Comments
On Excuses
Dr. J. T. Penney, dean of men,
has made the following statements
concerning excuses for absences
i for male students:
"I have not required male stu
- dents of the University to hand
- me a written excuse for absences,
i assuming that their word vas as
- good as any written statement.
"But a group of students have
seen fit to violate this rule by
taking an extended- trip, then ob
taining an excuse saying they were
ill.
"Several students have informed
me that this is being done all of
the time; I regret that this is the
case.
"However, this does not excuse
these particular students, nor any
others that are called to my at
tention.
"I sincerely believe that the
majority of the University stu
dents do not have this attitude, and
I will continue to excuse them,"
Penney concluded.
