For t h e electrical work, alternate bids were taken on substituting incandescent for fluorescent lighting. It is recommended that t h e electrical contract be awarded to R. A. Bland Electric Company, Champaign, Illinois, which, on t h e basis of t h e alternate bid, is t h e lowest bidder, at a net figure of $36,665. For the mechanical work, it is recommended that awards be made to the lowest bidders as follows: Heating contract—Reliable Plumbing and Heating Company, Champaign $28 308 Plumbing contract—W. T.

(The sum of $9,000 has been expended for plans and specifications as authorized by the Board on November 19, 1948.) The sum of $207,500 is available in the State appropriation for capital purposes, subject to release by the Governor. The remainder, or $rr2,50O, will require an appropriation from the General Reserve. I recommend that (1) these contracts be awarded and that t h e Comptroller and t h e Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute them; (2) a supplementary appropriation of $112,500 be made from General Reserve for this project.

APPOINTMENTS TO T H E 1 9 5 0 SUMMER SESSION STAFF (3) I submit the budget for the 1950 Summer Session. I t provides for an eight-week session at Urbana-Champaign and t h e Chicago Undergraduate Division (see Appendix, page 1138). Salaries of all members of t h e faculty who are recommended for appointments to t h e Summer Session staff are computed on t h e basis of two-ninths of t h e salary of the academic year for two months of summer service. This is in accordance with the terms of employment of t h e academic, administrative, research, and extension staffs authorized by the Board of Trustees on January 8, 1948 (Minutes, page 952). No additional compensation is paid to staff members whose regular appointments require services on a full-year basis. The budget totals $538,494 for Urbana-Champaign, $91,186 for t h e Chicago Undergraduate Division, and $20,000 to be assigned by t h e Dean of the Summer Session in terms of enrollment demands. I recommend that: 1. The appointments to t h e Summer Session staff and the allocation for unassigned salaries be approved as submitted.
