night promised a three-point program of academic standards for the university division of the middle atlantic conference lehigh is a member of the mac univegrsity division he spoke at a joint meeting of the touchdown clubs of wilmington and newark held at the exec utive club wilmington del he said the univer sity wants to participate in a league either a re vised mac or a new league—that regulates uniform academic and admission standards for all students leckonby's proposed three-point program calls for 1 uniform admission standards including the college entrance examination board tests 2 equalized scholarship grants based only on a student's economic need as recommended by the national college scholarship service 3 parallel requirements of academic eligibility for all students who participate in athletics at mem ber institutions leckonby first indicated interest in regulating academic and admission standards in a speech oct 22 at the weekly meeting of the football writers of new york held in toots shor's restaurant in new york city the former head football coach said last night lehigh university enjoys its association with sev eral members of the mac and wishes to continue these relationships if the conference and its mem bers feel that certain revisions can be accomplished particularly along academic lines and lehigh is willing to assist in this reorganization which could include the present members or new teams in the university division he said lehigh's major concern in proposing a reorganization of the mac or in considering en trance into a new league is for its undergraduates enrolled at the university a league that is academ ically balanced is bound to be equal in other ways and eliminates an unfairness to participating stu dents who must spend most of their time at studies this type of league can also encourage more enthusiasm on the part of any institution's total stu dent faculty and alumni bodies for whom intercol legiate athletics should be
