LABORATORY FEE FOR N E W PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSE (7) A report of the approval of a recommendation from the Director of the School of Physical Education, by the Comptroller and the Provost, that a fee of $2.25 be established for a new Physical Education course ( P , E . 43, Water Polo and Ice H o c k e y ) .

TOWEL SERVICE FEE UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL (8) A report of the authorization of a towel service fee of 50 cents a semester for students in the University High School to cover the expenses of furnishing clean towels. The income from fees will cover the cost of this service. Since no item was provided in the budget of the High School, against which the cost of the service may be charged, I recommend that an additional appropriation of $150 be made from the General Reserve Fund for this purpose.

On motion of Mr. Barr, this recommendation was adopted, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Meyer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mr. Wieland.

ADJUSTMENT OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BUDGET (9) T h e revised, by-laws of the Athletic Association require approval of its budget by the Board of T r u s t e e s ; therefore any major adjustments in this budget should also be submitted to the Board for approval. Accordingly I submit a report that the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association has authorized the following additional assignments of funds representing an adjustment in the budget of the Athletic Association as submitted to the Board July 26 and approved September 28, 1935: Stadium Repairs: Original Amount Shown in Budget for 1934-35 Special Appropriation Amount Expended as of June 30, 1935 Balance Turnstiles New Tennis Courts Band Donation Special Police to Stop Drinking at Football Games Transportation (Minor Sports) Refunds to Students in Block " I " Ushering Stenographer for Publicity Office Total 500 00 8 000 00 $8 500 00 4 289 62 $4 210 381 2 000 00 4 500 oo2 500 00 1 400 00 I 000 00 150 00 100 00 800 00 ..$14 660 38 $

These assignments a r e supplementary to the budget of the Association, and surplus funds are available for this purpose. T h e purchase of twenty turnstiles at a total cost of $1,560 has already been authorized by the President of the University as an emergency. I recommend that the Board approve the above assignments of funds and confirm the action of the President authorizing the expenditures indicated.

On motion of Mr. Barr, these assignments were approved and the action of the President was confirmed.
