CONCERNING ABSENCES AND DEFICIENCIES

Last spring a prominent resident of Kansas, and one who has much to do with the
legislative welfare of the University, compZained to the Chancellor that, although
his boy had not attended his classes for over a month, yet no word had been sent
him about the absences Investigation showed that not one of the four teachers
concerned had repcrted his excessive absences to this office. Their negligence
prevented both the father and us from doing anything for or with this boy in time
to save even a part of the semester's work,

This is one illustration among many showing that, rightly or wrongly, the parents

of our students expect us to let them know if their children are not attending

their classes at least fairly regularly. For this reason, and also because a prompt
report of excessive absences will prevent the failure of many students, we are
asking all instructors of College students to check class attendance regularly and
to report promptly on the deficiency cards any student who, aside from known illness,
has one more absence from a class than the number of hours of credit given in the
course,

These deficiency cards are also intended to enable us to get prompt reports as soon
as it is known a student is failing, An early report frequently prevents a failure.
We earnestly request your cooperation in these reports,

WITHDRAWALS

No student should be considered withdrawn from your classes until you have received
a withdrawal card from this office, And if you don't get such a card promptly, the
student has not withdrawn, for we send out all withdrawal cards within 24 hours of
the student's withdrawal.

AUDITORS

No instructor should admit auditors to his classes except on receipt of an auditor's
class card, You are requested to observe this all-University regulation strictly.

ENROLLMENT
Judging from comments heard, we believe both students and faculty felt that our
enrollment this fall went off quite smoothly, We congratulate Professor Smith's
committee on its good work, The committee again asks for suggestions for further
improvement,
