UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ADJUSTMENTS IN SALARIES O F ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PERSONNEL

605

(5) The Board of Directors of the Athletic Association recommends adjustments in the salaries of various members of the staff of the Association in accordance with a schedule, copies of which are hereby filed with the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board for record as amendments of the budget of the Association for the current fiscal year beginning July I, 1950. The Board of Directors recommends that these changes, and changes in subsequent years, be effective on March 1. The financial condition of the Association for any given year is definitely known on that date, and not at the beginning of the fiscal year. I recommend that these adjustments be approved effective March 1, 1951, and that in the future changes in salaries and wage scales of Athletic Association personnel be made as of March 1 each year instead of July 1.

On motion of Mr. Hickman, these adjustments in salaries were approved as recommended.

He has requested a hearing and is entitled to the same. It is recommended that a Committee be appointed to hear the charges and to make a recommendation to the Board.

(7) At the meeting on January 23, 1951, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees concurred in the recommendation of the Buildings and Grounds Committee "that it desires to achieve a mutually agreeable termination of the (Katsinas) lease." Following conferences between the representative of the Katsinas estate (Mr. Norval Hodges) and representatives of the University (Mr. Lloyd Morey, Comptroller, and Mr. Charles S. Havens, Director of the Physical Plant), Mr. Hodges offered to terminate the lease at the earliest date acceptable to the University on receipt of payment for the unamortized value of the equipment and improvements at the date of termination. As of March 1, 1951, the required payment would be $67,812.39. Since the leased space will become available to the University in any event on August 31, 1952, consideration of this offer should be based upon the answers to two questions: (a) Does the University have a substantial need for this space
