BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[March 15

Mr. Robert Winter, speaking for the Graduate Student Association at Urbana, indicated his belief that there had been inadequate student consultation in the decision making process and that there had been a lack of proper analysis of the significance of auxiliary services and fees in general. Mr. Pete Hammer of the Undergraduate Student Association at Urbana requested that a referendum be conducted to determine "the student voice on this question" and suggested that a board composed of students and faculty be established to govern and administer the health service. _ The President of_ the University pointed out that the recommendation came from a committee, with significant student representation on it, advisory to the health service, and agreed that it would be in order to conduct a study of fees generally on all campuses. O n motion of M r . Steger, the recommendation was approved.

Operations. The Governor's budget includes for the University of Illinois the identical amounts_ recommended by the Illinois Board of Higher Education for operating appropriations from general revenue, University income, and the Agricultural Premium Fund. The funds anticipated from indirect-cost income and from federal healthmanpower grants are included in the Governor's budget among funds not subject to appropriation by the General Assembly. There is no breakdown of funds by campuses within the budget for operations proposed for the University of Illinois. The Board of Higher Education took no action on IBA rental funds, but the Governor included the amount shown for that purpose in the preceding table. Capital projects. The capital items are those recommended by the Board of Higher Education, except that the set of supplemental projects included in Table S of Executive Director's Report No. 102 (for funding from nongeneral-revenue sources) was omitted from the Governor's budget. These items totaled $1,932,175 for the University of Illinois. The Animal Holding Facility and the Pathological Waste Incinerator were intended to come from environmental protection funds, but the Bureau of the Budget has determined that these funds cannot be used for these projects. The remaining University of Illinois projects in Table 5 were remodeling, utilities, and equipment items which were deleted from the budget in order to restore the equipment items that had been removed from the FY 1971-72 budget, to provide funds for salary increases. The Capital Development Fund will be created from the sale of generalobligation bonds, as permitted under the new constitution. All projects previously authorized for funding through the Illinois Building Authority, as well as some items appropriated from general revenue but not released, are to be reauthorized from the Capital Development Fund. The reappropriation figure is less than the estimated June 30 balances, and the Bureau of the Budget has agreed to work with the University staff in revising the figures.
