1941] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 329 pitals and other hospital groups as designated—and (2) four persons appointed by the President of the University from the faculty and alumni. (b) T h e members of the Union Board shall serve for a period of one year. (c) T h e members of the Union Board may elect one member to serve as chairman. On motion of Mr. Adams, this matter was referred to the Committee on Affiliated Student Activities for study and report. CONTRIBUTION TO ILLINI U N I O N BUILDING EQUIPMENT F U N D (31) T h e University of Illinois Foundation has been asked by the Illinois Union, Incorporated, to take over the latter's assets (including real estate properties and cash) and its liabilities amounting to approximately $140,000, which are secured by the old Illinois Union (later known as the Student Center Building) and Arcade buildings, under the condition that the cash be applied to any project which the University designates. If this plan is carried through, I recommend that the cash be accepted by the Board of Trustees and credited to the Illini Union Building equipment fund and immediately made available for the finishing and furnishing of the fourth floor rooms so that they may be ready for use in the fall. On motion of Mr. Davis, the Board voted to accept these funds if turned over to it, for the purpose recommended. VISUAL EDUCATION IN DEFENSE TRAINING (32) The State Board for Vocational Education has asked the University to undertake the supervision, through its Visual Aids Service in the Division of University Extension, of a summer program (June 16-August 9, 1041) in visual education for the young men and women in defense training at the National Youth Administration Centers in Illinois. T h e State Board for Vocational Education will pay the entire cost of the program. The plan is as follows: F o u r teachers familiar with visual materials are to be employed for 8 weeks—salary $50 a week, plus travel allowance not to exceed $25 a week. Each will be assigned a specific territory and will have charge of the work in visual education in the National Youth Administration Centers in his circuit, carrying with him films and equipment. T h e State Board for Vocational Education will purchase $4,500 worth of films which will become the property of the Visual Aids Service at the conclusion of the program. An agreement will be executed to reimburse the University for all expense which might be incurred for salaries, travel, films, and supply purchases. The agreement will approximate $9,000, and the claim could be presented for prompt payment on August 9, at the close of the program. It was necessary that this program begin on June 16. In view of this emergency I authorized sponsorship of this by the Division of University E x tension and request confirmation of my action. On motion of Mr. Jensen, the action of the President of the University in authorizing this program was approved and confirmed.
