APPROPRIATION FOR BUILDING STUDIES (3) T h e Special Building Committee of the University Council, which has been making studies of the building and other permanent improvement needs of the University in the preparation of the biennial budget for 1941-1943, has called on the Physical Plant Department for preliminary plans and cost estimates of proposed buildings and alterations of existing buildings. There are unexpended balances in appropriations previously made for various building studies as follows: Animal Pathology Building $ 968 Meats Laboratory 200 Old Agriculture and Chemistry 500 Student Center 850 Woman's Building 3 400 Total $5 918 T h e Director of the Physical Plant Department reports that not all of these funds will be needed for the work originally contemplated and suggests that they be made available not only for these specific purposes but also for building studies incidental to the preparation of the capital budget for the biennium of 1941-1943. Building projects under consideration by the Special Building Committee a r e : Animal Pathology Building, P u r e Bred Dairy Barn improvements, Band Building, rehousing of studio of Radio Station W I L L , building for R O T C mounted training and Military Stables, First Unit of Building for Art Department, and remodeling and reconditioning of various buildings. Even though all of these projects are not included in the budget for the biennium of 1041-1943 they will continue to be under consideration by future committees, so that building studies made now will be useful. I concur in the above recommendation. It does not require a supplementary appropriation but involves a change in the purpose of the original appropriations. Director H a v e n s commented on this matter. O n m o t i o n of M r .
