2. Family circumstances.
3. Quarantine.
4. Prearranged visit to social institutions (olympiads, contests, sport competitions, forums), discussed with the principal or the Head Teacher.
5. Emergencies (Administrative Approved).
Unexcused Absence

John Priestly invited his friend Olaf, a Norwegian student, to Oxford for a week-end. He intended to take Olaf round Oxford. John is an undergraduate there. He loves Oxford and seems to know all about it.
While they were walking through one of the gardens, a scholarly-looking man in a cap and gown walked past and smiled at John. As he walked away Olaf said, Surely hes not an undergraduate?
John: No, thats my tutor.
Olaf: What is a tutor?
J: He, more or less, plans your work, suggests the books you should read and
sets work for you to do. Every student has a tutor and as soon as you come to Oxford one of the first things you do is to go and see your tutor.
O: Does the tutor also give lectures?
J: Yes, he may.
O: But arent lectures given by the professors?
J: Yes, though professors dont give a great many lectures. They are often
appointed not so much to do teaching work as to carry on research in their particular subject.
O: Can you go to any lecture you like, no matter whether it is by a tutor or professor of your college or not?
|
|
|
J: Yes. Lectures are organized not by the college but by the university, for all
the students are members of a college and the university.
O: You said the lectures were organized by the university. Where is the
university?
J: It may seem rather strange to you but there isnt really any university at
Oxford as there is, for example, at Manchester or Bristol or Edinburgh.
Oxford (like Cambridge) is a collection of colleges, each self-governing and independent. The University is merely an administrative body that
organizes lectures, arranges examinations, gives degrees, etc. Each college has its own character and individuality. But there are students of all kinds in each college; I mean you dont get all science students at one college and law students at another. Every college hat its arts men and science men, its medical students and its engineers. Every student, of course, follows his own course of study, but he gains a lot from living among those who represent all other branches.
O: By the way, what are you studying? Its medicine, isnt it? You are going
to be a doctor?
J: As a matter of fact, Im not. That was the idea when I came here, but my
interest has always been in language learning and language teaching so I
changed from medicine to modern languages. Im in my last year now.
O: Well, I wish you luck.

STUDENTS LIFE
I.
What tradition is popular among the students at Cambridge?
In two weeks I shall finish my first year at Cambridge. Let me tell you something about students life and my impressions of it.
The students are mainly English, but there are many others. Particularly so in the block of rooms in which I live, for my neighbours include a Chinese studying Law, an Indian studying English, Canadian studying History and a Frenchman studying Science.
The rooms have a pleasant outlook over the College gardens. There is a very small gas-stove on which we make coffee or tea. It is a popular tradition here to invite friends in the afternoon for tea hot buttered toast and jam. To each room there is a manservant who with a women servant, known as a bedder, keep it clean.
What are students sconced (, ) for?
In the old days when Colleges were religious institutions the students were clergymen () and their life was much more strict and disciplined that now. Friendship with young ladies was not allowed and the only women inside the college were washerwomen. The legend is that these had to be old and ugly.

The students eat their meals in the College dining-hall. At some Colleges there is an interesting tradition. It is known as sconcing. If a student comes late to dinner or he is not correctly dressed, or if he breaks one of the laws of behaviour, then the senior student orders him to be sconced.
A large silver cup, known as scone cup, filled with beer is brought and placed infront of him and he must drink it in one attempt without taking the cup from his lips (it holds two and a half pints, or 1.5 litres). If he can do it, then the senior student pays for it, if not, the cup is passed and the student who has been sconced must pay for it. In general the discipline is not strict.

STUDENTS LIFE
II.
What do the so-called Bulldogs do if a student whom they come up to runs away?
The students can stay out till twelve oclock. Each evening a Proctor with two assistance, called Bulldogs, walks about the town keeping an eye on the students behaviour. If he sees a student breaking a rule he will come up to him and say, Are you a member of the University, sir?, and if a student runs away, then the
Bulldogs run after him, and if they catch him (they are chosen, it is said, because they are good runners), fine him.
Apart from fines a student may be dismissed from the University for one term.
What students societies are there at Cambridge and which is the most popular one?
We attend our lectures in the morning and in the afternoon we are free. I usually work in my room or take part in some sport. The most popular sport is rowing.
There are over a hundred societies and clubs. There are religious societies and society for those who dont believe, political, sporting and dramatic societies. These is even one for people with beards. Perhaps the most popular is the Debating Society at which students debate political and other questions with famous politicians and writers.
The walks into the country, the talks, the games and the work, the traditions and the customs all are part of the students life which would be poorer if any of them was lost.

Why we chose the Lumumba Friendship University
I.
The Peoples Friendship University brings together young people of different countries. The University started functioning with a handful of students from Asia, Africa, Latin America and also from Russia. But each academic year brought new entrants, and now it has more than four thousand students. The number of boys and girls who wish to enter the University is very high. I believe that over eight thousand applications are received from about six hundred vacancies. This shows the Universitys growing popularity and prestige, why do so many young men wish to enter this University? Let us try and analyse the reasons and we shall see clearly that this University fully deserves its popularity.
I believe everybody knows that education is free in Russia. Foreign students, too, receive free education here. They pay nothing. Furthermore, every student gets a monthly grant.
The University is staffed by highly qualified teachers. Professors and lecturers are always ready to give all sort of help not only in the classroom but also outside it. A student may come to them whenever he is in difficulties. Groups are small. This raises the quality of teaching. Relations between teachers and students are friendly. Students may use the University library. Books are given without charge, and students may keep them till they pass their examinations. The students dont have to buy books, the library has practically all the books they need. It gets magazines and journals from many different countries. It is really a pleasure to see boys and girls from different countries studying together in the comfortable reading-room.

Why we chose the Lumumba Friendship University
II.
Studying science is meaningless without experimental work. For this every department at the University has its own laboratory where students can do their experiments and in this way develop a scientific outlook and initiative.
Students are given practical training at factories and plants. During practical training students learn to do things themselves. For example, a petroleum engineering student, went last year with a group of students to the oilfields. He had a months training there a learnt things that he shall never forget.
Free medical care is only dream in capitalist countries. But here, in Russia, medical care is free for all. It is free for foreigners too. There is a polyclinic at our University for students and all working there. If it is necessary the patient is sent to the hospital.
To help students keep physically fit time is given for outdoor games, sport and physical training. In short, the international institutions provides for students all-round development.
Debates and seminars are arranged. At our University club young people from different countries often perform their native songs and dances. By this means we all learn of each others customs and culture.
The University certainly has a bright future. Here we, the boys and girls of different cultures, races, faith and colour study and live together in a friendly atmosphere. It would be fine if there were more such Universities in different parts of the world.
