5io BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 30 DISCONTINUANCE O F TWO-YEAR C U R R I C U L U M IN S C H O O L O F JOURNALISM (24) On June 19, 1943, the Board of Trustees approved a recommendation for the establishment of a two-year emergency program in Journalism for freshman and sophomore students. The School of Journalism is a senior division, and two years of college work are required for admission to the curricula in Journalism leading to degrees. The emergency program was set up to train personnel to fill war-time shortages. In the judgment of the Director of the School of Journalism and his faculty, the emergency no longer exists and they recommend that the program be discontinued. I concur. On motion of Mr. Fornof, this curriculum was discontinued as recommended. PURCHASES RECOMMENDED (25) The Purchasing Agent has proposed and the Comptroller recommends the following purchases. Unless otherwise specified the purchase in each case is recommended on the basis of lowest bid, ceiling price, or because the item is noncompetitive. I concur in the recommendations. 1. Motor exchange for 17 Ford cars used by the Agricultural Experiment Station, for the Physical Plant Department, from Dana Hudelson, Champaign, at a cost of $1,317.84. 2. Wind tunnel drive equipment, consisting of a 50 h.p. motor and 40 kw. motor generator set with necessary controls, for the Department of Aeronautical Engineering, from the General Electric Company, Chicago, at a cost of $2,700.00 f.o.D. factory, freight allowed.
