SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR OPERATING EXPENSES (7) I recommend that the following appropriations be made from the General Reserve Fund, on a nonrecurring basis, to provide additional operating funds needed for the balance of the fiscal year 1956-57: Office of Nonacademic Personnel $5 000 Chicago Professional Colleges Office $3 800 Chicago Undergraduate Division Office 1 200 This is primarily for the expenses of advertising for employees in Chicago.

Many employers pay employment agencies fees for new employees referred to them. University officials believe that advertising would be more effective for University needs. P a r t of the additional appropriation requested is to cover other increased costs of the Nonacademic Personnel Office in the Chicago Professional Colleges. Citizens Committee 2 5* T h e Executive Committee of the Citizens Committee has approved a plan to hold three regional meetings (in the southern, central, and northern regions of the State) each year in addition to an annual general meeting of the Committee. Accordingly, there will be three regional meetings and a general meeting this year and the additional funds requested are to cover the cost of these meetings. On motion of Mrs. Holt, these appropriations were made by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mr. Herrick, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Megran, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Stratton.
