84 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Litigation Initiated by Candace Crays (34) A complaint has been filed in the Circuit Court of Champaign County (Case No. 78-L-640) by Candace Crays seeking damages in excess of $20,000 for injuries suffered in an alleged accident inside the Assembly Hall at the Urbana-Champaign campus on February 15, 1978. The complaint alleges that the University negligently allowed melted snow and ice, brought in on the shoes and clothing of the assembled crowd, to accumulate on the stairs of the Assembly Hall thereby causing a dangerous and unsafe condition in the building. Pursuant to previous delegations by the Board of Trustees, the university counsel has been given interim authorization to take such steps as are necessary or appropriate, including the employment of special counsel, to protect the interests of the University in this matter. T h e university counsel has recommended that such authorization be ratified, approved, and confirmed in all respects. I concur. The student advisory vote was: Aye, Miss Kooper, Mr. Sobotka, Mr. Watson; no, none. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. There being no further business, the board adjourned. EARL W. PORTER GEORGE W. HOWARD III Secretary President
