Instructor Is Final Authority
in Excusing Students
From Classes
In a statement to The Kernel
Wednesday President Frank L. McVey interpreted several provisions
of the new absence rules which have
been questioned by members of the
student body and the faculty.
Dr. McVey pointed out that the
clause, "No student shall be allowed any cuts In any course at the
University of Kentucky," Is merely
a statement of a practice which has
been followed at the university for
the past 15 years and that the
holiday absence rule is simply a
change in penalty. Students are
excused under the present rule by
the prjfessor Instead of the dean,
President McVey said,
"Statement for the Kernel:
In 'view of the fact that certain
questions have been asked by some
of the students and a few members
of the faculty concerning some of
the provisions of the new absence
rules, I wish to make the following
comments:
Section Six reads, "All absences
shall be considered unexcused except, .when an-- excuse .Is given by
the Scholarship and Attendance
Committee for absences on the day
immediately preceding or following
a holiday."
It will be noted that this section
sets aside the old system of requiring a student who misses a recita
tion to go to the dean s office and
get an excuse. Under the new rule
the student no longer seeks an excuse from the dean for his absence, but instead he goes directly
to his class where he explains to
the instructor why he was absent.
The instructor in turn permits him
to make up his work unless lt be
a case where the Instructor is convinced in his own mind that the
student was not justified In his absence. In such a case the instructor can report such student to the
dean, but as specified in Section
Four, the recommendations of both
the dean and the instructor are
necessary In dropping a student
from a course because of absence.
If a student has an absence on
the day before or following a holi
day he is required to get an excuse
from the Scholarship and Attendance Committee In the same way
as was done under the old rule. In
case he Is unable to get an excuse
from this committee the penalty
has been changed so that Instead
of substractlng from his standing
he is required to do additional
work.
Section One of the new rules,
which reads "No student shall be
allowed any cuts in any course at
the University of Kentucky," Is
simply a statement of what has
been the practice at the University
of Kentucky for the past 15 years.

The convocation was opened with

In his opening remarks, President

Regarding the new absence rules,

show. He further cited sections one
and six and confirmed his Interpretations which, he said, he had
released to The Kernel for publication for this issue. Dr. McVey
stated that the new absence rules
were an attempt "to treat the students as men.'1

at an educational institution should

ARE ATHLETICS ON
THE WANE?

Distinctly uid mot nupuiuun, announcement
in the realm of Kentucky coilcgiato athletic
activities this week Is that emanating from the
president of Kentucky Wesleyan strlKing the
death knell to football at that institution,
tilgnincant as it applies to Kentucicy Wcsicyan,
it Is even more significant as an expression oi
tho possible tenor of tne stand to be taxen by
institutions of like scope and realm. To tne
student body at the university wnere lootban
life,
is such an integral part of
the idea of collegiate existence wltnout representation in that sport is inconceivable. Yet to
the smaller colleges and universities of the
country tho step taken by the officials of Kentucky Wesleyan is a solemn warning of what
appears to Tho Kernel as the inevitable.
The question most frequently asked as a
result of the action of this neighboring college
concerns the national outlook of college football.
Are athletics on the wane? Incongruous as It
may appear at first glance, the banning of football at Kentucky Wesleyan Is a most emphatic
denial to this assertion. Collegiate football has
taken a greater hold upon the student body and
the public than has any other activity of Its
nature in the present decade. True It IS that
football is becoming more and more a "big time"
affair, and that as such it must certainly draw
farther and farther away from those smaller
institutions unable to deal with it as such. That
the
football and athletics in general are not-owane, however, is, after careful consideration,
an incontrovertible fact
Students at Kentucky Wesleyan will not derive much satisfaction from the fact that the
officials In their instituion were but following
the wise course in their action. It has been a
great blow to those who during their college
careers have gone through defeat and victory
with their team. The Kernel can but express
sincere sympathy toward the student body of
Kentucky Wesleyan who in years past proved
such worthy and sportsmanlike opponents of
our own Wildcats in that sport Just abandoned.
