The fee levels displayed above apply to full-time students. 2. The rates shown for health insurance represent the student's portion only. Representatives of student government at each of the campuses had asked to appear: David Forrer, Urbana-Champaign campus, and John M . Hayes, Chicago campus. Mr. Forrer reported on a student referendum held the day before in which some three-fourths of those voting expressed opposition to the increase in the computer fee as recommended. Some 2,300 students voted. In the case of Chicago, M r . Hayes criticized procedures which he believed to be flawed and complained of inadequate time for student consultation. Each of the chancellors responded to the student comments, Dr. Weir expressing doubt that the student vote was a significant expression of overall student opinion or that it necessarily reflected the informed view of many students who make use of the computer services. Nonetheless, in respect to the referendum, he asked the trustees' agreement to defer the recommendation on the computer fee in order that he might consult widi students and others, reserving the right to present the recommendation to the Board of Trustees again in May. By consensus, the trustees agreed to this procedure. Chancellor Langenberg discussed in detail the procedural question, noting that there had been many meetings and much opportunity for students to learn the details of the recommendation. O n motion of Miss Smith, the recommendation (with the deletion of the computer fee increase) was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, M r . Howard, Mr. Logan, Miss Smith, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Mr. H a h n , Governor T h o m p son. (Mrs. Shepherd had to leave the meeting prior to the vote but asked that she be recorded in favor of the recommendation.) ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Wylie; no, Mr. Evenson.) By consensus, the board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 17 through 21 inclusive. T h e recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. ( T h e record of board action appears at the end of each item.)
