BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 15

While all Trustees expressed support for the aims of the Food for Century Three proposal, some expressed concern that it might serve to dilute support for other high-priority University projects or divert funds from University or other state agencies. It was pointed out that the proposed system of financing, using the Agricultural Premium Fund to make annual payments on a special issue of bonds, was in accordance with the intended use of that fund — for the advancement of agriculture in the state of Illinois. The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Conlon, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Volgman; no, none. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, Mr. Forsyth; absent, Governor Walker.
