Free vacations, clothing and

an assistant coach was charged
with using an alias in at least
two recruiting efforts. He was
later dismissed, the council
said. Five of the violations

Gil said.
No names were mentioned in
the list of charges.
No Appeal Possible
Wells said the university does
not agree with the Council
findings but has no recourse OF
appeal. He said the school is
taking steps to safeguard the
athletic staff from any shadow
Of possible violation of regula-
tionS.
Athletic Director Frank Allen
said at least part of the blame
should go to the more than
100000 living alumni" foI
