       President Wethington stated that PR 3B is an action item
concerning Gupport of the Knight Commission principles. The Knight
Commission developed a number of principles to guide university
participation in intercollegiate athletics. The concept of
presidential control over the athletics program and support from
governing boards for the president in exercising that authority and
control is foremost among the principles. He said that it is
important for the Board to take the lead in supporting these
principles.

       He stated that he is very proud of the intercollegiate
athletics program at the University of Kentucky. The University's
program is conducted with academic and athletic integrity and will be
a model for others to follow. It has excellent leadership with
Mr. C. M. Newton, his staff and the fine coaches. He said that Mr.
Newton supports this action by the Board of Trustees because it
signals support for the University's program and for those important
principles to guide the future.

this action. It is a policy of the Board that it have control through
the President not only of the athletic corporation but any of the
subsidiary or ancillary corporations. He, therefore, urged the Board
