the same scholastic attainment ae the non-ethletes, Under cur present
Big 31x Conference rules an athlete may continue his athletic eligible
lity so long as he makes a passing grede (grade "D") in et least
twenty-seven hours for the two preceding semesters, yet If he is ever
to receive e degree, he must make « "(" overage. Under our present
scheme added difficulties are heaped on the athlete who must work his
way, by limiting his college hours carried in any one senester to twelve.
Therefore, he wey get hie twenty-seven hours only by attending summer
echeol or by taking «4 correspondence eourse during the summer even |

than ethletios. To be eligible for such activities the student -ust be
meking « "C" average in st least twelve hours the preceding semesters.

Under this proposal I would recosmemi fer consideration to the
University Fresidents that an othlete be required to pass at least ten
hours per semester with a "C" average for four consecutive semesters
