Redesignation, Dairy Manufactures Building, Urbana

(13) T h e dean of the College of Agriculture at Urbana has recommended that the Dairy Manufactures Building be renamed the "Agricultural Bioprocess Laboratory." T h e change is meant to describe more precisely t h e use of the facility. Current major research activities include a plant pigment biochemistry and photobiology project and an I N T S O Y soybean and cereal processing pilot plant. Remodeling, now in the planning stage, will provide facilities for additional projects in bioprocessing. T h e chancellor at Urbana concurs in the recommendation. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved. Student Fee to Support Illinois Student Association, Chicago

(14) O n May 21 and 22, 1986, students at Chicago voted nearly four-to-one to support the statewide organization that coordinates student government groups throughout the State by assessing a refundable annual fee of $1.00. 1 T h e funds collected under this proposal, minus administrative costs, will be sent to the Illinois Student Association after all refunds are made. T h e fee will be assessed in spring quarter 1987 and in the fall quarter in subsequent years. T h e Offices of Business Affairs and Admissions and Records will develop the necessary administrative procedures to process the collection and the refunding, when requested, of the fee. T h e chancellor at Chicago has recommended that the new student fee be approved. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved. Agreement with Comair, Inc., Willard Airport

(15) Negotiations have been completed with Comair, Inc., of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the use of Willard Airport facilities for the operation of a scheduled air carrier operation between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Champaign. The agreement provides for an initial term, December 15, 1986, through June 30, 1987. Comair will have the exclusive use of 156 square feet in the Airport Administration Building (Terminal) for ticket counter and office space; and will pay $1,690 annually for space rental, including heat, electricity, normal building maintenance, water and solid waste, and janitorial service; and will pay for other services which may be required at the rate charged other commercial tenants of the airport. T h e agreement also will grant Comair landing privileges and the use of aircraft parking aprons for loading and unloading passengers and freight at the rate charged other commercial carriers. (The landing fee is currently 46 cents per 1,000 pounds of landing weight per Comair aircraft landed at the airport.) T h e agreement also will provide for annual renewal upon the same terms or conditions or upon such other terms and conditions as the parties may mutually agree to. T h e chancellor at Urbana and the vice president for business and finance have recommended that an agreement as described be executed; and that future renewals of the agreement be subject to such adjustments in rate as may be approved by the president and the comptroller. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . H a h n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .
