one project involving five buildings on the Lexington campus. He

     K. Proposed Amendments to the Governing Regulations (PR 8)

     Noting that the proposed amendments to the Governing Regulations
would bring certain of them into conformance with present practices,
President Singletary recommended that the proposed amendments be
received and tabled for action at the next regularly scheduled meeting
of the Board. Mr. Black so moved. His motion was seconded by Mr.
Homer Ramsey, and passed without dissent. (See PR 8 at the end
of the Minutes.)

     L.  Directions Regarding KRS 164.475 (PR 9)

     Stating that he hoped the action recommended in PR 9 would
not be considered as an act of rebellion'on the part of the University
but rather would be interpreted as an indication that the professional
schools should be permitted to perform the roles they are supposed
to perform, President Singletary recommended that the Board direct
the University administration to refrain from any attempt to implement,
enforce or apply the provisions of Section 164.475 of the Kentucky
Revised Statutes in its present form, unless and until ordered to
do so by a court of competent jurisdiction after all rights of appeal
are exhausted.

     At the President's request, Dr. Bosomworth explained that
the College of Medicine was aware of the needs of medically under-
served areas in the state and that the admission process has given
priority to the geographic location of applicants as one of the criteria
for acceptance. Last year more applicants were accepted from rural
areas than from urban areas in spite of the fact that there were
more applicants from the latter. He continued that the University
is working closely with the Legislative Research Commission, as
well as with state and community groups such as the Municipal League
and the Department of Human Resources to help recruit health service
personnel for underserved areas.

     On metion tV Governor Chandler, seccnded bv Mr. Ti4chenor and
passed, the recommendation in PR 9 was aDproved.   (See PR 9 at the
end of the Minutes.)
