956 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 17 DISCONTINUANCE O F CLAYTON EXPERIMENT FIELD (30) In 1910 the Village of Clayton, in Adams County, conveyed twenty acres of land to the University of Illinois as an Agricultural Experiment Field, with the provision that if the University ceased to use it for such purpose for two years, the land would be transferred to the Village of Clayton for use as a public park. The type of research now being done by the Department of Agronomy requires larger tracts of land, and consequently, some of the small experimental plots are being phased out. No research has been conducted at the Clayton Field since 1967. State law now limits reverter clauses to a period of forty years, so the provision in the deed transferring title back to the Village of Clayton is no longer valid. Consequently, the Village of Clayton has sought legislation (H.B. 3605) authorizing the Board of Trustees to convey to the Village of Clayton the following property: Twenty (20) acres off the West end of the North half of the Southwest Quarter of section number thirty-five (35) in Township number one North, range five (5) West of the Fourth Principal Meridian, situated in the County of Adams, in the State of Illinois. The University has not opposed this bill, since it will carry out the commitment made by the University in 1910 in accepting the donation of the property. I recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to convey by quit claim deed all right, title, and interest in this property to the Village of Clayton, subject to approval of the legislation proposed. On motion of Dr. Walker, this recommendation was approved. MODIFICATION OF C H A N G E O R D E R - L E A S E / A C Q U I S I T I O N S (31) On October 15, 1969, and April 15, 1970, the Board authorized the acceptance of proposals of the IBM Corporation for change orders<in the University's lease agreements which would permit the University to purchase two Model 360/50 CPU systems located at the Urbana-Champaign and Chicago Circle campuses with payments to be made, subject to availability of funds, in accordance with scheduled payments over a five-year period. In a re-evaluation of the purchase agreements with the IBM Corporation, it has been determined that the University can effect additional savings of approximately $57,000 by immediate purchase of the two systems rather than continuing the five-year payment schedules. The President of the University recommends, with the concurrence of the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President and Comptroller, that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees be authorized to modify the purchase agreements with the IBM Corporation, and to execute such contracts and change orders or other appropriate documents as may be necessary, to vest title in the University on or before June 30, 1970, for the two Model 360/50 CPU systems located at the Urbana-Champaign and Chicago Circle campuses in amounts not to exceed $399,010.96 and $300,125.02, respectively. The President further recommends appropriations from the General Reserve of $399,010.96 for Urbana-Champaign and $300,125.02 for Chicago Circle. On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain, Dr. Walker; no, none; absent, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Jones, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Page, Mr. Stone. CONTRACT FOR V E N D I N G SERVICES, CHICAGO CIRCLE (32) The Vice President and Comptroller recommends the award of a contract to Tri-R Vending Service Company, Chicago, Illinois, for vending rights to sell food, beverages, tobacco products and allied items at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, for a period of five years beginning July 1, 1970, at an estimated annual commission to the University of $101,992, subject to renewal annually at the option of the University until 1980. I concur. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this contract was awarded by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Steger, Mr.
