Complete reimbursement of the University's legal, engineering, and other expenses legitimately and prudently incurred in connection with the preparation and prosecution of its application, and b.

Renaming of the Student Services Building, Urbana (14) Student affairs staff members at the Urbana campus have recommended that the Student Services Building be renamed the "Fred H . Turner Student Services Building" in honor of the former dean of students, who retired in 1968 after fifty years of service under eight University presidents. Dean Turner began his tenure with the University as a part-time student employee at Urbana in 1918, earning a baccalaureate degree in 1922, a master's degree in 1926, and a Ph.D. in 1931. He was named assistant dean of men in 1922, dean of men in 1932, dean of students in 1943, and University dean of students and chairman of the University of Illinois Centennial Year in 1968. During his long career he was active in a number of local, state, regional, and national associations, receiving the National Interfraternity Conference Gold Medal in 1955 and the College Fraternity Secretary's Association Distinguished Service Award in 1967. He continued to serve the University after retiring and in 1971 was the recipient of the University of Illinois Alumni Achievement Award. Dean Turner died in September 1975. The vice chancellor for student affairs and the chancellor at the U r b a n a campus concur in this recommendation. I recommend approval. M r .
