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. It has become increasingly difficult to secure employees to fill
vacancies, chiefly because the University has been unable to maintain
salary and wage scales at the level of rates for similar employment
elsewhere in the Chicago area. Many employers pay employment
agencies fees for new employees referred to them. University officials
believe that advertising would be more effective for University needs.
Part 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*
The 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.
