Sec. to sign \ contracts with Vets. Adm. \ Recommendation from the Administrative Group and the Faculty that there be set up a class of employees known as Assistants (quarter-time, half-time, and full-time) as distinguished from graduate assistants, graduate scholars, and graduate fellows. These assistants are to be paid at rates csrame'nsurate with the extent and importance of service rendered, and it is recommended that these amounts be separate and independent from any scholarships of any kind that they may hold, except that the maintenance of Partial Maintenance scholarships will be reduced in the same proportion that th^^^umbe^-^ pert-ion—tea* the number of credits carried bears to 12 credits. These assistantships do not exempt the holder from paying college fees. The adoption of this recommendation would involve a slight modification of previous action by the State Board on April 28, 193-3, which exempts part-time assistants, graduate assistants, and graduate fellows, receiving $1200 or less, from tern fees and out-of-state fees. The part-time assistants would have to be eliminated from that action.

Report on the legislative contacts relative to appropriations- 21. Discussion of building progress on the permanent and temporary buildings. 22. The PPHA will not permit the inclusion of insurance as an operating cost. If buildings are lost by fire, they will not require their replacement. The insurance rate on the trailers is so high as to make it seem unwise to carry fire insurance on them at college expense. The barracks-type buildings, being more substantial, involving four or six apartments per building are more permanent and will have some value to the College when no longer needed for veteran student housing. The insurance rate is indicated to be approximately $^.00 per apartment per year. On motion of Mr. Brody, seconded by Mr. Armstrong, it was voted to approve the carrying of insur- ance on the EPHA barracks. 23• Consideration of the Comptrollership. On motion of Mr. Akers, seconded by Miss Jones, it was voted to approve the following action: The Board has a sincere appreciation for the effective services rendered by Mr. Pierson for the many months he has been Acting Comptroller.
