       He asked the members to peruse the other items in the report at their
leisure.

       As a part of the President's report and an effort to keep the Board
members apprised of major activities in the University, President Wethington
said that he had put a report on the University of Kentucky Lucille Parker
Markey Cancer Center on the agenda. He recognized Dr. Ben Roach, an
individual who has been largely responsible for the major fundraising
efforts that led to the facilities which comprise the current Cancer
Center. Dr. Roach was asked to stand and be recognized, following which he
received a round of applause. He then asked Chancellor Holsinger to
introduce Dr. Kenneth A. Foon, Director of the Lucille Parker Markey Cancer
Center and Chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology in the College
of Medicine.

       Dr. Holsinger expressed pleasure in introducing Dr. Kenneth A. Foon.
He said that Dr. Foon has done an outstanding job in the short time that he
has been with the University and asked him to report on the Markey Cancer
Center.
