CONTRACTS FOR SCHOOL OF MUSIC RECORDINGS, URBANA (24) The School of Music has been seeking an effective method of distributing recordings of performances of new music by contemporary composers as well as music of historical significance. Distribution through University channels has proved to be of limited effectiveness. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. has offered to enter into contracts with the University to produce two recordings featuring seven works by University of Illinois composers. It is proposed that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pay to the University $750 per recording as a nonrefundable advance (against University royalties of two per cent of the retail list price of 90 per cent of all records sold containing the Illinois compositions). The President of the University, with the concurrence of the Chancellor at Urbana, the Executive Vice President and Provost, and the Vice President and Comptroller, recommends that authority be granted to enter into the proposed agreements with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.

On motion of Mr. Clement, authority was granted as recommended.
