REPORT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE Reported for Information 1. Recommendations of the Honors Committee. Acting Chairman Zie- barth presented a report, for information, on names being proposed to the Regents for certain University buildings, and presented for approval 13 nominations for the Outstanding Achievement Award, which were approved by common consent. 2. Report on New Faculty Orientation-Reception. Mr. Nunn reported that invitations to the September 25 event had been sent to new faculty members, deans, and department heads, and that the format would be similar to that of previous years. Dean Briggs raised the question about inclusion of Morris, and it was agreed that orientation is best handled separately on the individual campuses; that visits by central administration are being planned on several occasions during the year. 3. Military Deferment of Graduate Students. Mr. Boddy referred the committee to letters which he had directed to deans, directors, department chairmen, directors of graduate studies, and members of the graduate facul- ties concerning a recent Presidential Executive Order on the draft status of post-baccalaureate students in graduate or professional schools. The order stipulates that the current classification of each such student must be de- termined officially and reported centrally before October I, 1967. He said that the departments were being asked to review immediately the status of every old and new post-baccalaureate student and report accordingly to the Graduate School with a copy to the recorder by September 25. 3-Senate Docket-12660 VII.

The general purpose of this effort will be to strengthen the effectiveness of faculty committee operations at a time of rapid University change. The more specific purposes of the study, as viewed at this time, are: 1. To establish procedures by which the separate faculties of the several units or campuses of the University may deal with prob- lems relevant to a single campus, and the total faculty may deal with all-University problems. 2. To clarify responsibilities of all Senate committees and related com- mittees, and to centralize documentation of these responsibilities. 3. To establish a system which clearly defines the practical relationship of one committee to another and which provides for orderly referral of relevant considerations to the faculty Senate. 4. To establish procedures for joint Senate-Administration creation and appointment of ad hoc subcommittees or task forces which may be used for intensive study of particular problems, and to provide for the report of these committees to the Senate through clearly estab- lished channels. 5. To make provisions for office support for the standing committees of the Senate. 6. To provide a definite mechanism for reviewin~t work of all faculty committees and setting of the agenda for Senate meetings. 7. To establish a clear system of appointments, terms of service, and policies regarding rotation and replacement for committee service. The Committee on Committees will appreciate suggestions and ideas from the faculty concerning problems and ways of strengthening committee structure and functions. Maynard C. Reynolds Vill. REPORT OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS 1. Reported for Action Changes in Conference Legislation under the White Resolution Procedure The White Resolution procedure is a device used by the Big Ten Conference to insure that substantive changes in Conference legislation are subject to institutional review. The chainnan of the Conference rules in each case, subject to challenge and vote by the faculty representative, whether or not a proposed change in Conference legislation comes under the White Resolution procedure; if it does, the adopted change must be submitted to each member institution for review before it becomes effec- tive. If any member IDes a vote of rejection within a specified time the matter must be voted upon again for final disposition. Under instructions of this Senate of February 4, 1960, your committee is submitting, with its recommendations, for action by the Senate all matters which are under the White Resolution procedure. At the May 1967 meeting of the Conference the following actions were taken under the White Resolu- tion procedure: 1. Prohibition Against Televising SeU-out Football Games. By an in- stitutional vote of 6:4 the Joint Group (faculty representatives and di- rectors of athletics) approved a recommendation which the directors of athletics had adopted 7:3 in March 1967 "to prohibit the televising of 'sell-out' football games, notwithstanding provisions for such telecasts in the NCAA television plan." Minnesota voted "No" on both occasions. The same issue was before the Conference 1 year earlier; prohibition had been approved by the Joint Group in May 1966. Minnesota (Minutes of University Senate, November 3, 1966, page 16) and Michigan State University IDed votes of rejection under the White Resolution procedure. In December 1966 the Joint Group, by an institutional vote of 5:5, failed to reaffirm its earlier vote for prohibition of televising sell-out football games. Since then there have been no substantial developments which would justify a change in Minnesota's previous attitude. RECOMMENDATION: That the University IDe again a vote of re- jection of a Conference policy which establishes restrictions on televising sell-out football games over an educational TV station. 