494 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 10 Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with Hatfield Electric Company, Rosemont, be increased by $45,882 for the work described. Funds are available from private gift funds through the University of Illinois Foundation and from funds appropriated by the State of Illinois. On motion of Mr. Wolff, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Evenson, Mr. Wylie; no, none.) Increase in Contract (Wail Covering, Stair Walls), Beckman Institute, Urbana (25) On April 9, 1987, the Board of Trustees authorized a contract for $2,784,647 with Allied Construction Services, Inc., Peoria, for the drywall, plaster, acoustical ceilings, painting/wall coverings and related work for the Beckman Institute at the Urbana campus.

All of the corridors are finished with vinyl wallcovering, a more durable and attractive finish than paint, and one believed to be best for the stair walls as well. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with Allied Construction Services, Inc., Peoria, be increased by $28,479 for the work described. Funds are available from private gift funds through the University of Illinois Foundation and from funds appropriated by the State of Illinois. O n m o t i o n of M r .
