APPOINTMENT O F DIRECTOR O F PUBLIC INFORMATION (4) I recommend that the position of Director of Public Relations be changed to Director of Public Information. T h e latter title more accurately reflects the projected responsibilities of the office, since "Public Relations" a s a term has come to have a broad application in institutional life and is the concern of many University officers. I further recommend that Charles E. Flynn, presently University of Illinois Athletic Association Publicity Supervisor, be appointed Director of Public I n formation effective October I, 1956, at an annual salary of $13,000, on "Y" basis. This appointment is to replace M r . Josef F . Wright who has asked to be relieved of his duties at the beginning of the academic year 1956-57. However, he will be administratively responsible for the office until October 1, instead of September 1, 1956, as previously reported.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this appointment was approved.

ADMINISTRATIVE APPOINTMENTS (5) I n order to more clearly mark the responsibilities of the officers concerned and to expedite the business of the President's Office, I recommend the following changes in status, effective September 1, 1956: HENNING LARSEN, from Provost to Vice-President and Provost, at a salary of $21,000, on " Y " basis. Mr. Larsen is also Professor of English. H . O. FARBER, from Comptroller to Vice-President and Comptroller, at a salary of $16,000, on " Y " basis. Mr. Farber is also Comptroller of the Board of Trustees and Comptroller of the University Retirement System of Illinois. A. J. JANATA, from Assistant to the President on one-half time to Executive Assistant to t h e President on one-half time, in addition to his appointment as Secretary of the Board of Trustees on one-half time, at a salary of $16,500, on " Y " basis.
