The lease will be between the Foundation and Tom Whetzel, the owner. It will begin as soon as possession can be obtained and continue until June 30, 1964, at $450 a month. T h e sublease from the University of Illinois Foundation will be on the same basis except the initial sublease will run until June 30, 1959, and will be automatically renewed for two-year periods until the termination of the Foundation's lease. T o secure this lease, it will be necessary for the University to purchase from the present tenant a heater, water-cooled air conditioner, sink, chemical bench and exhaust hood at a cost of $1,500, and to make certain alterations in utilities connections, estimated to cost $1,000, to separate the leased area from the remaining space occupied by the present tenant. T h e University will provide janitor service, heat, and utilities for its space. Funds will be assigned from indirect costs recovered from government contracts for the purchase of the equipment, alterations, and the rent. I concur.
