O n motion of M r . H o w a r d , these appointments were confirmed. I n the course of discussion as to the reasons why some of the a p pointments presented appear on the agenda at a time after the individual has begun service, President Corbally noted that considerable paper work is involved a n d that, in the interest of accuracy and full understanding between the University and new faculty, the Secretary does not prepare this item for presentation to the Board until this work is completed. T h e only alternative would be to submit the appointments prior to completion.

ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVES. CHICAGO CIRCLE (7) The Board of Trustees at its June 20, 1973, meeting approved a plan for paid leaves of two to four months' duration for certain administrative officers. Such leaves were to be recommended by a Chancellor or the President to provide an opportunity for such officers to "keep abreast of developments in their profession and to find time to design new approaches to their tasks." The Chancellor at Chicago Circle now has recommended such leaves for Deans Irvin Heckmann and Jan Rocek. Dean Heckmann, who has served as Dean of the College of Business Administration since 1968; has_ requested leave from November 1, 1973, through February 28, 1974. During his leave, he will complete the manuscript for a third edition of a book on organizational behavior and develop a proposal for the study of critical requirements of administrative accountability in higher education. Dean Rocek, who served as Acting Dean (and later Dean) of the Graduate College from September 1969, to the present time, has requested leave from September 1 through December 31, 1974. He plans to conduct research and write a chapter on chromic acid oxidation for a compendium on "Oxidation in Organic Chemistry" to be published by Academic Press, Inc. The proposed leaves have been reviewed by the committee on administrative leaves which recommends approval. O n motion of M r . Howard, these leaves were granted as recommended.
