Commission to
watch sports!
United Press International
Somewhere in America:
— A college athlete of note draws
big pay for a puny student-aid job off
the field.
— Another superjock magically
draws big grades without hitting the
books much.
But if such athletes listen, along
with trustees, presidents and athle
tic directors of schools they attend,
they’ll all hear a whistle.
And so will alumni groups pushing
for the alma mater to aim for super-
star teams.
The American Council of Educa
tion Commission on Collegiate
Athletics is blowing that whistle —
blowing it on unethical goings-on in
college sports, blowing it on what it
thinks is too much money and atten
tion to intercollegiate play.
The Council report, three years in
the making and financed by the Ford
Foundation, has three words for
presidents and trustees of colleges:
Clean up sports.
And it puts down guidelines, not
just for the presidents and trustees,
but also for athletic directors.
The commission abhors intercolle
giate athletic programs that take a lot
of heat — from alumni, administra
tion or whatever— if they don’t put
out winning teams plus make a
profit!
The Council wants collegiate
sports put in its proper place — a
place which the Council defines as
“secondary to education itself. ”
“Athletic programs at American
colleges and universities should be a
part of the total educational prog
ram,” the report said.
“A function of an athletic program
should be to provide for as wide stu
dent participation as possible and to
enhance development through com
petition.”
The council also took up the
“woman issue” in athletics — an
issue addressed by Title IX of federal
education regulations. Title IX calls
for equality between men’s and
women’s sports — even to the
amount of money spent on each.
The council report said school offi
cials, including athletic directors,
should provide “factual evidence” of
equality between men’s and
women’s sports.
Harry A. Marmion, director of the
ACE Commission for the last 12
months, said the guidelines for
school officials are meant to make
more presidents and trustees aware
of the criticisms of college athletics.
He figures if administrators don’t
get involved and clean things up,
there will be scandals — followed by
government involvement in college
athletics and public condemnation.
Capsules of some recommenda
tions from the report:
For Trustees:
— Insist that the athletics program
be conducted in an ethical manner
according to a code of ethics.
— Stress that student athletes be
recruited in a manner that will not
tolerate violations of existing rules
and regulations.
— Insist that collegiate sports
programs are equal in opportunity
for men and women.
For Presidents:
— Must make clear that a prime
function of the athletics program is to
provide for as wide student partici
pation as possible.

Holiday cage schedule
The Texas A&M Basketball
squad will make a go at a 9-4 re
cord as they venture to two more
tournaments before settling
down to the conference cham
pionship race in January.
The first game will be against
North Texas State in the Rebel
Classic in Las Vegas this Friday.
Game time is 9 p. m. CST and will
be broadcast over KTAM-AM
locally with Dewayne Staats pro
viding the play-by-play and
David Walker adding color.
For those who will be in the
confines of their home towns by
the weekend the game will also
be broadcast over the following
Texas radio stations: KPRC-
Houston, WFAA -Dallas,
KMAC-San Antonio, KSIX-
Corpus Christi and KIVY-
Crockett.
A winning effort will find the
Ags in the championship game
against the winner of the Monta-
na-U Nevada-Las Vegas match.
The final game will be broadcast
at 11 p.m. CST Saturday. The
consolation game will be aired
locally at 9 p.m. Saturday should
the Aggies lose.
Before class resumes in Janu
ary the Aggies will have com
pleted three important confer
ence games. First is a Fort Worth
match against TCU on Jan. 3rd.
Two home tilts will follow — Jan.
5 against Baylor and Jan. 8 versus
Texas Tech.
It is important that as many
Aggies as possible attend these
games to support the team in
quest of their third conference ti
tle of the 70 s.
