578 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 17 Illinois students have paid regular tuition to the University of Illinois and received academic credit for the work done in Austria. In return for the privileges noted, the Illinois director of the program in Baden has served as liaison officer between Austrian school officials and Illinois teachers employed each year to teach English in the secondary school of Lower Austria. O n balance, the exchange program has favored the University, the Austrian support for Americans far exceeding that given Austrians by the University of Illinois. T h e Austrian officials have indicated a desire to continue the program, but they seek a more equitable arrangement as well. Therefore, an agreement has been prepared, providing that a maximum of twenty-five Austrian students may study at the Urbana campus, the Austrians accepting approximately twenty-five University students at Baden each academic year. The agreement continues the provision of tuition and fee waivers for Illinois students in Baden and also provides for waiver of tuition and fees for the Austrian students at Urbana. 1 Inasmuch as Austrian instructional costs equal or exceed those at the University (and with the likelihood of a continued imbalance in numbers in favor of the University of Illinois), the continuation of the program under the new agreement would be advantageous to the University. T h e Chancellor at Urbana has recommended approval of the tuition and fee waivers provided for in the agreement and authorization to the Comptroller and the Secretary to execute the agreement as described. O n m o t i o n of M r . S u m m e r s , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a n d a u t h o r i t y w a s g i v e n as r e c o m m e n d e d . approved, Increase in Special Fees for Flight Training Courses, Institute of Aviation, Urbana (23) Students enrolled in flight training courses in the Institute of Aviation currently are charged special fees for each semester course as outlined below. The fees currently in effect were approved by the Board of Trustees on January 15, 1975. I n the past a certain portion of aircraft maintenance costs assignable to these flight training programs has been provided from State appropriated funds. Due to the inflationary pressures on all campus resources, it is necessary for these costs to be recovered by increasing the flight fees. T h e flight fee for each course is determined from the hourly rates for use of aircraft, ground trainers, and flight aid materials. T h e changes in flight fees are based on the following proposed hourly charges by type of equipment. Equipment Hourly Charge B-19 $21 Ground trainer 10 172 21 7EC 15 Comanche 39 Stearman 39 Aztec 76 From time to time changes mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration affect the requirements for courses of flight instruction. It may become necessary to restructure the hours required in certain courses and the equipment used. Authorization is requested by the President to respond to the changes established 1 Under the new agreement, the Illinois director of the Baden program will no longer perform the liauon function referred to above.
