     ** In computing years of service, only years of continuous service shall
     be counted, except where a leave of absence, approved by the Board of Trustees
     or its Executive Committee is of record. When an approved leave is for em-
     ployment other than by the University and when the absence is in excess of one
     year, the years of absence in excess of 1 shall not be counted in determining
     the supplement, except by specific agreement at the time the leave is taken.
     In all cases the period of service shall be computed to the nearest half year.


         Following the presentation of the Resolution, Dr. Oswald expressed ap-
preciation on behalf of the administration to Mr. Smith and the Trustees, indicating
that it was a historic moment for the University. Probably more than any other
single thing it will enable the University to do a better job of recruiting and re-
taining outstanding faculty members, It was made possible by the inclusion of
the necessary money in the state appropriation and the passage of Senate Bill
232.

    On motion by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Foster, and passed unanimously,
the Resolution presented above was adopted.


         L. Interim Report on Parking Study

         Dr, Oswald called attention to copies of the Interim Progress Report
on Parking Study, which is given below:


              INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT ON PARKING STUDY

        A complete survey of all existing University spaces has been completed
and their number and location recorded on a map prepared for that purpose.

        A parking questionnaire has been distributed to every University employee
in order to determine the number of persons in each building requiring parking
in each classification.  These questionnaires will be collected on April 8 and the
information tallied and recorded on the above mentioned map.

        On the basis of this information the campus will be divided into sectors
and all existing spaces will be classified according to the demand for each
classification in that sector.  Once the reclassification is completed it will be
possible to accurately determine the areas of greatest excess demand and establish
the location of the first, second, or third parking structures as well as their
recommended capacity and type of operation.

        At the same time a review of parking studies already published and the
construction and operation of facilities at other universities is under way.

        Finally, a detailed analysis of vehicular access to and from the proposed
parking structure locations is in progress.
