1. The IBM 360/50 at Urbana 2. The IBM 360/50 at Chicago Circle 3. The IBM 360/40 at the Medical Center The first phase of the long-range plan is to lease an IBM 370/155 computing system to be located at a central facility at Urbana. The step indicated above is the first phase of a plan which will ultimately require the disposal of the University-owned equipment (360/50 main frame units located at the Urbana-Champaign and Chicago Circle campuses) and the return to the IBM Corporation of currently leased equipment located at the Medical Center and certain peripheral equipment located on the three campuses. This will be accomplished on a scheduled basis as new equipment is available and existing equipment released on a schedule which will permit maintenance of vital and continuing administrative data programs during the transition period. The disposal plan for the University-owned equipment located at the UrbanaChampaign campus and at the Chicago Circle campus has not been fully developed at this point. However, all disposals for value will be made consistent with current University regulations and applicable state statutes. Funds are available in the operating budget of the Computer Center. It is contemplated that funds for the subsequent annual lease payments will be available in the operating budget of the Computer Center. The change order agreement will include a provision that all payments be subject to availability of funds and in accordance with existing statutory requirements pertaining to lease of automatic data processing equipment. This transaction is considered exempt from provisions of the Illinois Purchasing Act as special business equipment economically procurable from only one source. The President of the University, with the concurrence of the Vice President for Planning and Allocation and the Vice President for Financial Affairs, recommends that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees be authorized to modify the lease agreements with the IBM Corporation and to execute such contracts and change orders or other appropriate documents as may be necessary to lease the new IBM 370/155 computer system at a rate of $39,372,30 per month, or $472,467.60 annually, $314,978.40 to be expended during FY 1972-73.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved and authority was given as recommended by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Neal, Mr.'Pogue, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Ogilvie.
