The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University.

NON-RECURRING APPROPRIATIONS

(i) A recommendation that the following appropriations be made for special, nonrecurring purposes, from the Reserve and Contingent Fund to be available to June 30, '935; these are to supplement the items appropriated by the Board1 in connection with the approval of the budget for 1934-35: Military Bands equipment $2 000 Physical Plant Extension for improvements on cattle feeding plant and addition to Shepherd's Cottage 2 325 College of Education equipment 269

Total $4 594

On motion of Mr. Armstrong, these appropriations were made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Hopkins, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Trees, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Barr, Mr. Blair, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Mr. Karraker.

APPROPRIATION FOR PRINTING OF STATUTES

(2) A recommendation that an appropriation of $300, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be made for the publication of an edition of 5,000 copies of the University Statutes. The last edition, which was published in 1926, is exhausted and of course the Statutes have been revised considerably since that time. On motion of Mr. Trees, this appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Hopkins, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Trees, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Barr, Mr. Blair, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Mr. Karraker.

AGREEMENT WITH UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS U N I O N , INCORPORATED, FOR OPERATION OF U N I O N BUILDING

(3) To provide for the effective operation of the Illinois Union Building as a student and alumni center it is necessary to enter into certain arrangements with the Board of Directors of the University of Illinois Union, Incorporated. I therefore recommend that the Board of Trustees authorize an agreement with the Union which will include the following provisions: 1. The Union will turn over to the University for use as a student and alumni center the entire main floor of the Union Building and such part of the second floor or other parts of the building as shall be mutually agreed. 2. The complete control and supervision of the space thus assigned will be assumed by the University, and will be exercised in the manner indicated by the President. The Illinois Union shall be entitled to use of space in this portion of the building under the same general conditions as other organizations. 3. The University will provide light, heat, water, janitor service, and maintenance for that portion of the building of which it is to assume control. 4. The University will pay the Union as rent for the space the proportion of interest, taxes, and insurance on the Union Building that its space bears to the total space in the building. 5. The University will redecorate space taken over by it. All furnishings and fixtures installed by the University shall remain the property of the University and be subject to removal by it. •Minutes, May 22, 1934, page 567.
