BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 19

The Department of Architecture considers the program successful and desires to continue with it. It is proposed that the University lease living quarters, office space, and a studio in La Napoule for the period October 1, 1968, through May 31, 1969, with an option to renew for the next academic year at an annual rental of $7,040. The total payments, including services, are estimated to be approximately $13,000 for the year. Participating students have agreed to provide such financial support as will provide funds for these arrangements. T h e Department of Architecture will inform the qualified students who apply that if their financial condition is such as to make it impossible for them to meet the added cost, the Department will support their applications for student aid. 1 Costs of instruction will not exceed those at the Urbana-Champaign campus insofar as the expenditure of state funds is concerned. Transportation of staff and operational costs of the studio will be handled by other than state funds. Students will incur approximately the same living costs as they presently do at the Urbana-Champaign campus, plus travel and personal expenses. The President of the University, with the concurrence of the Executive Vice-President and Provost and the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, recommends that the Secretary and Comptroller be authorized to execute the lease described and subsequent renewals as deemed advisable.

That advice has now been received and a report is submitted. There being no objection to the final adoption of the Code, I recommend approval of the Provisional Code of Conduct in the form submitted.

TRANSFER OF JURISDICTION OF LAND TO THE ILLINOIS BUILDING AUTHORITY FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE INTRAMURAL-PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDING, URBANA (46) The Intramural-Physical Education Building at Urbana is one of the projects in the 1967-69 capital program which the Board of Trustees requested the Illinois Building Authority to provide. The Illinois Building Authority plans to sell bonds the latter part of this month and in order that this project can be included in the projects to be financed by the sale of these bonds, the Authority has requested the Board of Trustees to authorize the transfer of jurisdiction of land on which the building will be constructed. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Comptroller and Secretary of the Board be authorized to make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver such instruments as are necessary to complete this transfer. Adoption of the resolution submitted herewith is required to implement the above. Resolution WHEREAS, the Seventy-fifth General Assembly of the State of Illinois has declared it to be in the public interest that the Illinois Building Authority construct, on behalf of The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, an IntramuralPhysical Education Building at the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois; and WHEREAS, for that purpose it will be necessary for the Illinois Building
