1286 BOARD O F TRUSTEES [June 19 ADDITION TO CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF M E N ' S RESIDENCE HALLS (17) The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend an increase of $3,572 in the contract with FelmleyDickerson Co., Urbana, for the general work on the construction of the Men's Residence Halls in the Parade Grounds area. This addition provides for the construction of sidewalks in the enclosed courtyards of the three dormitory buildings. The sidewalks were not included in the original contract because specifications could not be written until the landscaping plans for the area were developed. Funds are available in the proceeds of the issue of Men's Residence Halls Revenue Bonds of 1957. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Holt, this change in the contract was authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Stratton. HOSPITAL A N D MEDICAL INSURANCE FOR 1 9 5 8 - 5 9 (18) The University has a contract with the Bankers Life and Casualty Company of Chicago for the hospital-medical-surgical insurance for students and staff for J 957-58 with the right of renewal annually upon mutual agreement with the Company. Relationships with the Company have been excellent. Claims have been paid promptly and without exception. The Company has incurred losses, due in part to an abnormal number of claims resulting from the incidence of Asian influenza last fall. Bankers Life and Casualty Company proposes adjustments in premiums and benefits for 1958-59 as follows: Premiums Bankers Life and Second Amount Charged Casualty Company Low Bid Students and Staff by the University 1957-58 1958-59 1957-58 Students (per semester) J 6 40 J 6 80 J 6 90 $ 7 00 Staff (per year) Employee (single) 26 25 29 25 35 00 30 25 Couple 52 50 56 25 70 00 57 25 Family 63 00 65 25 90 00 66 25 In addition, the benefits for the Urbana Campus student plan would be modified to the extent that the maternity benefit would be reduced to a flat allowance of $85 from the present benefit paying approximately $225. This benefit will then be equivalent to that of the Urbana staff plan. The Navy Pier student program would continue on the premium schedule currently in effect and would have the hospital miscellaneous expense provision increased from J i o o to $200. The Finance Committee has considered and recommends this acceptance of the Bankers Life and Casualty Company's proposal. On motion of Mr. Johnston, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Stratton. CONTRACT W I T H OZARK AIR LINES FOR THE USE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AIRPORT (19) On July 16, 1957, the Board of Trustees approved continuation of a contract with Ozark Air Lines for the use of facilities at the University of Illinois Airport on a month-to-month basis until June 30, 1958. A new contract can not be negotiated until assignments of space in the new Administration Building are determined. In the meantime, the Director of the Institute of Aviation and the VicePresident and Comptroller recommend that the present contract be continued on the month-to-month basis until the new building is occupied. Ozark Air Lines will continue paying the following charges now in effect: 1. Landing fees $360 per month or two per cent of the "on line" revenue, whichever is greater, for up to fifteen flights daily.
