Amherst. Mass., March 15 CP)
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 It 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 tho
dean's action, and protested that
all would have to suffer for the ac
tion 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
Kaster vacations.
A delegation we.s named to carry
their grievances to President Olds
and the dean, and, after a confer
ence, Dean Kstcy announced that
privileges would be restored if the
students would pledge themselves
not to take more cuts than they
know are due thrm.
A vote today "will determine the
question, but in the meantime
chapel attendance Is obligatory for
all.
