Managing Editor The Academic Advisory Counci this week proposed several change to modify class attendance regula tions. The council, composed of mem bers of the faculty and adminis. tration, will present their proposals to the faculty for approval at a meeting next Wednesday. Attempting to broaden the basi of excuses, the committee will sug gest the following reasons for ex cused cuts: -incapacitating illness -official representative of the University -death of a close relative -religious holiday -circumstances preventing at tendance but beyond the con trol of the student. Under the present regulations the maximum number of unexcuse< absences allowed in a course num bered 299 or below is two time the number of weekly class meet ings. Absences in these course will be excused only for the fol lowing reasons: akes 0 easier I ing a Ph.D. Students of technical school trade schools and certain apprrn ticeship programs can apply fo an occupational deferment. Thi classification (2-A) is awarded i the activity is "deemed necessar: to the public health, safety, or in terest." The occupational deferment is not automatically granted, but has provided the local hoards the op tion to defer many who would otherwise be drafted before com pleting their education.
