The regents in their meeting Friday, however, agreed that the conference s Council of Presidents was the proper agen cy to evaluate the situation and make what provisions necessary in the PCC code governing aid to athletes. The meeting had been expect ed to turn into an explosive ses sion but the regents decided to take a "hands off" attitude after accepting a report of the situa tion by President Robert Gor don Sproul of the University of California, a unit of UCLA. The regents agreed that the proper approach was being taken to wards the problem. Coaches Praised Gov. Goodwin J. Knight pre sided over the meeting and praised the group's attitude to wards the problem. The gover nor declared, "If it weren't for the Waldorfs and Sanders we couldn't afford other sports." Lynn Waldorf is football coach at California and Henry (Red) Sanders is coach afUCLA. Although going along with Sproul's report, a few of the regents voiced the opinion that the PCC acted before all the facts were known and also be lieved the penalties against the' athlets were too harsh. Pauley Comments The conference recently fined UCLA $95,000 and penalized its football team a year's eligibility because members of the team al legedly received illegal outside financial aid.

At a press conference after the regent's meeting, Knight said he expected the entire situ ation as it affected California state universities would be re viewed and cleared up by Sept. 1. Sproul refused to comment on the possibility that a forth coming meeting of the college presidents and athletic repre sentatives might result in eas ing the penalties against UCLA.
