RALEIGH (AP) Following is the complete statement of Dr. Carey li. Bostian, State College chancellor, concerning the action of the ACC Conference in the Moreland case: The report of the action taken in the Moreland case by the faculty chairmen of the Atlantic Coa- Conference at their Feb 10 meeting was received by me in yesterday's mail. (Tuesday's) The full text of this report is herewith made public. We are deeply disappointed with the failure of the faculty chairmen to conduct the complete and full investigation in this case, on ell charges, which we had urgently requested them to do. .In response to my request of Jan. 25, I was notified by the com missioner of the Atlantic Coa-t Conference cn Jan. 28 that "the faculty chairmen are of the opinion that no different form of in vestigation should be considered until the results of the investigation now under way have, been determined." On the same day, Jan. 28, I replied to the commissioner and renewed our request that the conference have a complete and open investigation which we felt was necessary to resolve the many con flicts in this cav I said: "Is it possible that the ACC could, on the basis of a closed-door investigation, make findings of fact which would conflict with those already made by ACC and NCAA, without identity of witnesses on which the new findings were based?"' We interpret the report of the conference action on Feb, 10 as revealing these three things: (1) Without the full and complete investigation which we had requested, the conference "reaffirms it- position" with respect to the two charges on which State College had previously been found guilty by the conference. (2) With reference to the other charges, the faculty chairmen, without the full and complete investigation which we had re quested, do not expressly find that State College is guilty nor do they find that State College is guilty on some of the other charges. 3) The faculty chairmen reduce the penalties heretofore assess ed by the commLjioner by cutting the fine of $5,000 in half. (In stamping an implication of greater guilt on the represen tatives of State College, the faculty chairmen do so only on informa tion given to them on a "confidential basis," and this information is now available to officials of State College only "on a confidential basis." In this respect, our conference officials now strangely follow- in the procedural footsteps of the NCAA. To obtain an explanation of this "confidential basL-"' on which the conference would make its information available to us, I telephoned the commissioner and he informed me that Director Clogston and I may go to Greensboro tc see tho conference file on their latest investigation but that the individuals of our staff who are accused of the violations may not go with us so that we can review the file together," giving me an opportunity to question them directly on its content-,-. Further, if Mr. Clogston and I did see the file, it would be on the understand ing that its contents would be revealed to no one except to Presi dent Friday.) It would have been easy for the officilas of this college several months ago to accept the conclusions of the NCAA as to the guilt of the member-- of our staff, and simply ignore the' sworn state ments of denial given to us by those same individuals. Notwith- standing the fact that we may have had the most serious doubts (1) To get all of the facts possible. rcgardlcvi of whether those facts are favorable or not to State College representatives; (2) To confront our staff members with these facts and then to make the administrative decisions which the facts and evidence support and justify. We have not been succesful with either the NCAA or the At lantic Coast Conference in obtaining the full, complete and open invc-.igation which this case has needed from its very beginning. We are now told that "as far as the conference is concerned, the case is closed." I am today writing all of those principal witnesses whose names were given to us by the NCAA. I am asking them to appear in a hearing in this matter in Louisiana on or about Feb. 23 before a committee representing State College, and I am asking them to confront the individuals who have been charged with the viola tions of NCAA and ACC rules. as to whether we were doing right, we could have served up these We are told that "some" cf these witnesses have declined invi- individuals as a sacrificial offering, and marked the case closed. tation of the conference commissioner for such a hearingThose vhS We did not take this easy way out .We continued to try, with in the framework of first the NCAA and then our own conference, to resolve the issues of fact in a just and equitable proceeding vhich would have demonstrated both to the individuals accused and to the public at large that they had had a fair and just hearing. See page 5 for text of report of ACC Faculty Chairman Jim Weaver to State Chancellor Carey H. Bostian. . The administrative officials of this college may. be criticized by some for dragging this matter out orer a period of months." It has been our effort all along to w-ork tinder procedures of both the national ajjn. and our own conference to resolve disputes as to facts, when the very procedures w ith which we were confronted in both organizations served, in the final analysis, to aggravate these disputes rather than to resolve them. ; In the Moreland case, I have at least these two duties as chan cellor of State College: . have declined to so appear will, I hope, reconsider their decision and honor my request. I hope that they will have a decent regard for the efforts of this institution to find the truth. We are frank to say that any -individual who charges another with conduct resulting in penalties against an educational institu tion such as have been assessed against State College should have the courage to come out in the open and tell his or her story. That person should at least have the courage to confront the accused individuals in a fair and impartial hearing. It is also our opnion that procedures of the national assn. and of our own conference which permit, and even promote, the sort of "confidential" testimony which characterizes this case throughout are completely unjustified, and these procedures justly merit our condemnation. When I have fulfilled my duty of doing all that I can reasonably do. in trying to get the full and complete evidence in this case, I will then do my best to make these decisions in the matter that are supported by the facts and evidence made available to me. Such facte and evidence as I finally obtain will not be dealt with on a "confidential basis.'' This statement is made with the full knowledge and approval of President Friday. The committee will propose changes making the Constitution more "flexible," according to Attorney-general Sam Wells. Wells suggested tho committee's creation. Legislators also approved a res olution favoring construction, on a self-liquidating basis, of addi tional housing facilities for mar ried students. Consolidated University Presi dent William Friday announced Tuesday his intention to seek ap proval from the state General As sembly for such a proposal. Other measures acted upon by student representatives were: (1) A bill appropriating $200 "travel expense money" for two students who will swap govern mental ideas at a conference at Sarah Lawrence College; passed. (?) A bill appropriating S220 to defray room rent expenses for a Hungarian exchange student; passed. (3) A resolution urging return of the Consolidated University Student CounciT to its original purpese; tabled indefinitely. (4) A bill establishing a Sum mer Activities Council to provide summer entertainment; passed. (5) A bill establishing a com mittee to accept insurance com pany bids; not reported out of ! committee. According to Attorney-general Wells, th-3 constitutional revisional committee will make the Consti tution more, "fluid" by extracting j specific statutes and leaving only j "general principles."
