EXEMPTION OF STUDENTS IN EXTRAMURAL COURSES FROM LABORATORY AND OTHER SERVICE FEES (17) T h e Board of Trustees on December 15, 1042, authorized the assessment of a uniform laboratory, library, and supply fee of $5 a semester effective June, 1943, to replace the former system of laboratory and locker fees in the colleges and schools at Urbana. In certain centers where extramural courses are offered the sponsoring agency of such programs is frequently able to supply all instructional materials and especially library facilities. In other areas development of the extramural program has meant an increase in the amount of instructional materials provided by the University. Consequently there is no justification for requiring all students to pay a uniform fee. T h e faculty Committee on Fees and Scholarships recommends that the regulations of the Board governing the assessment of such fee as adopted December 15, 1942, be amended to read as follows, this change to become effective February I, 1946: "All full-time students shall be assessed a uniform laboratory, library, and supply fee of $5, effective June, 1043. All students taking eight hours of instruction or less and students enrolled in the eight-week summer session shall be assessed $2.50; except that if, in the judgment of the Director of the University Extension, the University is required to supply no instructional materials for a given extramural class the laboratory, library, and supply fee shall not be assessed. I concur in the recommendation.

The Comptroller discussed this item. On motion of Mr. Williamson, these changes in fees were authorized as recommended. At this point, Mr. Davis raised the question of the presentation of supplementary items, on which the Board had not received information in advance of the meeting in time for the members to give consideration to the matters involved, and suggested that in the future only urgent emergency items be included in the supplementary list, and that recommendations of appointment be not included unless exceptionally urgent.

SPECIAL APPROPRIATION FOR NONRECURRING EXPENDITURES (18) T h e Committee on Special Appropriations and Nonrecurring Expenditures recommends an assignment of $950 from the General Reserve Fund for equipment for a six-man football program in the University High School, the appropriation to be available until January 1, 1947.

The Comptroller commented on this item. On motion of Mr. McLaughlin, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Livingston, Mr. McKelvey, Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Green, Dr. Luken, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Nickell.
