Chapter 30 & Chapter 1606 Verification
If you are a Chapter 30 or 1606 recipient, you must verify your enrollment each month. This can be accomplished in one of two ways and is done on the last day of each month while you are in school:
Connect to the VA's website at www.gibill.va.gov and follow the link to the Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) program. Enter your first and last name in the appropriate blocks, your Social Security Number (minus the dashes) and your password. The first time you use the WAVE use the last 6 digits of your SSN. Once you enter into the WAVE it will prompt you for a new password.
Click on the link Verify Monthly Enrollment Status. Check to see your registration status:
For Undergraduate Students:
Full time enrollment is 12 hours or more 3/4 time enrollment is 11 to 9 hours 1/2 time enrollment is 8 to 6 hours Less than half time enrollment is 5 or fewer hours For Graduate Students:
Full time enrollment is 9 hours or more 3/4 time enrollment is 8 to 6 hours 1/2 time enrollment is 5 to 4 hours
Note 1: The UNK Veterans Services will not change your hours if you still fall within a certain enrollment level. (For example: if you are 3/4 time at 10 hours and drop a 1 hour class we will not make a change to St. Louis because you are still 3/4 time.)
Note 2: If the WAVE has you listed at full time enrollment and you are really ¾ enrollment, DO NOT MAKE CHANGES-DO NOT VERIFY. Contact the UNK Veterans Services Office. If you make changes on the WAVE they will stop your payments.
The WAVE offers many options for changing information such as password, email address, and direct deposit information. If you use the email option be sure you keep your email address up to date.
Phone Option:
The second way to verify is by telephone. If your enrollment has not changed during the month call 1-877-823-2378 on a touch-tone phone.

Mountain Lion UI Lag on rMBP !!! (Let's Make this thread serious and hope for a fix)
I posted here before regarding a solution offered (delete two files and PRAM reset). It worked for a while. Everything was considerably better. Then lagging started again. I usually have around 10 applications with multiple windows open on each.
Every time I restart my computer, it's fine. I open Mail. It's fine. I open Webkit. It's fine. A few more applications, then it starts lagging.
I did a SMC reset. It looked good afterwards. Maybe I thought so (?)
Then I set "Open in Low Resolution" for some applications including Skype, MS Excel, Contacts, Mail, Activity monitor, etc.. Resolution is not very important for me on those applications.
System feels better than ever now.
Famous "expanding the contacts app window using green (plus) button" works smoothly at last. I now understand how much I missed my old non retina MBP smoothness.

Just wanted to add my voice here aswell, as I am facing the same problems as most of you. Choppiness and lag. I tried playing world of warcraft and I can play with up to 90-100 fps one day, and another day I can play with 10-20 fps. A reboot won´t help at all..
I have the 15-inch with 256GB ssd and 8GB RAM. Retina ofc.

The problem you are discussing is different then what this thread is about. Your problem is caused by the bad EFI update 2.0. You can do an SMC reset which will temporarily fix this problem. This thread is about the lag and choppiness in the UI such as Mission Control.

For the browser the lag problem seems to be finally fixed!

Thanks for that update. Safari works much better on my rMBP and my "test" MB Air.
This also supports my viewpoint that this is very much related to the UI of Mountain Lion and not specifically to the rMBP.
If only Apple releases an update to fix the choppines in Mail and other apps.

I have the same issues with my 13 inch retina pro... the UI is anything but snappy or fast, and I'm not talking video editing. Simple tasks like Mission Control, switching between full screen apps, scrolling through mail, etc. - just come with a huge lag. My last machine was a mid 2009 15 inch MBP, I loved it. After the rMBP came out, I thought now it's time to switch. I ordered the 13 inch rMBP with the i5, as I didn't plan to use it for processor heavy tasks. I write and read a lot, so I thought the i5 would do. Wrong! In my opinion the performance of the i5 configuration is a serious joke for a laptop with this price tag. Honestly, if you plan on doing a little scrolling or zooming, get another laptop! On the other hand, I completely fell in love with the build quality of the machine (which is absolutely fantastic) so I decided to take the i5 back to the store and upgrade to the i7. Now, good things first: there is a considerable difference. However, the UI lag is far from gone! I have to say, it makes me kind of sad that Apple throws an extremely high priced laptop on the market (in a presentation full of "Awesome", "Outstanding", "Fantastic", "Georgeous", ...) and the performance - and I want to stress that I'm using my rMBP for reading and writing more than anything - just *****. Sorry to be that blunt. I just can't understand by any means that this machine has made it through product testing and I'm going to say the infamous sentence here: "This would have never happened under ...". Anyway, I hope this thread really get's attention and Apple is working on a fix. After the release of the last WebKit update, which truly bumps Safari performance significantly, there's at least hope that there is one.

