222 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February n T h u s far the Commission has been unwilling to accept that proposal, although it has not positively refused. As an alternative, it has suggested that it would be willing to say in writing that it would not certify to the University any persons who do not have our minimum educational requirements. This is not a satisfactory arrangement, as it might be discontinued without notice by the present or any future Commission. Furthermore, there would be no public announcement of the arrangement, which would be unsatisfactory. In view of this situation the matter is submitted to the Board of Trustees for its views and instructions. T h e following statement of policy is offered: i. Minimum educational standards should be provided for all administrative positions in the University, these standards to be determined by the University. 2. Separate classifications for administrative positions at the University should be provided which will include minimum educational standards and salary scales which are appropriate for the University, considering the duties and requirements of various positions, prevailing compensation in the communities in which the University is located, and faculty salary scales.

AWARD OF MECHANICAL CONTRACTS FOR GREGORY HALL (8) Bids for the electrical, plumbing, and elevator contracts on Gregory Hall will be received on February 27 at 2:00 o'clock p.m. It is necessary to award the contracts and begin construction immediately thereafter in order to comply with the requirements of the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works.
