    V.   Room and Board Rates 1983-84 School Year (FCR 5)

    Mr. Clay called on Vice Chancellor Blanton who explained
through a series of charts the current and proposed room and
board rates and the amount of increase for each plan. For the
benefit of the newly appointed Trustees, Vice Chancellor Blanton
explained that the Housing and Dining System at the University
receives no state funds and is entirely self-supporting.   He told
the Trustees that the average 5 percent increase in room and
board rates is necessary in order to meet the higher operating
costs and financial demands of the Housing and Dining System.
The proposed adjustments result primarily from increased labor,
food, and utility costs.  In closing, Vice Chancellor Blanton
reported that increases in the University's cost of operating the
Housing and Dining System over a five-year period were maintained
at slightly less than increases in the Consumer Price Index.   He
reminded the Trustees that the proposed increase has been shared
with student groups and published in the Kernel.

    Mr. Clay said the Finance Committee, along with the Board of
Trustees, wished to compliment Vice Chancellor Blanton and his
staff for the excellent manner in which the Housing and Dining
System is handled. He then moved that the adjusted room and
board rates recommended in FCR 5 be approved. Mr. Clay's motion
was seconded by Mr. McCowan.  It carried with one dissenting vote
by Mr. Dinkle.  (See FCR 5 at the end of the Minutes.)
