448 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [October 19 Phase II of Restoration Work, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Urbana (19) On June 6, 1974, the Board of Directors of the University of Illinois Foundation authorized the borrowing of approximately $2,000,000 to provide funds for corrective work at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. The Foundation has substantially completed Phase I of the restoration work which allocated approximately 1.6 million dollars to eliminate the most significant causes of leaks and deterioration of exterior and interior materials, as well as that work which would be compatible with other restoration measures to be undertaken at a later time. The work for Phase II, involving the restoration of the roof, some redecorating, plastering, painting, and entrance stairways, was deferred until funds became available. The estimated cost of this work is $550,000, of which the roof is a major portion. The litigation relating to the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts has now been settled, and the proceeds thereof are now available for the Foundation to accomplish the deferred work. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University of Illinois Foundation be authorized to proceed with the necessary work as described above, up to in an amount of $550,000 from the proceeds of the settlement of the litigation against the original contractor and architect for the project. The student advisory vote was: Aye, Miss Conlon, Mr. Overstreet, Miss Winter j no, none. On motion of Mrs. Rader, authority was given as recommended by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson, Mr. Velasquez. Contract for Professional Advertising Services, Medical Center (20) The University of Illinois Hospital now suffers a critical shortage of nurses and has more than 100 unfilled nursing positions. As a result, the hospital has been forced to curtail health delivery services, which has also had a detrimental effect on instructional programs. The professional services of an advertising agency are desired to assist in the development of an effective recruitment program for nurses; to create ideas for all types of recruiting materials (advertisements, brochures, exhibits) ; to suggest the most effective advertising media; to create and provide artwork, copy, layout design, tear sheets, etc., for advertising; and to place advertisements. The chancellor of the Medical Center campus has recommended approval of a contract with the firm of Bentley, Barnes, and Lynn, Inc., Chicago. The contract would be divided into two cost components: 1. Reimbursement for advertisements placed by the agency, and 2. A charge for artwork, layout, and other professional and artistic services in the development of the nursing recruitment program. The major component is reimbursement for advertisements placed. The reimbursement will be exclusive of any commissions paid or payable to the agency by the advertising media. When a commission is not paid to the agency, the standard agency charge for placing advertisements will be added to the reimbursement. The cost of professional and artistic services provided will vary between $8 and $20 per hour, depending on the type of service required. Total charges payable under this contract will not exceed $60,000 for the period September 1, 1977, through June 30, 1978. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Account.
