APPROPRIATION TO ILLINI U N I O N BUILDING TO OFFSET REFUND OF SERVICE CHARGE (6) On September 27, 1940 (Minutes, page 47), the Board of Trustees authorized a reduction in the Illini Union Building service charge from $5.00 to $3.00 after the first semester of 1940-1041, since the building was not ready for use at the beginning of the academic year, and on January 22, 1941 (Minutes, page 158), authorized the refund of the $3.00 collected because the building was not completed and ready for use during the first semester. This was done in the expectation that the Board would appropriate from the General Reserve Fund an amount sufficient to offset this loss in income. T h e maximum liability resulting from these refunds is $15,755. However, the Director of the Physical Plant Department does not request the full amount, but an appropriation of $14,200, which represents the deficit resulting from the loss of income from service charges. I recommend that the amount of $14,200 be appropriated from the General Reserve Fund to the Illini LInion Building for this purpose. O n m o t i o n of M r . L i v i n g s t o n , this a p p r o p r i a t i o n w a s m a d e , by the following vote: Aye, M r . A d a m s , M r . Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, M r . Jensen, M r .

APPROPRIATION FOR BULLETIN BOARD IN THE ILLINI U N I O N BUILDING (7) T h e University of Illinois Foundation has requested that a bulletin board be placed in the Illini Union Building for the purpose of displaying the names of those persons who contributed $50 or more to the equipment fund. T h e estimated cost of such a bulletin board is $500, and I recommend that this amount be appropriated from the General Reserve Fund for that purpose. O n m o t i o n of M r .
