FEES FOR PART-TIME WORK IN T H E COLLEGES OF MEDICINE A N D DENTISTRY (14) On July 26, 1935 (Minutes, page 371), the Board approved a schedule of fees for part-time students in the Chicago Departments. On May 27, 1936 (Minutes, page 657), the Board revised the basic tuition fees for full-time students in the Colleges of Dentistry and Medicine effective September 1, 1936, and applicable to all new students entering that year and subsequent years. This makes necessary a revision of the schedule of fees for partial programs of w o r k in those two divisions. Accordingly, the Registrar recommends the establishment of the following schedule, effective September 1, 1936, applicable to all new students entering the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry after that date and registering for partial programs of work: 1. For courses of the first or second year—twenty-five cents per clock hour plus full laboratory fees in the courses for which they are registered. 2. For courses of the third and fourth years—twenty cents per clock hour plus full laboratory fees in courses for which they are registered, and an additional fifteen cents per clock hour for courses involving dispensary or infirmary. In no case will a part-time student be assessed a larger fee than the regular fees for full-time work. T h e schedule of fees for part-time students in the Chicago Departments, approved on July 26, 1935, will apply to all former students who may register for partial programs of work in the future. It will also apply to part-time work in the College of Pharmacy in the cases of both former and new students, since no change has been made in the basic tuition fee of that College. Since this Board meeting has been held after the opening of the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry, these fees have already been established, subject to confirmation by the Board of Trustees which is hereby requested.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, these fees were authorized and the action of the President of the University was confirmed.

APPROPRIATION FOR MINOR IMPROVEMENTS (15) A recommendation that an appropriation of $5,000 be made from the General Reserve Fund to the Physical Plant Department for minor improvements for 1936-1937. T h e budget for 1035-1036 included an item of $12,000 for this purpose but no such provision is made in the budget for the current year.

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

APPROPRIATION FOR RADIO STATION (16) T h e Director of the Physical Plant Department has received bids on the construction of the new transmitter house and equipment for the Radio Station. Bids on the erection of the towers were previously received and submitted to the Executive Committee which authorized the award of the contract. T h e placing of this contract, however, was deferred until bids were received on the remainder of the work. T h e total cost of the project, including legal fees covering the services of the University's Washington attorney from March 5 to September 5, 1936, and an allowance of $1,000 for contingencies, will be approximately $25,000, whereas the appropriation made for this work, based on preliminary estimates made two years ago, was $20,000. Consequently, an additional assignment of $5,000 from the General Reserve F u n d will be necessary to complete the work. If the Board desires to make this appropriation it should also act upon the following bids received on the general work, plumbing, heating, and electric wiring:
