Renaming of the Visual Aids Service Building, Urbana (5) T h e vice president for academic affairs has recommended that the Visual Aids Service Building be renamed the University Film Center Building. The building was assigned to the Visual Aids Service of the Division of University Extension in 1970. The unit is now under the Office of the Associate Vice President for Public Service. Although the program of the unit continues to involve services in several different media, it has become one of the nation's most comprehensive film libraries. The proposed new name will indicate to the public the activities housed in the building more accurately than the present name. I recomend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r .

Grant for a Regional Instrumentation Facility, Urbana (6) The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a grant for support of a project at the Urbana campus entitled "Regional Instrumentation Facility for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy." The project will be performed under the auspices of the School of Chemical Sciences and has been initially funded at the level of $902,000 for the period October 1, 1979, through March 3 1 , 1981. Subject to the availability of funds and the progress of the project, NSF intends to support the project for three additional years at approximately the following levels: $194,000; $128,000; and $139,000. The funds will be used to acquire and operate sophisticated scientific instrumentation (nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers) to be used in research on various problems of molecular structure. The University's scientific staff will benefit by having access to this instrumentation. A condition of the grant provides that the facility be made available to other users in the midwest region; the high cost of this instrumentation precludes its acquisition by a single group.
