       President Wethington recommended that the Board of Trustees
approve the name Helen Garrett Allied Health Center for the Allied
Health Center which is to be shared jointly with the Western Kentucky
State Vocational Technical School and Paducah Community College. He
stated that the recommendation is highly appropriate since Miss
Garrett had been a member of the Senate of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky. She was the moving force in working with the Paducah
community and the General Assembly in getting the new facility
approved for Paducah Community College. The motion was made by Dr.
Meriwether, seconded by Professor Rhoads, and passed. (See PR 4A at

Byars' credentials and stressed that she is a faculty member who
understands both the campus world and the external world. He stated
that he was pleased to make the recommendation and that he hoped her
appointment would symbolize the opportunities available to women at
the University of Kentucky.
