BUDGET FOR EXPANDED PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Director of the School of Physical Education and the Comptroller submit the following proposed budget for the expanded Physical Education program for the second semester of 1042-1943: Estimated Expenditures Recurring: Instruction $8 000 Clerical help (motor fitness tests, locker rooms, and registration clerks) 400 Stenographic help 500 Laundry 1 000 Office supplies 300 Sub-total $10 200 Non-recurring: Towels 1 000 Equipment 1 500 Furniture 200 Sub-total 2 700 Total Estimated Expenditures $12 900 Estimated Income from Fees $ 2 200 It will be necessary to employ additional staff members to operate this expanded program. New people qualified to teach Physical Education are very difficult to get, and in many cases it will be necessary to use present members of the faculty in both the Department of Physical Education and other academic departments who are already on full-time appointments. Where such proposed assignments of Physical Education classes would be in addition to full-time teaching schedules, additional compensation should be authorized. I recommend: 1. Approval of the expanded program as recommended by the University Senate. 2. A gross assignment of $12,900 from the General Reserve Fund, $10,200 for operating expenditures (recurring item) and $2,700 for equipment and supplies (non-recurring). This will be offset to some extent by the estimated increased income of $2,200 from fees. 3. Authorization of payment of additional compensation to present members of the staff for extra teaching of Physical Education classes.
