Win*- STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1933 STUDENT LEADERS PROPOSE REVISION OF ATHLETIC CODE Group Would Remove Eligibility Restrictions Contained in Present Regulations BEZDEK DISCUSSES PLAN AT MEETING ON SUNDAY Officials Will Offer Proposition . To Popular College Vote After Vacation Complete revision of athletic eligi bility was proposed by student leaders following a- discussion held Sunday morning. Director Hugo’ Bczdek, of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, addressed the group on the advisability of the plan. On the eve of spring varsity sports openers, the plan would remove eligi bility restrictions contained in the present regulations: According to present ruling, a student who has spent four years in college, regard less of whether or not they were spent here, is automatically ineligible for athletic competition. Four-Semester Ruling Sought Under the proposed plan, a student who has completed four entire sea sons of a sport or sports here be comes ineligible. Thus a year's ab sence from school would necessitate missing one season of a varsity sport, but would not subtract from the al lowed number of seasons. Following, discussion of the sug gested change, John L. McAndrews ’33, boxing captain, and head of Parmi Nous, upperclass honorary society, moved that the plan be submitted to a student \ote following the Easter vacation.

A. presented the final resolu tion before the group, while Walter C. Moser '33, A. A. head, introduced problems to be encountered whether the present system is continued, or the suggested one is adopted.
