LEASE W I T H HENDRICK DORMS. INC.. CHAMPAIGN (23) Senate Bill 393 approved by the Seventy-fifth General Assembly increases the opportunities for police training by broadening the classification of officers who may participate and extends financial help to include advanced basic specialized courses. T h e major portion of the responsibility for this expanded program will be assumed by the Police Training Institute in the Division of University Extension, Urbana. During the current year, twelve courses will be offered, varying in length from one week to four weeks. Although it is necessary to contract for housing for the participants in these courses, no University housing is available. Private operators have been contacted, but only Hendrick Dorms, Inc., can accommodate the participants in the program. It is proposed that the University execute an appropriate lease agreement with Hendrick Dorms, Inc. The latter would provide twenty-four rooms (to accommodate a maximum of forty-eight participants) and bus service at a total cost of $34,800. In addition, Hendrick Dorms, Inc., will provide meals at $18.75 per week for each resident. The fees charged for the courses include a charge for housing and food service which is adequate to meet the cost of this lease. The President of the University recommends that the appropriate administrative officers be authorized to execute a lease as described above. O n m o t i o n of M r .

URBANA (24) On August 31, 1967, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees approved the construction of an addition to the Krannert Art Museum and requested the University of Illinois Foundation to proceed with the temporary financing and awarding of contracts for the addition, subject to the approval of the State of Illinois Board of Higher Education. This approval has now been obtained. In order for the Foundation to proceed with the financing, it is necessary for the University to lease the site to the Foundation for a period of thirty years and for the Foundation to sublease the site and improvements to the University for biennial periods.
