A final comprehensive written examination in health education may be required, depending upon the program of courses and the accomplishment in Seminar and the thesis. This proposal has been approved by the School of Physical Education and the Executive Faculty of the Graduate College. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Hickman, this recommendation was adopted.

C H A N G E IN T H E DOCTORATE DEGREE IN LIBRARY SCIENCE

(5) The University Senate recommends that the degree of Doctor of Library Science be abolished and that in its place the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Library Science be conferred upon candidates meeting the requirements for the doctorate in that field of graduate study. This is simply a change in the degree and does not affect the graduate program. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Herrick, this recommendation was adopted.

CHANGES I N FEE STRUCTURE

(6) The University requires the following deposits of students registered in the colleges and schools in Urbana-Champaign: 1. General deposit of $5 to insure payment of library fines, unretumed towels and locks and broken laboratory equipment issued to students. 2. Military deposit of $10 to insure return of military equipment. (This is collected at registration from students in basic ROTC and is refunded at the end of the second semester of each year.) 3. Housing deposit of $25 from students contracting for rooms in the residence halls and $10 from students contracting for quarters in temporary housing facilities. This is credited to the lessee's account as the final payment due under the lease. 4. A key deposit of $1 required of students to whom any kind of key is issued. Administration of these deposits involves much bookkeeping. For example, library fines for holding books beyond the specified time limit if not paid at the library are charged against the general deposit of $5 and, if this falls below $2.50, students are required to bring it up to $5. The Committee on Fees and Scholarships has been studying this and makes the following recommendations for the Urbana-Champaign campus: 1. The collection of the $5 general deposit shall be discontinued as of the 1951 summer session registration, and all outstanding balances shall be returned to depositors after the close of such summer session. 2. The military deposit shall be eliminated as of June I, 1951, and officers in the Armed Forces (Departments of Military Science, Naval Science, and Air Force Science) who are responsible for instruction in the various basic courses in these departments shall be instructed to report a grade of "E" in each case where military equipment is not returned or payment made for shortages at the close of the academic year. _ 3. Effective September I, 1951, the Housing Division shall be authorized to require a deposit in accordance with the types of accommodation, but not to exceed $25, at the time leases are executed, this deposit to be retained until termination of the lease, or of occupancy in cases of lease renewal, and to be returned to lessee minus any outstanding charges when occupancy of quarters is terminated. 4. No special key deposit shall be required after September 1, 1951.
