This requisite is just. slightly ilbove the minimum per- mance that will keep a student off academic probation. ,If n student is on academic probation and ‘l‘uils to raise his ‘mi its by the following semester, he is dismissed from ‘sclool, for , The Midwest Conference committee of facility repree jsentatives and athletic directors voted last November to lchang’e the conference rulelregarding eligibility. The old rule, in effect since 1955756, stated that in order to be .elig‘iblc an athlete must currently be passing in twelve ,llollrs of academic work, and that eight of these 12 credit illours must carry an average grade of C or better. This comes out to a 1.67 minimum grade point. The revamped rule, less specific but on the whole equally demanding. states simply that anyone who is in school is eligible. Since there are few students at Grinnell with 2i cunni- .lative average of less than 1.67, the new conference rule, is applied to Grinncll College, is. more strict than the old one. Next Monday the faculty of Grinnell College will con- sider the proposed change of the current rule to conform with the new conference regulation and with our nine sis- ter schools. One possible objection to this change, an impli- ed lower g of academic standards. is met, as noted above, by comprulng the current eligibility rule with the rule for remaining ill school. Studies by Mickey Holmes, Gl'innell sports publi y director, show that there is no appreciable difference be- tween an athlete's in-season grades. and the same athlete’s. grades when he is not out for it sport. Holmes’ statistical data effectively met the argument that a marginal strident ,nlny be pushed over the point of no return by participation in sports. Recently the “faculty approved another new rule stat- ing that any athlete eligible at the beginning of a sports season would be allowed to finish that season. This affects the winter teams, whose schedules span portions of both semesters, In keeping- with this decision, with the conference rul- ing, and with the other nine conference schools, ollr faculty ,should vote "yes” on the proposed change.
