HEADSHIP O F THE DEPARTMENT OF MARKETING (7) A search committee 2 appointed in September, 1963, to recommend a Head of the Department of Marketing in the College of Commerce and Business Administration (Urbana) to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of the former Head, Professor H .

After the Committee had been at work for some time and had brought prospective candidates to the University for interviews, members of the Department requested a meeting to consider changing the administrative organization from a headship to a chairmanship. In accordance with University statutory provisions, the Dean called a meeting of the members of the Department of professorial rank and they voted seven to four in favor of the chairmanship organization. T h e Dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration has transmitted the results of this vote to the President of the University with his recommendation: that no change be made and that the Department continue to be organized with a Head. T h e recommendation is supported unanimously by the Executive Committee 4 of the College. T h e Dean's report supporting his recommendation is submitted herewith and a copy is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.
