APPOINTMENTS TO T H E 19 4 8 SUMMER SESSION (7) The Dean of the Summer Session has submitted a budget for the 1048 Summer Session (see Appendix, page 1124). The budget provides for an eight-week session at Urbana-Champaign, 1 at the Chicago and Galesburg Undergraduate Divisions, and at the College of Pharmacy. Salaries of present members of the faculty who are being recommended for appointments to the Summer Session staff are computed on the basis of two-ninths of the salary of the academic year for two months of summer service.

The budget proposed totals $617,861 for Urbana-Champaign, $92,039 for the Chicago Undergraduate Division, $17,503 for the Galesburg Undergraduate Division, and $2,139 for the College of Pharmacy. I recommend that: 1. The appointments to the Summer Session staff be approved as submitted. 2. All appointments or contracts for service during the Summer Session include a provision permitting reduction in time and salary or cancellation of the contract in the event that enrollment in certain courses or sections thereof does not warrant continuation of the appointment on the basis originally recommended. 3.
