Head Football Coach, Urbana (4) T h e Board of Directors of the University of Illinois Athletic Association a t Urbana-Champaign has approved the recommendation of the Director of the Athletic Association that Gary O. Moeller, presently assistant coach and defensive coordinator at the University of Michigan, be appointed Head Football Coach effective December 3, 1976, on a twelve-month basis, at an annual salary of $35,000, based on a five-year contract. During the period December 3, 1976, through January 2, 1977, Mr. Moeller will be on leave without salary at the request of the University of Michigan so that he can coordinate the Michigan defensive units' practice and participation in the Rose Bowl on January 1, 1977. In accordance with the Bylaws of the Athletic Association, the Board of D i rectors of the Athletic Association served as the search committee for this appointment. With the concurrence of the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, the recommendation that Mr. Moeller be appointed Head Football Coach has been publicly announced by the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association. The action is now submitted to the Trustees for approval. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . H a h n , t h i s a p p o i n t m e n t w a s a p p r o v e d .
