educational aspects of the intercollegiate athletic program. The board also serves as an advisory committee to the chancellor and the athletic director on the financial management, personnel, and other operational aspects of the intercollegiate athletics program. The board consists of eighteen members: two faculty representatives to the Big Ten; six other faculty members; four alumni, including the president of the University of Illinois Alumni Association (or designee); the chairman of the Board of Trustees' Committee on Athletic Activities; two students; and three ex-officio members without vote: a designee of the chancellor, the University comptroller or designee, and the athletic director. Terms are staggered so that each year two faculty members, one alumnus, and one student are proposed for membership; the faculty members and the alumnus serve three-year terms, the student members two-year terms. A slate of faculty and student nominees is provided by the senate, and the slate of alumni by the Urbana-Champaign Council of the Alumni Association. The chancellor reviews the list of candidates and forwards his recommendations to the president of the University for action by the Board of Trustees. I recommend approval of these appointments.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. Honorary Degree, Urbana
