'Celebrate Football Victory During Week-End; But Don't Cut Classes,' Engleman Says
Howard Engleman, A.S.C. president, advised students contemplating a victory holiday next week (should K.U. defeat Nebraska) to do their celebrating on Saturday night and Sunday.
Reiterating the University senate's previous pronouncements on student athletic holidays, Engleman said, "participants in any unauthorized student celebration are subject to dismissal from school. However, if the celebration has no organizers and involves a majority of the student body, I know of nothing the University could do other than to charge celebrants with an unauthorized absence."
"Any students taking part in a spontaneous celebration Monday will have to face the natural consequences of their actions," Engleman warned.
The A.S.C. discussed proposals for an evening celebration in the first meeting of the fall term, but seemed to feel that any planned celebration would be far too late to be effective and that most students would have celebrated already. Engleman added.
