    C.   Minutes Approved

    Mr. Sturgill stated that the University Senate's resolution
on Robinson Forest which was accepted by the Board at its meeting
on March 1, 1983 should have been made a part of the Minutes.
President Singletary then asked the Trustees to insert the
addendum, copies of which were distributed to the Board, in the
Minutes of the March 1, 1983 meeting.   After accepting the
correction, the Board approved the Minutes of the March 1, 1983
meeting of the Board of Trustees and the Minutes of the March 10,
1983 Special Called Meeting of the Executive Committee.

    D.   University Research Professorships (PR 3D)

    President Singletary reordered the agenda so that he could
introduce faculty members who had afternoon classes.   He said
that with much pleasure he was recommending approval of three
University Research Professorships for 1983-84 to be awarded in
recognition of outstanding research achievements to Professor
Mary Sue Coleman, Department of Biochemistry; Professor Steven C.
Ferry, Department of Mathematics; and Professor John T.
Shawcross, Department of English. Professor Wagner so moved.
His motion was seconded by Mr. Larry Jones and passed
unanimously. The recipients were asked to stand and be
recognized, following which they were given a round of applause.
(See PR 3D at the end of the Minutes.)

    E.   President's Report to the Trustees (PR 1)

    President Singletary reviewed briefly some of the items in
his monthly report to the Trustees, copies of which were
distributed earlier.   He then recommended that the report be
accepted and, without objection, it was so ordered.

    F,   Personnel Actions (PR 2)

    After noting that the personnel actions in PR 2 were routine
in nature, President Singletary recommended its approval.    On
motion by Mr. Black and second by Mrs. Hayes, the appointments
and staff changes recommended in PR 2 were approved.    (See PR 2
at the end of the Minutes.)

    G.   Supplemental Recommendations of the President (PR 3A)

    President Singletary indicated his pleasure in recommending
the appointment of Professor Edgar L. Sagan as Dean of the
College of Education. He called on Chancellor Gallaher who
reviewed Dr. Sagan's experience and credentials and said he was
pleased to endorse President Singletary's recommendation.
