C O N T I N U A T I O N OF SERVICES OF MR. T. O. HENDERSON (5) A request from the Director of the Physical Plant Department that Mr. T. O. Henderson, Assistant Superintendent of Buildings, be continued in active service on the University's staff beginning September 1, 1941, and continuing until further notice, or until Mr. John D. Amerman, Junior Accountant in the Physical Plant Department, returns in March, 1942. O n m o t i o n of M r . D a v i s , this c o n t i n u a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d a s r e c o m mended. ALLOTMENT OF FUNDS FOR N O N - R E C U R R I N G EXPENDITURES (6) In the biennial budget approved by the Board of Trustees, prior to reductions, the sum of $419,188 was included for non-recurring supplies and equipment, as recommended by the University Council on advice of the Advisory Committee of the Bureau of Institutional Research. As a result of the various reductions made in the budget it was necessary to reduce this item materially, with the result that the tentative sum of $165,666 was retained to cover items considered by the Advisory Committee as essential for the coming biennium. This sum represents a biennial figure and, since the items which it covers are not items of operating expense, they should not be included in the annual internal budget. At the Board meeting July 15 the following appropriations were made which are properly chargeable to this item: Remodeling of Natural History Library $16 000 Calculating machine for Registrar's Office 565 Musical instruments for High School 600 Special equipment for Liberal Arts and Sciences 5 000 Total $22 165 In today's meeting recommendations are submitted for the following additional appropriations, also chargeable to this account: Special equipment for Engineering $10 000 Radiology equipment for College of Medicine 45 000 Pressure chambers for atmospheric environment s t u d i e s . . . 15 000 Remodeling in the College of Dentistry 10 700 Total $80 700 I recommend that the sum of $165,666 be tentatively allotted from the biennial state appropriation, for non-recurring purposes, subject to appropriations made from it from time to time by the Board of Trustees. 1 further recommend that the foregoing list of appropriations totaling $102,865 be charged to this allotment, leaving a balance of $62,801 unappropriated by the Board.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, these appropriations were made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, President Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Livingston, Dr. Meyer; no, none; absent, Mr. Adams, Mr. Green, Mr. Wieland.
