VIRGINIA RATES STUDENTS EQUAL LYNCHBURG, Va., Dec. 15.—UP)— The University of Virginia lifted the bars today on alumni'recruiting and outside financial assistance to athletes who meet that institution’s scholastic requirements. Captain Norton Pritchett, athle tic director, said that to promote "honesty in athletics” it will make no difference to the university if a boy Is sent there primarily or solely for his athletic ability, as long as he can meet standards now being drafted by the school. The state university, founded by Thomas Jefferson and long conser vative In Its policies, withdrew from the Southern conference last Fri day because of regulations which the school said breeded "suspicion, distrust and mutual recriminations.” A statement issued by Captain Pritchett after an alumni chapter meeting here last night was the first indication as to what the univer sity’s new policy would be. The university proposes, Prit chet said, to place all students on an equal status and treat them ac cordingly. The university’s plans have not been completed, Pritchett said, but he added that athletic pledges will be modified. The Southern conference Graham plan set up regulations by which faculty committees controlled both outside and inside aid to athletes. Under the substitution plan adopted last Friday night at the annual con ference session, the committees will check on whether students are being assisted "primarily” because they are athletes. If so, they are not eli gimbles for conference teams.
