The possible enactment of stricter rules for attendance of Saturday classes will be investigated by a special faculty committee, Edwin C. Kemble, professor of Physics, disclosed yesterday.
Kemble had complained against attendance cuts at Saturday and General Education class meetings at the Faculty meeting last Tuesday. He said that he would not be a member of the investigating committee.
Deploring the loss of morale caused among students and faculty by empty seats, Kemble said he favors a system similar to Columbia's rather than the College's present one. Columbia requires a student to have a limited number of cuts in order to get credit for a course.
Kemble claimed that class attendance or lack of it is "a mutual problem of students and faculty." He criticized the feeling that "it is beneath our dignity" to enforce attendance.
