     B. Statement of President Donovan about Summer School.

     President Donovan read the following statement concerning the
operation of the summer school and method of paying for same, and
requested advice from the Executive Committee:


          Had the budget which the Governor recommended to
      the General Assembly been approved, it was our inten-
      tion to recommend that the Summer Quarter be taken
      into the University financially.   The University has
      always operated on a two semester basis (or three
      quarters since 1942) from the standpoint of its state
      appropriation.   There has been a small sum of $10,000
      appropriated by the General Assembly for the Summer
      School (Summer Quarter), but all other expenses of this
      quarter have been paid out of student fees. This has
      resulted in a very unsatisfactory financial arrangement
      for the Summer School.

            We are requesting.your permission to make up the
       budget for this next year so as to include all profes-
       sorst associate professors, assistant professors and in-
       structors for the' first summer term. For the second summer
       term, the Dean of the University will be expected to employ
       the minimum number of teachers that may be required to
       operate this term.   This period is the term when we have
       the smallest attendance in the University and the number
       of teachers required to instruct students who are enrolled
       will probably be considerably less this year than we
       normally have used.   If you approve of this plan, it will
       guarantee every member of the teaching staff now employed
