              valentines out no midterm pro but don't flunk no valentines to upperclassmen and no valentine probation for any students — that's the official word from john d leith associate dean of students by faculty action last spring issuance of mid-semester re ports or valentines was re duced to encompass only the freshman and sophomore classes the practice of valentine proba tion was also dropped dean leith told the brown and white last week this is another move by the university to give the students the greater degree of responsibility they have been asking for we hope that they accept it in the right spirit leith emphasized the only official notice of fail ing work in a course will now come at the end of the semester when it will be too late for many people the dean warned he suggested that those students who do not have appropriate self management skills to deal with this new ruling should either develop them fast or be prepared to suffer the consequences cause it is