Also my voice goes here, too! **** it Apple! I love my RMBP 15" but over 4 months after buying it and still UI lags a lot. On a machine that's powerful enough to outrun Mac Pro in some tests...
Yesterday I've worked on old (!!!) friend's MacBook Pro 17" from 2010. The UI was so unbelievably smooth that I'm really sad now. If OS X wasn't prepared for such high resolution they shouldn't have released Retina MacBook Pros in the first place.

The Australian government has just released new health guidelines that say kids can no longer blow out candles on cakes at school – because it spreads too many germs.
As could be expected, many parents are angry, saying the new rules take all the fun out of being a kid.
One mom complained by saying, "Kids have been playing in sand pits for years. Kids have been playing in dirt for years. Kids have also been sharing toys for years. These so-called experts won't be happy until kids are kept in a sterile environment."

Personalized treatments for people with back pain and spine disorders
Published: Dec. 9, 2010
Updated: Dec. 9, 2010
Spinal cord trauma occurs when there is an injury to the spinal cord caused by fracture or dislocation of the spinal column or disc rupture.
There are many different causes of spinal cord injury including:
The symptoms may include weakness, paralysis, breathing difficulties, loss of bowel or bladder function, and pain.
Your physician will perform a physical examination, as well as order a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan to confirm the presence of the injury.
When someone suffers from a spinal cord trauma, it is a medical emergency. It is very important that they seek medical attention immediately following the injury.
Upon arrival to the hospital, the patient will receive treatments to try and prevent further damage to the spinal cord.
Depending on the type of trauma and severity of the spinal cord injury, the patient may need surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and restore stability to the spinal column.

Thanks. We had another huge blast on Sunday after a relatively quiet week, and now it is building another dome--which builds pressure until it blows its stack.
We had a 4.6 earthquake (unrelated to Redoubt) around lunchtime today. It shook the building we're in pretty good, but luckily it stopped after 7-8 seconds. They weren't so lucky in central Italy a few days ago.
I dunno why I get the evil "queued" message. You've probably seen this anyway, but I thought it was great...

