1936, It having been suggested at a previous meeting of the

President MoVey presented a statement by the Business Agent
in which he stated that the operation of the General Deposit plan
had not proved as satisfactory as was contemplated. The members
present were not willing to authorize return to the system of
special deposits, stating that such system would be too great a
burden on many students, However, on motion and second, it was
ordered that a room deposit of $5.00 may be required of applicants
for residence in the residence halls, this to be in addition to
the general deposit of $6.00 to be required of each student regis-
tering for eight or more hours.

On motion, duly seconded and carried, it was ordered that all
orders of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee hereto-
fore made and recorded in the Minutes, relative to Sundry Ledger

proved, This order is to apply especially to the order made by
the Executive Committee at meeting of June 30, 1934, Sec. 10, and

ed for post office box rental be classed as a student activity col-
lection, to be credited for each fee for eight or more hours, It

9, Uncollected Student Fees.
The Business Agent made the following report;
I have had checked the unpaid fees for the year 1935-
1036. The total amount for the first semester is
$1,241.18; the total amQunt for the second semester is
$2,732.12, making grand total of $3,973.30, Of this
amount approximately $l,0OO.00 is due to the NYA.
The total amount of fees collected for the year was
.232,425,50 That makes the unpaid amount.0l1 per
cent of the amount of paid fees,
Part of these fees will be collected this year
so that I think the percentage will be reduced possibly
to one per cent. It Is my opinion that the above
amount of unpaid f ees should be charged of' and not
carried as an asset,
It was ordered that all unpaid student f ees and $tudent ac-
counts for fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, be charged off and
not carried as assets on the books of the Bustnews Office,

12, New State Financial Cohttrol,
Report of Business Agent:
The Business Office is endeavoring to adjust its
accounting to the new financial system of the state,
The new system seems right in theory but changes may
have to be made in actual practice,
All purchases must be mnde through the State Divi-
sion of Purchases. This is causing some difficulty
and delay, due largely to the necessary reorganization
of that office,
It is proposed that the State Treasurer make checks
for all salaries and all bills of the University, The
salary checks have been made In this way for the first
summer school, On the whole, it is causing considerable
difficulty, but it is expected that difficulties will
disappear as $tate and University employees become
familiar with the system,

20, Grou Insurance Committee Report.
Dean Edward Wiest, Chairman, made annual report of Group In-
surance committee. This report has been printed and is ready f'r
distribution. The following excerpt was ordered inserted in the
minu tes %
To the Employees of the
University of Kentucky:
The Group Insurance Committee submits below Its
Fourth Annual Report covering the status of our group
insurance system. for the fiscal year ending May 31,
1936. The Group is insured by the Prudential Insur-
ance Company and has been operating since June 1, 1932,
EXPERIENCE RECORD
MIortality and disability claims paid from the time the
Group was organized to the present have been as followsz
Year No. of Claims Amount of Claims
1932-33 00 5
1933-1S34 4 $8,000
1934-1935 3 3,000
1935-1936 3 3,500
The growth of the Group as shown by the number of
lives insured and the amount of insurance in effect at
the close of each fiscal year is as follows:
Year No, Insured Amount of Insur-
ande
1932-33 575 1,-003,500
1933s-34 591 1,060,000
1934-35 649 1,158,500
1935-36 744 1,983,500
THE PREMIUM RATE AND GROUP DIVIDEND
The premium rate continues for the present at eighty-
four cents per month per $1,000 of insurance. This rate
resulted in the payment by the University during the last
fiscal year of a total aggregate premium of $11,390.56 and
in the payment of a dividend by the Prudential Insurance
Company to the group amounting to $5,686.63, As already
stated, the Company also paid us mortality claims amounting
to 8Y,500, The dividend payable to the Group Is the
amount that remains after a sum sufficient to meet reserve
requirementst administrative expenses, and mortality claims,
Is deducted from the total aggregate premium.
The Oommittee declide to assign $350 of the group
dividend to the General Contingency Fund and to use the
remainder in paying a portion, of, the premiums during the
eight months from October to May inclusive. This means
that for those who have been In the group for a year the
regular rate of 84 cents will be reduced to 52 cents
resulting in a net premium rate of 32 Cents per $1,000
per month from October to May inclusive. For those who
have been In the group for a shorter period than a year,
the premium reduction will be proportionately less
10.
THE GENERAL CONTINGENOY FUND
The General Contingency Fund is being accumulated
gradually out of relatively small portions of the annual
dividend received from the Company, The sums so set
aside during the past tour years are as follows:
1932-33 ---- $733.82
1933-34 -- -- IS
1934r35 ----- 365,64
1935-36 -- 360.00
The purpose of this fund Is two-fold, First, It Is
drawn upon to meet any administrative expenses that have
to be incurred by the Committee, Second, It can serve
to equalize dividends and stabilize the average gross premiAum
rate in periods of emergency.
The balance of the Fund at the close of the present
fiscal year, as shown below is S1,837.62 but a correct
statement of the balance requires a deduction of the cost
of printing this report, because this is an expense
properly chargeable to the fiseal year, 193b-36, The
fund will be invested In approved bonds.
LOCAL ADMINISTRMTIVE EENSES FOR THE YEAR

of the General Contingency Fund during the fiscal year,

however, was left to the President's judgment.

