1957] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 527
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
AND 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.
This 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.
