i955l UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 377 It should be noted that this applies to all outside speakers and not necessarily to the use of University buildings and premises for addresses by candidates for public office or for political meetings which is governed by another statement of policy. Unless the Board instructs otherwise, these principles will be followed in the future, and University officers and departments will be so informed. On motion of Mr. Williamson, this statement was approved. AMENDMENT OF POLICY AND RULES RELATING TO COMPENSATION AND WORKING CONDITIONS OF NONACADEMIC EMPLOYEES (14) Section III-4-A of the Policy and Rules Relating to Compensation and Working Conditions of Nonacademic Employees provides that: "The starling salary in every classification where the compensation lies between stated minimum and maximum rates instead of being a single fixed rate shall be determined by the Director of Nonacademic Personnel. In all those classifications where the maximum rate is $250 per month or less, there shall be automatic increases at least once a year until the midpoint of the range of the classification is reached." With the unanimous concurrence of the Nonacademic Personnel Advisory Committee, the Director of Nonacademic Personnel recommends this be amended to read: "Where the maximum rate is $300 per month or less" instead of the present $250 figure. This has been in effect since 1949 and some upward adjustment is in order to keep even with the original intention of this provision. The Committee also makes a recommendation with reference to holidays occurring on week ends. Because the holiday provisions are the same for all operating units and agencies within the University Civil Service System, the recommendation on this was first submitted to the Merit Board, and this Board has recommended to all agencies in the System the amendment of the first paragraph of Section V I - i of the Policy and Rules Relating to Compensation and Working Conditions of Nonacademic Employees to read as follows (new language is in italics). "Offices, laboratories, and shops will be closed and all employees excused, except in emergency and for necessary operation, on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. When a holiday falls on the sixth work day of the work week, the day preceding it shall be recognised as a holiday, and when a holiday falls on the seventh work day of the work week, the day following it shall be recognized as a holiday." (The rest of section is unchanged.) The practice proposed has become general in outside business and employment and would place the University more nearly in line with prevailing practices elsewhere. I concur. On motion of Mr. Swain, these amendments were approved. EASEMENT ON MANN FOREST PLANTATION (15) Illinois Valley Electric Co-operative, Inc., an Illinois corporation not for pecuniary profit, whose principal office is in the city of Princeton, county of Bureau, and state of Illinois, has requested that the University grant it an easement along the existing fence line on the west side of the following described property of the University for the purpose of constructing, operating, and maintaming an electrical transmission line: The Southwest Quarter ( S W J 4 ) of the Northeast Quarter ( N E 1 ^ ) and the Northwest Quarter ( N W J 4 ) of the Southeast Quarter (SE}4) of Section Seventeen (17), Township Seventeen North ( T 1 7 N ) , Range Six East ( R 6 E ) of the Fourth Principal Meridian (4th P.M.) situated in the County of Bureau in the State of Illinois and commonly known as the Mann Forest Plantation. ihe transmission line will be constructed in the area east of the public road which forms the western boundary of the Mann Forest Plantation and will not extend m »re than four feet east of the existing fence line at any point.
