We’re going to have problems. If we didn’t have problems, I wouldn’t have a job. But we want to minimize those E roblems and we want our prob- ;ms to be, ‘Can we make a C or can we make a B’ as opposed to going the other direction.” During the fall semester, all freshman athletes and upper classmen with GPRs below 2.0 were required to attend study halls twice a week. About 100 athletes took part in this, with freshmen attending study halls on Tuesdays and Thursdays and upperclassmen attending on Sundays and Wednesdays. This semester, however, only athletes with GPRs below 2.0 are required to attend study halls. Hunt said 47 scholarship athletes (out of 200) currently are taking part in study halls. Sherrill’s mandatory class attendance policy, which began in the fall for all athletes, also is required now for athletes with below-2.0 GPRs. Hunt said the athletic tutor ing program, which costs about $40,000 each academic year, makes available more than 100 tutors in the areas of chemistry, biology, history, political scien ce, sociology and mathematics. The tutors include undergradu ates, graduates and instructors. ‘soas, omly 2k, ear ues AGf^T CAREER,T&MK. AkJPTiAERQ ARE LPTS Of ££Kl9AaiCK\AL FtAYER^J $>TiLL OW IMG 1C3UR: KA c £MEDE NOU/!
