to say that an increase of 70 per cent for residents and 50 per cent for nonresidents in a single year, and with short notice, is excessive. Great hardship will be imposed on large numbers of people, particularly for those in the middle and low middle income groups who are not eligible for grants and scholarships. In considering student economics, one must also keep in mind the increases in fee charges, as well as tuition and the other increases in costs to students such as room and board, travel, and living expenses. T h e Governor's budget reduces the tax support of the University by $17y$ million below that recommended by the Board of Higher Education in its "hold the line" review of capital and operating budgets. T h e resulting budget is $4.6 million less than the General Assembly appropriated from tax funds for the present year. W e are given pause in the situation by the fact that not since 1933 to 1935 have new general revenue appropriations for the University of Illinois been lower than those for the preceding budget period. This fact has an ominous overtone for the future. I sincerely hope that the Board of Higher Education budget action of February 3, and the subsequent action on a supplemental budget, will be sustained when the full significance of the further retrenchment now proposed is understood.

Mr. Clement, noting that a meeting had been scheduled with representatives of the Universities and the Governor, suggested that the Board take action to define its position officially. (Mr. Clement had been asked to represent the Board at the meeting.) Mr. Clement moved that the Board reaffirm its position of concurring with the recommendations of the Board of Higher Education in all aspects of the budget requests for FY 1971. The motion was approved.

I concur.

On motion of Mr. Jones, these certificates were awarded.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT CERTIFICATE REVOCATION (3) At its meeting September 16, 1964, the Board of Trustees, upon recommendation of the Committee on Accountancy, awarded an Illinois C.P.A. certificate to Stanley Broskie under the reciprocity provisions of the Illinois Public Accounting Act upon evidence that he was the holder of a valid certificate issued by the state of New Jersey. The Committee on Accountancy has been advised by authorities of the state of New Jersey that the New Jersey C.P.A. certificate awarded to Stanley Broskie has been revoked, effective January 20, 1970. The reciprocity section of the Illinois Public Accounting Act provides as follows: "Any certificate issued under the provisions of this section shall be automatically revoked if the original certificate issued by the other state . . . is subsequently revoked." T h e Committee on Accountancy, therefore, recommends that the Illinois C.P.A. Certificate No. 9493 awarded to Stanley Broskie be revoked. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Jones, this recommendation was approved.
