REGULATIONS REGARDING ASSESSMENT OF RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT FEES (9) The Committee on Fees recommends a modification of Rules 14 and 15 in the "Regulations Governing Assessment of Resident and Nonresident Fees," adopted by the Board of Trustees on December 17, 1957, to read as follows: "14. Persons who are actively serving in one of the Armed Forces of the United States and who are stationed and present in the State of Illinois in connection with that service, and the spouses and children of such persons, shall be permitted to attend the University upon paying the same tuition and other fees assessed against resident students as long as such first mentioned person remains so stationed and present in this State and the spouse or child attending the University is also living in this State. "15. Staff members and the spouses and children of staff members of the University on full time appointment at the University shall be permitted to attend the University upon paying the same tuition and other fees assessed against resident students during the period the staff member holds such appointment and is performing the duties of the University position to which he has been appointed." I concur.

On motion of Mr. Williamson, these amendments were approved.
