In order to provide a better understanding  and promote unif orrnity in the entertaining
of off-campus groups, we recommend the follomng:
• 1.  That the President appoint a standing committee to be knowii as a Conference Committee
tvhich vd.ll act on all requests of off-campus organisations and groups for meetings
on the campus.

2.  If the above Committee approves the request, it shall then be the duty of the Direc-

tor of Short Courses to handle all the details of entertainment and service.

4*  Michigan State College-Sponsored One Day Meetings:

Feeders Day, Onion Growers, Muck Farmers, Dahlia Growers, etc*
These are of special departmental interest and the major expanses incidental to
these meetings' should be borne by.'departmental'funds*.

5*  .Michigan State College—Sponsored Conference Courses:

Feed Dealers, Hatcherymen, Fruit Growers, Pickle Packers, Hotel Administration,
Forced Warm Air Heating, etc*  These are organizations which vio.sh to meet at the
College for two or more days and wish a definite program of instruction*  The
College is to charge a course fee of $1.00 plus laboratory fee if necessary to
cover all expenses of speakers, programs, "abstracts and other necessary expenses.

6*.  Organized Groups:

In case of organized groups with which the College regularly, cooperates or wishes
to cooperate such: as Social Workers, M. E* A.,  Farm Bureau, Michigan Milk Pro-
ducers, etc., the Conference Committee vn.ll work out with such organizations the
• arrangements, necessary and the portion of expenses involved to be paid by the
organization.

7.  Miscellaneous Groups: -

•In case of any other group outside the above, the College is to collect a fee to
be determined by the Conference .Committee and representatives of the group Y/hich
shall be sufficient to pay for all expenses incidental to the conference.

MISCELLANEOUS, continued

18.  (Continued)

8.  Commercial Exhibits' and Shows: Related to College Interests:

Road'Show, • Horse Shov/, Well. Drillers,. Fana Machinery, Dog Show, Shrine Circus,
Rabbit Show,-'Pigeon Show,: etc.  In raost Instances these organizations sell exhibit
space and sane charge an -admittance, ~ the money received going into the treasury
to be-used in financing the organizationj charity, etc.  We believe it would be
more satisfactory if these groups were not permitted to sell concession space.
However, the precedent has been established and it would be extremely difficult
to discontinue at this tine.
These organizations may be permitted by the Conference Committee to use Demonstra-
tion Hall, Livestock Judging Pavilion and In some instances the Field House*  Each
organization must pay for all expenses incurred and services rendered.  It is the
policy of the College that the charge made for space or charge for admittance by
such groups be just sufficient to take care of the necessary expense.of the show
or exhibit.  The exceptions would be the Shrine Circus, proceeds of which-are used
for charity* together with certain shows or exhibits of long standing.  All groups
or organizations making such charges .will be requested to file a financial statement
of their show, meeting or exhibit with:the College Conference Committee at the close
of the occasion.

9*  Other Commercial Exhibits:

Other commercial or outside interests which may desire to use any college building or
facilities should be charged a rental fee comparable to that of off-campus rentals
and should be requested to observe and conform  to all campus rules and regulations.
Such exhibits should not be encouraged.
10.  Livestock sales:  Cattle, Horses, Hogs, etc.

Only recognized State Breed Associations shall be allowed to held sales on College
property.  Each organisation shall be required to pay the College for all expenses
incurred and for services rendered*

11.  There shall not be any shows or exhibits of a commercial nature open on Sunday.
12.  All organizations which wish to have food, soft drink or ether concessions in connec-

tion with their exhibits or conferences must have the approval of the Concession Committee,

13.  We recommend that Insofar as is possible each of the various departments which furnish

services to the various visiting organizations> set up a system of fixed charges so that
an organization may know the amount charged for various services when making preliminary
arrangements for a meeting, or conference on the campus.  These charges are to be made
available to the Conference Committee so that printed lists may be published*

14•  Organizations not making satisfactory financial arrangements with the Business Office of

the College will be denied future privileges.

15*  All other problems or questions concerning conferences, conventions, shows, etc. shall

be referred to the Conference Committee for action.
