...League's frequently expressed objection to the rule's references to "student-athletes," on the grounds that there is no distinction between athletes and other students in the Ivies, is petty and irrelevent. After all, the NCAA is an athletic association and can concern itself only with athletes. The intent of the NCAA is pure enough; it merely wants to prod the academic stragglers among its members. And being a national body, the NCAA has no way to accomplish this goal except through blanket legislation for all its members...

Several years ago, the Ivies were instrumental in the narrow defeat of a proposal in the NCAA to remove a year of eligibility from a student who signs a letter of intent to attend one college and then changes his mind. Ivy threats of participation in AAU meets last year during the NCAA-AAU dispute led to Congressional arbitration.

Curry as city manager, but to reaffirm the administration of the Crane-Curry era. Crane, in short, has become combattant because he reads both conspiracy and challenge into the manager's dismissal...
...Meredith Wilson, 56, Minnesota. A warm man with a dry humor and an analytic mind, he is an ideal moderator who manages to shape meetings toward his own preconceived intent, yet with a democratic touch. He is chairman of the Institute of International Education and National Advisory Council on Education of Disadvantaged Children. He is a former history professor who was a Ford Foundation official and president of the University of Oregon before going to Minnesota...
