At Mr. Peterson's request, a student speaker, Mr. Larry Corcoran, vice president of the Student Government Association (SGA) at the Urbana-Ghampaign campus, presented a statement recommending that the proposal not be adopted in its present form and that it be subsequently referred to the Student Welfare and Activities Committee. T h e SGA argued that the economic impact of the full-year contract had not been adequately established; a reciprocal agreement had not been clearly defined; that there had not been sufficient "input" from students and that in general there had been insufficient information presented to certified housing units. Mr. Corcoran also presented letters from the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council also (endorsing the proposal); and from the Residence Hall Association, essentially agreeing with the SGA position. Mrs. Shepherd's motion then was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Shepherd; no, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Stone, Mr. Velasquez; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Maltese, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Silverman; no, none.) Accordingly, the recommendation will be referred to the Student Welfare and Activities Committee a t a forthcoming meeting of the board and of the committee. By consensus, the board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 11 through 19 inclusive. T h e recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)
