pointment in the Graduate School shall be exempt from the payment of tuition and laboratory, library, and supply fees in courses counting for graduate credit. . . . " I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . F o r n o f , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a d o p t e d . APPOINTMENT OF ACTING MANAGER OF ILLINI U N I O N (8) Mr. Vernon L. Kretschmer, Manager of the Mini Union Building, has received a commission in t h e United States Naval Reserve and will report for active service on July 5, 1943. There is a separate recommendation that he be given a leave of absence without pay. On recommendation of the Director of the Physical Plant Department, I have approved the appointment of Mr. Erwin J. Schreiber, Manager of the Mini Union Bookstore, as Acting Manager of the Mini Union Building (in addition to his duties as Manager of the Mini Union Bookstore) under the following terms and conditions: 1. T h e increased responsibilities will be assigned him t o r a period of six months, after which the University or Mr. Schreiber may decide to terminate the agreement. 2. This increase in responsibilities shall in no way be considered permanent and will in no way affect Mr. Schreiber's status or future as Manager of the Mini Union Bookstore. 3. Since it is impossible to make definite allocation of the time required in the management of the Mini Union Building and the Mini Union Bookstore, Mr. Schreiber's responsibility will be to develop an organization to operate both enterprises successfully. 4. This appointment will become effective July 1, 1943, and will continue throughout the absence of Mr. Kretschmer unless terminated as provided above. T h e salary will be at the rate of $4,500 a year for the two positions, plus such meals as it may be necessary for him to have in connection with the discharge of his duties as Acting Manager of the Mini Union Building. This arrangement is similar to that with the present Manager.

On motion of Mrs. Grigsby, the action of the President of the University in making this appointment was approved and confirmed.
