tion (NSF) award under the Presidential Young Investigators Program. One feature of the award is that NSF will provide funds equal to those provided for Professor Tucker's use by industrial sponsors, to a maximum of $35,000 per year. Professor Tucker has been offered the following industrial support: International Harvester, Inc., $20,000; Dow Chemical Company, $25,000; and John Deere, Inc., $10,000. The companies have made their support conditional upon execution of research agreements covering specific projects to be pursued by Professor Tucker. The three projects involve aspects of computer modeling the flow patterns in the molding of plastic materials. The companies have requested that they be provided an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free license to inventions that may result from these projects. Their request does not provide for termination of the license if aggressive development of resultant inventions is not demonstrated. Omission of this provision requires an exception to Article II, Section 7 ( e ) ( 3 ) of the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure. The terms requested are consistent with normal licensing practice. The vice chancellor for research has recommended that the exception be approved. The University Patent Committee also recommends approval. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . H o w a r d , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved.
