Study show's athletes on par academically FACULTY from Page 1 all athletes,” a recent NCAA report stales. The committee also compared the number of athletes failing or on aca demic probation to the rest of the student body. The number of athletes making “unsatisfactory progress” was iu percent nigner. The committee concluded in its report that the higher percentage was “tolerable” because of extra de mands pul on athletes. In order to assure that athletes make satisfactory progress toward their majors while participating in sports, the committee sent letters to all student-athletes, requiring that they gel approval of their class sched ule by an academic adviser before registering for classes. Horner said the committee tries to discourage athletes from dropping out in order to participate in profes sional sports before they graduate. Horner said members of the com mittee had asked the Association of Students of the University of Ne braska to appoint two athletes to the committee. There are none now, he said. AS UN appointed two athletes, but no one has shown up to meetings, he said.
