MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT STODDARD

The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University.

INTERNAL BUDGET OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FOR 1 9 4 9 - 1 9 5 0 (1) The Director of Intercollegiate Athletics submits, on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association, the budget of the Association for 1949-1950 which is summarized as follows with comparative figures for the preceding year: 1948-1949 Original Revised 1949-1950 Estimate Estimate Proposed Income #636 740 #771 906 #754 100 Expenditures: Budget appropriations 636 144 655 466 739 199 Special appropriations 53 458 10 000 Total (636 144) (708 924) (749 199) Excess of income over expenditures... . $ 596 $ 62 982 $ 4 901 On July 1, 1948, the Athletic Association had a net operating surplus of $91,221 and a reserve for plant maintenance of $12,523. It is estimated that on June 30, 1949, the operating surplus will be $179,203 after allowing for an estimated lapse in 1948-1949 appropriations of $25,000 and that the reserve for plant maintenance will remain $12,523. The budget has been examined by the Provost and the Comptroller, and all salaries have been reviewed by the President; those salaries paid jointly by the Athletic Association and the School of Physical Education have been approved by the Director of the School of Physical Education. The budget includes an appropriation of $10,000 to be allocated by the Board of Directors for contingency expenditures not to exceed $1,000 for any one item. I recommend that this budget be approved and that the President of the University be authorized to make such changes and adjustments, including approval of new appointments and acceptances of resignations, as are necessary and recommended by the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association within the total estimated income, such changes to be reported to the Board of Trustees.
