CONTRACTS FOR SCHOOL OF MUSIC RECORDINGS, URBANA (24) For some years the School of Music has been seeking an effective method of distributing recordings of the performances of new music by contemporary composers and music of great historical significance. Distribution through University channels has been of limited effectiveness. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has offered to enter into contracts with the University for the release of records containing seven compositions by five University of Illinois composers. The performances of these compositions are recorded on tapes prepared under University auspices. T h e contracts would provide that MGM will receive exclusive title to the tapes unless the records are omitted from the publisher's catalog for a period of at least two years, after which time title would revert to the University. MGM will pay to the University royalties of two per cent of record sales and will advance $3,200 to the University to cover production costs of the tapes. The advance would be repaid from the first royalties. The Director of the School of Music, the Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts, the Executive Vice-President and Provost, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that authority be granted to enter into these contracts with MGM. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . D i l l i a r d , a u t h o r i t y w a s g i v e n a s r e c o m m e n d e d . AGREEMENT FOR FURNISHING SERVICES AND COMMODITIES TO THE HERMAN M.
