ATHLETICS - ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE
President Darden reported on conversations he had held with President Gordon Gray of the
University of North Carolina pursuant to the proposals made to the Board last winter by the
University Senate for an effort to bring about a greater spirit of amateurism in Atlantic Coast
Conference football and other major sports. Mr. Darden said that President Gray favors a shift
from special athletic grants to general scholarships, and has proposed a joint meeting with
President Hollis Edens of Duke University. Mr. Gravatt commented on the advantages of the N.C.A.A.
plan and the hypocrisy of the concealed subsidization that might arise under a system of general
scholarships.
