NCAA Matter

The President reported that the Sanity Code had been defeated at the Dallas meeting by only
three votes, the majority of the opposition being the "Big Ten" and western conferences. The President
stated that there were two matters to be settled concerning athletics which should be referred
to an appropriate committee for study: (1) what aid we are going to grant to athletes; and (2) the
advisability of the University's rejoining the Southern Conference.
