APPROPRIATION TO DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY (1) A recommendation that the balance of $3,023.71 in the unappropriated agricultural income account of the Department of Animal Husbandry be appropriated to the Department for the purchase of purebred H e r e f o r d cattle. On motion of Mr. Mayer, this appropriation was made and the purchase authorized as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue; no, none; absent, Mr. Adams, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland. APPROPRIATION TO CONCERT A N D ENTERTAINMENT BOARD (2) Because of the structural defects discovered in the University Auditorium this spring, the University Concert and Entertainment Board was obliged to rent the Virginia T h e a t r e in Champaign for the presentation of the last attraction of the season—the T r u d i Schoop Ballet. T h e net added cost of this arrangement was $759.80. T h e Concert and Entertainment Board asks the University for some reimbursement and suggests that a reasonable settlement would be one-half of this net cost, or $380.

On motion of Mr. Mayer, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue; no, none; absent, Mr. Adams, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland.
