Parental Fear

Parents paying tuition bills are
inclined to react strongly and
provide the student any incentive
or fear which the letter may
lack, he explained.

The next letter to parents and
student informs the latter that
he is now on Attendance Probation
and further absence will result
in his suspension.

Mr. Cauthen emphasized during
the interview that extremely
few students have ever been
suspended under this rule and
pointed out that only three years
ago, some student organizations
requested that the administration
not alter its attendance policy.

The regulations regarding attendance
were established by a
vote of the College faculty.
