1959] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 351 Admission Requirements A grade-point average of at least 3.5 in the last sixty semester hours of undergraduate work completed. A student planning for this program will be required to have had in undergraduate work a foods course with an organic chemistry prerequisite, a nutrition course with organic chemistry and physiology prerequisites, adequate training in chemistry, including quantitative analysis, and an introductory course in bacteriology. Students will also be advised to take in their undergraduate work courses in colloid chemistry, physics, and trigonometry, but deficiencies in any of these maybe made up during the first year of graduate study. For a minor as admission to this program only, the prerequisites or their equivalents for the selected courses are required. Degree Requirements These will include fulfillment of all the general requirements of the Graduate College as to residence, proficiency in foreign languages, preliminary and final examinations, and a thesis. Candidates may elect minors in animal nutrition, bacteriology, biochemistry, food technology, physiology, and in other appropriate areas. I concur. On motion of Mr. Herrick, this recommendation was approved. AUTHORIZATION O F APPLICATION FOR SUPPORT OF BIOPHYSICAL RESEARCH (9) The Biophysical Research Laboratory of the Department of Electrical Engineering has prepared a proposal to the Office of Naval Research for support of a research project on "Application of Ultrasound to the Study of and the P r o duction of Changes in Brain Mechanisms in Experimental Animals and in Humans," and an application for funds: $272,460 for the first year, $264,055 for the second, and $254,887 for the third year of the study. This would include $463,000 for equipment during the three years and a provision for all other costs including reimbursement for the University's indirect costs. I recommend authorization of this application and execution of the resulting contract. On motion of Mr. Johnston, this recommendation was approved. SUBCONTRACTS FOR RESEARCH SERVICES (10) Occasionally it is advantageous to the University to have some of the work required under research contracts with governmental agencies and other sponsors of research done elsewhere through subcontracts with universities, individuals, or corporations. Basic contracts usually provide for such subcontract, and they are subject to approval in advance of execution by the sponsoring agency. T o secure advance approval of the Board of Trustees of such contracts, as now required by Board regulations applicable to purchases of materials or services costing more than $2,500, often delays work on research projects. It is therefore recommended by the Vice-President and Comptroller that the requirement of advance approval by the Board be waived in cases of subcontracts for research if the costs are to be paid entirely from contract funds and the subcontracts have been approved by the sponsors. In each case, the subcontract would be reported to the Board. I concur. On motion of Mr. Hughes, this recommendation was approved. APPLICATION FOR LOAN FOR CONSTRUCTION OF M E N S RESIDENCE HALLS ( n ) The Board of Trustees has authorized filing of an application to the Housing and Home Finance Agency for a loan to finance the construction of a number of housing projects, including a residence hall for 1,485 single undergraduate students which will be Stage 3 in the University's program for the construction of student housing. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds has approved some changes in the housing construction program in the three units of Stage 3, and
