To furnish the necessary material and labor to revise the steam distribution system serving cafeteria cooking equipment. These changes result from recommendations of the University's Safety Coordinator, the Superintendent of Utilities, and the operating staff of the Illini Union. Student Services Building: An increase in the contract with Cunningham Electric Company, Anna, Illinois of 6 352 11 For electrical work to add a buzzer light system for the second floor. This installation was in the original planning but was excluded from the electrical contract when it was awarded because of the uncertainty of adequate funds being available. Since sufficient funds are now available, the installation is being reinstated. Assembly Hall: An increase in the contract with Felmley-Dickerson Company of 39 853 80 For air conditioning of three areas of the Assembly Hall, one of which will include the reception, lounge, dining, kitchen, and office spaces; another the dressing rooms and backstage operational quarters, and the third, the television studio. These installations were included in the original plans and specifications but were deferred to keep the total contract commitments within the available funds. The additional financing proposed will provide the necessary funds for this improvement. Labor and Industrial Relations Building: Increases in the contract with English Brothers Company of 12 665 88 To reinstate items which were omitted when the contract was let because of the uncertainty that sufficient funds would be available, including painting of concrete ceilings and masonry walls, installation of resilient flooring and rubber base in twenty-eight rooms, and installation of Venetian blinds for north and south walls and in three rooms. I concur.

On motion of Mrs. Watkins, these changes in contracts were authorized, as recommended.

ADDITION TO CONTRACT FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES ON UNION BUILDING AT CONGRESS CIRCLE (35) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller request approval of a change in the contract with C. F. Murphy Associates (formerly Naess and Murphy) for architectural services for the Union Building at Congress Circle to include authorization to employ the firm of Fred Schmid Associates, Chicago, as consultants on food service facilities to be included in this building. It is estimated the cost of such services will not exceed $12,500. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . J o h n s t o n , t h i s c h a n g e in t h e c o n t r a c t w a s a u t h o r ized.
