    F. Establishment of Board of Student Publications

    Dr. Oswald requested permission not to follow the agenda since he wished
the Governor to be present for the discussion of certain specific items. The
permission being granted, he distributed copies of the following report:


         ESTABLISHMENT OF BOARD OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

Recommendation: (1) that the Board of Trustees rescind its present policy which
places the responsibility for student publications with the School of Journalism;
and (2) that the Board of Trustees authorize the President to establish a Student
Publications Board with representation from students, faculty, and administration
which will have responsibility for editorial and financial policy of student publica-
tions and for personnel operating the campus-wide student publications, the
Kernel and the Kentuckian.

Background: The change in the organizational structure proposed for student
publications is recommended in response to the findings of the Student Personnel
Advisory Committee and the expressed wishes of interested students and faculty
to create an organizational structure more responsive to and representative of
the needs of the University. With the proposed organizational change, a Board
of approximately six students, three faculty, and three members-at-large drawn
from the faculty, administration, alumni, and professional journalists will
participate as a Board in the formulation of policies for the student publications
which will assure a strong and vigorous Kernel and Kentuckian. While the School
of Journalism will no longer be responsible for the Kernel and the Kentuckian
under this recommendation, the continued use of student publications as a basis
for a journalism practicum is planned. The faculty of the School of Journalism
is in agreement with these recommendations.
