(4)  That the title Dean of the Community College System be
            changed to Vice President--Community College System and
            that Dr. Ellis F. Hartford be appointed to that position,
            effective immediately.

       President Singletary said that, if approved, the changes recommended
above would involve no new funding. He continued that Dr. Albright's value to
the University and to the administrative team could not be overemphasized and
that he would be able to make an even greater contribution in his new role.
Stating that he felt the person responsible for the Community Colleges warranted
a title comparable to others with similar responsibilities, President Singletary
said he was sorry that Dr. Hartford would be able to retain the title for only a
brief period of time because of 'calendar problems" which would necessitate
his retirement from an administrative position on July 1, 1970. Dr. Hartford
has been largely responsible for the growth of the Community College System and
he deserves this recognition of his efforts, if only for a brief time.

      Governor Chandler moved that the recommendations made by President
Singletary for changes in the central administration as set forth in PR 8 be ap-
proved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hillenmeyer, and passed unanimously.
