employees, and (2) an equitable arrangement, with respect to the cost of living, between the academic and the nonacademic staffs. It is clear from the change in the index and from the Governor's pronouncement that there will be a need for a 10 per cent adjustment, since University employees, both academic and nonacademic, will expect to share in any state-wide increase based upon cost of living. I recommend, therefore, that Item III-A in the budget for I95I-I953, Salary and Wage Increases, be further revised from $3,600,000 to $4,800,000 in order to provide a fund equal to 10 per cent of the total salary and wage item and that the budget askings be revised upward by the sum of $1,200,000, to a total of $76,991,791. O n motion of M r . Johnston, the biennial operating budget for 1951-1953 w a s revised as recommended. APPOINTMENT OF LOUIS B. HOWARD AS ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION (2) Professor William E. Carroll, Associate Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, will retire from active service at the end of the current academic year. To replace him as Associate Director, I recommend the appointment of Dr. Louis B. Howard, now Professor and Head of the Department of Food Technology, to the combined positions of Professor and Head of the Department of Food Technology and Associate Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, at an annual salary of $14,000 (AY, BY basis). His appointment as Professor and Head of the Department will be, as at present, on indefinite tenure; his appointment as Associate Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station will be for two years from September 1, 1951, in keeping with the statutory provision of biennial tenure for deans and directors.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, this appointment was approved as recommended.
