Annual Report of the Treasurer (24) In accordance with the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees, the Treasurer of the University has submitted a report of receipts and disbursements of University funds in his custody for the period March 1, 1975, to February 29, 1976, certified by the Comptroller.

Report of Recent Senate Action (Policy on ROTC Credit, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Urbana) (25) Since the fall of 1972, the policy of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) at the Urbana campus has been to allow no credit toward graduation for ROTC courses unless the courses were cross-listed within an academic department and were taught by an accredited member of the University faculty holding an appointment in an academic department of a college of the University. However, cross-listing had not been attained for any course. To achieve consistency and equity, in December 1975, a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences ad hoc Committee on ROTC Credit recommended: 1. That a maximum of 6 hours of credit toward graduation in LAS be granted for ROTC courses, excluding 100-level courses; 2. That R O T C courses for which complete or partial LAS credit will be given shall be designated by the Committee on Course Approval of the Military Education Council in accordance with established procedures of the council; 3. That this policy be made retroactive on election by the student, for LAS students currently enrolled in R O T C programs. These recommendations, which are to be reviewed by the College Executive Committee in the spring semester of 1977, have now been approved by the faculty of the college, the Urbana Senate, the Chancellor at the Urbana campus, and the President. This report was received for record. SECRETARY'S REPORT The Secretary presented for record appointments to the faculty and changes of status made by the President, resignations, leaves of absence, and retirements.
