Change in Departmental Organization, Department of Pharmacy Practice, College of Pharmacy, Chicago (8) The faculty of the Department of Pharmacy Practice, College of Pharmacy, Chicago, has requested a change from the present chairperson organization to a headship form of departmental organization, effective November 1, 1982. Upon written request of the faculty of the department and in accord with the University of Illinois Statutes, the dean of the College of Pharmacy polled by secret written ballot the voting faculty of the department. The vote was 28 for and 2 against a change to a headship form of organization. The chancellor and the dean of the College of Pharmacy concur in this request. I recommend approval.

Amendment of Regulations Governing Procurement and Bidding at State Systems Universities in Illinois (9) The Illinois Purchasing Act has been amended by increasing the bid threshold from $2,500 to $5,000, by repealing Section 11 of the Act which required a seller's certification on invoice vouchers, and by making other changes relating to dollar requirements for advertising and ownership declarations. The previous bid threshold of $2,500 was established in November 1973. The University supported the increase to $5,000 on the ground that the change maintained the proper balance between the objectives of competitive bidding and economical procurement practices. The executive vice president has recommended amendment of the Regulations Governing Procurement and Bidding at State Systems Universities in Illinois1 to reflect the changed dollar amounts and to make the document consistent with the Illinois Purchasing Act (revised sections of the regulations are filed with the secretary for record). Upon approval, the amended regulations will be processed in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. I concur. On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved. Agreement for Services with Ozark Air Lines, Willard Airport, 1982-83 (10) The present agreement with Ozark Air Lines for services provided by the University at the Willard Airport Administration Building, including operation and maintenance service, expired June 30, 1982. With authorization from the Board of Trustees, it has been extended on a month-to-month basis through October 1982, with the understanding that the rates in the new agreement would be retroactive to July 1, 1982. 1 Concurrent action to amend the regulations is being taken by the Board of Governors, the Board of Regents, and the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University.
