voted to approve the above recommendation.
Communication from Mr. Varner:
Some time ago Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pryale, through the Pryale
Foundation, assigned $50,000 here with the understanding that
it would draw interest for the life of Mr. and Mrs. Pryale.
In view of the community enthusiasm for the new theater project,
Mr. Pryale has suggested that this money be used in support
of the theater.
It is my recommendation, therefore, that we be authorized
to assign this $50,000 to the purchase of lighting and other
equipment to make the little auditorium we have usable for
the theater and that the annual interest charges be charged
against the operating budget of the theater.
On motion by Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was
voted to approve the above recommendation.
Mr. Varner reported that bids had been taken on the proposed
new dormitory but that they were in excess of the budget and
in excess of the amount of debt that could be carried by this
residence hall; and that he recommended the rejection of all
bids with the understanding that this whole project is to
be rebid in November or December.
On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was
voted to approve the above item.
