RECOMMENDATION FROM COMMITTEE O N COPYRIGHTS AND RECORDINGS (25) The Committee on Copyrights and Recordings has reviewed a case involving the proposed publication of a manuscript entitled "Translating the Educational Program of a University into Physical Facility Requirements," prepared by Director Harlan D. Bareither and Associate Director Jerry L. Schillinger of the Central Office on the Use of Space. The Committe on Copyrights and Recordings recommends that this material be released to Messrs. Bareither and Schillinger for copyright and publication, with the following division of royalties: one-third to Mr. Bareither, one-third to Mr. Schillinger, and one-third to the University. Although not commissioned by the University to prepare this manuscript, and although much of the actual writing will have been done on the authors' own time, the proposed publication would include material derived from the activities of the Central Office on the Use of Space. Hence, it was the Committee's judgment that the University should share in any royalties that might accrue from sales of the published volume. The Executive Vice-President and Provost and the Vice-President and Comptroller endorse this recommendation of the Committee on Copyrights and Recordings. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Clement, this recommendation was approved.
