         "The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky joins
     with President Singletary in supporting the Council on Higher

     and most pressing problem of the University is the financial
     crisis which it now confronts. President Singletary has worked
     hard to obtain recognition of the University's needs before the
     Council on Higher Education while simultaneously having to deal
     with the impact of educational budget reductions. The Board
     expresses its appreciation to the President for these efforts,
