402 BOARD OF TRUSTEES
ADJUSTMENTS IN 1956-57 BUDGET AND
SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS
Appropriations for the President's Office
Due to increased costs of operation, a supplementary appropriation is needed
for the expense and equipment budgets of the President's Office. I request a
nonrecurring appropriation of $10,000 from the General Reserve Fund for this
purpose for the balance of the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1957.
Members of the General Assembly of Illinois will be invited to make an
official visit to the Urbana-Champaign campus on May 9 and 10, 1957, for the
purpose of inspection and conferences with University officials. I request that
an assignment of $4,000 be made to the Public Functions Fund of the President's
Office to cover the expense of this visitation.
Appropriation for the Board of Trustees Office
The Secretary of the Board requests a supplementary appropriation of $2,000
for the expense and equipment budget of the Board of Trustees office. The
major part of this additional appropriation is for the expenses of the work on the
University of Illinois Statutes and the cost of printing the new edition.
Architectural Services on University Club
The Board of Trustees has authorized the employment of Atkins-Barrow and
Associates, Champaign, as architects for the University Club building at the
standard fee of 6 per cent of construction costs, but the firm has agreed to
accept $6,000 as payment for services until financing of the project has been
completed. However, no assignment of funds has been made for these services.
I recommend that an appropriation of $6,000 be made from the General
Reserve Fund.
On motion of Mrs. Watkins, appropriations were made by the following vote:
Aye, Mr. Livingston, Mrs. Watkins; no, none; absent, Mr. Johnston.
These acts of the Committee will be reported to the Board of Trustees at its
meeting on April 18, 1957, and the report will be incorporated in the minutes of
that meeting.
The Executive Committee adjourned.
