salary, with a maximum of $900; for sixteen weeks of teaching service, J4 of the academic year's salary with a maximum of $1,350. There are a number of necessary variations from this schedule, occurring mainly in the lower salary brackets, especially in the Department of Physics where there are special employment problems and for which positions a higher salary rate has been recommended in order to secure the services required. The budget includes in certain Engineering Departments provisions which will be used only as Army and Navy programs develop during the summer and to the extent that such programs require these instructional services. While such provisions are included in the total budget for the summer term, if they are used the services will be paid for out of Army and Navy contracts and not out of this budget. Since it was necessary to set up a summer program for civilian students and at the same time provide a staff for the Army and Navy programs, the latter have been included in the budget. The Director of the Summer Session also recommends a special assignment of $1,000 from the unexpended balance of summer session funds for a series of lectures by engineers on earth and masonry structures. T h e Department of Civil Engineering is offering work in this field with special reference to earth stabilization processes and the construction of military airports. This instruction is offered for the Army Specialized Training Program, and the University of Illinois will be the only institution offering comparable work. T h e Department wishes to reinforce the course by a series of lectures by engineers who have contributed to this field. I recommend: 1. That the budget for the summer term of 1043 a s hereby submitted, including appointments to the teaching staff and the provision of $1,000 for special lectures on earth and masonry structures to be sponsored by the Department of Civil Engineering, be approved, the appointments to be for the periods and at the salaries indicated in each case. 2. That all appointments or contracts for service during the summer term include a provision permitting reduction in time and salary or cancellation of the contract in the event enrollments in certain courses or sections thereof do not warrant continuation of the appointment on the basis originally recommended. 3. That the President of the University be authorized to make such changes and adjustments, including additional appointments, and acceptance of resignations, as are necessary in accordance with the needs of the University. On motion of Mr. Jensen, these recommendations were adopted, and authority was granted as requested. SUMMER TERM SALARIES Agricultural Economics 1. G. L.
