BRYN MAWR LEAVE
IS UP TO Students
Faculty and Directors Willing
Tor Undergraduates to Regu-
late Week-Ends
MEET TO PASS ON PLAN

Absences over week-ends at Bryn
Mawr College will be up to the stu
dents themselves. it was announced to-
day;
The faculty is prepared to leave the
whole matter in The hands Of the stu
dents" it was stated, "either through
direct regulation through any Of their
recognized agencies or for indirect con
trol by building up sufficiently strong
and intelligent public opinion on the
troversv about week end absences f.
brought to an end. it is believed, and
the next move is up to the student"
themselves.
The student body met this afternoon
TO- .rhtifv the position of the faculty,
which has been approved by the di.
rcctors. and 10 vote on whether they
Will regulate absences by legislation of
their own or merely by the force Of
student opinion.
The question of week -end absences
has been discussed by faculty and stu
dents for long time. At the close Of
the last college year the Undergraduate
Association decided that they would
like TO try regulating the matter
through public opinion and the senti-
ment and example Of leading members
Of the student body.
Through n Misunderstanding, as the
faculty now announces. the president
and faculty Of the college did not know
that this was the desire of the stu
dents. ana students who had taken
more than the average number of week
end absences, and members of incoming
classes were admitted only with the
understanding that they would conform
to the practice of the majority.
Tie faculty and directors now an
nounce that this regulation Is rescindcd.
No regulation is imposed for the
present.
The faculty ut Il meeting November
l6 passed resolutions establishing the
new system, and also stipulating that
records be kept under the new system
of weekend and over night absences of
students during the year.
This record is to be kept by either
the students themselves, if they so de-
sire, or will be kept by the faculty, If
the students prefer. In either case It
is agreed that the record shall be ac.
cepted as correct and official.
