1973] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 253 Be It Further Resolved: The following officers of the Board of Trustees and of the University of Illinois be and hereby are designated as the managerial group having the authority and the responsibility for the negotiation, execution, and administration of User Agency contracts and all of the duties and responsibilities pertaining to the protection of classified information: President, Secretary, and Comptroller of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois; and President, Vice President for Financial Affairs, Vice President for Planning and Allocation, and University Counsel of the University of Illinois. On motion of Mr. Livingston, the foregoing resolution was adopted. RENAMING O F M E N ' S O L D GYMNASIUM AS H. E. KENNEY GYMNASIUM, URBANA (21) On March 21, 1973, the Committee on Buildings and Grounds approved and now recommends that the Men's Old Gymnasium on the Urbana campus be renamed the H. E. Kenney Gymnasium. Dr. Kenney, who died February 22, 1972, devoted forty-two years of service to the University as a student and staff member. He received both bachelor's and master's degrees from Illinois. Returning here in 1929 as wrestling coach, he established the finest record of any Big Ten coach. He served as chairman of the basic instruction program in physical education and later as Assistant Dean in charge of college facilities of the College of Physical Education. The present name, Men's Old Gymnasium, has been termed awkward and confusing. Presently, since both men and women make use of the facility, it b also inappropriate. Thus it appears especially appropriate to rename this building in honor of a devoted member of the faculty for whom it was a primary base of activity for most of his professional career. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved. CONTRACT FOR INSTALLATION O F SUPERVISORY CONTROL SYSTEM IN CLASSROOM BUILDINGS. CHICAGO CIRCLE (22) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends award of a contract in the amount of $39,900 to Hiram Electrical Contractors, Inc., Chicago, the only bidder, on its base bid for the installation of the supervisory control system for Burnham, Addams, and Taft Halls at the Chicago Circle campus. Funds are available in State capital appropriations to the University and have been released by the Governor. Bids for this project were previously received by the University on February 15, 1973, but the bids exceeded the funds available and accordingly were rejected. Subsequently, the project was rebid on March 23,1973. On motion of Mr. Swain, this contract was awarded by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Livingston, Mrs. Rader, Air. Steger, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Mr. Neal, Governor Walker. EMPLOYMENT OF ARCHITECT FOR REMODELING IN GENERAL HOSPITAL B U I L D I N G , MEDICAL CENTER (23) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends the employment of Schmidt, Garden & Erikson, Chicago, for professional architectural services for remodeling the third floor south and west of the General Hospital Building at the Medical Center campus for the Dermatology Department and the in-patient area of the Department of Gynecology. The fee will be based on the actual cost of personnel, j>lus 150 per cent for overhead and profit, plus reimbursables authorized by the University and will not exceed $30,000. Funds are available in the University of Illinois Hospital patient income account. The Buildings and Grounds Committee has approved this recommendation. On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Howard, Mr, Hughes, Mr,
