622 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 13 indicated that the disappointment for the legislative session was that there was no capital budget approved for the University. He then said that it was very good to get planning funds for the two projects mentioned by the president. He also told the trustees that funding for the County Board matching funds would be moved to the Department of Agriculture, if the governor signs the legislation for this which has been approved by the Legislature. He also mentioned that there was good cooperation among several universities in securing funding for academic medical centers this year. He then noted that the Department of Psychiatry at Chicago will benefit from legislation approved for more funding for mental health. Mr. Hard then spoke of initiatives in which the University had an interest that did not pass the Legislature this year. These included an optional retirement program which he said would probably move forward at a later time and a bill that required approval of a two-third's majority of a public university's governing board for a tuition and fee increase to be put in place. Mr. Hard thanked his staff for their work through the legislative session in the State and Mr. Rick Schoell for his work in Federal legislative matters. Mr. Lamont commended the governmental relations staff for their good work this past year. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD Mr. Lamont invited Mrs. O'Malley to make a presentation to Mr. Mathew. She then thanked Mr. Mathew for his service as student trustee from the Chicago campus this past year and presented him a citation on behalf of the board. Mr. Mathew responded; thanking the University administration and Mrs. Mathew as well as friends and students for their support. Mr. Lamont then presented a citation to Mr. Chapin Rose, student trustee from the Urbana-Champaign campus, and thanked him for his service to the board for the past two years. Mr. Rose thanked his colleagues and his mother for their support and told the board that he planned to help develop more interest among the alumni in central and southern Illinois in participating with the Alumni Association. Mrs. Gravenhorst thanked Messrs. Mathew and Rose for their outstanding performance as student trustees. OLD BUSINESS There was no business presented under this aegis. NEW BUSINESS Dr. Bazzani presented a status report on developments for the Lincolnland Energy, Inc., which the board had approved at their meeting in March 1996.