2. Amendment of Regulation VIII Pertaining to Recruiting. By a un- animous institutional vote the Joint Group approved amendments of Re~tulation VIII indicated below. This action is subject to the White Resolu- tion procedure. In general, the amendments represent the removal of some restrictions in our present Big Ten regulation and an approach toward the more per- missive attitude of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Under the present Conference rules the representatives of our member institutions are subject to restraints which are not imposed on other institutions in their contacts with prospective student-athletes, their parents, and coaches. By conscientious adherence to our rules our representatives have often been placed in embarrassing or untenable positions with respect to civility in their contacts with various people. They have been accused of lack of interest and initiative when their actions were actually governed by our rules. The proposed amendments will provide relief in this respect by eliminating some restrictions which were found to be unrealistic and un- necessary. To afford the Senate the opportunity to review the adopted amend- ments in proper perspective, the whole Regulation VIII as amended (dele- tions in brackets, additions underlined) follows: REGULATION VIII. RECRUITING Section 1. Statement of Policy and Definitions a. It is the policy of this Conference to establish institutional responsibility for and control over the recrlliting of prospective students who are athletes. All efforts by employees of a Conference university and all expenditures of funds to induce any athlete to enroll as a student shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Regu- lation. Any effort by an employee o£ a Conference university to induce any athlete to enroll as a student and any expenditure for that purpose which is not clearly ap- proved in these provisions shall not be permissible. Any fund for recruiting shall be deposited with [and shall be under the control of) the member university. The member institution shall be exclusively and entirely responsible for the manner in which it ex- pends the funds. b. For the purposes of this Regulation, (I) An alumnus or other friend of a member university who is requested by a member of the athletic staff to recruit an athlete, or whose recruitment of an athlete is with the knowledge of a member of the athletic staff, shall be considered a "repre- sentative of the athletic interests" of the university. (2) The term uparentsu includes those persons upon whom an athlete is naturally or legally dependent for support. (3) The terms uathlete., and "prospective athlete" mean a prospective student who may be expected to become a candidate for an intercollegiate athletic team. (4) Any money or resources provided by an individual for expenditure or dis- bursement by others for purposes of recruiting, any resources pooled by two or more persons for such purposes, and any company resources used for such purposes, shall constitute a "fund." PERMISSIBLE PRACTICES Section 2. Communication With Prospective Athletes Subject to the provisions of Rule 7, Section 4b(l) with respect to communication in the period between issuance and acceptance of a tender of financial assistance, employees of a Conference university who are acting as representatives of its athletic interests may communicate with an athlete and members of his immediate family and discuss matters concerning his enrollment at the university [only]: a. by letter or telegram; b. by telephone to his residence; c. by personal interview on the campus; d. by personal interview in the prospective athlete's school in accordance with Section 6a; [d] e. by personal interview elsewhere [after the prospective student has accepted a tender 0£ financial assistance under Rule 7]; provided, that incidental to this inter- view the employee may provide no [meals:] entertainment, gifts, or tangible induce- ments not authorized by Rule 7 to the prospective student7 his relatives, his coach or other friends [:) and that meals may be provided the prospective athlete and those accompanying him only on the occasion of an interview in the prospective athlete's home-town area.

