APPROPRIATIONS BY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (24) The Board of Directors of the Athletic Association has approved deficiency appropriations, totaling $12,000, for the 1956-57 fiscal year as follows: basketball, $3,000; gymnastics, $1,000; personnel, $2,000; publicity, $4,000; wrestling, $1,200; and concessions, $800. The deficit in publicity and concessions resulted primarily from a greater volume of sales of programs and concessions than anticipated, thus requiring further purchases, but this of course, resulted in increased income from those sources. Most of the other deficiencies are in traveling expenses. These adjustments in the Athletic Association budget are reported for confirmation. O n m o t i o n of M r .

RICHARDSON AND ASSOCIATES FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES (25) On July 25, 1956, the Board of Trustees authorized award of a contract to Ambrose M. Richardson and Associates for design work on the Women's Residence Hall, Men's Residence Hall, Fine Arts Center, campus plan studies, and for consulting services on other buildings, on a cost-plus basis, with a maximum of $37,000. The amount of work requested of Mr. Richardson's firm has been greater than anticipated and the Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend increasing the contract to a maximum of $42,300. Funds are available in appropriations for the projects on which services will be performed. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute the requested increase in the contract. O n m o t i o n of M r s .

ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES ON NEW BUILDINGS (26) The Committee on Buildings and Grounds at a meeting held on June 20, 1957, considered recommendations for the employment of architects on new building projects as shown below. The recommendations were supported by reports from the Director of the Physical Plant presenting the scope and nature of each project, the criteria set up for each, and the architectural firms considered qualified in terms of these criteria. The following recommendations for employment of architects are submitted with the concurrence of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds: Student Services Building — Perkins and Will, Chicago This firm proposes to provide complete architectural and engineering services for a fee of 6 per cent of contracts with the understanding that: They are not to be paid more than $22,500 if the project does not proceed beyond the study stage.
