1957] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 447 357009 in the Recorder's Office of Du Page County, Illinois, described by commencing at the Northeast corner of Section 1, Township 38 North, Range 10 East of the Third Principal Meridian and running thence South 0° 12' East along the East line of Section I 1270.05 feet to a corner of said Lot 2 ; thence South 84 0 13' West along a South line of said Lot 346.5 feet; thence South 6° 10' East along an Easterly line of said Lot 2 335.64 feet to a point for a place of beginning; thence Southwesterly along the arc of a curve to the left whose radius is 1091.74 feet and whose tangent to the last described point forms an angle of 77° 56' 32" in the Southwest quadrant with the preceding line extended, for a distance of 35.90 feet to a point; thence South 6° 10' East parallel with an Easterly line of said Lot 2 and with a prolongation thereof 1370.04 feet more or less to a point in the center line of Ogden Avenue; thence North 77° 40' East along said center line 35.20 feet to the Southeast corner of said Lot 2 ; thence North 6° 10' West 1373.26 feet more or less along an Easterly line of said Lot 2 to the place of beginning, all in the County of Du Page and State of Illinois; together with all and singular the hereditaments and appurtenances thereunto belonging or in anywise appertaining. Provided, however, that such deed shall not be executed nor delivered unless and until said officers and the Legal Counsel of this public corporation have received positive assurances satisfactory to them that an alternate right and way of ingress to and egress from the remaining portion of this public corporation's property in that area will be provided. On motion of Mr. Johnston, the foregoing resolution was adopted; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of the quitclaim deed is subject to the approval of the Executive Committee of the Board when the Committee is satisfied that the price to be received by the University for the land to be conveyed is a fair valuation, and that adequate provisions have been made for both a permanent roadway and temporary access during the period of construction of the highway to the Drug and Horticultural Experiment Field. This action was taken by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mr. Herrick, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins; no, none; absent, Mr. Stratton, Mr. Williamson. PURCHASE OF BUS FOR PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED STUDENTS (29) T h e Director of Purchases and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend the purchase of one General Motors Corporation T G H 3102 bus equipped for transportation- of physically handicapped students for the Student Rehabilitation Center from the General Motors Corporation Coach Sales Department, Pontiac, Michigan, at a cost of $9,579.83, f.o.b., Pontiac, Michigan. It is also recommended that this authorization be extended to include the purchase of a second bus under the same terms if funds become available. The General Motors Corporation bus is almost alone in this field, the only competition being manufacturers who only occasionally construct busses of this type and who do not maintain a readily available supply of replacement parts. Furthermore, investigation has revealed that no bus now on the market can equal the General Motors Corporation T G H 3102. The University of Illinois Foundation has received a gift from the Lynde Bradley Foundation specifically for the purchase of a new bus specially equipped for transportation of physically handicapped students. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this purchase was authorized, and authority was granted to purchase a second bus under the same terms when funds are available. AUTHORIZATION OF CHANGES IN CONTRACTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS (30) State appropriations are available until the expiration of the first fiscal quarter after the adjournment of the General Assembly held next after that at
