1979] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 165 to obtain the funds necessary to keep us the "crown jewel of higher education in Illinois." When I speak of this I am talking about a team composed of students, faculty, civil service, administrators, and trustees. It cannot be that the trustees want one thing while the nonacademics want another, or the faculty want something else. We must all be fighting for the same goals if we are to maintain our high standard. The preservation of a quality University is at stake. We cannot fail in this effort. During my eight years on this board I have had the unique opportunity of working with two great presidents: President Henry and President Corbally. They have both fielded teams of general University officers and administrators second to none. Each member of the team has done a remarkable job in representing a great University to people all over this state and the world. The trustees have been privileged to work with these men and women. We have had and will continue to have a faculty that is exceptional. We count on their guidance and advice in educational policy, as well as their great service in educating the leaders of tomorrow. We want this to be the finest University possible for our students. They are our greatest resource, and we want our future in good hands with qualified leaders. This board will always press for what is in the best interest of the student. Now, as to our presidential search: with Bill Howard's election as one of the members of the Executive Committee, I would like to ask him to continue his effort with the Consultative Committee. It is my opinion that Bill has done a marvelous job in this effort since President Corbally announced his resignation last September. It is extremely important for us to maintain continuity in this effort, and since so much of Bill's work has been via personal conference and telephone with Martin Wagner and his committee, I would appreciate his continuing in that capacity. T h e entire board will give Bill all the help he needs to accomplish this most important mission. As president of the board I will continue to be informed and involved, but I will look to Bill to function on behalf of the board with the Consultative Committee. Now, with your permission, I would like to announce the committee assignments: Standing Committees, 1979-80 1 Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Arthur R. Velasquez, Chairman •Venus D.
