RE-EXAMINATION O F CANDIDATES FOR CERTIFICATE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT (3) T h e Committee on Accountancy recommends the adoption of t h e following rule to govern t h e re-examination of candidates under Section 4 ( b ) of t h e Accountancy Act of 1043. This is to supplement other recommendations previously adopted from time to time for t h e administration of t h e A c t : "Rule 3 4 ( a ) — A Candidate who fails the examination given by the Special Board of Examiners under Section 4, Paragraph ( b ) of the Act shall be entitled to a re-examination after the lapse of six months from the date of his failure. A fee of twenty-five ($25.00) dollars shall be paid for such re-examination." Candidates seeking the C.P.A. certificate under this Section of the Act, on making the proper showing that they have held the Illinois Public Accountant certificate for a period of ten years and have been engaged in the practice of public accounting for a period of ten years, a r e eligible to take an oral o r written examination given by the Special Board of Five Examiners. If they a r e successful in this examination, they a r e recommended to the Board of Trustees for t h e C.P.A. certificate.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, this rule was adopted as recommended.

APPROPRIATION FOR SHORT COURSE I N OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (4) O n J u n e 22, 1944 (Minutes, page 1000), the Board of Trustees authorized the offering of a special program of training in Occupational Therapy requested by the Surgeon General of the United States Army. Candidates for this program of training were selected by the Army and sent to the University for training. T w o months of instruction were given at Urbana starting July 5, 1944, and two months a r e given at t h e University in Chicago. T h e W a r Department has requested that this course be repeated beginning about November 1, and a contract has been entered into accordingly. T h e W a r Department pays all costs of this program. These payments go into the General Reserve Fund, and it is necessary that an appropriation be made from that fund to cover the costs and other expenses. I recommend that a n appropriation of $2,500 be made for this purpose.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Livingston, Mr. McKelvey, Dr. Meyer; no, none; absent, Mr. Green, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Luken, Mr. Nickell.

APPROPRIATION FOR WAGE ADJUSTMENTS (5) T h e following wage adjustments a r e now in order under the policy of the Board a s a result of increases in prevailing rates established in the UrbanaChampaign community: Carpenters (effective September 1, 1944): Basic rate of $1.44 an hour in place of $l-37*/i, subject to reduction to $1.33 (instead of $1.27) if vacation and sick leave benefits a r e elected.