Reasonable expemes for meals [and necessary lodging] enroute may be included as travel e:xpense and may be provided the prospective athlete, but not to those accompanying him; however, if several prospective athletes travel together in a private conveyance, the univenity may pay the transportation expense of one of them and meals [and lodging] enroute for each, and this shall count as a paid visit for each of the prospective athletes who make the trip. b. Other visits to the campus may be made at any time by a prospective athlete, at his own expense. c. Any person (other than an employee of a Conference member who is acting as representative of its athletic interests) may pay the costs of a prospective athlete visit- ing the campus of a Conference member, provided he does so from his own personal resources and he accompanies the prospective athlete on that trip. However, such a person may not pay the commercial transportation costs of a visit to the campus by a prospective athlete's parents. d. On the occasion of one, but not more than one, of the visits specified in sub- sections a. b. and c above. a university employee or representative may meet the prospective athlete at the airport or station nearest and most convenient to the campus. On the occasion of one, but not more than one, of the visits specified in sub-sections a, b, and c above, the Wiiversity may provide a prospective athlete and those accom- panying him meals and lodging for not more than two days and two nights (a period of 48 hours). e. On any visit other than that for which meals and lodging are provided in accordance with the preceding subsection, the university may provide the prospective athlete and those accompanying him with meals during one day. f. Whenever meals or lodging are provided by the university to a prospective athlete or those accompanying him on the occasion of a campus visit, they shall be provided at a campus facility or at the nearest suitable facilities in the area adjacent to the principal campus. g.

Re- instatement of his eligibility may be authorized by action of the Faculty Representa- tives. RECOMMENDATION: That the amendments of Regulation VIII in- dicated above be approved. 3. Deletion of Eligibility Rule 1, Section 4(b) Pertaining to Certain Courses. The faculty representatives voted 9:1 (Minnesota voting for de- letion) to delete this rule which provides that (b) If a student is pursuing a degree program in which be receives academic credit for courses in health, physical education or recreation other than those required gen- erally for male students, he shall not be eligible unless he shall have carried in h1.s previous semester or quarter and be carrying at least 11 hours of work in courses which are primarily scholastic in nature and which are credited towards his degree. Courses which are designed primarily to develop physical slcill or proficiency in the performance of games or athletic or recreational activities, which shall be so designated by the institution, shall not he deemed primarily scholastic in nature and shall not be included in the 11 hours specified in the preceding sentence. For many years Minnesota has objected to the principle embodied in this rule and worked toward its elimination. It is highly discriminatory against students who, without suspecting the consequences, registered as freshmen for 1 credit in physical education or recreational activity. Through- out the remainder of their attendance they were forced to arrange their pro- gram of courses so that they were in compliance, even during periods when they were not participating in intercollegiate athletics. Moreover, the designation of courses which "shall not be deemed primarily scholastic in nature" has led to arbitrary, institutional decisions, the validity of which is debatable in some cases. RECOMMENDATION: That elimination of Rule 1, Section 4(b) from the Rules of Eligibility be approved. 2. Reported for Information A. Deletion of Eligibility Rule 2, Section 5 Pertaining to Transfer Students The faculty representatives voted unanimously to delete from Rule 2 the following Section 5: Student Transferring with DelinquenCfl. If a student leaves an institution of college grade when be is delinquent in any of his studies-i.e., with an unremoved failure on his record-or is not in good standing for other than scholastic reasons, and if he thereafter enters a Conference university while still delinquent or not otherwise in good standing, he shall be ineligible during the two calendar years following his matriculation and two college years of residence therein. However, a student who bas previously attended more than one institution of college grade may become eligible at the end of one calendar year at a Conference University providing he trans- fers to the Conference University in good standing and is free from delinquencies at the institution most recently attended and, has been enrolled for one college year at that institution. Should he compete in violation of the foregoing provision he shall continue to be ineligible until he has been in residence for a total of two college years during which he has not participated in intercollegiate athletics. The number of students affected by this section of Rule 5 during the past 5 years has been very small, only one at Minnesota. In all member in- stitutions the requirements for admission have become higher during the recent years so that this rule has become essentially obsolete. All member institutions have adequate safeguards against the admission of transfer stu- dents with poor scholastic records and promise. We believe that these safe- guards will be implemented. Elimination of this rule could be misinterpreted as reflecting a lowering of academic prerequisites for eligibility. This action of the Conference is 5-Senate Docket-12660 therefore reported for information so that in the event there are objections these can be filed with the Conference and thereby a reconsideration of th~ matter can be forced. Your committee does not recommend such action however. ' B. Statistics on Intercollegiate Athletics, 1967-68 !l ..
