received a telephone call from Bart-

what he was going to say and en-
couraged me to think about a race."
His thoughts about political cam-
paigns are on two levels.
He said he was concerned about
the absence of a large number of
Republicans or of Republicans with
significant followings entering the
races so far.
"Dewey’s presence in Office
deterred Republicans with any mat-/
lire from running against him The
next few weeks will be critical,"
LaFortune said.

Hiram College, Hiram, Ohio from
1957 to 1964.
Sharp received his bachelor of
arts degree from Phillips University
in Enid in 1939 and his doctorate
from the University of Minnesota at
Minneapolis in 1947.
He was an instructor in history at
the University of Minnesota, an as-
sociate professor of history aLlowa
State University and a professor of
American history and chairman of
the Department of American Insti-
tutions at the University of Wiscon-

of Melbourne and the University of
Sydney. He was awarded member
ship in the Harvard Institute for
College Presidents in 1959.
He has presided over OU during a
period of ever-tightening budgets
for academics. OU’s burgeoning
football fortunes were marred by an
NCAA-Imposed probation which
kept the team off television and out
of bowl game competition during
the 1975 and 1970 seasons.
In September, Sharp announced

before the press conference and
urged him to consider running for

The Oklahoma City temperature
dropped five degrees, from 17, at 6
today and forecasts predicted the
mercury would continue Its down-
ward spiral throughout the day.
The winds and their hazardous
handiwork with Wednesday's snow
accumulations prompted officials to
continue a travelers advisory for
Oklahoma City through the morning
despite reports of clear express
ways and major thoroughfares in
the metro area.
Oklahoma City police said snow
drifts more than a fool deep posed a
threat to motorists on the North-
west Expressway west from Baptist
Medical Center to south of Lake
Hefner and in downtown areas
where the wind swept snow against
buildings and curbs this morning.
Inclined expressway entrance
ramps proved difficult to navigate,
police said, and caused tieups along
1-240 and on the Broadway Exten-
sion as morning traffic increased.

packed white maintenance crews

ies, authorities said.
Oklahoma City police said city
drivers, apparently seasoned to
reckoning with slick street* by
three storms in eight days, held
their own during the morning traffic
rush.
The police spokesman said the

». the previous storm.
J*. While traffic was still able to ne-
gotiate most roads at sharply re-
duced speed this morning, condi-
tions were expected to deteriorate
before getting better as the new

ships were reduced from 30 to 27
each year. Cowboy official* hoped
the NCAA would decide that penal-
ty, which still permitted trips to the
Fiesta and Tangerine Bowis. was
harsh enough.
But the NCAA infractions commit-
tee reported some shocking viola-
tions
One of the items on an eight page
list released this morning was.
• while recruiting a prospective stu-
dent-athlete during the 1972-73 aca-
demic year, a then assistant foot-
ball coach offered a prospective
: athlete's mother (ONE) employ-
ment, (TWO) an automobile at no
; cost to her and (THREE) driving
, lessons.”
Another. "In March, 1973. a then-
; assistant football coach provided
■ round trip automobile transporta
• tion for a prospective student-ath-
• lete at no cost to him between his
high school and a shopping mall,
where the coach promised he would
arrange (ONE) for the young man to
\ receive a cash payment. (TWO) for
I the young man to be provided a new
automobile for hi* personal use at
‘ no cost to him. (THREE) for the
5 young man to be provided a weekly
1 cash allowance in addition to a full
I athletic grant in aid, (FOUR) for
the young man to be provided new
! clothing at no cost to him and
J (FIVE) financial assistance for the
1 young man’s brother and sisters to
I attend the university at no cost to
1 his family.
Finally, prior to returning the
i young man to his high school, the
! coach purchased a soft drink for the
J young man.”
There wasn't even a hint of humor
• in most of the findings, however
• Other examples (full text on sports
• pane):
"In December, 1974, a representa
i -»ive of the university’s athletic in-
' terests gave a large amount of cash
• to a prospective student-athlete in
an effort to induce the young man to
) ! sign a conference letter of intent.
•While recruiting a prospective
student-athlete in the spring of
> 1975, a representative of the univer-
J sity’s athletic interest gave a young
• man cash and a gift certificate for
’■ clothing. . .
< “In February, 1973, a representa
• tive of the university's athletic in-
■ terest offered to give a large roll of
• cash he had in his possession to a
; prospective student-athlete in an ef-
fort to encourage the young man’s
I enrollment in the university.
• Further, at the same time, a
then-assistant football coach of-
feted to give the prospective stu-
> i dent-athlete a second roll of cash
I } •' and promised to arrange for him to
i be provided an automobile for his
' personal use and new clothing at no
I » cost to the young man in exchange

