Redesignation, Institute for Child Behavior and Development as Institute for Research on Human Development, Urbana

(15) The senate at the Urbana campus has recommended redesignating the Institute for Child Behavior and Development as the Institute for Research on Human Development, effective immediately. The new name reflects more accurately the expanded research scope to include adults as well as children. The Institute for Child Behavior and Development is an interdisciplinary unit concerned with health and human development in relation to social and technological change. Its research emphasizes the understanding of health and human development in relation to increased aging of the population, changes in family structure, the impact of chronic illness, and the need for quality health care, technological advancements, and effective computer usage. There are no budgetary or staff implications associated with the change recommended. The chancellor, the vice chancellor for academic affairs, and the dean of the College of Applied Life Studies have recommended approval. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved. Designation of Baseball Stadium as "Proano Stadium," Urbana

(16) In 1°84, Lou Proano of Incline Village, Nevada, made a gift commitment of $1.5 million toward the construction of the new athletic complex at the Urbana campus. One-half of Mr. Proano's gift has been designated for the baseball stadium, recently completed. In recognition of Mr. Proano's significant support of the University and its athletic programs, the chancellor at the Urbana campus has recommended that the Board of Trustees designate the baseball stadium as Proano Stadium. Mr. Proano, who graduated from the University in 1966, is the president and chief executive officer of Cutlery Corporation of America. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved. Merger, Departments of Family Medicine and Community Medicine, College of Medicine at Rockford

(17) The senate at the Chicago campus has approved a proposal by the College of Medicine at Rockford to merge the Departments of Family Medicine and Community Medicine to form a new unit, the Department of Family and Community Medicine. In recent years, areas of mutual concern to the two departments have begun to blend, e.g. access to allied health professionals, reduced teaching loads and more research initiatives, cost effectiveness, and required clinical chemistries. A combined Department of Family and Community Medicine will be better able to: (1) serve undergraduate and graduate medical education; (2) facilitate existing and future services, patient care, and health delivery; and (3) expedite research in primary health care research.