24, City Street ajiht of Way over Exeiment Station Farm,
No action was taken Inasmuch as the matter was closed as
shown by the following memorandum:
President'8s Jemorandum*
Memorandum relating to the inquiry made by Com-
missioner James J. O'Brien proposing a right-of-way
through University property from Rose Street to the
Tate's Creek Pike.
I made an appointment to see Commissioner James
J. O'Brien at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning, June
24. Dean Cooper went with me. I stated to Com-
missioner O'Brien that there was a fundamental princi-
ple Involved in the request that came from his office.
It was very important. This principle is to the ef-
fect that the taking of Experiment Station property
for City improvements would result in timt; in the Farm
being materially reduced and that once this started
there would be attempts to move the Experiment Station
and Agriculture College to some other place, I called
to the attention of Commissioner O'Brien the fact that
proposals have been made to build service roads across
the Experiment Station Farm.
Dean Cooper indicated the effect upon the property
as it now stands and the resulting loss of experiments
carried on the existing lots,
It is pointed out that a connection between the
Tates Creek Pike and Limestone Street could be secured
through Columbia Avenue, and that in the construction
of this road of approxirtely two blocks, a communicat-
ing road would be secured to the two parts of the
City Wt. O'Brien indicated that the matter had
been brought to his attention and so far as he was con-
cerned, nothing would be done about it,

a. Field House.
The proposed project for a field house or athletic practice
court prepared by request by Professor D. V. Terrell, the cost
being estimated at from $8,000,Oo to 8l0,000.00 was presented.,
The need, the location, the cost and other features of the enter-
prise were discussed at length, The oonclusion was thrt funds
not being available to cover costs of oonstructioh, no action
should be taken on the proposed project, at this time.,
b. Dean Graham's Proposals.
Applications for following projects proposed by Dean Graham
were authorized and approved
1, The construction ot a concrete lined trench through
the entire length of the East Engineering Bullding or machinie
shop, This trench Is designed to carrr the return-water
conduit of the tSteam distribution system", electric oondults
14.
for this and other buildings, steam lines for this
building, water and compressed air pipes for the ma-
chine shop itwelf , This trench will be an integral
part of this east building and if included in contract
for this building, It would have added at least
$4,000 to the contract cost. Our out-of-pocket ma-
terial expense on this project willbe less than $1,000.
2, A project for removing present equipment in
the Wendt Shop and storing same and preparing present
floor for future use. No materials necessary,
3, Laying of electric conduit. This is the first
step or leg In the study and reconditioning of the
electric light and power system of the campus, The
Utility Company has agreed to supply the recording
meter for this proposed system, and we believe the
plan will afford a considerable saving in power costs.
This particular part of the general plan is needed
because of The power requirements of the boiler-
house of the Central Heating Plant and new buildings
such as the Student Union, etc, The out-of-pocket
cost will be approximately $3,000 mainly for the electric
cable involved, To perform this work under contract
with PW.A. will cost near $10,000,
4, A project for removing equipment and wrecking
the West Engineering Building If and when this may be
desirable. No out-of-pocket expense f'or materials --
a labor job only.
You may remember that we negotiated a contribution
of $5,000 from the College of Agriculture, as part pay-
ment of cost for extending heating system to the ex-
perimental farm, I suggest the use of this fund to
old In the financing of the materials needed in these
projects, Mr. Peak now holds this $6,000 In separate
account,
c. Superintendent Crutcher's Proposals.
Applications for following projects proposed by Superinten-
dent Crutcherx were authorized and approved:
1. Room 303, Frazee Hall
(a)Remove old plastered ceiling which Is in danger-
ous condition and replace with 1II celotex.
(b)Remove stage and erect 8 x 10 platform on east
side of room,
( tInstall additional Radiation.
(d) Cut door through wall between rooms 303-A and
304.
University Materials cost --------- $16500.

2. Bxtension of W. P. A. Road and Sidewalk Project,
They are -prepared ofur-ns all .a or ana
$l500OO. in materials to finish the entire
road system consisting of 33000 sq. yds.
The Uirversity's share of Material costs
would be 81780.00. If such roads as Euclid
AVenue Entrance and those around Dairy
Produlcts Building, Stock Pavilion and Agri-
cultural Engineering Building are eliminated
the total area to be paved would be reduced
to 24000 sq. yds., which lowers University
Materials Cost to $12*96.00. I am strongly
in favor ojohing the entire job now
while th:e opportunity Is here, To finish
the 9000 sq. yds. left off by contract
would cost $5400.00.
JAp roved as to 24,000 sq. yds. cost estimated
at 1296,.00. Consideration of the remaining
part of the proposed project was continued).
3. Service Build.
