those employees who terminate employment subsequent to the Board of Trustees' approval of this recommendation. To implement the changes described, the university director of personnel services and the executive vice president have recommended the following revision of the Policy and Rules—Nonacademic, Chapter X I I , Disability Benefits (new material is italicized). University Policy, Paragraph B2 and B3: 2. Sick Leave Uses An employee may use accumulated Sick Leave when absent because of personal illness, illness of spouse and/or children, injury, Maternity Leave, or to obtain medical or dental consultation or treatment. Exceptions and applications of this policy beyond spouse and children, e.g., members of household, may be granted. Members of household should be defined as dependent residents of the employee's household. 3. Reinstatement of Accumulated Sick Leave A former employee who separates in good standing and returns to employment within two years, shall have former accrued sick leave restored. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Neal, the revision of the Policy and Rules-Nonacademic was approved as recommended.

The approval was encompassed in the approval of a Student Organization Resource Fee. T h e Student Legal Services Plan was organized in September 1978 and became fully operational in November 1978. Contacts by individual students with the legal service have approximated 300 per month during the past school year. A survey conducted by the SLS has indicated high client satisfaction, and the SLS Advisory Board has reported its satisfaction with the program. The trustees have also received the second annual report of the university counsel, made in accordance with terms of the original SLS plan. T h a t report indicates that the SLS has been operating effectively and merits continuation. With the successful completion of the trial period, the chancellor at UrbanaChampaign now has recommended that the Student Legal Services be continued on a regular basis with funding from the Student Organization Resource Fee as previously authorized.
