Freshmen Eligible For Outside
Activities In Second Semester

e

Eligibility rules governing partici-
pation in extra-curricular activities
were announced by the Dean of Stu-
dents' office recently. There is noI
change in the rules as enforced in
previous years.
No freshman in his first semester
of residence may be granted a certifi-
cate of eligibility. He may, however,
be permitted to take part in extra-
curricular activities in his second se-
mester provided he has completed
15 hours of work with at least one
mark of A or B and no mark of less
than C, or at least two and one-half
times as many honor points as hours
and with no mark of E.
Participation in public activity, ac-
cording to the Dean of Students' of-
fice, is service of any kind on a com-
mittee or a publication, or in holding
office or being a candidate for an of-
fice in a class or other student or-
ganization.
In order to participate in extra-
curricular activities, the student must
obtain from the Dean of Students'
office a certificate of eligibility. This

certificate must be presented to the
chairman or manager of each activity
before the student may participate'
in the activity.
This permission to participate in
student activities may be refused
whenever, in the opinion of the Com-
mittee on Student Affairs, or in the
opinion of the dean of the school or
college in which the student is en-
rolled, such participation may be
detrimental to his college work.
Certificates of elegibility for stu-
dents other than freshmen may be
secured if the student has earned at
least 11 hours of academic credit dur-
ing the preceding semester with at
least an average grade of C.
