Big Six And NCAA Troubles May Be Settled At Meeting
The conflict of existing Big Six rules against proposed NCAA rules will be thrashed out at the meeting of Big Six representatives at Lincoln, Friday and Saturday.
At present the Big Six rules allow University personnel to talk to prospective athletes off the campus. They also allow schools to aid athletes in getting campus jobs. $ \textcircled{+} $
Under the proposed NCAA rules, coaches and other University personnel would be prohibited from talking to prospective athletes. They would also define athletic scholarships as "any aid" to the athlete.
W. W. Davis, the University's Big Six representative, said, "I see no reason why we should not aid athletes. We approve an activity that takes three hours a day five days a week, plus most of the week-ends.
"I'ts almost impossible to support yourself with a schedule like that. Yet they would rule against giving the athlete anything in return for his effort.
"I feel the whole thing isn't square. Don't hang a double indemnity on the athlete."
He added that one or two other Big Six schools feel the same way. Tried Before—'A Farce'
"Every conference has rules it can't enforce." Professor Davis said. "This rule forbidding any talk to prospective athletes off the campus was followed in the Big Six 10 years ago. It was rescinded three years ago, because it was a farce."
If the NCAA rules are adopted by the Big Six, it would be illegal for the University to talk to any high school athlete off the campus or to get him a job when he comes here.
The Southwestern and Southeastern conferences are in greater disagreement with the NCAA than is the Big Six.
For example, The Southwestern conference allows members to pay board, room, tuition, fees, books laundry, and $10 a month. A similar rule holds in the Southwest conference.
Could Expel Both Schools .
Professor Davis said that Notre Dame would be affected by the proposed change. The Irish have 48 athletic scholarships that would be made illegal.
The NCAA code says if you play a school that is violating NCAA rules, you will be expelled, even thought your record is clean.
The Ivy league, Big Nine, and Pacific Coast league are backing the proposed NCAA "illy white" rules.
If the Big Six went along with the NCAA and the southern conferences refused to ratify, no Big Six member could compete with a southern conference school.
"It could mean no more intersectional games between major schools of the North and South," Professor Davis said.
He said the Big Six will probably make no definite decision until the next meeting in December.
"The question of admittance of Oklahoma A & M may come up at this meeting," Professor Davis said. He declined further comment on the Aggie question.
Regents To Decide Faculty Pay Friday
Faculty salaries, appointments, and promotions will be determined by the Board of Regents when it meets at Manhattan tomorrow and Friday. This includes salaries for both the University of Kansas and Kansas State college.
The last session of the Kansas legislature appropriated $1,793,700 for salaries in the regular session at Lawrence and $55,000 for the summer session. But this amount available for salaries will be increased by incidental and matriculation fees, extension division, private music lessons, and many other sources.
In the last fiscal year the University spent $2,500,000 for all salaries including such expenses as Corbin Hall.
