'Alumni Paid Tutors, For Football Players By JOEL BLOCK and HOWARD KOHN Jeremiah Ford II, who was fired yesterday from his post as athletic director of the University of Pennsylvania, told The Daily last night that a supplementary athletic fund has been "used illegally to pay for the tutoring of Penn foot- ball players." Dr. Harry Fields, assistant to the president for athletic affairs, explained the firing as "a move to change the image of Penn athletics." Ford, however, charged that his dismissal had been pre- cipitated by his opposition to the handling of the supplemen- tary'fund. According to Ford, alumni contributions were given to William M.

President Clyde F. Lane said negotiators for the railroads had threatened to withdraw the union's health and welfare benefits unless it accepts the management's offer on a wage raise. A spokesman said that, if the members go out, 60 to 70 Class I railroads would be affected. PANHELLENIC PRESIDENT Ginny Mochel, '68, announced her support of the elimination of sophomore women's hours at the Panhellenic President's Council meeting last night. She said that "learning to take the responsibiilty for decid- ink when to come in is a part of the learning process and I think it is a responsibility sophomore women will take." Miss Mochel's statement differs from the position Panhel took last fall that sophomore women's hours should be extended on weekends, but not eliminated. THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION yesterday approved a plan to stimulate interest in teaching of underprivileged children. The board agreed to increase the terms of the "forgiveness clause" of the National Defense Education Act loan program. Under the new plan, teachers who will work in schools which have more than the state average of underprivileged stufents are allowed a 15 per cent reduction of the principal of loans used to finance their education, the reduction starting the year after graduation, The reduction of the loan principal will continue past the former limit of 50 per cent of the loan's value. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN'S Madison campus voted in a recent referendum for "phase withdrawal" of American troops from South Vietnam as a pre-condition for negotiations.

'NEVER ACTS ON INSTINCT': In other action last night, the Graduate Assembly requested that the board in Control of Intercol- 'e:iate Athletics establish a newr ticket priority system boosting priorities for graduate students.! The Assembly asked that stu- dents who have worked their way through priority systems for foot- ball tickets at their undergraduate schoois be allowed to carry this; over to grad school. First year grad students who are new to the University currently have the same priority as freshmen. They, requested that first year grads and junior undergrads be given a free priority, that second year grads and seniors be given a four:priority and that three year rads and up be given a new five1 priority. They also released a survey of graduate student opinion on for- eign language requirements. The survey will be presented with rec- ommendations on language re- quirements to the executive board Wednesday, according to spokes- Fleming Stays Cool in Crisis U . Wisconsin Students Say Soph Hours* Elimination Anticipated, By MICHAEL HEFFER City Editor Sophomore women's hours will be eliminated next fall informed sources said yesterday. Student Government Council last Thursday recommended that such action be taken, and sent their recommendation to Vice- President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler. Cutler will meet this morning with Bruce Kahn, '68, President of SGC. Cutler is expected to approve the recommendation, but when contacted yesterday, refused to. confirm or deny that he has al- ready made a decision. If his decision is , favorable, sophomore hours will be lifted un- less the Regents veto the change. Cutler has said that a decsision on changes in sophomore hours will probably come before April 15. He has noted that he might make only minor changes, Cutler has explained that he is reaching his decision by talking to assistant deans, residence hall s t a f f, professional colleagues, sophomore women, and has done so to help him reach a decision. By URBAN LEHNER Most University of Wiscor.sin students regard Robben Wright Fleming, recently elected successor to University President f-arlan Hatcher, as an "honest broker., "Fleming is very conscious of hearing all points of view," ac- cording to Gary Zweifel, president of the,Wisconsin Student Associa- tion. "He has consistently been a strong supporter of student gov- ernment," he said. "I have always found Fleming to be understanding, knowledge- able about the issues, and insight- ful," Zweifel said. "Fleming told them 'nothing do- ing'." Wisconsin has had two ma.or demonstration crises in the past 11 months. The second came in May when the local SDS chapter's picket of Dow Chemical Co.': re- cruiting tables brought arrests. Fleming personally put up bond for 11 arrested students. In reaction to the Dow crisis, an ad-hoc group calling itself the No-Berkeley-Here C o m m i t t e e sprung up. Its members felt that students should be allowed to protest peacefully but not break the law or obstruct other students. Steve Fielz, chairman of the No- Berkeley-Here Committee felt that Fleming's handling of the incident university budget because of outbreak of student disorder. the I Fleming had maintained througout the crisis that students did have a right to be interviewed, by any firm - including those making Vietnam supplies. Fleming had also told students on several occasions that he "didn't think any student should be jailed." A student who described himself as "one of the few anarchists on campus" called Fleming "a mealy- mouthed, double-talking adminis- trator, like most administrators." A visiting student from the Uni- versity of Wisconsin said, "I don't know anybody who doesn't like him. He's horribly impressive." I ing to $6000 or $7000-in the "Jefferson Davis Fund," Football Coach Bob Odell then allegedly requisitioned money from the fund for incidental football expenses. Fields allegedly approv- ed the requisitions. Disputes Claim Ford claimed that, "although the money was usually used for addi- tional helmets, footballs and coaches' trips to football clinics (all within the limits of NCAA, rules), it has come to my atten- tion that it was also being allotted for tutoring of football players." Requisition of money for ath- letes' tutors is in violation of Ivy League and NCAA regulations. "When I found out, I investi- gated and learned that Fields had okayed the money for the tutors." Fields and Hannah flatly re- futed Ford's charges "If he says that we've been doing anything illegal, he's ab- solutely crazy," stated Fields. "This is absolutely a lie. I don't know where he gets this stuff, but it's definitely untrue." Never Heard of It "I've never heard of the fund," Hannah said. Fields, in a contradictory coun- ter-charge, added that Ford "was the one who's done all the signing of checks from the fund. He's okayed every cent that has come out of the fund." Football coach Odell, however, supported Ford's charges, "I know we paid for a player's tutoring. "It happened two years ago when I was first appointed head coach. It was a nominal payment and I didn't realize it was Illegal,, but ignorance is no excuse. "To my knowledge, it hasn't happened since then," he con- cluded. No Comment Penn President Gaylord Hard- well could not be reached for comment last night. Ford also charged "I was fired as a scapagoat for Penn's athletic isfot tunes in the past few years and be-.u,-e I opposed to the tuxt- oring payments. "I'm not very popular with the alumni and someone has to suffer for our football losses," he added. Fields rartially agreed, "'ord was an excellent administrator. !!AC%11.
