alternate number 1) for restoration work at Memorial Stadium, Urbana-Champaign campus. Bids were received on April 6, 1979. (A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary for record.) The base bid provides for concrete restoration, leveling, and sealing the remaining exposed concrete surfaces of the stands between the ramp towers. Alternate 1 provides for similar work to the horseshoe area plus modifications for paraplegic seating. T h e project has been approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education as a noninstructional facility. Funds are available from the proceeds of the sale of University of Illinois Auxiliary Facilities System Revenue Bonds, Series N. Earlier, on January 17, 1979, bids were also received for restoration work at Memorial Stadium. T h e bids, which included work for concrete restoration, sealing, electrical and mechanical upgrading, tuckpointing, painting of structural steel and masonry work, exceeded the funds available. The Athletic Association and the Office for Capital Programs, with the concurrence of campus administrative officers, recommended that the bids be rejected and that the documents be revised to include only the work considered to be the most critical. Pursuant to the provisions of Article I I , Section 4(k) ( 2 ) , of the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, the bids were rejected and the president now reports their rejection. In 1978 the Board of Trustees authorized the appropriation of Athletic Association funds for concrete restoration and sealing of the east and west balconies, and this work was completed in the summer of that year.

Easement to Illinois Bell Telephone Company

(21) The president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends adoption of the following resolution granting to the Illinois Bell Telephone Company a permanent easement along the west and south sides of the University property at 717-719 South Wright Street, Champaign, for construction of underground telephone lines. The granting of this easement will benefit the University by removing the existing telephone service from the area on which the addition to the Illini Union Bookstore is to be constructed and providing new service to the building addition. On June 21, 1978, the board granted a similar easement on the University property immediately to the north. The easement proposed will not interfere with the present use of this property or with any planned projects. T h e University will reserve the right to request the removal and relocation of such services at the expense of the company.
