BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 19

sidered the vote on each agenda item nos. 5 through 22 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates

(5) The Committee on Accountancy recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded under Section 5 of the Illinois Public Accounting Act of 1983 to ten candidates who have presented evidence that they are holders of valid and unrevoked certified public accountant certificates obtained by passing the uniform 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 of the board. I concur in this recommendation.

On motion of Mr. Howard, these certificates were awarded.

Selection of Appointee to Board of Trustees of the State Universities Retirement System

(6) In response to an amendment to the Illinois Pension Code which changed the composition of the Board of Trustees of the State Universities Retirement System (SURS), the Board of Trustees of the University in 1977 selected James A. Gentry, professor of finance at the Urbana-Champaign campus, to serve a six-year term as a member of the board in a position designated by the legislation for a participant in SURS. Professor Gentry's term will expire in August. He has been an influential and effective trustee of SURS during his term, and his financial background and interest in the investment process make him a valuable member of that board. The president of the board and I recommend that Professor Gentry be reappointed to the position of trustee of SURS for another six-year term.

On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved.
