UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS I075 the Senate Committee on Student Affairs, was made to the President of the University to set up an associated student body. The recommendation also carried a proposal for the appointment of a vice-president in charge of student affairs. The execution of this plan as recommended could not have been accomplished without considerable additional expense and major reorganization which at the time seemed neither feasible nor advisable to the administration. In spite of this, however, sentiment for an associated student body continued. Efforts on the part of the administration to secure a better organization of student affairs continued. For example, the number of individual student organizations has been reduced from about 300 to approximately 175. During the summer of 1942 a report of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs for the reorganization of the Illini Union Board and the definition of its relation to other student activities was made. This report 17 included recommendations that: (1) "all activities of the Illini Union Board shall be subject to the approval of the (Senate) Committee on Student Affairs" (upon which sit members of the Student Senate, and, as ex officio members, the Dean of Men and Dean of Women) ; ( 2 ) "all financial and building management and operation policies shall be the responsibility of the Business Office and the Physical Plant Department"; (3) purpose of the Illini Union Board shall include (a) the "responsibility for administering all student activities of an all-University nature, for either men or women or both . . . plus other activities delegated to it by the Student Affairs Committee," (b) the "responsibility for organizing and directing a program of social activities for the faculty and alumni"; and (4) the personnel of the Illini Union Board consist of nine students (three men and two women selected by the Illini Union Board and two each selected by the Dean of Men's Council and the Woman's League respectively), three faculty members selected by the President, one representative of the alumni appointed by the President on nomination of the Association, the manager of the Illini Union, and the Social Director of the Illini Union.
