Due to a lack of a quorum, all items at this meeting were discussion-
only.

4. 	Changing the Council from formal organization to mechanism 
for bringing governance groups together to discuss issues of mutual 
concern.

Pat Ivey discussed the possibility of having a less formal membership, 
fewer meeting times, and reduced budget for the Council.  She 
suggested that the current budget level of $6,200 could then be reduced 
to a maximum of $3,000/year and the remainder distributed to the 
other three governance groups.

Ms. Chantry said that while watching the Coalition of Student Leaders 
and Alliances come together and work effectively; the feeling has been 
that the way the Council works could be different.

Pat suggested formulating the changes that would be proposed to the 
Council's constitution to be presented and/or acted upon at another 
meeting, since attendance here was low.  Ms. Chantry agreed that 
would be prudent, and suggested a straw poll on the issue.

5.	Date, time and agenda items for next meeting 

Tuesday, June 19, 1995, at 2:00 pm.  This meeting time was 
subsequently delayed until July 1995, date and time TBA.

6.	Other Items of concern

Senate Bill 16, which grants an additional 350,000 acres of land to the 
university, is in danger of being vetoed.

Pat Ivey said that the governor is under pressure from environmental 
groups which favor a veto.
