semester these cuts are allowed for sick ness and all other unavoidable ab sences woe to the student who overcuts the penalty is a grade of deficiency athletes are particularly hamper ed for all out-of-town trips aire to be made on cutting time if an athlete uses his cuts for trips and then becomes ill he's out of luck some instructors take particular de light in flunking students who participate mi sports other tutors are more inclined to be fair these very instructors most like ly look on oxfqrd and cambridge as the essence of things education al billy stevenson's statement that the english universities are very le nient with athletes therefore is in teresting oarsmen mi training for the big race on the thames are permitted to go six weeks without attending classes and no one says boo they must pass the mark in the final examination and that is the only requisite compared with some of the american colleges oxford and cambridge are athletic rather than educational
