       7. A baseball-testing machine designed by a team of UK mechanical engineering
          seniors shut out 34 other teams from engineering schools across the Midwest
          to win first place at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Regional
          Design Competition held last month in Evansville, Indiana. This is the kind
          of competition that really makes students feel like they are a part of the
          organization and that they are doing exciting things.

       8. Two UK professors have been selected for American Council on Education
          (ACE) Fellowships. Lori Gonzalez, College of Allied Health Professions and
          Deneese Jones, College of Education and The Graduate School, will be going
          away for a year to work with leaders in other institutions.

       9. UK increases life insurance benefits for employees. The basic life insurance
          benefit will increase from $7,500 to $10,000 for all regular full-time
          employees on July 1, 2002.

      President Todd mentioned the other good things in his report and asked the Board
to peruse them.

      He mentioned the following two items that had come up since his report was
written:

       1. UK College of Medicine is the exclusive site chosen to conduct the first Phase
          I clinical research trial for a new investigational smallpox vaccine for the
          Department of Defense. It is significant that the University has been asked to
          participate in this project during this period of bio-terrorism. The University
          has received favorable coverage from almost all of the major news
          organizations. This is a very significant contribution that the University is
          making to the cause of the country at this point in time.

      2. David Hawpe, Courier-Journal columnist, wrote an article about UK on the
          op-ed page of the Courier-Journal this past Sunday. The article is about UK
          students putting together a solar car. UK is the only Southeastern Conference
          school participating in this competition. President Todd mentioned the
          brochure that he had distributed. He encouraged the Board to make donations
          because the students are trying to raise $90,000.

      F.    President's Work-Life Retreat

      President Todd reported on the Commission on the Status of Women headed by
Professor Carolyn Bratt. The Commission is having a retreat and invitations have been
sent to the Board. While helping the Lexington City Government, Professor Bratt read an
article about Work-Life and got the idea for the Commission to have a retreat. They are
calling it the President's Work-Life Retreat. Deans and quite a select group of people
have been invited to attend this retreat. Jennifer Swanberg, a national Work-Life expert
