tion of such examinations reside primarily within the department, it recommends that the dean of each college request a faculty group to study this matter. In those colleges and departments in which expansion of use of such examinations seems desirable and possible, appropriate mechanism for administration and evaluation should be developed. The Committee on Educational Policy would consider adoption of campus-wide policies and procedures upon receiving reports from each dean concerning present and proposed practices of the colleges. These recommendations have the endorsement of the Chancellor at the UrbanaChampaign campus. The Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved.

On motion of Mr. Clement, these recommendations were approved.

CHANGE IN TITLE OF LEGAL COUNSEL

(20) Section 46 of the University Statutes reads as follows: "The Legal Counsel shall be appointed biennially by the Board of Trustees on the nomination of the President. He shall serve as legal adviser to the Board of Trustees, to the President, and to other administrative officers of the University. He shall represent the University and the Board of Trustees in all legal proceedings, unless otherwise provided." To meet increasing demands and to accommodate the transition to the chancellorship system, members of the Legal Counsel staff are now located at each campus on a full-time basis. They perform the day-to-day functions of the Office and are directly available to advise the Chancellor and other officers of the campus in legal matters. With the concurrence of the Legal Counsel and the Chancellors, I am proposing the following to be effective immediately (with the substance to be later incorporated into formal amendments of the Statutes and General Rules) : 1. The present title "Legal Counsel" will be changed to "University Counsel." 2. For each campus the University Counsel, after consultation with the Chancellor, may designate a Legal Counsel who will also be an Associate University Counsel. Each campus Legal Counsel will report to the University Counsel and be his representative on the designated campus in legal matters. Under the general direction of the University Counsel, the campus Legal Counsel will serve as legal adviser to the Chancellor and to other administrative officers of the campus. On motion of Mr. Clement, these changes were approved.

Chaney, will continue as Director of the University Office of Administrative Data Processing. He will report to the Executive Vice President and Provost and will continue to have responsibility for administrative data processing for the entire University. In general, the University Office of Administrative Data Processing will be concerned with University-wide policies and procedures relative to methodology in information processing, the development of program statements for Universitywide data processing systems, standards and procedures for the utilization of data processing services, and systems and program documentation. Each of the campus Offices of Administrative Data Processing will be headed by a director who will report to the Director of the University Office and will be the latter's campus representative in data-processing affairs. It will be the responsibility of the campus director and his office to provide the data-processing services required for administrative purposes by the Chancellor, in accordance with priorities to be determined by the Chancellor. The campus office will also provide such
