had been received requesting that the Board of Trustees disapprove the action
of the Executive Committee on March 12, 1976, respecting the appointment
of the Dean of the College of Law, Mr. Clay suggested that the minutes of the

Appointment of the Dean of the College of Law.

      Mr. John Crockett moved that the reading of the Minutes be dispensed
with and that the Minutes be approved as published excluding Section I. His
motion was seconded by Mr. Frank Ramsey and passed.
