News: BOB HOKE For This Issue: Sports: HARRY HOLLJNGSWORTH "The, Status Quo Asked by Dean House to consider the general subject of class attendance by students, a 12-man committee all faculty mem bers is investigating the ramifications of the recurrent head-, ache. Existence of an all-faculty committee immediately throws the students on the defensive, for they anticipate an "over the desk" attitude in all professorial recommendations. Nonetheless, the students must waive their doubts, for the committee has been named and may soon unless it is like many another faculty advisory body produce a set of proposals. The students now must hope for a display of generosity, mingled with plenty of horse sense, in the faculty recommendations. The committee is scrutinizing three aspects of the attendance or rather, absence problem: weekend absences, first-day ab sences, and general cuts during the week. Action already taken by the English department can serve as a guidepost for the committee, except that the committee should proceed warily, for the English department guidepost has ar rows pointing in two directions. The first regulation of the English department, enacted, this quarter, says: "The department does not allow optional attend ance. A penalty for a single absence will be evidenced by a lowering of the student's class standing." Obviously this provi sion is unwise and unfair. It is entirely understandable that a student might miss a single class and not be harmed in the least. Equally, the chance is that he will miss the most important lec ture of the quarter. In either case, his loss will be reflected in the final examination. Therefore, why direct undue attention at an isolated absence? The second regulation reads : "Unexcused absences in excess of three shall result in the Dean's being asked to drop the stu dent from the course." Basically, this rule is both fair and just. It is much like the practice now followed by most instructors. The general assumed role is that the student may cut class as many times during the quarter as the class meets per week. The third regulation is: "Absences from1 classes on Friday afternoon or Saturday shall count double." This rule is discip linary, purely and simply, something that generally is unneces sary and undesired on this campus. The final two regulations establish machinery for adminis tration of the others. Neither extreme theory of education teaching-through-guidance or teaching-through-regimentation is involved -in the discussions now emanating from every' gathering of' students and faculty members. There are few wrho believe that an op tional attendance plan will work successfully here, at least not so long as we have in our midst the playboys, lamebrains, and debutantes who are here for they know not what. Likewise, there are few (though the magnetic power of European totali tarianism is probably multiplying the number) who wish to in stall a rigid, no-Cut mandate. Americans, in many respects, are still sensible people. They do not like coercion or persecution. A no-cut rule and some of the provisions of -the English department regulations are op posed to this American taste for fair play. On the other hand, Americans do not approve of rampant freedom that will drive them over the brink. An optional attendance rule on this cam pus would encourage this tendency. Americans, instead, like the middle-of-he-road, common sense approach to their problems. They uphold the individual so long as this attention to the one does not harm the many. Thus it should be with a decision on attendance regulations for the University. Each faculty member should prescribe his own rules. Furthermore, he should enforce them. Some courses de mand almost constant attendance if they are to mean anything to the student; others have stress laid on outside preparation rather than note-taking on class. It is impossible for the Uni versity, or any department, to lay down a fair rule applicable A FORMER EMPEROR AZO Madison Ave. New York. N. Y.

This disrespectful manner of evaluating a professor's worth is not worthy of the Carolina . student body. The poll is disrespectful inasmuch as it gives students .the opportunity to demonstrate publicly a professor's popularity. A professor's popularity is good talk at a bull session but for pub lication in a newspaper it is bad. It is not fair to the professor, who does a thorough job of instruction, but, who because of some charac teristic or weakness is rated low by the students. A student, who has never had this professor, on reading the results of the poll may decide against taking his course,, or if he does take it he will enter the class prepared to dislike the professor. JThis leaves the professor with a higher hurdle to jump in order to get his message to the student than he would have had if the student had been allowed to form his own opinions. Many professors may be unaf fected by the students' opinion of them. But there will be some who will have a feeling of regret that they have not made more of a suc cess at their job, that they have not incurred the liking and respect of their students. There is, for in- " stance, a professor here, who has devoted his whole life to teaching. He spends long hours preparing lectures and various interesting features for his classes. He is inter ested in all of his students and would be happy to have any of them ,come discuss anything they wished with him. This professor has the difficulty of having a very low monotonous voice. His . facial ex pression is also extremely stead fast. His students say that he drives them to sleep. In spite of all this professor's effort and innate ability he was graded almost straight F's in the professor poll of two years ago. Such an injustice should not be published. , Personal antagonisms cannot help but be brought into such a poll, and such a poll is not the place to air one's personal feelings. It should not be allowed to let the public be lieve that such and such professor . is F so far as personality is con cerned when in reality his person ality is pretty good but his grades . are harsh. The professor poll is an abomina- B tion of the professor's rights to deal with their students as they will. It shows a fault in modern education, that students feel so free, that they publish their opinion of their pro fessors, so that the professors are forced to cater to the whims of stu dents in order to maintain the good opinion of the student bady. irthdays (Students whose names appear below may obtain a movie pass by calling at the box office of the Car olina Theqte" on the day of publi cation) '' ; .

(ACP) Classrooms at Westminster college will be done over in colors like salmon, apricot and "cool green" in an experi ment to relieve the monotony of drab walls and thus keep sleepy ones awake. Moving figure in the plan is Prof. Harold J. Brennan, head of the art department, who . believes college classrooms are the "last citadel of drabness" and should be "individual ized." "There would be fewer dozing and sleepy ( students if ' classrooms were made attractive, instead of being merely 50 chairs surrounded by 80 feet of blackboards and bare walls," Brennan said. r- t J 0- ij '- :vz Hrr-, m i - j- Tfw don't bavs to Is a SoTomsa ' f8cojjtfzeiqtie8a.IaInScat8lifew of a girt wfto can reaBy nk Iter oaa- 'iLJLMW JOT to every class and to every student.
