562 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 17 President's Reports President Ikenberry reported on a recent meeting of the Illinois House Appropriation Committee with regard to the universities' budgets for 1934-85. In the past, when tuition was increased and the need for additional funds for the Illinois State Scholarship Commission allocated, this has been done "off the top" of the universities' budgets. The practice obtained this year but only for the tuition increase of 6 percent recommended by the Board of Higher Education. The House Committee's recent judgment was that funds from additional tuition increases (7 percent at the University of Illinois), should come from the universities' income fund, that is, the tuition receipts themselves. A total of $1,500,000 is involved for the institutions as a whole, $660,000 for the University of Illinois. He expressed the view that this was an unwise procedure and that the funds should come from general revenue funds, either additionally appropriated or from the universities' general income funds when appropriated. The president also reported on legislation with regard to the sales of products and services by universities and recent concern about competition with private enterprise in locations in which universities operate. New legislation has passed the House of Representatives and will be introduced in the Senate; it is expected to provide for a reasonable adjustment of the question.
