In connection with the certification of the election of members as
stated above, thepolicy of determining the "personnel for election"
adopted by the Committee on Elections, should be explained, You will recallthi
the Report of the Committee of Fifteen provides that ”at the expiration
of any term, a member shall be ineligibel for reelection until one year
has passed." This provision the Committee on Elections interpreted to
apply to "terms" as prescribed in the Reprot of the Committee of Fifteen,
but not to "unexpired terms”, regardless of whether such unexpired terms are
filled by appointment or by election. The Committee felt that to bar persons
from election after having served for short periods would work an injustice
in many cases.

It should probably also be reported that three votes were sent to
the Committee without the signatures of the voters and five were sent a day p
late. These ballots were therefore not counted.
Sincarely yours.
Signed a EDWARD WIEST

Dean Taylor announced the twentyosecond annual Educational Conference, and
the meeting of the Kentucky Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, Octo -
bar 25 and 26, and expressed the hope that the members of the Faculty would
support the program by their attendance.

President Donovan commented on the increased enrollment this Quarter and
stated that he was optomistic about the future of the University. He expressed
some concern, however, over the possibility that the state income tax would be
repealed, thus decreasing the amount of money that would be available to the
University. He announced that the Federal Housing Administration had approved
the University's application for 200 pre-fabricated houses and that there was
a possibility that another hundred might be obtained. These houses are to be
used for married veterans and their families.
