Deletion of Three Engineering Areas of Concentration, Chicago Circle The Chicago Circle Senate has approved the deletion of the following areas of concentration: environmental engineering, systems analysis and design, and urban and transportation systems engineering. The areas are being deleted because of low enrollment. During the past three years, the average enrollment in these areas was less than seven. The few students who are currently in these areas will be allowed to finish their programs. None of the courses offered in the three areas is being dropped. Educational Studies Subspecialization for the Master of Education Degree, Chicago Circle The Chicago Circle Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Education for the establishment of a new subspecialization in educational studies under the instructional leadership specialization leading to the degree of Master of Education. The other subspecializations are early childhood, programs for schools and institutions, and reading. The proposed subspecialization is designed to meet the needs of students who want a flexible, individually designed program. The program does not lead to certification.

Renaming of Buildings, College of Veterinary Medicine, Urbana (8) The dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended the renaming of several buildings at the college's south campus location in order to overcome the confusion created by the buildings' current names. He has also asked that a name be approved for one building now under construction. The two components of one interconnected building now designated the Veterinary Medicine Animal Clinic and Hospital and the Veterinary Medicine Hospital would be renamed the Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital. The building now designated Large Animal Clinic and Hospital would be renamed Veterinary Medicine Surgery and Obstetrics Laboratory. The building currently under construction, which will house the college's basic sciences programs, would be named the Veterinary Medicine Basic Sciences Building. The chancellor concurs in the proposed building names. I recommend approval. 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 . A m e n d m e n t to Agreement for Use of Space w i t h Ozark Air Lines, W i l l a r d Airport Administration Building (9) Under a July 1, 1978, agreement Ozark Air Lines is committed to pay the University $41,676 annual rent for space in the Willard Airport Administration Building through February 28, 1994. These payments, together with rental payments from other tenants in the building, and other funds available in the airport commercial account, provide for the debt service on the Willard Airport Operations Revenue Bonds of 1978. (Such payments, while adequate to meet the debt service requirements, are not adequate to meet the University's commitment under the Williard Airport Revenue Bond of 1978 that a repair and replacement reserve of $125,000 be built-up over the life of the bond issue.) Ozark is willing to amend the 1978 agreement to provide that, effective January 1, 1981, and continuing through February 1, 1993, in addition to the $41,676 annual space rental payments provided for in the original agreement, Ozark would pay a monthly rate of $376. This rate, with accumulated interest
