F U N D S FOR ILL1NI UNION BUILDING CAMPAIGN (4) On December 17, 1938 (Minutes, page 176), a recommendation was made to the Board for an assignment of $6,000 to the University of Illinois Foundation for the expenses of the campaign to raise funds for the Mini Union Building. An assignment of $3,000 was made with the understanding that an additional $3,000 would be allocated later if funds were available. I recommend approval of this additional assignment from the General Reserve Fund. O n m o t i o n of M r .

APPROPRIATION FOR STUDENT RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES (5) A recommendation from the Director of the School of Physical Education that a provision be made in the budget for 1939-1940 for an expansion of the recreational sports program and to stimulate a greater use of the University's recreational facilities by the student body. This will include the following: ( a ) Appointment of a half-time instructor as supervisor of recreational sports. ( b ) Opening both the George Huff Gymnasium and the Old Gymnasium until io o'clock in the evening. ( c ) Opening the swimming pool in each gymnasium one night each week. ( d ) Employing two attendants (one for each gymnasium) to supervise the use of the two gymnasiums. ( e ) Employing four pool attendants one night each week. T h e estimated cost of this program would be as follows: Recreational Sports Supervisor (half time) $1 200 Two gymnasium attendants (one for each gymnasium at 40^ per h o u r ) . . 700 Four pool attendants (2 for each pool at 40^ per h o u r ) 200 Supplies 200 Total $2 300 T h e Directors of the Athletic Association have indicated that beginning September 1, 1939, the Association will assume the cost of this program. In the meantime, it would be desirable to inaugurate it, in a small way, during the current academic year. This would involve an appropriation of $400. I recommend the approval of this program and an assignment of $400 from the General Reserve Fund for the expenses thereof during the current year. O n m o t i o n of M r .

F U N D FOR FARM BUREAU FARM MANAGEMENT PROJECT IN THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS (6) F o r a number of years the Department of Agricultural Economics has carried on a research and extension project in F a r m Management in cooperation with F a r m Bureaus and individual farmers. Heretofore the latter have paid a fee of approximately $15 a year, which has been collected by the local association of farmers and used to pay the salary and expenses of a resident farm management expert w h o visits their farms periodically, gives advice, and assists in the keeping of records and accounts. T h e account books resulting from this work a r e sent to the University for analysis by the Department of Agricultural Economics. A group of more than 200 cooperating farmers have agreed to contribute to the University $6 for each farm record which the Department of Agricultural
