Secretary's Note: Paulina Street Matter, Medical Center Campus

[During the General Policy Committee meeting of April 19, President Forsyth distributed copies of a letter he had received from Harold Byron Smith, Jr., chairman of the Board of Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago. The letter did not meet the requirements of the trustee's resolution of March 21, 1979. Accordingly, no action was required, it being the general understanding that the authority to initiate litigation would be exercised.]

Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates

(1) The Committee on Accountancy recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded, under Section 5 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended, to nineteen candidates who have presented evidence that they are holders of valid and unrevoked certified public accountant certificates obtained by passing a standard written examination in another state or territory of the United States and who qualify in all other respects under this provision of the law. The names of the candidates have been filed with the secretary. I concur.

Head, Department of Art and Design, Urbana

(2) The dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts has recommended to the chancellor at Urbana-Champaign the appointment of Eugene C. Wicks, presently professor of art and acting head of the Department of Art and Design, as head of the department beginning August 21, 1979, on a twelve-month service basis, at a salary of $42,000. Professor Wicks will continue to hold the rank of professor of art on indefinite tenure. He has been acting head since Professor James R. Shipley asked to be relieved of this administrative assignment at the end of the 1976-77 academic year. The nomination is made with the advice of a consultative committee, 1 after consultation with faculty members of the department, and is supported by the executive committee of the college. The chancellor approves the recommendation and the vice president for academic affairs concurs. I recommend approval.
