                                    June 15, 1984





           The Faculty Senate met at 12:00 noon in Library 1 on Friday,

           June 15, 1984, with Dr. Alan Comer presiding.



           Members Present:  Dr. Betts, Dr. Combs, Dr. Comer, Dr. Grams,

           Dr. Greenawalt, Dr. Rackham, Dr. Shoaf, and Dr. Williams.







           The specially called meeting was for the purpose of enacting

           resolutions in response to the unexpected death of Harry

           Johnston, a long-time member of the Biology Department and

           former Division Chairman and Department Head.



           After discussion of the Biology Department's plans to

           memorialize its colleague, the Senate passed the following

           resolution:



               "The Senate on behalf of the entire faculty expresses

               its sympathy to the Johnston family and wishes to convey

               the Senate's sense of loss and its appreciation for Harry

               Johnston's years of service to the University and the

               Senate.



               To preserve the memory of his many contributions to the

               University of North Carolina at Asheville the Faculty

               Senate requests that an endowment be established as a

               memorial to Harry H. Johnston.



               Funds for this endowment are to be solicited from the UNCA

               community and alumni and are to be used for two purposes.

               First, a living memorial in the form of a tree shall be

               planted near the Rhoades Science Building.  Second,

               remaining funds will establish a permanent endowment,

               the interest from which will support an annual award for

               excellence in Biology.  The criteria and nature of the

               award will be determined by the Biology Department."





           Approved:



           Dr. Bruce Greenawalt

           Secretary, Faculty Senate
