N prepared by Dean of Students Elizabeth Parker, reveals some in- t( teresting facts and figures. At the ' present sophomores, juniors, and seniors have unlimited cuts in all classes with the exception of lab oratories and physical education a classes. Last year's sophomore class, for- e merly allow I only two cuts per t three-hour course has the greatest percentage of cutting-62.5%. Only a 29% of the juniors missed more , than the former allowance of three b cuts per three-hour class, while G 43% of the senrdYs gut in excehis or the previous year's allowance. It is difficult to say exactly how f grades have been affected by this M new system. Reports indicate, n however, that more sophomores fell below a C average when cutting y beyond the old quota than did any L t other class. Of the classes so cut ting 19.5% resulted in grades be- it low graduation quality. Juniors did better with 14.9% of the classes tcut beyond the former limit result ing in grades below C. The seniors t< ranked highest with only 5% be- a e low C. n -A study was made of the attend- t' r ance records of twenty-seven stu- e .dents who had cut one or more ~. classes more than might reason- v n ably be expected. Of these, sixteen v e were sophomores, six juniors, and five seniors. Apparently, upper- o .classmen are more cautious and t d realize more of the value of class a attendance. In cases studied, the a Lt tendency was to cut one or two t classes to excess, frequently de e pending on the hour and day oft t meeting. t d One item is of particular inter h est. Of the number of classes at-t -tended by upperclassmen, 7.4% r were not cut at all; 16% were cut - -only once; 16.8% twice; and 15.9% y e three times. Thus 56% of the -classes attended by upperclassmen 6 e have been cutting no more than g the present allowance for fresh e men. i.
