When the biennial budget for 1941-1943 was in preparation, there was included an item of $2,500 for a personnel assistant in the Business Office. This position was for the improvement of clerical and stenographic service through training (in service) of personnel. The item is included in the current Business Office budget (1941-1942), and the position will be used in the administration of the University Civil Service System. However, it may not be possible to secure for this salary an individual of the training and qualifications required, and the salary may have to be increased. Such an increase would be in addition to Item 1 of the increases listed above, which are to provide for the salary of a stenographer and for recurring expense and equipment items in connection with the administration of the University Civil Service System.

APPROPRIATION FOR ALTERATIONS IN THE W O M A N ' S BUILDING (9) The Committee on Special Appropriations and Non-Recurring Expenditures recommends an assignment of $400 from the General Reserve Fund for minor alterations in the Woman's Building to provide suitable office quarters for Dr. Julia P. Outhouse, Professor of Nutrition. At the present time she and Miss Grace Armstrong, Assistant Professor of Foods and Nutrition Extension, are sharing a small office on the third floor which originally was a storeroom. It is too hot to use in the summer and she must then move some of her materials to a basement room. Her work has recently increased because she is Chairman of the State Nutrition Committee in the national defense program. It is proposed to remodel the first floor east parlor in the Woman's Building (which has been rarely used for social functions since the completion of the Illini Union Building) and convert the south end of this room into an office.

On motion of Mrs. Grigsby, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Livingston, Dr. Meyer; no, none; absent, Mr. Green, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Wieland.

The appropriation will cover the cost of eight numbers of the