To help you better manage your health, Web professionals and medical experts work side by side to ensure the accuracy, relevance and usefulness of this site's information and tools.
The product development team consists of experts in content development and production, product management, and user experience and design. Because physicians, scientists and other medical experts dedicate a portion of their clinical time to this site, we are in the unique position to give you access to the knowledge and experience of Mayo Clinic.
All content produced by our product development team, except for the drug and supplement databases, is original. Original content that this product development policy applies to includes:
We create original content to convey these attributes:
The information we publish is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice. It is not intended to be used for medical diagnosis or treatment. The service is presented for the sole purpose of disseminating health information. We recommend that you always request the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider before starting any new treatment or with any questions you may have regarding your health or medical condition.
Our content team consists of communication professionals who have academic training in journalism, creative writing, health education or related fields. Editors have at least five years of publishing experience. Our product management team consists of professionals who have academic training in health or behavioral sciences, business, technology or related fields. Our user experience and design team applies expert knowledge of user-centered research and design methods to visual and interaction design.
In addition to the product development team, we retain a pool of experienced freelancers to supplement the work of our staff. All freelance work adheres to the same product development policy and procedures as does that of the staff.
The specialty medical editors who have dedicated time to work with us are predominantly active Mayo Clinic clinicians and faculty members at Mayo Medical School, at the associate professor or professor level.
Regardless of the format, our products are the result of a standardized process for research, design and development. The product development team collects and reacts to ideas from a variety of sources. Content and product managers prioritize development of new content based on user and business needs. The environment at Mayo Clinic is rich with educational opportunities that keep our physicians and our content and product managers current with the latest developments.
Our editors keep an eye on breaking medical news worldwide, reading broadly and gathering periodically for product planning meetings. Our editorial research department monitors medical publications, databases and online resources for ideas and trends. We also conduct regular user research to determine the needs of our target audiences.
Editorial research. After the team agrees on the topic of a content piece, our writers, assisted by editorial researchers, search medical journals and medical texts to gather best-available source information for the topic. Our writers may also interview Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists who have special interest and expertise in the subject for source material. Often these individuals are authorities in their fields.
The team follows a standardized procedure for selecting, documenting and verifying best-available medical literature, and storing references. Specific content verified includes statistics, guidelines and recommendations, and changes in prevailing thought or standard practice. As a demonstration of Mayo Clinic's commitment to excellence, acknowledging the available knowledge and providing transparency to site users, we display these sources as "References" on pages containing original content.
Medical review. Under the direction of the product development team, Mayo Clinic medical experts contribute to and review for accuracy all original, medically related information that is published by our product development team. Each year hundreds of Mayo Clinic medical specialists participate in reviewing content, serving as sources and contributing the valuable perspective of practicing medical professionals.
At least three physicians or other subject matter experts review all new content for medical accuracy. By the time content reaches the final-draft stage, it reflects the contributions of writers, editors and medical editors. Final drafts represent a consensus of Mayo Clinic knowledge and opinion and do not carry the attribution of a single author. Blogs and editor's note are exceptions. Because this content reflects the opinion of its author, we attribute it to the author.
Medical editors make final judgments on issues of medical accuracy. When there are legitimate differing points of view or there is not enough evidence to make a sound recommendation, we tell users this and guide them through the issues.
We also carefully qualify information because no one set of instructions or recommendations applies to every person. Interactive tools that allow us to gather basic information about an individual enable us to tailor the delivery of content based on the information gathered. We avoid a prescriptive, personal recommendation that can only be made by a health care professional who is caring for the person.
Continuous review and updates. To help ensure the accuracy and reliability of our content, we adhere to a continuous review policy. This means that the product development team systematically monitors developments in the health categories in which we publish. Our team of editors regularly reviews the medical literature, the health news and other media for developments in angle or scope. The medical editors help identify medical developments and work with the content team to prioritize the updates.
As we identify significant changes or advances, we reflect them in an updated version of the content as soon as possible. Scheduled updates of our original content occur at least every two years. Exceptions to this biennial review include blogs and healthy recipes. We review blogs as necessary. We review healthy recipes as necessary in response to user feedback and on a scheduled rotation cycle.
Writers suggest links from individual pieces of content to other Web sites as part of the development process. Editors and medical editors review all links as part of the medical review process. We include external links on a case-by-case basis for information only and not as an endorsement of the sites. In general, we publish external links to major medical associations and to government and some nonprofit Web sites.
For links to MayoClinic.com, we provide these guidelines:
Guidelines for sites linking to MayoClinic.com
All members of the product development team are required to disclose any financial interests or other commercial relationships that may be in conflict with their work for Mayo Clinic. We require managers to request disclosure from their employees at the time of hire. Management evaluates potential conflicts of interest and decides what steps are necessary to prevent or eliminate them.
Medical experts are also asked to disclose similar relationships to mitigate any appearance of conflict of interest. If medical experts reveal a potential conflict of interest, we don't preclude them as reviewers, but use additional reviewers to ensure an appropriate mix.
When the product development team decides to license content from third parties, our content team and medical editors do a comprehensive review of the market and choose products based on the accuracy and reliability of the information. We also evaluate the product's medical review and updating policy, to ensure that it adheres to our own as closely as possible.
Once we choose a product, we don't review each new and updated file but rely on the credibility of the authors. After publication if, in our medical opinion, there are problems with the information, we will bring those to the attention of the licensor. Our licenses do not permit us to make substantive changes to the content. If, in our opinion, the information is not reliable, we will use our best efforts to have the licensor update the material or we will remove it from our site.
To help offset operational expenses and to generate revenue for medical education and research at Mayo Clinic, we accept funding from third parties who pay to advertise their companies and products on our site. We also accept funding from third parties who wish to sponsor certain areas of the site or to support the development of certain categories of content.
We maintain total editorial independence from advertisers and sponsors. Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over or input into our product development. They also have no influence over the listing of responses to search engine results. Neither advertisers nor sponsors can buy priority listings on our search engine. We don't allow cobranding of our health information.

