640 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 17 tion; resignations, declinations, and cancellation for summer quarter and summer session appointments; leaves of absence; cancellation of sabbatical leaves of absence. A copy of the report is filed with the Secretary. REQUEST FOR HEARING The Secretary presented a request for a presentation from the "Faculty for University Reform" (at Urbana) on the following subjects: " 1 . Procedures for speaking at meetings of the Board of Trustees; 2. Priorities in expenditure of University funds and development of new projects in general and the establishment of the proposed Faculty Center or our proposed Human Resources Center in particular." The request was not received in time to permit its consideration under the emergency procedures for the September meeting. Accordingly, it was presented for action on September 17. On motion of Mr. Clement, the Board approved a presentation on the first of the two subjects identified. The second subject, related to the Faculty Center, was considered now to be moot in the light of the commitments made by the University to the donors, state agencies and to the faculty. The presentation will be scheduled for a forthcoming meeting to be selected by the Faculty for University Reform.

The Chairman of the Committee had arranged for presentations to the Committee from members of the Executive Committee of the Graduate Student Association.

When the Board reconvened in Executive Session, the same members of the Board, officers of the Board, and officers of the University were present as recorded at the beginning of these minutes, except Mr. Theodore Jones and Mr. Donald Grimes who asked to be excused. Although a quorum of the Board was not present, in view of the approval, granted in July, to hear representatives of the Cooperative Ministry of the United Church of Christ (and in view of their being present to make such a presentation), the Trustees asked the representatives to speak. They were Mr. Stanley Balbach, attorney, the Reverend Lionel Miles, and Mr. Donald Laz, architect. The spokesmen
