I concur and recommend that the Vice-President and Comptroller be authorized to enter into an agreement embodying the above principles, such agreement to be approved by the Legal Counsel.

On motion of Mr. Williamson, authority was given as recommended.

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS OF DOROTHY MAE BRYANT A N D WILLARD E. TRINKLE (15) On March 12, 1957, I presented to the Committee on General Policy a report from the University Committee on Accident Compensation, which hears claims presented by University employees under the Workmen's Compensation Act, of two claims filed after the one-year period provided by the statute of limitations but which the Committee advised should nevertheless be acknowledged as valid and paid due to mitigating circumstances. These are the cases of Willard E. Trinkle who is employed as a driver for the Physical Plant warehouse, Urbana, and Mrs. Dorothy Mae Bryant (nee Dorothy Mae Hicks) who was employed as a janitress in the Physical Plant Department, Chicago Professional Colleges. Both of these employees sustained injuries while engaged in their University work. I have authorized payment of these claims as follows: Willard E. Trinkle, $4,100, and Dorothy Mae Bryant, $918; and request confirmation of my action. As a matter of further information on these cases, I submit a report prepared by the Legal Counsel, a copy of which is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. The receipts and releases of the two claimants have also been filed with the Secretary. T h i s report was received for record. CHANGES IN SCHEDULES OF SPECIAL FEES (16) The Committee on Fees and Scholarships recommends the following changes in special fees: Child Development Laboratory School. An increase in the tuition fees from the present fees of $12.50 per semester and $8.00 for the summer session to $25.00 per semester and $15.00 for the summer session, effective September 1, 1957. The present fee is not adequate to cover the cost of materials used by the children, e.g. paint, clay, paste, drawing papers. The proposed fee is reasonable in the light of services to parents and children (there being no other charge) and is consistent with the recent increases in tuition fees charged University students. Fees for Use of University Recreational Facilities. The University of Illinois Statutes authorize the President of the University to permit use of its recreational facilities by individuals not students or members of the faculty under such conditions and terms as he may prescribe. Each year a number of persons (such as Chanute Air Force Base personnel, local business and professional men, wives of members of the faculty, and husbands of nonacademic personnel) are permitted the use of recreational facilities under this authorization and are charged fees. The present schedule of such fees was adopted in 1940. The Dean of the College of Physical Education has recommended, and the Committee on Fees and Schedules concurs, that the following revised schedule of fees be authorized: Recreational sports fee for visitors, per semester $12 00 Recreational sports fee for visitors, for the summer term 6 00 Recreational sports fee for wives (or husbands) of members of the faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students, per semester.. 6 00 Recreational sports fee for wives (or husbands) of members of the faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students, for the summer term 3 00 Present separate charges of $1.00 for locker, $.50 for towels, and $1.00 deposit for padlock to be discontinued as the charges for these services have been included in the new basic fee. I recommend approval of these revisions.

On motion of Mr. Johnston, these changes in fees were approved.
