COLLEGE OF PHARMACY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (3) The Dean of the College of Pharmacy recommends the appointment of Milton S. Prizant, Sales Manager, Gazzolo Drug and Chemical Company, Chicago, to the College of Pharmacy Advisory Committee for a term ending June 30, 1966. Mr. Prizant will replace Mr. Fred B. Kienzle, Midwest District VicePresident, McKesson and Robbins, Inc., Chicago, whose term has expired. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r s .

APPOINTMENT OF ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT IN CHARGE OF CHICAGO OFFICE (4) The public services of the University of Illinois require an office in Chicago as a headquarters for its general operations there, quite apart from the activities at the Medical Center and at Navy Pier. Office space has been available in the Illini Center, LaSalle Hotel, for many years, but the President's Office presently has no continuing staff at this location. I now request that the Board of Trustees authorize a new position, Assistant to the President in charge of the Chicago Office of the President, the duties to include the following assignments: 1. To represent the President at conferences and meetings in Chicago. 2. To supervise and manage the operations of the office, which will include providing services to University officers using the President's Office, to schedule conferences, to conduct interviews for the President, and to supply general information about the University. 3. To facilitate liaison among the several operations of the University of Illinois in the Chicago area. I also recommend the appointment of Charles C. Caveny, presently Executive Dean of the Chicago Undergraduate Division, to this position, effective January 1, 1962. His knowledge of the Chicago area and his background of experience in the community, as well as his knowledge of the University as a whole, will make it possible for him to render effective and important service in this new assignment.

PROGRESSIVE ADMISSION OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS (5) The Board of Trustees has authorized a plan of progressive admission of undergraduate students which establishes priorities for action on applications for admission according to a specified schedule. T h e All-University Committee on Admissions 1 recommends that the dates for the priority periods be modified as follows. Period I — through April 14, 1962 (rather than through March 31) Period II — from April IS through May 31, 1962 (rather than April 1 through April 30) Period I I I —after May 31, 1962 (rather than April 30) Experience has shown that Periods I and II were of insufficient duration to permit the processing of all the applications received for those periods. Most of the applications for a given priority period are available prior to the beginning date indicated for that period. Applications received following the period during which they would normally be processed would be handled so that priority is given, so far as administratively feasible, to the best qualified applicants. The Committee also recommends that the Dean of Admissions and Records be, authorized to make adjustments in dates for priority periods as necessary from year to year. I concur.

REVISIONS IN CURRICULA IN THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (6) The Urbana-Champaign Senate recommends the following revisions and new curricula in the College of Physical Education:

J The progressive admission of undergraduate students plan as approved by the Board of trustees was recommended by the University Senates. Since the change here proposed is only •n the schedule of priorities, approval by the University Senates is not deemed necessary.
