The University Board of Regents, in -keeping with their progressive outlook for the University, continued making major academic policy decisions to update administrative procedures. The Board, responsible for the supervision of The University of Texas System, met once each six weeks, maintain- ing a central government. Variety abounded among the governmental group, for as The Da y Texan wrote, How the body votes on any particular issue is impossible to predict because of the diver- sity of the individuals on the Board. Led by Chairman Frank C. Erwin Jr., the nine- member Board implemented a pass-fail grading system, substituted a four-point grading system replacing the previously used three-point, armed 15 traffic and security supervisors, abolished and then later reinstituted the Chilean Exchange Pro- gram, affirmed the construction of a faculty center atop the new dormitory complex, and, in a con- Board of Regents troversial move, reorganized the Texas Union Board of Directors to include four students and one fac- ulty member whose actions, the Board decided, would not have any force or effect until it had received regental approval. The Development Board, directly responsible to the Board of Regents, planned and coordinated benefits for all units of the System. It was formed in 1939. Board members are chosen by the Ex- Students ' Association and the Regents and are composed of prominent citizens who voluntarily devote time and effort to the welfare of the Uni- versity. The Chancellor is an ex-officio member of the Board whose new chairman, Joe AA. Dealey, took office during the fall. REGENTS ABOVE: FRONT ROW: Mrs. J. Lee Johnson III, Chair- man Frank C.
