Activities of undergraduate student organizations carried on in the building shall be under the authority of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. Student requests will be subject to final approval by the Social Director as the executive agent of the Committee for all activities in the building. T h e Illini Union Board will cooperate with the Committee in providing a broad student program in the building. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Cleary, these recommendations were approved.

USE OF ILLINI U N I O N BUILDING BY LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS IN CHAMPAIGN-URBANA (32) Under the University Statutes, University buildings may be used by student and faculty organizations, and for meetings of a non-local character of public or educational significance. T h e Director of the Physical Plant Department requests that the Board of Trustees authorize an exception to this provision, incidental to the opening of the Illini Union Building, by permitting certain local organizations in Champaign and Urbana (such as the service clubs and the associations of commerce) to hold one meeting each in the building to give them an opportunity to inspect it and to give University officials an opportunity to explain the policies governing its operation and use. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Jensen, this use of the Illini Union Building was authorized as recommended.
