BOARD OF TRUSTEES CHANGE O R D E R - L E A S E - C O M P U T E R DEPARTMENT O F COMPUTER S C I E N C E , URBANA

[June 17

(42) The usage of computers for education and research centrally located in the Department of Computer Science has grown rapidly over the past several years, The current configuration of leased IBM computer equipment devoted to central computer services for education and research throughout the University is falling seriously behind in view of the rapidly growing use of the computer in these activities. This has resulted in deficiencies and a deterioration of services, especially during three heavy periods of use which occur in July-August, OctoberNovember, and April-May. These operational deficiencies have been called to the attention of the IBM Corporation, who has examined the operations and made a proposal which involves alternate equipment configuration and a change in the program system presently used. These changes should double the present capacity of the 360/75 model computing system. The equipment changes recommended involve an increased rental of $13,665.50 per month. (Current rental of this system totals $72,271.50 per month.) The President of the University recommends, with the concurrence of the Executive Vice President and Provost, the Vice President and Comptroller, and the Dean of the Graduate College, 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 secure the rental of the equipment needed to meet the demands of educational and research computer services as outlined above. Funds are available in the regular operating budget generated from charges to those departments using the computer. O n motion of Mr. Swain, authority was given as recommended by the following vote: Aye, M r . Clement, M r . H a h n , Mr. H u g h e s , Mr. Steger, M r . Swain, D r . W a l k e r ; no, n o n e ; absent, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Jones, Governor Ogilvie, M r . Page, M r . Stone.
