PUBLICATION CONTRACT AND ASSIGNMENT OF COPYRIGHT (19) During the summer of 1969, as part of his assigned duties, Professor Arnold M. Tibbetts prepared a rhetoric "package" which included a syllabus, teacher's manual, and rhetoric reader. This material will be utilized in the development of a unified rhetoric program. Scott, Foresman and Company, Educational Publishers, are interested in publishing this work under the tentative title "Readings and Pre-Writing." Since Professor Tibbetts was commissioned by the University to prepare these materials, the University is a necessary party to any contract relinquishing rights to a publisher. The Scott, Foresman and Company proposal has been reviewed by various administrators and it is recommended that the University and the author, Professor Tibbetts, be authorized to enter into a contract with that Company for the publication of the work. It is proposed that royalties resulting from the contract be distributed in accordance with the policy adopted in the Board of Trustees meeting of May 21, 1969, for division of royalties. Consistent with that policy, the contract will provide that royalties up to a total of $5,000 may be paid to Professor Tibbetts, with any amount in excess of $5,000 to be divided 50 per cent to the University and 50 per cent to Professor Tibbetts. The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, the Executive Vice President and Provost, the Vice President and Comptroller, and the University Counsel recommend approval of this proposal. I concur.

In approving the proposal, the last sentence was amended to read: " . . . within 90 (ninety) days after the filing of the patent application." (Changes underscored.) The Stewart Warner Corporation has indicated that it will not accept this change.
