       In order to lessen the time of the meeting and thus permit
Board members to attend the inauguration of Governor Wallace Wilkinson
in Frankfort, President Roselle did not review the items in his

He suggested that the Trustees might wish to read it at a later date
and recommended that the report be accepted.   Without objection, it
was so ordered.
