Mr. Green will succeed Director Vernon L. Kretschmer who is retiring from the University.

The Vice President for Planning and Allocation concurs in this appointment.

(6) The Chancellor at Chicago Circle has reported that Arnold Grobman, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, has asked to be relieved of his administrative assignments as of August 31, 1974. After consultation with the Senate Council and the deans of the collegiate units, the Chancellor has recommended that George Magner, Professor and Associate Director of the Jane Addams School of Social Work, be appointed Acting Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs effective September 1, 1974, at an annual rate of $39,000. The Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination endorses this recommendation. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, this appointment was approved. Appointment of Dean, College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, Chicago Circle

(7) On June 19, 1974, the Board of Trustees approved a proposal that the School of Physical Education at the Chicago Circle campus become the College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. 1 Subsequently, the Chancellor consulted with the Executive Committee of the School concerning the appointment of the first dean of the new college. The Executive Committee has advised the Chancellor that the interest of the new College and the campus would be best served by the appointment of Dr. Sheldon Fordham, presently Director of the School of Physical Education. The Chancellor recommends that Dr. Fordham be appointed dean effective September 1, 1974, at an annual rate of $29,000. Dr. Fordham will continue to hold the rank of Professor of Physical Education for Men on indefinite tenure. This recommendation is endorsed by the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination. I concur.

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

This proposal was subject to approval of the Board of Higher Education. Accordingly, this designation of a Dean of the College is contingent upon that approval.
