534 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 17 quested expression of opinion from the faculty electorate. The minimum number of [signers) valid signatures required in such a petition from the faculty electorate shall be established by the Senate in its bylaws. The formulation of the questions presented, and the procedures for obtaining such an expression of opinion shall be determined in each instance by the Senate. In all cases in which such poll is required, the Senate shall arrange for the poll to be conducted promptly upon receipt of the request. The results of any such poll of the faculty electorate shall lie made public promptly. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. The Chancellor at Urban a-Champaign and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination have forwarded this amendment for appropriate approval. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr, Livingston, this recommendation and the proposed revision of Article I, Sections 3 and 4b, and Article V, Section 1, of the Urbana-Champaign Senate Constitution were approved. REORGANIZATION OF THE FACULTY OF THE PEORIA SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, MEDICAL CENTER (7) The dean and the faculty of the Peoria School of Medicine have recommended, and the Executive Dean of the College and the Medical Center Senate have approved, the reorganization of the faculty of the school into the following departments : Basic Science, Dermatology, Family Practice, Medicine, Neurosciences, Obstetrics-Gynecology, Pathology, Pediatrics, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Preventive Medicine, Psychiatry, Radiology, and Surgery. These departments correspond to the thirteen currently existing disciplines in the Peoria School of Medicine. From its inception, the school has not been departmentalized but has operated informally under faculty-selected coordinators, with responsibilities generally corresponding to the plan of departmental organization here recommended. The school has now reached a level of development at which its administration will be more effective by formal delegation of responsibilities in specific areas of teaching and research to regularly constituted departments with a qualified head or chairman in each case. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur in the recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved. INCREASE IN SERVICE FEE. MEDICAL CENTER (8) The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus has recommended an increase in the service fee in the amount of $6.00 per quarter for full-time students at that campus effective September 1, 1974. Proportionate increases would be assessed Students with less than a full-time program. The service fee is now $54.00 per quarter for full-time students, and the recommended increase would bring the amount to $60.00 per quarter. The recommendation for an increase is made in order to meet rising costs of operations. The service fee has not been increased since September 1, 1971. Additionally, the Chancellor has recommended that the fee be assessed students of the College of Medicine enrolled at the Peoria School of Medicine and at the Rockford School of Medicine effective September 1, 1974. The fee has not heretofore been assessed at these two locations. The Board of Trustees' action on August 17, 1971 (adopting certain changes in the tuition and fees structure at the Medical Center campus) concluded that the service fee for students in the College of Medicine enrolled at Peoria or Rockford would be recommended later after needs and services at those locations had been defined on the basis of growth and operating experience. The programs at Peoria and Rockford are now well underway, and it is appropriate that the service fee paid by medical students at the Medi-
