The following revision covering AB SENCES has been approved by the Faculty and is in effect: 17. (1) Prompt and regular attendance ■ upon classes is required of all students. A student is expected to give class at tendance first consideration and to arrange necessary absences to cause the minimum conflict with college duties. (2) Absence from class, regardless of the cause, results in a part of the work in that class being missed. Responsibility for making up work missed rests on the stu dent. The instructor of a class is the sole authority as to a student’s proficiency and final grade in that course. He is also the sole judge as to whether the circumstances of the absence and the work of the stu dent warrant his cooperation in providing opportunity to make up quizzes and labo ratory work missed. The head of each de partment is responsible for maintaining a consistent policy within the department. (3) Each instructor in charge of a class or section shall keep an accurate record of attendance of its members. He shall re port the total number of accumulated ab sences of each student on his mid-semester and semester grade reports. Whenever a student is absent from class for one week for reasons unknown or deemed unsatis factory to the instructor, and in such other cases as the instructor deems ad visable, he shall report such absences through the head of his department to the dean of the student’s school. (4) For persistent absence from a class or classes a student may be required to drop the course or courses upon recom mendation of the instructor. Students ceas ing to attend a class prior to filing with the Registrar the approval of their dean to drop the course, will be considered ab sent from class and subject to penalty for persistent absence. Flagrant violation of the absence rules may result in the dis missal of the student from the college. (5) The Dean of Men shall publish, reg ularly, a list of students absent due to illness and those absent on trips authorized by the Executive Committee such as in spection trips and official trips represent ing the College. This list shall be for the information and guidance of the instructor in providing opportunity for a student to make up work missed. It shall be the responsibility of the student asking such opportunity, to call the attention of the instructor to the presence of his name on such list promptly upon his return to class. (6) Students allowed to register on pro bation, as provided in Paragraphs 29 and 30 of the Regulations, are expected to at tend all classes except where the absence is absolutely unavoidable. A list of such students will be issued from the Registrar’s office as soon as possible. Instructors are expected to enforce the "no cut” provision of the probation and to report unnecessary absences of these students promptly. F. C. BOLTON, Dean. SCHEDULE CHANGES 1.

CALLING ALL SPORTSMEN— MAKE YOUR VACATION a REAL PLEASURE with the PROPER EQUIPMENT A New and Complete Line of Sporting Goods is Available Now. at Jones Tire & Sporting Goods Co. 803 South Main Bryan, Texas Dial 2-2832 V-2 ENGINEER II The Story of DICK PORTER TT is typical of Dick Porter’s experience that his latest assignment, that of experimenting with such “guided missiles” as the V-2 rocket, is almost a complete engineering departure from his earlier fields of concentration. As a senior at the U. of Kansas in 1934, his in terest was in radio. His doctor’s thesis at Yale in 1937 was on frequency doublers. But at General Electric Dick found opportunity to learn other phases of engineering. In G-E engi neering courses and “on Test” he worked out prob lems in transformers, induction motors, oil circuit breakers. His first major assignment with G.E. was in a field not only new to him but to the electrical in dustry—he contributed to the pioneer research in amplidyne control. As the war progressed, flight engineers began to dream of the Superfortress, whose gun turrets would be turned electrically, whose heavy guns would be aimed electronically. Development of this gunnery system called for a supervisor whose en gineering knowledge ranged through many fields. It was Dick Porter, less than ten hard-working years out of Kansas U., who drew the assignment. This year he was presented with the Yale Engi neering Association’s award for the advancement of science. Next to schools and the U.S. Government, General Electric 1$ the foremost employer of college engineering graduates. For his campus radio station, Dick built studio and transmitter equipment. Today he is project engineer in the study of captured V-2 rockets. GENERAL H ELECTRIC
