More Liberal Aid to Athletes Seen for PCC Threat of Withdrawal Of UCLA and USC Seems to Dim t By JACK STEVENSON SAN FRANCISCO UK Liberal ized financial -aid for football play ers and other athletes in the Pa cific Coast Conference - was as sured Monday and the threat of UCLA and Southern California withdrawing dimmed. The powerful Presidents' Coun cil of the nine member schools made recommendations Sunday which also indicated powers grant Id to the commissioner might be reduced. Again the presidents said there would be no lessening ot penal ties against UCLA, Southern Cali fornia. Washington and California that cost a year's eligibility to this year's sophomore and junior players who had accepted illegal aid in the past. Alms at Coaches A recommendation asked dis missal of any coaches involved in future under-the-table deals with athletes. Another would reduce the num ber of conference games required per season from the present seven to five starting in I960.' The round robin calling for each PCC team to play each other annually, with the exception of Idaho, went into effect this year. UCLA and USC favor more games with intcrsec tional foes than the three now al lowed. The executive council of the UCLA Alumni Assn. last week recommended that immediate steps be taken to withdraw UCLA from the PCC. Individual alumni of USC had expressed similar sentiments. Optimistic About Unity Following Sunday's session, President Robert Gordon Sproul of the University of California, council chairman, said the ques tion of withdrawal did not come up officially. "I'm optimistic there will be no withdrawals, " he said. Sproul's authority extends both to the Cali fornia campus at Berkeley and to UCLA. Other PCC members are Wash ington State, Oregon, Stanford, Idaho and Oregon State. The president's recommenda tions will come before a joint meeting of their council and the faculty advisers for athletics who take official conference action. It's cxpccled to be held about Jan. 1 in the Los Angeles area. Ihc proposed aid program would be based on an individual's need, taking into consideration his resources and those of his fam-j ily. Must Determine Needs Under the new proposal an ath lete can receive a tuition grant-in-aid as under the present rules. His needs in regard to board, room, books and laundry would be determined by an independent agency. During the off season he would have an on-campus job at pre vailing rates which would allow him to contribute to his require- , sport he would be required to work only a minimum of four hours weekly. Off campus work i would not be allowed for those in grant-in-aid programs covering more than tuition. .Mutt Report Aid J. Schools and individual athletes, would be required to submit re-j ports of aid and also of grades in academic subjects. The presidents , proposed the alhlctes maintain a' i virtual C average, i The reports would he available on a confidential basis to other! : conference schools. In the light of! I this requirement of reports, the j president recommended "the role iol the commissioner be exam-i I ined."
