BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October 21

The Computer Policy Committee of the Graduate College and the ad hoc Computer Review Committee appointed by the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs have concurred in this proposal. A search and consultative committee has been appointed jointly by the Dean of the Graduate College and the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs to begin the task of finding a suitable director. Professor James N. Snyder, Head of the Department of Computer Science, will administer the service facility on a temporary basis. This is an administrative rearrangement involving no new educational or research programs. The Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the Educational Policy Committee of the Urbana-Champaign Senate have been consulted. The Dean of the Graduate College, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. No Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. O n motion of Mr. Jones, this recommendation was approved.

CHANGE OF NAME, CENTRAL RECEIVING W A R E H O U S E . URBANA

(11) The Chancellor at the Urbana campus has recommended that the building now known as "Central Receiving Warehouse" be renamed the "Visual Aids Service Building." The Central Receiving Office has vacated the building, and it has been reassigned to the Visual Aids Service, Division of University Extension. The Visual Aids Service will occupy the building as soon as the necessary remodeling work has been completed. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds has been consulted and concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval. O n motion of M r . Grimes, this recommendation was approved.

CHANGE OF NAME, SANITARY ENGINEERING LABORATORY, URBANA

(12) The Chancellor at the Urbana campus has recommended that the building now known as "Sanitary Engineering Laboratory" be renamed the "Environmental Research Laboratory." As the Sanitary Engineering Laboratory, this building provided the laboratory facilities for the Sanitary Engineering staff members in the Department of Civil Engineering. However, the Sanitary Engineering Laboratory facilities were removed from the Sanitary Engineering Laboratory to the fourth floor of the new Civil Engineering Building. Thus, this building no longer serves a purpose consistent with its name. The building currently is used as the analytical facility for an interdisciplinary research program on Environmental Pollution by Lead, an activity of the Graduate College. It is planned that the building will serve to house many other environmental research programs as they are developed on this campus. Consequently, the name "Environmental Research Laboratory" is much more appropriate than the present, will not be confused with the Sanitary Engineering facilities in the new laboratory, and will indicate to the public the activities which are currently housed in this building. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds has been consulted and concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval. O n motion of M r . Swain, this recommendation was approved.

REQUEST TO ILLINOIS BUILDING AUTHORITY TO INCREASE CONTRACT FOR C O N S T R U C T I O N OF EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATIONS B U I L D I N G , CHICAGO CIRCLE

(13) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Illinois Building Authority be requested to increase the contract with E, H. Marhoefer, Jr., Co., Franklin Park, in the amount of $15,400 for substituting a ten-inch diameter chilled water supply pipe for the eight-inch pipe to be installed under the contract. Funds are available in the project budget for this work.
