The study is designed as a base for future policy studies in the United States.

DEAN JOHN E. CRIBBET, Dean of the College of Law since 1967, who has re-

quested leave from January 15 to May 15, 1974, during which period he will renew contacts with legal educators in England and prepare a Second Edition of Principles of the Law of Property.

ASSOCIATE DEAN KARL E. GARDNER, who has served in that position in the College

of Agriculture since 1959, and has requested leave from March 1 to June 30, 1974.

Director of the Educational Opportunities Program, who has requested leave coincident with campus vacation periods during this academic year in order to compile, organize, and tabulate material for an annotated inventory of materials relating to the history of minority education at the University of Illinois from 1960 to 1968. The proposed leaves have been reviewed by the committee on administrative leaves1 and the committee recommends approval.

On motion of Mr. Neal, these leaves were granted as recommended.

A P P O I N T M E N T T O M U N I C I P A L CLERK T R A I N I N G INSTITUTE COMMITTEE. URBANA

(7) Legislation passed by the Seventy-Fifth General Assembly provides for the establishment by the Board of Trustees of a Municipal Clerk Training Institute and the appointment of three University representatives to a Municipal Clerk Training Institute Committee. The Trustees acted in compliance with this legislation on March 20, 1968. The Committee is responsible for development of a curriculum for newly elected or appointed municipal clerks and a refresher course. One of the representatives appointed by the Trustees in 1968, Richard L. Ulrich, Extension Specialist, Division of University Extension, now has left the University. The Director of the Office of Continuing Education and Public Service at Urbana has recommended that Elmer Edwards, Conference Coordinator in the Conferences and Institutes department of the Office of Continuing Education and Public Service, be appointed to replace Mr. Ulrich.1

1 In reviewing the applications for such leaves, the guideline which provides that the applicants "have served for at least^five years of continuous service in the position indicated" has been interpreted to refer to service in one or more eligible positions, not only the applicant's present position. * The other University members of the Committee are Professor Gerald D. Brighton, Department of Accountancy, and Associate Professor James A. Gentry of the Department of Finance.
