Floyd Johnson, secretary. Approved for one year terms as directors were Mrs. Walter Meador and Alex With. Named for two year terms were Gregory Illanes and Mrs. Peg Hooten.

Rob Strell, a graduate student in the University of New Mexico's school of architecture, discussed the feasibility of the Ilfeld building as a museum in terms of traffic patterns, access and relationship to other cultural institutions, according to Mrs. De Borhegyi.

Richard Bice, president of the museum's board of trustees, explained to the board that "a museum is much more than the exhibit space usually seen by the public."
