it enhances the prestige of the University. Fourth, it must be established beyond doubt that such employment in no way militates against the best interests of the University. Finally, if such employment at any time entails a contingency such as the giving of expert testimony in cases under litigation, it is understood that such testimony may never be given at the behest of private interests. It may be given only when officially requested by some agency of government. Ordinary private business of members of the faculty and other university staff, such as the investing of mcney or the hiring of labor in private undertakings, is not considered to fall within the purview of regulation by the University, provided the business is of such a character as not to damage in any way the prestige of the University, and provided it entails no loss of time or efficiency in the performance of university duties. Members of the staff who desire to engage in work outside their regular duties must, with the consent and approval of the head of the department and the dean or other administrative officer concerned, make application to the President, who will make his recommendations to the Board of Control. Such applications must state the nature of the work involved, its duration, the amount and kind of remuneration if any; and give an evaluation of its significance and value to the University and the State. This procedure must be observed, regardless of whether such employment is for compensation, or whether it is on a part-time basis, or whether it is scheduled to be done during vacation periods only. Deans and directors are required to submit annual reports to the President sum- marizing all outside work done by members of their staffs, giving brief descriptions of the nature of the work done in each case, stating the amount of remuneration, if any; and appraising the value of the work from the point of view of the University and of the State. Travel by Staff Members. It is expected that need will arise for members of the staff to travel in the performance of their professional duties. The policy of the University in regard to such necessary travel is of course determined in some degree by the problems of an administrative order that are created by the absence, however justifiable, of faculty members from their regular duties on the campus. Because of the difficulty of dealing with these problems, the University must per- force confine its encouragement and support to travel of a kind that will contribute most effectively to its program as an institution of higher learning. A certain part of the travel budget approved for the University by the Board of Control is allocated to each department. The staff member who wishes to travel submits his request to the department head, who in turn forwards it, if he approves it, to the dean or director concerned. If the latter approves it, he sends it with his recommendation to the Business Manager who will, if funds are available, forward it to the Vice-President of the University for final approval. There are three categories for the payment of individual travel expense by the by the University, all subject to the availability of funds: 1. The University will pay all necessary expenses for administrative officers, or others officially representing the University; or for deans and other administrative officers attending one association meeting a year. 2. The University will pay all necessary expenses for travel benefiting the University mainly, and the individual faculty member incidentally. This means, for example, that if a faculty member is an officer of a learned or scientific organization, or has been invited to present a paper before such a gathering, the University will pay all necessary expenses for travel.