Informed ConsentPart of communication in medicine involves informed consent for treatment and procedures. This is considered a basic patient right. Informed consent involves the patient's understanding of the following:
Closely associated with informed consent, voluntary consent means that the patient understands these concepts; the patient rights include the following:
A patient must be competent in order to give voluntary and informed consent. Thus, competent consent involves the ability to make and stand by an informed, freely made decision. In clinical practice, competence is often equated with capacity. Decision-making capacity refers to a patient's ability to make decisions about accepting healthcare recommendations. To have adequate decision-making capacity, a patient must understand the options, the consequences associated with the various options, and the costs and benefits of these consequences by relating them to personal values and priorities. Some factors may make a patient incapable of providing competent consent either temporarily or permanently. Examples include the following:
Patients that are judged incompetent (often determined by two independent physicians or in some instances, by a legal decree) can have others legally permitted to make medical decisions for the patient. Must Read Articles Related to Patient Rights

Low-Protein Diet May Extend Lifespan 459
from the suddenly-i-feel-much-healthier dept.
Yeah, judging by the popularity of Gmail, people being concerned with their data being harvested doesn't seem to be a concern at all. I think it was just plain executed badly.
Yeah, I saw my first stink bug in months in my bathroom yesterday, right after hearing about this news. Amusing. I doubt there will be noticeably less of them in the spring.
It's kind of strange that on the same day Canonical is being called out for not being 100% free about everything, another article discusses Google's actions with Android, which is much, much more closed and yet most of Slashdot seemed eager to rush to their defense.
Maybe the author had a cold.
Whatever will we do without your whining? The place just won't be the same without a dozen off-topic childish posts on every topic!
I've used all my mod points on "Offtopic" today. I was fine with the protest until Slashdot responded and opened a discussion area for it. Now, if you want to discuss beta, go to the beta article. Other people who care will be there, too. Maybe you can even effect positive change.
Spamming every single discussion is, quite obviously, now Offtopic and other people with mod points seem to agree with me.
>>The result it that some software turns into a hand-out for companies that, in the long term, are trying to make free software disappear.
> No company is trying to do that, especially not one that is relying on free software for their products.
Apple is.
Their current flagship platform is openly hostile to Free Software and even the concept of open systems where the end user has full control over the hardware.
Near as I can tell, Apple isn't doing anything to try to make Free software disappear. They are, however, creating many alternatives ever since GPLv3 made it unviable for them to continue to participate in that community as much. Even now, though, if you look at all the packages they use and contribute to as part of MacOS X (the core of which is all open source, although most of it isn't Free Software), there are many GPL packages among them: http://www.opensource.apple.co... . It does seem that with companies like Apple actively participating in Open Source but not as actively participating in Free Software, that to a certain degree it's proving many of the anti-GPL folks' points and probably really pissing off RMS.
There is no records of the romans having contact with China.
There are such records. The Bible discusses silk, and the Romans loved it. The Silk Road was established about 1800-1900 years ago to supply the Roman empire with Chinese silk. Later the Romans attempted to breed their own silkworms.
As for extensive pre-Colombian contact, I would assume based on the exchange of plants, animals, metals, disease, and technology, that such contact would stick out in the historical record. In my opinion it's far more likely that the carbon dating was inaccurate or that the interpretation of the plants as American than that extensive pre-Colombian exchange existed.
This attack is not an all-or-nothing thing, either. 51% is just the threshold to be able to guarantee success. Controlling 40% of the mining capacity is enough to be able to double-spend a transaction that's been confirmed 6 times with 50% confidence.
Here's a list of semiconductor manufacturing plants many of which are in the United States, including some of the most advanced fab lines in the world. It's true, as others have said, that assembly almost always happens in Asia now, though, but that's not a requirement if you're not price conscious. As for the capacitors and such, I think there's been less concern about them from a security standpoint.
- Access to affordable birth control. In third world countries, birth control isn't always affordable or easy to come by.
These predictions were made in 1964. "The pill" had just become available for birth control use in the United States a few years previous, but only in some states and only to married women... it wasn't generally available to any woman who wanted it in all states until the early 70's. Maybe it was because he was a male, but not realizing the impact this would have on the (developed) world seems to be one of his bigger oversights.
The real comparison comes in how good the machine is at doing what you need it to do. If you're making a movie or doing serious sound editing, video editing, or modeling, this machine and the accompanying software is clearly top-tier, compared to trying to assemble a full workflow yourself that includes the hardware, software, and infrastructure integration. And the fact that you just order it off the shelf and it comes with everything and integrates with everything isn't really priced into this comparison.
Programmers used to batch environments may find it hard to live without giant listings; we would find it hard to use them. -- D.M. Ritchie

