42 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 15 addition, the following persons were also in attendance: Mr. Donald K. Coe, director, University Office of Public Affairs; Mr. Kirk Hard, executive assistant to the president of the University; and Mr. R. C. Wicklund, associate secretary emeritus. MEETING OF THE BOARD AS A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT Mr. Boyle announced that Mr. Gerardo Reyes, representing the St. Francis of Assisi Church Preservation Committee, had requested time to speak to the members of the board and that each of the trustees had been apprised of this request and of the fact that it met the terms of the Procedures Governing Appearances before the Board of Trustees. Accordingly, Mr. Boyle invited Mr. Reyes to speak, noting the time limitation of five minutes per speaker. Mr. Reyes addressed the board on behalf of his organization, the St. Francis of Assisi Church Preservation Committee. He explained that this group was concerned about the possibility that the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago might decide to dispose of the buildings and property currently occupied by the church. Mr. Reyes stated that his group thought that since the University had acquired a great deal of neighboring land that there might be an interest in purchasing this land. He asked that the board not buy this property if it is offered by the archdiocese. He also asked the board to prevent University Police from blocking the parking lot near the church, as this inconveniences parishioners. In closing, he asked that a written response be sent to him and his group specifying the University's intentions with regard to the church property. Chancellor Stukel agreed to write such a letter and indicated that he had an annual meeting with Cardinal Bernardin and that the time for that meeting was quickly approaching. He said he would discuss this matter with the Cardinal. He also noted that there were no current plans to purchase this property. BOARD MEETING RECESSED The board then recessed for a meeting of the University of Illinois Health Maintenance Organization Trust. The board members met as individuals to receive a report on the Trust. MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS HOSPITAL AND CLINICS Dr. Gindorf convened a meeting of the Committee on the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics and asked Dr. R. K. Dieter Haussmann, vice chancellor for health services, to make a report on recent developments concerning the hospital. (Materials for this committee meeting are on file with the secretary.)
