Contract for Computer Services for M e d i c a l Service Plan Billing, M e d i c a l Center (19) The president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of a contract for the purchase of computer services from Kuhn, Olson and West, Inc., Munster, Indiana, for an amount not to exceed $84,000. These services will be used for computer operations of the new patient billing system for the Medical Service Plan of the Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine. T h e contract covers the period from September 1979 to June 1980. In a previous contract with Kuhn, Olson and West, Inc., the University paid for the modification of the company's computer system to meet the needs of the Medical Service Plan of the Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine. This work has been completed. In order to provide sufficient time to ensure valid implementation with no defects in programming, it will be necessary to obtain services for a period of seven to ten months. The contract provides for termination at an earlier date if there are no problems in the implementation. Funds are available in the operating budget of the College of Medicine for FY 1980. The vice president for administration concurs in this recommendation. Agreement with Demonstrator's Association of Illinois, Medical Center (20) T h e University purchases anatomical specimens required for instruction and research from the Demonstrator's Association of Illinois, a nonprofit corporation chartered to secure such specimens for medical and other schools. T h e University is represented on the Board of Directors of the association. Participating institutions pay the association for services rendered, the charges in each case being based on the number and type of specimens delivered. The charges are sufficient to cover the costs of preparing and delivering specimens. T h e construction of the association's building at 2240 Fillmore Street, Chicago, in 1954, was financed by loans or advance payments for services from the five medical schools in Chicago, the College of Osteopathy, and the Cook County Graduate School of Medicine. In 1977, the Board of Directors of the Demonstrator's Association of Illinois upgraded and expanded its facilities. A major renovation and expansion has been completed at a total cost of $473,398. In addition to funds available in a building reserve, the association obtained financing in the form of a note for $310,000, secured by a mortgage on the existing and expanded facilities. The association has asked the University for an advance payment of $20,000 for specimens to be furnished in return for which the University will be relieved of extra charges for the anatomical specimens it will purchase from the associa-