Curriculum Vitae (PDF)
Matthew Adler's substantive areas of expertise include administrative law and constitutional law. Prior to joining the Duke Law faculty in July 2012 he was the Leon Meltzer Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law. He has been a visiting professor at Bar-Ilan University, Columbia University, Duke, the University of Chicago, and the University of Virginia.
Adler's scholarship focuses on three areas: policy analysis, risk regulation, and constitutional theory. He is the author of numerous articles and several books, including New Foundations of Cost-Benefit Analysis (Harvard, 2006; co-authored with Eric Posner); and Well-Being and Fair Distribution: Beyond Cost-Benefit Analysis, which systematically discusses how to integrate considerations of fair distribution into policy analysis (Oxford 2012). Adler is an editor of Legal Theory, the leading journal in the area of law and philosophy. His edited volume, The Rule of Recognition and the U.S. Constitution (Oxford 2009; edited with Ken Himma) is an innovative work at the intersection of jurisprudence and constitutional theory, which discusses the applicability of H.L.A.'s notion of a "rule of recognition" to the U.S. legal system.
Adler was recognized by University of Pennsylvania law students in 2001 and 2006 with the Harvey Levin Memorial Award for Excellence in Teaching. In 2007, he received the University's Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching and in 2010 the A. Leo Levin Award for Excellence in an Introductory Course.
Adler holds a B.A. and J.D. from Yale University, where he was a member of the Yale Law Journal. He also received an M. Litt. in modern history from St. Antony's College at Oxford University, where he was a Marshall Scholar. He clerked for Judge Harry Edwards of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in 1991-1992 and for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor during the 1992-1993 term. Adler practiced litigation at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in New York prior to joining the University of Pennsylvania law faculty in 1995.

