16 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July 29 are now known as the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses, the transition committee has designated and the president has approved that effective September 1, 1982, the two geographic sites may be referred to as "University Center" and "Health Sciences Center" respectively. I recommend that the Board of Trustees confirm these actions. Under the University of Illinois Statutes, a chancellor, under the direction of the president, serves as the chief executive officer for his campus and performs such duties as may be delegated and assigned to him by the president. Accordingly, until such time as the appointment of a single chancellor for the University of Illinois at Chicago becomes effective, I propose to continue in effect the existing delegations and assignments of duties to Chancellor Begando and Chancellor Riddle, who have agreed to serve during the interim period, and each will retain the jurisdictions, responsibilities, and functions now in effect. I further request that the trustees also confirm this interim arrangement regarding the chancellorship. On motion of Dr. Donoghue, these recommendations were approved and these actions were confirmed. University High School, Urbana (Report for Information) (17) Over the past year the Urbana-Champaign campus has devoted considerable attention to the future of University High School. An important part of the deliberations has focused on financial support of the school, especially in the light of its long history as a laboratory school of high quality. Specific attention was given to the potential for increasing voluntary support from parents; and to the possibility of receiving laboratory school funding through the Common Schools Fund which is administered by the Illinois State Board of Education. A vigorous campaign among the parents has just been completed, and the campaign goal has been reached. The prospect of receiving funds from the Board of Education now appears to be likely as well. As a part of its responsibility in administering a program of support for laboratory schools, the Board of Education was directed by the General Assembly to develop a set of guidelines to be used in determining eligibility for such support. T h e guidelines were recently prepared and have been circulated for comment. In general, they present no serious problems for the campus. One area in which adjustment will be required relates to the calendar year for students and faculty at the high school. The School Code specifies the number of days that school shall be in session and in order to comply, the academic year at University High School must be changed, by the addition of approximately twelve days, thus increasing the period by that amount over the academic year for the Urbana-Champaign campus. Compensation schedules for the teaching staff will be adjusted to reflect the additional service time. This report was received for record. (The University High School academic year for 1982-83 will b e : August 19May 3 1 ; the academic year at the Urbana-Champaign campus is August 21-May 20.) President's Report on Actions of the Senates Establishment of a Minor in Sports Studies, Chicago Circle (18) The Chicago Circle Senate has approved a proposal to establish a sports studies minor in the Department of Physical Education.
