RECOMMENDATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE ON COPYRIGHTS A N D RECORDINGS (30) At its meeting on June 20, 1967, the Board of Trustees approved recommendations of the University Committee on Copyrights and Recordings that a contract be negotiated with Holt, Rinehart and Winston for the publication of a book based on instructional materials developed by the Curriculum Laboratory's English P r o j ect (in the College of Education at the Urbana-Champaign campus). The recommendations approved were the following: 1. That a contract be negotiated with Holt, Rinehart and Winston for the publication of such a volume, with the copyright to be held in the name of the publisher. 2. That Holt, Rinehart and Winston provide funds to the University in the estimated amount of $19,640, which would be used for the payment of salaries to individuals who would complete the work on the manuscript. This advance would be deducted from royalty earnings under the contract before any royalty payments would be made in accordance with the provisions of item (3). 3. That royalty payments of 10 per cent on sales would be made as follows, after the advance payment referred to in item (2) had been recovered by the company: 8 per cent to the University and 2 per cent (1 per cent each) to the two staff members who have worked on the project and who would complete the preparation of the manuscript for publication. In the light of substantial new work done on the project by the authors (Mrs. Charlene Tibbetts and Dr. Edward R. Levy, not on University time), the Committee recommends a change in the royalty agreement for the series of books entitled Rhetoric in Thought and Writing as follows : T h e current agreement: Royalty payments, after advance royalties are covered, divided 8 per cent to the University and 2 per cent (1 per cent each) to the authors. Proposed agreement: Royalty payments divided equally with 5 per cent to the University and 2i/2 per cent to each of the authors. The Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President and Comptroller endorse this recommendation. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved.