Present were all of the members of the Board of Visitors and by invitation the following: Mr. Fred O. Wygal, Executive Administrator; Dr. Francis J. Brooke, Acting Provost, General Academic Division; Dr. R. Blackwell Smith, Provost, Health Sciences Division; Mr. Raymond T. Holmes, Jr., Comptroller, General Academic Division; Mr. L. Daniel Crooks, Vice President, Business and Finance, Health Sciences Division; Mr. Charles P. Cardwell, Vice President, Health Sciences Division, and Mrs. Edna F. Hodges, Secretary to the Executive Administrator. Mr. Dabney served as Chairman of the meeting and Mr. Brent as Secretary thereof. On motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the minutes of the special meeting of the Board of Visitors held on August 26, 1968 were approved in the form distributed to all of the Visitors. Proceeding to Item No. 2 on the Agenda, the Chairman called on Dr. Brooke to present the report of the General Academic Division Dr. Brooke thereupon reported that a cooperative effort was being developed under Title 3, Higher Education Act of 1965, with Randolph Macon College, University of Richmond, Virginia Union University and Virginia Commonwealth pursuant to which various resources of the various Institutions would be pooled to the mutual advantage of all. He also stated that the University had been requested by the Twin Trailer Study Commission constituted by Act of the last General Assembly to study the use of twin trailers in Virginia and that plans were being developed for the study through the School of Business, Economics Department. In connection with attendance, Dr. Brooke reported that 6,450 full time day, degree seeking students were in attendance and that all together, day and night, full time and part time, 10,650 separate students were in attendance. He pointed out that this represented a slight increase in the number recently given to the Executive Committee. He thereupon presented to the meeting memoranda dated September 20, 1968 and September 26, 1968 containing recommendations with respect to the faculty of the General Academic Division. After a discussion thereof, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the faculty matters set forth in the memoranda dated September 20, 1968 and September 26, 1968 presented to the meeting were approved and authorized and the Secretary directed to attach a copy thereof to the minutes of the meeting. Dr. Brooke then reviewed two resolutions which had been adopted by the Executive Committee, one with respect to the use of $50,000 of "local funds" in the construction of the Library Building, and the other with respect to an application for a Federal grant in connection with the construction of the School of Business Building, which resolutions were, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, ratified and affirmed. The Chairman then called on Dr. Smith to present the report of the Health Sciences Division, whereupon he reviewed the number of students in attendance in the Health Sciences Division which he pointed out represented the greatest enrollment ever obtained. Dr. Smith then generally reviewed various gifts and grants which had been received, pointing out that in total amount of grants received the Health Sciences Division held a position of 99 out of approximately 2200 Institutions being in the top 4%. Dr. Smith then asked Mr. Cardwell to explain to the Board the proposed plan with respect to the extension of Leigh Street. Mr. Cardwell then reviewed the proposal in detail with the benefit of visual aids. He also presented to the meeting a memorandum and a copy of a letter dated September 19, 1968 from the Commissioner of Administration of the Commonwealth of Virginia to Mr. Alan F. Kiepper, City Manager of the City of Richmond, which set forth in detail the proposed plan. After a discussion thereof, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the proposed Leigh Street plan as set forth in the foregoing memorandum and letter was approved and authorized and the Secretary directed to attach a copy of the memorandum and letter to the minutes of the meeting. Proceeding with his report, Dr. Smith then presented a -3- memorandum dated September 13, 1968 containing various recommenda- tions with respect to faculty. It was pointed out by Mr. Wayne that the Executive Committee had carefully considered the recommendations therein set forth and recommended their adoption. After a discussion thereof, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the faculty recommendations set forth in the memorandum dated September 13, 1968 were approved and authorized and the Secretary directed to attach a copy thereof to the minutes of the meeting. Dr. Smith then read to the meeting a letter received from Dr. Kinloch Nelson in which Dr. Nelson indicated his intention to resign as Dean effective June 30, 1969. A general discussion then followed, after which it was determined to defer action in connection therewith for the present. A memorandum with respect to the establishment of two Divisions within the Department of Psychiatry was then submitted to the meeting by title with the observation that the recommendation therein contained had been approved by the Executive Committee. Mr. Crooks presented a proposed "Resolution for Exemption of Certain Directors or Officers and Establishment of a Managerial Group" with respect to the handling of top secret material in order that the same might be filed with the Department of Defense. He explained that a similar resolution had been adopted by the Board of the Medical College of Virginia but that in view of the establishment of the University, a new resolution had been requested. After a discussion thereof, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the following resolutions were adopted: WHEREAS, current Department of Defense re- gulations contain a provision making it mandatory that the Chief Executive Officer (President) meet the personnel clearance requirements established for a contractor's facility clearance; and WHEREAS, said Department of Defense regulations permit the exclusion from the personnel clearance requirements of members of the Board of Visitors and other officers who have no need for access to classified information, provided that a managerial group be established to which full authorization is delegated for the group to act with regard to all matters involving the security of classified information in the possession of this organization and provided that this action is recorded in the corporate minutes; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DECLARED, that a managerial group has been established with full authority to act with regard to all matters involving the security of classified information in the possession of this firm; and the said committee shall consist of R. Blackwell