for his signature on a Big Eight Con- ||
ference letter of intent. .
"In February. 1973. during a con-
versation with the father of a pro-
spective student-athlete, a then-as-
sistant football coach offered to ar- |
range for three additional children k
in the family to attend the unlversi ■SjL Jffs
ty at no cost to them . .
"(While entertaining a prospect
at dinner) one representative
promised the young man that if he *
signed a conference letter of intent I
he would be provided a new automo-
bile at a reduced cost
"Further, the representatives
(two were at the dinner) offered to
purchase the young man's compli-
mentary season tickets for the 1974
football season at a cost which
would enable the young man to pur-
chase the automobile.
• In addition, the representative
promised that the prospect would be
provided (ONE) an apartment to re-
side in at no cost to him, (TWO) fi-
nancial assistance for his girl friend
to attend the university. (THREE)
new clothing at no cost to him.
(FOUR) extra spending money when
needed and (FIVE) a summer job
which would enable him to earn a
substantial sum during the summer
months. . .
"In February, 1973, a then-assist-
ant football coach and a representa-
tive of the university's athletic in-
terest provided round trip automo-
bile transportation to a prospective
student athlete at no cost to him be-
tween the young man's home and a
restaurant located approximately
10 miles away
■ Further, the representative of-
fered to arrange for (ONE) the
young man's mother to move to
Stillwater, Okla., at no cost to her.
where she would be provided cost-
free housing. (TWO) the young man
to be provided an automobile at no
cost to him and (THREE) the young
man's sister to attend the university
at no cost to her.
"Finally the representative also
gave the prospect cash on this occa-
sion. . .
• While recruiting a prospective
student-athlete in February. 1973, a
then-graduate assistant football
coach offered to give a young man a
large roll of cash in an effort to en-
courage the prospect to sign a con-
ference letter of Intent with the uni-
versity. . .
"During the summer of 1975,
through the arrangements of a rep-
resentative of the university's ath-
letic interest, a student-athlete was
provided a bank loan which the stu-
dent-athlete was not required to
repay, resulting in the gift of this
cash to this young man."
In accordance with NCAA policy,
no names were mentioned in the
release. It's known that junior de-
fensive end Mike Edwards and soph-
omore offensive lineman-wrestler
Jim Clark were involved and earlier
reports said they would be declared
ineligible. Technically, since they're
involved they do lose their eligibili-
ty. But OSU has the right to appeal
their cases to the NCAA Eligibility
Committee and it's thought Ed-
wards might escape with losing only
one or two games' eligibility and
Clark will be OKd for full competi-
tion.
The NCAA announcement said
OSU faces additional penalties "if
the university does not take appro-
priate corrective action in respect
to its recruiting practice
should be at least the reqi
that the university not solicit or ac-
cept recruiting assistance from six
representatives of the university's
athletic interests during the period
of the probation and 13 additional
representatives during and subse-
quent to the probation.”
Earlier published report* said the
13 facing the during and subsequent
ban are Larry Barnett, Harold Beat-
iy, J. Ted Bonham, Rick Buck, Gip
Duggan, Coy Ferguson, Calvin Gar-
rett, John Little, J. W. Mashburn,
Joe Phelps, Gene Smelser, Jim
Treat and Clarence Wright.
The other six are J. W. Armstrong.
Bill Aufleger, Glenn Lemons, Frank
Simpson, Tom Workman and Bill
Zaioudek.
