Special Fee for New Course, \nstitvte of Aviation, Urbana

(19) On September 16, 1982, the Board of Trustees acted to adjust fees for six flight courses, effective fall semester 1982. These fees range from $1,260 to $1,607. During the fall semester of 1983, a new course, Aviation 121, will be offered by the Institute of Aviation. The course is designed for students who already possess a private pilot certificate and who desire further commercial-instrument training. A fee of $887 is proposed to meet costs associated with the more limited flying time and simulator usage required in this course. The course has been approved by the Urbana-Champaign campus and has been reviewed and approved by the University Planning Council. The chancellor at Urbana-Champaign has recommended approval. I concur.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved.

Agreement with Piedmont Aviation, Inc.

(20) Negotiations have been completed for the use of University of IllinoisWillard Airport facilities with Piedmont Aviation, Inc., of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for the operation of a scheduled air service for the period April 24, 1983, through June 30, 1984. T h e agreement provides that Piedmont will have exclusive use of 856 square feet of space in the Willard Airport Administration Building and shared use of the common area until new space is constructed. (Recommendations for the award of construction contracts for the new space will be presented to the board in due course.) Piedmont is to pay the University $854.78 per month during the period for rent and for operation and maintenance services. This rate will be adjusted upward when new space is constructed and available for Piedmont's use. The adjusted rate will include operation and maintenance costs as well as an amount which is equivalent, on an annual basis, to amortizing the construction costs over ten years. In addition, the agreement would grant Piedmont landing privileges and the use of aircraft parking aprons for loading and discharging passengers in exchange for a fee equivalent to that charged for all scheduled passenger service landings at Willard Airport. The chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the acting vice president for business and finance have recommended: (1) that an agreement as described be executed; (2) that an amendment for the rental of the new space be authorized; and (3) that future renewals of the amended agreement be subject to such adjustments in rates as may be approved by the president and the comptroller. I concur in the recommendations. O n m o t i o n of D r . D o n o g h u e , these r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s w e r e a p p r o v e d .

Oil and Gas Lease for Hunter Farm No. 5

(21) The University has been the recipient of a number of farms under the terms of the wills of Mr. Ralph O. Hunter and his wife, Mrs. Mabel Hunter. The income from these farms is used to provide scholarships for students in the College of Agriculture. Pawnee Oil Corporation, Springfield, Illinois, has offered a two-year oil and gas lease covering 280 acres of the Hunter land, known as Hunter Farm No. 5, located in Macoupin County near Virdcn, Illinois. The lease provides for the payment of $1,400 per year, a $750 location fee payable prior to each drilling, and the standard one-eighth royalty for oil and gas produced. T h e lease also requires the company to return the land to near-present condition when it vacates the land.
