From The
Proposal Not Intended
To Ease Scholarship
By BRUCE
Sports
A proposal which eases scholas
tic requirements for University stu
dents working in extracurricular
activities was passed 123-77 by
the faculty senate Tuesday after-
coon.
The proposal which, of course
mr a , . . . .
necis university atmetes, says
In effect that correspondence work
up to six hours a year will be
accepted toward fulfilling eligibili
ty requirements. Previously, a stu
dent could not apply extension ere-
cits toward eligibility require
ments, except when these courses
were taken to remove an incom
plete or failure.
However, under the old rule and
under the new change, all Univer
sity students must have passed
at least 24 credit hours in the pre
ceding year or summer school seg
sion to be eligible for extracurricu
lar activity. Husker athletes, in
addition, must earn 60 per cent of
their total hours with a 4-average
or above.
The only change, then, is that
extension credit may be applied
to fulfilling eligibility requirements
for extracurricular activity.
The Immediate reaction that
teems to spring from the faculty
senates action is, generally, "Why
make It easier for the students to
fulfill ollcrthllltv rMinlremente?"
And specifically, "Why make
easier for the athletes to slide
through school?"
These are important questions
and need to be clarified. First of
all, (I'm speaking now specifical
ly about the athletes) the proposal
adheres directly to the Big Seven
regulation concerning athletic elig
lbility. This rule states that "any
working summer school, by cor
respondence or extension, which is
accepted by a member institution
may be counted toward eligibility."
This is not a unique move. Ev
ery other school in the Big Seven
has been employing it for years.
(In fact, a Kansas State spokes
man said in a letter to' a member
of the Nebraska Athletic Council
that a Wildcat basketball player
' last season had made up scholastic
deficiencies through NU's exten
sion service.)
Secondly, the proposal Is geared
to help the athletes who, for some
teaaon, finds himself without
aovgh hours or with Some scholas
tic deficiency. Instead of going to
summer school, perhaps Incurring
a financial burden or ruining va
cation plans, he can make up the
academic deficit through the Uni
versity correspondence course
while still working at his regular
wmner Job.
An important point here is that
extension credit will only be rec
ognlzed if It is taken from the
Univsity service. Nebraska is
the only Big Seven School adhering
to this plan, thus insuring that
the extension credits are sound
Thirdly, the proposal has three
controlling factors to insure that
we do not breed a 9-hour, 11-man
football team.
1. Only six hours extension cred
It can be applied to the 24 required
for eligibility. The proposal is in
tended only to help the student
who lacks a few hours not to
give him a chance of never ap
pearing in the classroom. He must
still, each semester, be registered
for a minimum of 12 hours.
Charles Miller, chairman of the
Athletic Council, strongly empha
sized this point. "Neither the old
rule nor the new rule has any bear
ing on the requirement that a stu
dent engaged in any activity, in
eluding athletics, must carry a nor
mal load in the college in which he
Is enrolled."
Bill Orwig, Director of Univer
sity Athletics, reiterated that "in
no instance, unless extenuating cir
cumstances intervened, would ath
letes be allowed to carry less than
the normal academic load."
He pointed out that only one ath
lete is now carrying 12 hours. One
other is carrying ten, but he had
to drop a five hour course,
Another controlling factor Is
that:
2. Every correspondence course
must be approved by the Dean of
the College in which the student
Is enrolled. Herein, in the admin
istration of the proposal, lies the

Husker golfers were tied Wed
nesday by a surprising Omaha
University golf team. Each team
had IVi points.
Nebraska defeated the Indians
earlier in the year. Jack Moore
had the lowest round for NU with
a 74.
The results:
Jack Moore (N) and Dean Wil

chance that the athletes might get
"the easy treatment."
cue mere snoma be no reason
why an athlete or anyone else
snouin De enrolled in correspon
dence courses of a "ball-bouncing
nature." If the course does not per
tain to his neld of study or he
cannot give good reason for taking
the course, the credits should not
be recognized.
And if the type of extension
courses taken by the athletes is
watched Judiciously, and they
aren't enrolled in "pipes" or cours
es they should have been taking
during the regular school year,
these academic credits should be
counted towards extracurricular
eligibility just as well as toward a
degree.
The last factor Is that
3. two men of fine ability and
stature will see that this proposal
Is not abused: Bill Orwig, who
has been head of the Athletic De
partment for almost a year, has
already shown that he definitely
is interested in integrating athlet
ics and scholarship. He is interest
ed in boys working towards a de
gree. And he stands firmly behind
the administration in all its policies.
Col. C. J .Frankforter, counse
lor to the University athletes, is
the other athletic official to whom
I'm reierring. He is interested in
the scholarship of the Husker ath.
letes. He will not tolerate athletes
eking through school with light
loads and easy correspondence
work.
As it stands, the proposal is
sound. I have discussed it almost
entirely in the scope of the athlete,
but it applies to every person in
the University who is engaged in
any form of extracurricular activi
ty. It is not designed to ease this
student painlessly through school.
It is designed to give him a chance
to bring up his academic defi
ciencies without going to summer
school or having to drop out of the
activity during the next semester.

Af('s Hofmaier Selected
To fan Big 7 Title Hopes
By BOB COOK
Staff Sports Writer
Big Seven baseballers will lay
their cards on the table this week
end in a showdown for the Big
Seven championship.
Nebraska's hopes for a title bid
rest on a crucial two game series
with defending NCAA champion
Missouri here Friday and Satur
day. Play will open on the Husker
diamond at 3 p.m. this afternoon
and tomorrow's fray will start at
noon to avoid any conflict with
the Nebraska High School Track
and Field Championships.
Husker Chances Good
Husker chances for the confer
ence crown are manifold. A dou
ble victory over the Tigers is an
ultimatum for the Sharpemen, and
the results of the Oklahoma nine's
encounters will be the deciding
factors. The Sooners are in the
driver's seat now with a 3-1 rec
ord. However, they hit the road
for a tedious four game slate over
the weekend against Iowa State
and Colorado.
Southpaw Fran Hofmaier re
ceived the starting nod from Coach
Tony Sharpe for the first battle.
The Crofton hurler stands 4-0 for
the season and sports a nifty 0.98
earned run average. Mizzou is ex
pected to throw their ace Norm
Stewart, who piloted them to the
national title in the College World
Series.
After dropping two struggles to
Oklahoma in extra innings, the Ti
gers seemed to have gotten back
in stride. They walloped Kansas
State Monday and Tuesday to
show signs of their old form.
Changed Lineup
An altered battling lineup might
do the trick for the Cornhuskers
against the Missourians. Dirkes

shifted to the number two spot.
Then comes the Husker power
with Don Brown, slugging third
sacker at .492 next, and Bill Giles
batting .459 at cleanup.
Dick Olson will follow Giles and
behind him will come Jim Ceder
dahl, Murray Backus and Willi
Greenlaw. Greenlaw will roam the
left field pasture today and will
probably take the mound tomor
row. So the Huskers must take both
ends of this double skirmish to
stay eligible for the top rung in
the conference. Besides Oklahoma
and Missouri, Iowa State looms as
a darkhorse as they stand 5-2 for
the year and are mathematically
deadlocked for second place.
