Forest, it is necessary to explore the coal reserves. He explained
that this would be done, if approved by the Board, at the initial cost
of Arch Mineral Corporation. The Finance Committee is, therefore,
recommending approval of this action to determine if the problem
presented to the Board at its March 6 meeting can be resolved possibly
by the exchange of properties. Mr. Rose so moved. Mr. Sturgill
stated that he highly supported the recommendation. In his opinion,
it is a move in the proper direction for the University. He seconded
Mr. Rose's motion for approval and it passed. (See FCR 6 at the end
of the Minutes.)
