HEADSHIP OF THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL ENGINEERING

(3) The Dean of the College of Engineering recommends the appointment of Jerry Stanley Dobrovolny, Associate Professor of General Engineering, as Head of the Department of General Engineering beginning September 1, 1959, at an annual salary of $10,000 on " A " basis. This appointment is to fill the vacancy which will be created by the retirement of Professor Randolph P . Hoelscher on September 1, 1959, after forty-one years of service on the faculty. The nomination of Professor Dobrovolny was made by a search committee appointed by the Dean, and all members of the department of professorial rank have been consulted. The Vice-President and Provost and the Dean of the Graduate College concur in this appointment. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r .

After consultation with the Executive Committee of the College, and with the concurrence of the Vice-President and Provost, I appointed Dr. Charles M.

APPOINTMENTS TO THE 1 9 5 9 SUMMER SESSION STAFF (5) I submit recommendations for appointments to the faculty for the 1959 Summer Session. Appointments in the Summer Session budget provide for an eightweek term at Urbana-Champaign, June IS through August 8, and at the Chicago Undergraduate Division, June 19 through August 14; and two six-week terms, June 22 through August I, and August 3 through September 12, in the College of Pharmacy. The salaries of members of the University faculty recommended for appointment to the Summer Session staff are computed on the basis of the authorized formula of two-ninths of the salary of the academic year for the eight-week Summer Session and proportionate amounts for other periods or for part-time service. The budget totals $728,660 plus a reserve of $5,949 for Urbana-Champaign; $U,39i for the Chicago Professional Colleges; and $105,142 plus a reserve of $858 for the Chicago Undergraduate Division. I recommend that the appointments to the Summer Session staff be approved as submitted, and that the President of the University be authorized to accept resignations and make such changes in adjustments and additional appointments as are necessary in accordance with the needs of the University within the estimated income.
