THE UNIVERSITY READY FOR

OPT IONAL CLASS ATTENDANCE
FOR SENIORS?
lime The Kernel has weighed the
hoi ;i
or die tliaiirc for success or failure
possibilities
of the optional (lass attendance plan lot seniors.
The definite conclusion which has been reached
is that Mich a plan is highly feasible and that
(his campus is fully pupated to receive it.
First of all. this newspaper wishes to assure
its readers that the idea is neither original, radvariety. It has
ical, nor of the harum-scarusuccessfully tried in other noted institubeen
tions and has been shown to be highly satisfactory, both in its practical workability and in
other and important intangible phases.
The idea is an outgrowth of general educational practices and theories in the West and
Mid-Weswhere most of the best ideas which
set education upon a higher level, are
tend to
being originated. In every university which
has tried the optional attendance plan, it has
worked, surprisingly and gratifyingly well.
There can certainly be no argument that
seniors are able to handle the individual probe
lems involved in such a plan. Class room
is a valuable and necessary element in
the making of educated people. It is far more
useful and appropriate to the needs of students
than is, say, military discipline, but surely it is
an easily seen fact that seniors should not need
to be placed under such jurisdiction. If such is
the case, the University should hesitate in granting degrees to seniors and sending them on out
into the world, where they will be one short
years from now.
On the campus, the more theoretical results
would be three-fold- .
Firstly, it would set up a
new iesonsibility for seniors, giving them needed and, we believe, rightful preparation for the
days alter graduation; secondly, class room technique ill leailieis would have to be improved to
attract seniors to class. This improvement would
spiead itself into the lower division and alleviate
one ol ihe nioie seiious problems of the campus;
and thiidly. and of equal importance, the scholarly aspm of the campus, not any too gieat at
piesent. would be stimulated moie by a movement ot this naluie ihan by any other method.
Actually, there would be little transition from
(he piesent system to the
idea.
Seniors usually are awaie of the number of cuis
which aie good for them. They also know that
classes ihey can cut and they know when to cut
without losing any of the more vital aspects of
t,

tional system. Wc ask only the thoughtful con
sideration of the proper authorities in weighing the merits and faults of this plan. Wc be
lieve in a none too distant future this idea will
become an integral part of every educational
insititution worth its salt.
