AMHERST CHAPEL CUTS
 GO ON HONOR SYSTEM
Only Existing Schedule Missing All Absence Permits Revoked
 Temporarily.

Amherst, Mass. March ob HD --- Students Of Amherst college are wrestling today with the problem of agreeing to an honor system of "cuts" from chapel for the re- mainder of the term.
 Revocation of all cuts was order- ed yesterday by Dean Thomas c. Estey when 1t was learned that tho only existing list of these privileges had been stolen from the bulletin board.
 Subsequently an indignation meeting was held on the campus. Student orators denounced the deans action, and protested that all would have 10 suffer for the ac- ton Of an individual. They pointed out that the revocation would rob them of many cuts which they had saved to insure an early start on Easter vacations.
 A delegation WAS named to carry their grievances to President Olds and the dean, and, after a conter- ence, Dean Estey announced that privileges would be restored If the students would pledge themselves not to take more cuts than they know are due them.
 A vote today will determine the question, but in the meantime chapel attendance is obligatory for all. a
