the Council with the facts which were in our possession. But, since the Council had a great deal of information which is known only to them, a successful defense of the Kansas' side is almost impossible."
LONBORG EMPHASIZED that no authority of the University has been held responsible or accused of the actions which have placed KU on probation. He felt others, namely alumni and other interested parties, were directly responsible.
ONE OF THE POINTS the Council felt important was the trij which football player Bert Coan took to Chicago two years ago with "a person who held the interests of Kansas at heart."
Lonbong felt this example was invalid. Coan was flown to the All-Star Football Game by Bud Adams of Houston. This flight was considered to be part of a recruiting plan to bring Coan here.
"On the return flight to Texas, there was a trustee from Texas Christian University along with Adams and Coan," Lonborg said. Lonborg felt the presence of the TCU official showed there wasn't any intention of recruiting on the trip.

NCAA Cites Violations
The NCAA placed KU on disciplinary probation for a year in 1956 without any post-season penalties The probation was for Dr. F. C (Phog) Allen's recruiting policies Dr. Allen was head basketball coach at KU until he retired five years ago
Last year rumors were that KU was on the NCAA carpet. An Atlanta paper, before the April 27, 1960 meeting of the council, said that the infractions committee had recommended action against KU.
Rumors had it that Coan was the center of the council's case against KU. When Coan transferred to KU from TCU, Dutch Meyer, TCU athletic director, said he would ask the NCAA to investigate the circumstances influencing Coan's decision.
Coan said his decision to transfer involved an argument with the TCU track coach and was not connected with football.
Official NCAA Findings
The official NCAA Executive Council release, as reported by the United Press International from San Francisco yesterday, said in part:
"The council has found the University of Kansas to have violated the principles governing financial aid for the rangelimited movement to provide a year university mobile for a student of the University as an inducement to persuade him to continue his career at the University and subsequently, repairs on said automobile were taken without cost to the athlete. The university does not net the net cost of the automobile was $1,564 after the allowance on the student athlete's previous automobile which was used as a trade-in.
"Inassmuch as the title of the year-old automobile was given to said athlete in late May, 1957, it should be noted that the process of granting a title has been delayed by the retusal of some of the principals in the transaction to make available to the NCAA the records pertaining to the alleged sale and the repair of the athlete's new auto-
"The council has found the University of Kansas to have violated the recruiting provision pertaining to the transfer of student athletes in that the University recruited three student athletes of other members of contacting the NCAA with contacting the athletic director of the other institutions as required by the bylaws.
"...the council found Kansas to have violated the provisions pertaining to excessive entertainment of prospective student athletes in that a representative of the University athletic interests portrayed a ported a institution another NCAA staff member from his Texas residence to Chicago for purposes of viewing an All-Star football game during the summer of 1959, this alumnus being identified as a representative of the athletic interests of the University of Kansas in that he recruited other football players within a week or ten days following the trip, he telephoned one of the University's coaches and arranged for this athlete to visit the University of Kansas."

Mitchell Says Action Unjust
"ETHICALLY THEY were right, but I don't know the real reason or specific incident in which I was implicated.

Coan said he left TCU because he was dissatisfied with it. He said he informed the coach there he was not coming back and also made it known to the press. He said he received many offers from other schools.
"My specific part in the disciplinary action is a mystery to me," he said.
"He lives in Houston and as far as I knew he was not a recruiter for Kansas," Coan said.
Authorities said that Bud Adams, Houston oil man, flew Coan to the All-Star game in Chicago.
Coan said during the summer someone approached him about the trip to Chicago, but not as a KU recruiter.
ADAMS WAS CONTACTED and denied he was ever a football recruiter for KU. He said his interests lie with the University of Houston and Rice Institute and he went to Chicago to look for players for the American Football League
In an interview this morning Coan also said he paid his own expenses to the Chicago game and that a TCU official accompanied him on his return trip to Texas.
Adams said Coan paid his own expenses and he was not trying to recruit Coan for KU.
"WHEN HE LET everyone know that he wasn't going to return to TCU lots of schools were after him. Bert liked our (KU's) track and football program." Hadl said.
John Hadl, Lawrence sophomore and Jayhawk quarterback, spoke on Coan's behalf.
"If he hadn't come here what kind of football team would we have?" Hadl said. "Bert is one of the best liked guys on the team and they have no ill feelings toward him."
ROGER McFARLAND. Fort Worth, Texas, sophomore, came to KU from Texas A&M on a football scholarship the same year Coan came from TCU.
He said he left Texas A&M because he didn't agree with the coaches' ideas. He wrote a letter to the school asking to be released from his scholarship.
MITCHELL CONTACTED McFarland two days after his release was made known and McFarland then made his decision to come to KU.
"I can only say I came to KU with no inducements or promises of anything other than that I could play with a good football team. That was good enough for me," he said.
Doyle Schick, Lawrence senior, said that the University that nothing to be ashamed of.
"The Big Eight conference championship was our primary objective with the hope that we would go to the Orange Bowl," Schick said. "Now we still hope to win the conference but national prestige will be our final goal instead." he said.

Civil Rights Goal Outlined
Nine men and women with the aid of two faculty members drafted a statement of purpose for the Civil Rights Council last night.
Their statement reads: "To work for equal rights for all people through legal nonviolent procedures. To the realization of the above we plan to gather information, make recommendations, publish information and gather funds for furthering our purpose. The council will be concerned with fields such as housing, employment and public accommodations."
To interest people in the group's activities, speakers, forums and movies are planned. Committees were set up to work on each project.
The group determined that its nature in the future will be that of action—picketing when necessary or carrying on negotiations to accomplish their goal. They will work through peaceful protestations.
