it seems entirely fitting that an investigati>”
into the normal amount of work successfully carried and pass »~
by the majority of students at the University of Kansas s
serve as a standard for athletic competition, Most of the
athletes work all or part time in an effort to get through
school, ff a student works he may carry but 12 hours of
academic work, Should he pass 100% of his work the two pre-
ceding semesters he would still be short three or four hours
on his eligibility requirements, Summer school or correspond-
ence study is the only thing open to him for eligibility, He
needs the summer work to recoup his financial depletion,

ft would respectfully recommend for consideration
the raising of the standard to a "C" average and the lowering
of the required hours to 10 each semester, making a total of

20 hours of "C" for the two preceding semesters prior to
athletic participation, If such action was reported favorably
by the Senate, the same could be conveyed to the Big Six Con-
ference for their consideration at their next meeting. =

Since Professor W, W, Davis is chairman of the
eivageter of Kansas Physical Education Corporation (Athletic
oard}j, and since he is also faculty representative from
‘Kansas to the Big Six Conference, which also means that he is
~ emattelit eee ne cent avenes of the Big Six,
espec yY propose be favorably considered for the
ehairmanship of the Senate Committee on thleties,

Respectfully submitted,

Chairman, Senate Committee on Athletics,
