:rn-5 1--, .1 3. 4' af me 0 p ass ' no la 1 P House Bill 72 states that if a student does not pass a course for the six weeks, then he cannot participate in any extracurricular ac- tivites for the next six weeks. These extracurricular activities in- clude sports, organizations such as choir and drama, and student government. While some favored this bill, the majority did not, and when ESPN's thirty-minute television show, Scholastic Sports, came to Bell, the show provided an opportunity to make feelings known. Students, teachers, and administrators were in- terviewed and each gave his own opinion about the bill. Although it was brought up that most students at Bell were on the safe side, the bill did affect some students. The teachers pointed out that it was affecting the wrong students, those who took challenging classes and just didn't quite make it, instead of those who didn't try at all and usually weren't involved, anyway. They also pointed out that this bill may have kept some students from taking harder classes because of fear of failing and not being able to participate. The students pointed out that they didn't think it was fair to be kept from participating for failing an elective like typing. They suggested that grades be checked every week after a course was failed for the six weeks, and if a passing grade was maintained for the week they could participate. Although Bell only received about five minutes of air time, the show presented a chance to start talking about the bill and possibly have it changed in the future. l'N by 'WF Above: Head Coach Tim Edwards speaks to the interviewer.
