88 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [October 18 MINUTES APPROVED The Secretary presented for approval the press proofs of the minutes of the Board of Trustees meeting of December 17, 1971, copies of which had previously been sent to the Board. On motion of Mr. Swain, these minutes were approved as printed on pages 459 to 480 inclusive. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY P R E S I D E N T ' S REPORTS The Board considered the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University. President Corbally presented a report on selected topics of current interest, copies of which were distributed at the meeting, and a copy was filed with the Secretary of the Board. Fiftieth Anniversary of the Dads Association President Corbally gave the following report: On Dads Day, November 11, the Dads Association of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will observe its golden anniversary. For fifty years this Association has carried on service activities and served as a liaison between students, parents, and the University. This was the world's first such organization and today it is the largest. Its services to the University have been many. They include: financing scholarships; sponsoring meetings for parents during the advance registration period on campus; sponsoring information meetings for the parents throughout the state; and, the most recent service, a self-service postal station located in the heart of the campus. The postal station will be dedicated on Dads Day as a part of the Association's anniversary program. T h e Dads Association — and also the Mothers Association — have been very important to the University. They certainly have proved the statement "When a student becomes a part of the University family, the University becomes a part of the student's family."

At the end of that period, the campus will be required to report upon its progress and the University will seek full approval of the institute. The institute initially will consist of three major segments: the Task Force in Heavy Metals; the Water Resources Center; and the Center for Human Ecology. Dr. Benjamin B. Ewing, Director of the Water Resources Center, will serve as Acting Director of the Institute, effective immediately, and until a search committee has made recommendations and a permanent director has been located. Upon distribution of this report, President Corbally called on Chancellor Peltason who reported in detail on the provisions included in the proposal for the institute. Report on Legislation — Senate Bill 1436 On September 7, 1972, Governor Ogilvie signed Senate Bill 1436 into law. In summary, this law provides that upon written petition of the chief executive officer of a university campus the Attorney General or State's Attorney is authorized to institute civil proceedings in the Circuit Court to enjoin the preparation for sale, sale, advertising for sale, or offering for sale of academic papers.
