590 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 14 President Neal expressed the thanks of the Board for the extensive orientation provided by the staff at Dixon Springs and emphasized the support and encouragement for that work by the Trustees and the administrative officers. He recognized Dr. Clarence J. Kaiser, Director of the Center, who introduced the members of the staff present at the meeting. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY President's Reports 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. Operating Budget, 1977 President Corbally spoke briefly on the present status of legislation for appropriations, indicating that it was too early to make a judgment as to State resources and expenditures, but that useful discussions had been conducted with some of the legislative leaders. Mr. Howard reported on the actions of the Board of Higher Education: to comply with the Governor's request that it produce an allocation plan widiin the Governor's recommendations — but to emphasize as well that Board's insistence upon the validity of its budget recommendations. OLD BUSINESS Report of the Committee on Student Welfare and Activities Mrs. Shepherd presented the following report of the committee based upon action taken a t its meeting on April 13, 1976: O n September 17, 1975, on the recommendation of this committee, the Board of Trustees established a procedure, on an experimental basis, by which the student trustees were permitted to cast an advisory vote on roll call items. The procedure was to be reviewed after a six-month period. T h e committee has evaluated the experiment and believes it to have been a useful and valuable practice. Not the least of the considerations leading to this favorable review has been the exemplary quality of trusteeship demonstrated by the student trustees. Accordingly, the committee approved on April 13, 1976, the following motion and recommends its approval by the Board of Trustees: T h a t the student trustees have an advisory vote at the Board of Trustees' meetings. The student trustees' advisory votes will be recorded first by the Secretary on roll call votes. This action is not to be interpreted as an indication that the Trustees have taken a position in favor of granting student trustees the right to cast votes officially. O n motion of M r . Summers, the committee recommendations were approved.
