Cancelled classes Con't from pg. 21 THIS at L Dr. Charles Smith, vice president for academic af- fairs, said no make-up day was planned. Some of the responsibility of cancelling classes belongs to the students also. When a student decides to commute, he or she assumes some of the risks. All kinds of pro- blems arise, including the weather and automobile breakdowns. The university has obligations to students who live on campus, too, Davis said. The general rule is that classes will be open unless otherwise announced. Pro- blems which arise with absences due to weather con- ditions or other problems should be discussed with the faculty members involved. Faculty members control their own grading and atten- dance policies. I can't in- terfere and won't, Davis said. Davis added students shouldn't put themselves in danger trying to get to classes and he urged both faculty and students to act reasonably. Wearing warm coats and heavy mittens, Diane McCuiston and Vicki Lieppe seem well prepared for nature's onslaught.

It looks pretty when it's falling, but wet snow in one's hair and down the back of the neck isn't quite so pleasant, as these two students can attest.

Efforts to discover the last time snow had caused classes to be cancelled at Cameron were unsuccessful because apparently the university does not keep such records. Night classes were cancell- ed Thursday, Jan. 31, after the Oklahoma Highway Patrol requested that Cameron cancel classes due to the slippery road condi- tions. Friday classes were also cancelled because of predicted low temperatures and more snow, which did not fall as expected. Whatever decision is made is generally wrong when you're talking about the weather, Davis said. The official policy at Cameron is classes always open. Davis said, Cameron University is difficult because of the large com- muting population. If only half of the students show up, the instructors usually repeat the material. There are other considera- tions, too, according to Davis. The instructors have varying make-up policies for exams and assignments. The question arises, will a grade be lower if a student couldnit make it because of the weather? I would like to think our faculty is understanding and compas- sionate, Davis said. Another consideration is that if the university accepts tuition for 16 weeks of in- struction, it is under certain obligations to deliver that much instruction to the students.
