Big Ten Talks
OF Money Aid
For Athletes

CHICAGO, Aug. 4 (P.-A
special committee proposed to-
day that the Big Ten Conference
standardize its code and give
athletes lin need" financial as
SiStance.
The committee proposed that
in addition to financial assistance
which might be made avail
able to athletes on basis of
superior NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. be
permitted to assist athletes
further on the basis of their
financial need.
On such basis, the commit
tee said, the school could award
aid up to the amount of tuition
and fees-room, board and books.
A conference official explained
that a student receiving a
scholarship for a certain amount
who also participates in athletics
can receive additional aid ac-
cording to his need, However, a
student on a scholarship can
not receive athletic aid if his
scholarship covers all his needs.
The group, appointed last De-
cember to make a study of cur
rent policies and practices in
the conference. was particularly
critical of what was termed the
"offer system" in the field of
athletics. This method implies
the active recruitment of pro-
spective athletes and promises
of financial aid opportunities.
K. L. (Tug) Wilson, commits
sioner Of the Big Ten, described
the report as a critical self
appraisal" Of athletic practices
at Big Ten schools.
Wilson said the report did
not seek to point out or expose
violations of existing rules" and
made no such charges.
Rather. he said. the report
sought to emphasize that under
the operation of the "offer sys-
tenn competitive situations are
created which cause pressure TO
evade and escape restrictions Of
the rules.
The committee said any opera
toin Of the offer system should
be more definitely and posi-
lively circumscribed. as by its
Standardization"
The alternative. according 10
the report. would result in dis
credit Of the intercollegiate ath-
letic program in the Big Ten as
inconsistent with the educa-
ltional purposes OF It's members.
