Election Excuses

Frank L. Hereford, Jr.,
announced yesterday the
following clarification of
President Shannon's policy on
excused absences:

"It was not intended that
excused absence on election
day be limited to students
desiring to vote in Virginia.

"Upon giving advance notice
to Instructors, students will be
excused from class to the extent
necessary for them to vote or
participate in elections either
within or outside of the State of
Virginia."
