       Through a series of slides, Dr. Foon gave a brief overview of the
Markey Cancer Center. He commented on the various buildings and the Cancer
Center organizational structure. He noted that the Cancer Center represents
the entire Medical Center, interacting with all of the different
disciplines. It is not just for the Medical School. There are basic
scientists in the Combs Building and throughout the campus who are members
of the Cancer Center, using the research resources and their core support.
The Markey Cancer Center serves as a focus to draw all of the groups
together. He reported that there is an internal and external advisory board
and a McDowell Cancer Research Foundation which Dr. Ben Roach heads. He
reviewed a number of the accomplishments since his arrival in January 1993
and mentioned some of the outstanding programs in the Center. He also
elaborated on the following topics:

       New Recruits Since 1993
       IRB Approved Studies by Sponsor
       Anti-Idiotype Vaccine Program
       Benchmarks in Progress 1993-95
       Grant Support
       Targets for Future Development
       Special Programs and Services
       Matrix Organization
       Cancer Control Program Activities 1993-94

       In closing, he said that one of his missions is to recover a National
Cancer Institute designated cancer center grant which was lost a number of
years ago. He expressed appreciation for the support from the University
and the community.

       President Wethington said that Dr. Foon's recruitment is certainly a
major part of the success of the Cancer Center. He thanked Dr. Foon for
making the report to the Board.

       F.    Personnel Actions (PR 2)

       President Wethington recommended that approval be given to the
attached appointments, actions and/or other staff changes which require
Board action; and that the report relative to appointments and/or changes
already approved by the administration be accepted. Mrs. Weinberg moved
approval. Her motion, seconded by Mrs. Bell, passed. (See PR 2 at the end
of the Minutes.)

       G.    Proposal to add Community College Student to the Board of
Trustees

       President Wethington said that T. A. Jones had announced his
resignation from the presidency of the Student Government Association. By
Student Government Association rules, his position of Student Government
Association President is taken by his vice president, Benny Ray Bailey, II.
He recognized Mr. Bailey and the students from some of the community
colleges who were in the audience, and they received a round of applause.
