Contract for Advertising Services, Chicago (30) For the past six years, the Board of Trustees has approved a contract with a public relations or advertising firm to assist in a program of nurse recruitment for the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics. T h e program has enabled the hospital to recruit a full complement of nurses in a competitive market. For next year, a newly designed campaign will require more emphasis on the creative skills of the contractor. Of the several firms making presentations, Nationwide Advertising was judged best able to meet the need for a creative program, properly advertised. The contract for Fiscal Year 1984 is not to exceed $180,000, the same as FY 1983 and $45,000 less than FY 1982. As before, most of the cost of the contract will consist of reimbursements for advertisements placed. Reimbursement will be exclusive of any commission paid or payable to the agency by the advertising media. When a commission is not paid to the agency, a standard agency charge for placing advertisements will be added to the reimbursement.
