NCAA REGULATIONS

A mimeographed report prepared by Captain Pritchett on the NCAA Regulations with a proposed
statement to be submitted by the University was distributed to the members of the Board.
After discussion of this document and other related problems, a resolution was adopted requesting
the Athletics Committee to prepare a proposed amendment to the NCAA Code which would authorize
scholarships sufficient in amount to cover room, board, tuition and fees, and books for each recipient.

The Athletic Committee was requested to prepare the University's case for submission to
the NCAA meeting in January, and to join with the President in attending this meeting. A further
resolution was adopted requesting the Athletic Committee to associate with it Captain Pritchett,
Mr. Nicholas P. Wilson, and Mr. Gus Tebell. The Board requested this group to visit other institutions
in this section of the United States and ascertain whether or not they would support an
amendment to the NCAA Constitution, enlarging the scope of the scholarships authorized to include
room, board, tuition and fees, and books

President Darden stated that he would be leaving for India about the first of December
and would be unable to assist the committee in the preparation of the University's case, but he
would join them in New York upon his return and assist in every way possible in presenting the
matter to the NCAA meeting
