1022 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 9 are seven members, three selected from the membership of the Alumni Association and four from the faculty of the University. In 1940 when the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association was increased from five to seven members it was decided that periodical changes in the membership of the Board should be made. This policy has not been followed during the past three years because the problems created by the war and the uncertainty of the future made it inadvisable to make changes in the Board of Directors. N o w that the war is over I believe it would be wise to resume the policy of making changes from time to time. I submit the following nominations for reappointments and appointments to the Board of Directors: Faculty ROBERT B. BROWNE, Associate Professor of Education, Director of University Extension, and Director of the Summer Semester LESLIE E. CARD, Professor of Poultry Husbandry GEORGE B. WEISIGER, P r o f e s s o r of Law FRANK H . BEACH, Associate Professor of Business Organization and Operation Alumni WALDO B. AMES, Class of 1917, Insurance Broker, 175 W e s t Jackson Boulevard, Chicago LOWELL A. SPUSGEON, Class of 1938, c/o J. L. Clark Manufacturing Company, Rockford C. E. LOVEJOY, JR., Class of 1920, Vice-President of Sales Management, 333 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago O n m o t i o n of M r .

ASSIGNMENT O F FUNDS FOR PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS AT T H E UNIVERSITY O F ILLINOIS AIRPORT (16) At the meeting of the Board of Trustees on October 18, 1045, bids were submitted for construction of an Administration Building at the University of Illinois Airport. With the exception of the bids on wiring for the Administration Building, all other bids were unsatisfactory, in excess of engineering estimates, and were rejected. It is obviously impossible to construct an Administration Building and install water supply and sewer systems, both of which are absolutely necessary for service in such a building, with the funds available. T h e Advisory Board on Aeronautics at a meeting held on February 6 and 7, 1946, recommended that construction of an Administration Building be deferred and that the available funds be used for utilities, improvements, and equipment necessary to inaugurate the educational, research, and service activities at the Airport. T h e r e is a balance of $306,000 in the State appropriation for permanent improvements and equipment at the Airport. T h e following allocation of this balance, subject to adjustments within the total, is recommended by the Advisory Board on Aeronautics: Interior road, parking areas, and walks $ 19 000 W a t e r supply 45 000 Sanitary sewers, sewage disposal, and storm d r a i n a g e . . . 60 000 Improvements in hangar for classrooms and laboratories 20 000 Addition for airplane engine testing 20 000 Addition for heating plant and equipment 60 000 Remodeling and equipping front rooms of hangar for airline terminal 5 000 Additional apron for north door of hangar 19 000 Airplanes for flight instruction 25 000 Technical and field equipment 30 000 Landscaping. 3 000 Total $306 000
