       Dr. Bosomworth continued that Dr. 'William R. Willard has been a
leader at the state and national level in the provision of primary care and it
is most fitting that the new department carry his name. Dr. Willard, who
was present at the meeting, was recognized by Mr. Clay and received a round
of applause from the Board members.

       On motion by Mr. Alverson, seconded by Mr. Goss, and passed, the
establishment of the William R. Willard Department of Family Practice was
authorized and approved. (See PR 8 at the end of the Minutes. )


       P. Amendment to Section IV of the Governing Regulations

       At the January 19, 1971 meeting of the Board of Trustees, a proposed
amendment to Section IV of the Governing Regulations was presented by
President Singletary with his recommendation that it be approved after the
required month between presentation and action had elapsed. Mr. Clay called
for a motion to bring the motion off the table. Mr. Steve Bright moved
adoption of the proposed amendment to Section IV of the Governing Regulations
as presented at the January 19, 1971 meeting of the Board of Trustees. His
motion was seconded by Mr. George Griffin.

       Mr. Thomas Bell then moved to amend Mr. Bright's motion, stating
that since the January 19 meeting he had given much thought to the matter, had
discussed it at length with members of the Board of Trustees, the adminis-

were a number of issues with which he was in complete agreement, such as the
concept of a wider participation of students in the Senate. The idea of an

him inasmuch as this would make it possible for the student voice to be balanced
and diverse. In order to obtain responsible student representatives, he felt that
students elected to the Senate should be upperclassmen and should be in good

       Mr. Bell's own thinking, plus his conviction that the amendment to
Section IV of the Governing Regulations as presently before the Board would not
pass, prompted him, therefore, to move that Mr. Bright's motion for adoption
of the proposed amendment to Section IV be amended. He then read the amend-
ment to the proposed amendment, a copy of which is included at the end of the
Minute s .

       His motion was seconded by Mr. Cooper. In the discussion that followed,
Mr. Bright indicated that it was as apparent to him as to Mr. Bell that the pro-
posed original amendment would not pass in its original form and it was with
some regret and disappointment that he acceded to the changes in the January 19
amendment as recommended by Mr. Bell. Dr. Sears, speaking for himself and
