BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October

26

(b) The Board approve the policing arrangements proposed by Director George Huff to enforce this ordinance, viz.: "We propose to have a man who will be sworn in as a policeman by the City of Champaign, on each gate, whose sole duty will be to see that drunks do not get in. After the game starts, these men are to patrol the aisles and remove anyone who is disorderly. It may be difficult to get reliable men, but we are making every possible effort to get the best men available and to give them complete supervision. We are placing a flying squadron of three or four men both on the outside and the inside of the Stadium on each side, in case a group should become belligerent, because it is quite obvious that one man could not remove three or four who showed fight. This work will be under the supervision of a member of the Athletic Association staff." (c) The Board endorse the publicity program of Director Huff and that it suggest, in addition to the notices sent to purchasers of tickets and to the press, a copy of which is attached to this report, special publicity be given to the ordinance at the Stadium itself by posting conspicuous notices of it in prominent places at the entrances to the Stadium. (2) Extramural Instruction The Committee recommends that the Board of Trustees endorse in prfhciple the proposal that the Division of University Extension include in its program of instruction extramural courses and classes, but that any such expansion of its program shall not be undertaken until a definite proposal, involving both educational and budgetary considerations, has been prepared and submitted to the Board with the recommendations of the President for final action by the Board. (3) Chair of Slavonic Languages The Committee recommends that this matter be left in the hands of the President of the University for further consideration and that such steps be taken by him as are possible and practicable, considering financial circumstances and the availability of personnel within the present staff of the University, to carry out the objectives of the proposal made to the Board by the Czechoslovak National Council. (4) Medical Park at Chicago The Committee recommends that the Board express itself as being in favor of the creation of a medical park area on the west side of Chicago to include the University's Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy, but without commitment at this time as to details of procedure in acquiring and administering this area. Respectfully submitted, T H E COMMITTEE ON GENERAL POLICY
