appoint a joint board-faculty recruitment committee; and be it ©

the synodical or district recruitment committees in an aggressive
and selective recruitment effort; and be it further

for equivalent training, experience, and positions at comparable
schools of the constituent synods, with a view to equalizing them
and maintaining an equitable balance as the cost of living changes.

Young Memorial Residence Hall for girls of this institution; and

Wuereas, It would be unwise to expend these funds on the
present campus already overcrowded and handicapped for future
expansion; and

Wuersas, There is a present opportunity to acquire an ad-
equate, attractive new site which will allow for gradual transfer
from the existing campus and a relocation in a setting suitable
for this school for many years to come; and

Wuereas, No other acceptable site is available in the neigh-
borhood of our school; be it therefore

Resolved, That the Board of Trustees of the Synodical Con-
ference be authorized to acquire the basic sixty or more acres of
the Barrett Tract, with added acreage at lower cost in the adjacent
area, on the N.E. corner of the intersection of Range Street and
Highway 14 at Selma, on which location we have an option until
September 15, 1958; and be it further
