1939] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 303 of the enrollment, and there is no dormitory unit to which the housing administrators of the University can point as a standard. A grant of $250,000 for a dormitory, as provided in the budget, would help to relieve the congestion and to provide the necessary standard. The general assembly at Springfield will very likely pass the budget as submitted in revised form by the Board of Trustees. Therefore, be it resolved, that we, the members of the Student Senate and representatives of the entire Student Body, respectfully request t h a t the University Board of Trustees retain the item in the biennial budget which provides $250,000 for a men's dormitory. BUDGET FOR THE B1ENNIUM 1939-1941 At this point, the discussion of the budget for the biennium 1939-1941 was resumed. On motion of Mr. Cleary, the item for salaries and wages was reduced by $255,000. On motion of Mr. Wieland, the item of a fund to serve as basis for financing a men's residence hall, $250,000, was eliminated. Mrs. Plumb voted in the negative. On motion of Mr. Adams, the item of $200,000 for general improvements was eliminated, and the item of $100,000 for fire protection and improvements in the Chemistry Building was amended to provide that the fund might be used also for other general improvements to buildings. On motion of Mr. Adams, the budget as amended was approved and adopted, and the President of the University was authorized to arrange for the introduction of the necessary amendments to the bill now in the General Assembly, and to take charge of the matter from now on.
