The University Board, of Trustees held its first open meeting Friday, and now everyone knows what the most powerful body at Penn State does and how does it. analysis Nothing thrilling happened at the meeting. In fact, it was tedious even boring. Each item was brought up for ac tion, voted on and set aside with almost mechanical smoothness. There was little discussion and even less argument.

Board President Michael Baker, Jr., said that while the meeting was a little more formal than before, it was not conducted any dif ferently. Other trustees said much the same thing. The Board seems to operate in the same way as the Congress or any other'gover ning body. Its members work out problems and make com promises in the standing com mittees. By the time an item reaches the whole Board, there U little left to do but pass it. Committee meetings are only working sessions and not open to the public.

Under the rules, the Board can only call executive sessions in two circumstances: when considering dismissal or discipline of a University employe or.agent; and when con sidering action on labor negotiations. * The only dissenting vote on an item before the Board was made by Jesse Arnelle. Arnelle said he voted “no” on a new multi-purpose building for the Capital Campus 1 because he Boredom .-The whole operation had a feeling of inevitability about it. As each item came up for action, members of the press were handed a press release explaining the subject. j The releases were tabled “background 0n...” But, they were really the body of the press releases that would be handed; out by University Public Information after the meeting, minus the first paragraph confirming the Board’s approval. ' | To add to this sense of things being pre-ordained, at; the press conference following the meeting, each reporter jwas handeij a packet containing the press releases complete with first paragraphs.