Smith, Jr., Provost; John H. Heil, Jr., Vice Provost; L. Daniel Crooks, Vice President, Business and Finance and Security Officer; and Thomas R. Stennett, Jr., Controller - Treasurer; BE IT DECLARED FURTHER, that the members of the managerial group and the Chief Executive Officer (appointment of a President of Virginia Commonwealth University has not been made at the present time) at the present time do possess, or will be processed for, the required security clearance; and BE IT RESOLVED, that in the future, when any individual enters upon any duties as Chief Executive Officer or as a replacement for one of the managerial group such individuals shall immediately make application for the required security clearance; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that other members of the Board of Visitors and other officers who do not require access to classified information in the conduct of the firm's business need not possess a security clearance, but said persons can be effectively denied, and shall not be granted access to, classified information in the possession of the firm and shall not hold any position that would enable them to affect corporate policies or practices in the performance of classified contracts for the Department of Defense. Continuing his report, Mr. Crooks then presented the Report of the Hospital Accounts Committee recommending that 390 accounts amounting to 70,010.25 be charged to indigent service, bad debts, teaching cases and account adjustments, and that 6 accounts in the amount of 2,653 be charged to the Davenport Fund. In this connection, he also presented to the meeting a memorandum setting forth the members of the Hospital Accounts Committee and the procedure which was followed by the Committee in considering accounts. After a discussion of the foregoing, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the recommended charge-offs were approved and authorized in the form recommended by the Hospital Accounts Committee. Mr. Crooks then presented a schedule setting forth a "Summary of Accounts Disposed of by Hospital Accounts" for the fiscal years 1965-66, 1966-67 and 1967-68 in order that the Board might be fully informed in this respect. He also presented to the meeting a schedule entitled "Principal of Investment Funds Held In Trust Accounts Year Ended June 30, 1968" which set forth the principal amount held in various trust accounts together with the annual income to which was attached excerpts from the various trust instruments showing the terms and conditions under which the accounts were held, all for the information of the Visitors. The Executive Administrator then reported in general on the activities of the various sub-committees which were working in connection with the coordination of the activities of the two Divisions and emphasized the importance of the approaching bond issue and described the activities being carried out by friends of the University in support thereof. Mrs. Thalhimer, Chairman of the Student Affairs Committee, reported that her Committee had constituted a special Graphics Design Project Committee with broad representation and explained that the Executive Committee with authorization expressly given by the Board had approved the employment of Schechter & Luth to under- take the graphics design work and had appropriated for this purpose an amount not in excess of 40,000. She generally reviewed what would be accomplished by Schechter & Luth and the time element involved. With further reference to the activities of the Student Affairs Committee, Mrs. Thalhimer explained that the Committee had met with student representatives and appropriate administration officials to discuss various matters of importance to the student body, and asked the Board for advice and guidance as to the procedures which should be followed by her Committee in the future in connection with such meetings. A general discussion then followed, after which it was unanimously determined that such procedures should be considered by the Executive Administrator, the two Provosts and the Committee with recommendations to be made to the next meeting of the Executive Committee with a view to a definitive recommendation being presented to the next meeting of the Board. Mr. Wayne then reported that it had been suggested that the University might join with the University of Richmond in developing a plan to assure the future of the Virginia Institute for Scientific Research. He reviewed various conferences which he had had with interested officials in this connection and pointed out that the Board of Directors of the Institute would meet on October 28 and were very hopeful that an interim plan could be developed by that time. After general consideration of the matter, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Executive Administrator and Dean Watts were asked to consult with the President of the University of Richmond and the Director of the Institute for the purpose of developing an interim plan which would assure the continuation of the Institute through June 1969, with the anticipa- tion that a definitive plan might be developed by that time, such interim plan as might be suggested to be submitted to the Executive Committee of this Board for approval. Mr. Crooks on behalf of the Health Sciences Division, and Mr. Holmes on behalf of the General Academic Division, then presented a general financial review. Dr. Brooke pointed out that many of the faculty standing committees will in the future have student representation in order that a student "in-put" may be available but that decision making would as in the past be reserved to the administration. Mr. Edwards then presented to the meeting a memorandum describing the RPI Foundation and its history, to which was attached a statement of its financial condition as of June 30, 1968 and a copy of its Articles of Incorporation. He explained that this was in response to the request of the Executive Committee that information be made available with respect to both the RPI Foundation and the similar Foundation related to the Health Sciences Division. Thereupon, on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the meeting went into Executive Session and all guests were excused, after which Mr. Wayne reported with respect to the search for a President. He stated that three excellent nominees were now under consideration, any one of whom he felt could adequately fill the position. He stated that it was his hope that he could arrange for all three to be made available in Richmond for a period of two days in order that they could meet Board members and various Administrative Officials as well as take a look at the University in depth. There being no further business to come before the meeting, the same on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, adjourned. APPROVED: 10 Mos.
