Absence No Longer Bars Columbia
Mem from Examinations.

There was JOY among Columbia's undergradu-
ates yesterday over faculty announcement re-
garding the cut system. Students absent from
10 per cent or more of lectures have been barred
from the examinations in that course. Last
year this regulation caused fifteen seniors to
funk in the June examination and lost their de
grees.
Beginning with the coming week, student
may cut all the lectures and rectations until the
end of the term and If he IS bright enough to
pass a good examination he will receive full or
partial credit without regard to the percentage
of attendance.
All absences since February l will be wiped of
the records.

the offensive partisan will be a natural
if not necessary product Of the politics
Of that government. Therefore the Of
fensive partisan Is to be looked for. and
often, on the hustings and at tho polls.
Expected evil may be minimized. The
offensive partisan, however. is decided
~ out Of place IN the halls of legisla-
tion. There he will not, at least does
not, subordinate party service to that

loyalty and OF the worth Of the SER

There is a partisanship. however, that

SOLID TRAINS OF
vESTIBULED CARS
Pennsy PrepavestO Run Them
on All its Accom- datiOn
Trains

The Pennsylvania railroad is preparing
to make an important change in the make
up Of its passenger trains. which will give
better coach service for the local trains
solid trains OF vestibuled cars are shortly
to be run. it is stated, taking the place OF
open platform coaches.
IL IS stated that the vestibuled coaches
are being assigned for service and while
the change from the open platform TO the
vestibuled cars will not be accomplished
all at once, the new makeup OF passenger
trains will gradually be brought about and
all Of the Pennsylvania trains will be Of
the closed platform sort, the same as the
flyers now are
The vestibued cars are an improve
ment from the passengers point OF view
because Of being more free from dust and
dirt than the open platform coaches. In
bad weather tho vestibules also offer ad-
vantages.
Probably one Of the most important con-
siderauon lies in the fact that the vesti-
buled coaches offer an additional degree
OF safety for the travellers. when it comes
TO getting on and Off OF the trains. As the
Pennsylvania has double tracks through
out this section, It is possible for passen'
gers to take a risk in getting or Of the
wrong side OF the train and crossing over
the second track With the vestibuled
coaches in service. the passengers are
obliged 20 get Off on the right side.

Before pulling the hook in this kind
OF a box one must open the door. In
nearly all boxes this is done with a
key. The keys OF some boxes are
kept in a building near by, and there
are signs TO show which building. In
other boxes the key can be seen be-
hind a peice OF thin glass in the door
One can get it in an instant by break
ing the glass with a stick, a stone, OF
a knifehandle. The glass falls out
Of the way as soon as It is broken.
After the firemen are called, work
at getting out the things you want
most to save. Don't throw the clock

your clothing, as some persons have
/ done.
