Meets
Coaches,
Athletes in Spor
By FRED LaBOUR
The Big Ten's investigation of
apparent conference rule violations
by Michigan athletes and coaches
will continue at least until the end
Sof this week, Assistant Commis-
sioner and Examiner John Dewey
said last night.
Dewey disclosed that he has
spent the last few days interview-
ing Ann Arbor businessmen as well
as athletes and coaches.
"We're talking to many of the
people mentioned in The Daily ar-
ticle which made the allegations
concerning the violations," said
Dewey. "I'll be here all this week."
Working alongside Dewey have
been Bert Katzenmeyer, assistant
athletic director, and an ad hoc
committee appointed last Friday
by the Board in Control of Inter-,
collegiate Athletics. The commit-
tee, chaired by Prof. of mathe-
matics Edward Halpern, is com-
posed of the nine faculty members
of the Board. According to Hal-
pern, the committee is attempting
to come up with its own evaluation
of evidence and its own conclu-!
sions.!
"We plan to coordinate inter-
viewing efforts with the Big Ten
and the NCAA if they become in-
volved in this," Halpern said.,
"This way these people won't have
to sit through several interviews
of the same type."
Dewey said he will definitely be
going to Michigan State University
soon to investigate the validity of
other apparent conference viola-
tions as reported in The Daily.
"We'll have to determine if there
ts Probe
were violations in these particular
Michigan State situations," Dewey
|said.
One Ann Arbor businessman, G.
H. Hoag, manager of the Michigan
Theatre, has denied statements at-
tributed to him by The Daily. In
a story which appeared in last
Friday's edition, The Daily quoted
Hoag as saying he distributed 3,000.
free passes a year to atlhetes.
Hoag later told the Chicago
Daily News that he didn't know4
"where they (The Daily) got that
figure. I've been in this business
for 48 years and I haven't given
out 3,000 tickets in all that time."
"Why," Hoag continued, "I also
give tickets to the wonderful
Michigan marching band, and to
the Glee Club, and hell. even to
the staff of the Michigan Daily."
Philip Duey, director of the
Men's Glee Club said this week
that the only time they had re-
ceived free tickets was about 15
Syearsago after they donated a
concert to the memory of a de-
ceased quarterback. "We all were
invited to go free for taking part
in the performance," Duey said.'
Jim Lunsden, student business
manager of the Glee Club said, "I
have no knowledge whatsoever of
members of the Glee Club ever re-
ceiving any free theatre passes."
Band Director William D. Re-:
velli also said this week that "In
some years we have been invited
to one movie during the first week,
of school but usually not too many
of the bandsmen attended. I don't
think any of us have gone in the
last two years."
When Hoag was reached fort
t comment he said "I believe it
would be best not to be mis-l
quoted anymore."
