480 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [December 12 interest, copies of which were distributed at the meeting, and a copy was filed with the secretary of the board. COMMUNICATION President Forsyth presented a request from the Champaign-Urbana Coalition against Apartheid, in which the group asked to appear before the board at the January 17, 1980, meeting to discuss the trustees' present policy with regard to investments in corporations doing business in South Africa. T h e trustees discussed the request, emphasizing that the present policy, adopted in March 1979, followed extensive discussions and represents a fully considered position of the board. It was further pointed out that the calendar for the January board meeting and related activities is a full one and that it would not be feasible to arrange for such an appearance. It was made clear that the coalition may communicate its views to the trustees in writing at any time. T h e secretary was directed to so advise the coalition. SCHEDULING OF EXECUTIVE SESSIONS M r . Forsyth announced his intention, without objection, to schedule the executive sessions of the board earlier, perhaps at the beginning of each meeting. T h e intent would be to avoid the present inconvenience to guests at lunch and others waiting while the executive sessions are held. REGULAR AGENDA T h e board considered the following reports and recommendations from the president of the University. Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates (1) T h e 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 six 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. T h e Committee on Accountancy, pursuant to Rule 16(d) of the Regulations, also recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded to 49 candidates who wish to transfer the examination credit earned by passing the standard written examination in another state and who have fulfilled all other legal requirements under Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended. T h e Committee on Accountancy also recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded to one candidate who passed the standard written examination given in May 1979 in Illinois and who has fulfilled all other legal requirements under Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended. I concur in these recommendations. The names of the candidates have been filed with the secretary. O n motion of M r . Neal, these certificates were awarded.
