ADDITIONAL DELEGATION O F SIGNATURES (2) T h e Comptroller requests adoption of the following resolution as an addendum to the resolution for delegation of signatures approved by the Board on March 9, 1946. T h e purpose of this addendum is to provide for the preparation and issuance of checks against the University Treasurer by the Business Office at Galesburg in connection with funds relating to that division. The officers to whom the proposed deputies are responsible have concurred in this arrangement. All employees thus deputized are placed under suitable bond. Resolved that the President of the Board of Trustees is authorized to delegate to William J. English and to James E. Osborn, of the Galesburg Division, authority to sign his name as President of the Board of Trustees, to checks drawn against the account: "University of Illinois, I. L. Porter, Treasurer, Galesburg Division," in the First National Bank of Chicago; the Secretary of the Board of Trustees is authorized to delegate to L. O. Kerwood and to Lois H e r r o n , of the Galesburg Division, authority to sign his name as Secretary of the Board of Trustees, to checks drawn against the same account.

On motion of Mr. Williamson, this resolution was adopted.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES SERVICE FEE IN UNDERGRADUATE DIVISIONS AT CHICAGO A N D GALESBURG (3) A recommendation that beginning with the second semester, 1946-1947, there be levied and collected from students in the Undergraduate Divisions at Chicago and at Galesburg a student activities service fee of $2.00 a semester, to be used in general accord with the principles followed for Union Building service fees at Urbana and at the Chicago Professional Colleges, to be held in trust as a student organization fund and to be expended under the direction of a joint student-faculty committee.

On motion of Mrs. Grigsby, this fee was authorized as recommended.

CONSTRUCTION O F EMPLOYEES' DRESSING A N D LOCKER ROOMS IN ILLINI U N I O N BUILDING (4) The Director of the Physical Plant Department recommends the construction of employees' dressing and locker rooms in a ground-floor area, now partly used for storage, in the Mini Union Building, the cost to be paid from the Mini Union operating surplus. Present permanent dressing room facilities are not adequate. Some of the guest rooms on the fourth floor are being used as employees' rooms because they were not furnished, but furniture is now available to equip them as sleeping rooms. Within a few years the added income from them will equal the capital expenditure for converting the storage area into dressing and locker rooms. An estimate of $7,638 has been secured from Clarence H . Siems, contractor, Urbana, for the construction of employees' dressing and locker rooms. The Director of the Physical Plant Department recommends, and the Comptroller concurs, negotiating a contract with Mr. Siems for the construction of these rooms at an estimated cost of $7,638. Bids have not been taken and it is unlikely that competitive bids can be secured.
