Mr. Bell moved to strike the words "increase or" so that the sentence should
read: "In the event of an appeal, the President may decrease the punishment
imposed by the Appeals Board". His motion was seconded by Dr. Sears and
all present voted in favor of the motion.


        D. Hearing Committee Report

        Mr. Bell reported that since the last meeting of the Board of Trustees
the committee appointed to hear requests from individuals wishing to appear
before the Trustees had held a hearing at which three people appeared---Mrs.
June Griffin, Mr. Don Pratt, and Mr. Michael Campbell. Mrs. Griffin was
the only one of the three who still wished to appear before the Board.

       A copy of Mrs. Griffin's statement was in each member's folder and
Mr. Griffin said in the committee's opinion this document was a clear
statement of her position and the committee believed it was unnecessary for
Mrs. Griffin to appear in person to present this same material. On motion by
Governor Chandler, seconded by Dr. Nicholas, and passed, the committee
report and the recommendation relative to Mrs. Griffin's request to appear
before the Board were received and ordered filed.

       Mr. Campbell's statement had also been submitted in written form and
a copy was made available in each member's folder. Mr. Bell recommended
that this statement be received and ordered filed. It was so moved by Governor
Chandler, seconded by Mr. Wright, and passed without dissent.

       Mr. Pratt did not submit a written statement and Mr. Bell read Mr.
Pratt's letter (copy at the end of the Minutes) requesting an appearance before
the Board and added the following points which Mr. Pratt had brought up when
he appeared before the committee:

       1. That the public be given prior notice of actions to be taken
           by the Board;
           (Note: News media receives copy of Agenda prior to meeting)

       2. That closed circuit TV of the basketball games be provided;
           (Note: The University is currently negotiating a contract
           for this service)

       3.  That the operation of the Bookstore be investigated;

       4. That students and faculty be hired as consultants in order to
           involve them in the administration of the University;

       5.  That funds be sought to provide additional help for the blind
           and deaf ---such as a Braille dictionary in the Library;



6. That the Student Code be eliminated completely.
