BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[February 27

liquidating loan. T h e amount which can be amortized will be about one-third of the total. Among the Federal housing units supplied to the University a r e 331 family units available for assignment to staff members if so needed. These units a r e now subject to ( a ) limitation by the government to veteran use, and ( b ) limitation to student use because the University funds used for their construction came entirely from a student residence hall appropriation. University officers have applied to t h e government for a relaxation of the ruling which permits only veterans to use these houses. (Such a relaxation has been secured for the Galesburg division.) I t is now proposed that the special State appropriation be applied in part toward the Federal units to compensate for the use of a portion of them by members of the staff. It is also proposed to incorporate the additional $250,000 with the request for a State appropriation of $2,200,000 for housing. I recommend that the Board authorize an additional staff housing project to acquire 25 units according to the following plan: 1. Total estimated cost, $238,450, including sites, buildings, and other necessary construction work. 2. Estimated net annual income available for debt service, $8,236. 3. Estimated amount which can be borrowed and amortized on income, $70,700. 4. A request to the General Assembly for an appropriation of $250,000 for staff housing to be used in part for completion of the new project and in part for expenditures on Federal housing units that may be used for staff members, the understanding being that the present State appropriation of $140,000 made for the purchase of student housing be allowed to lapse. 5. A request to the University of Illinois Foundation to cooperate in securing the needed loan for this project. O n m o t i o n of D r .
