Since this second addition is not in the 1961-63 building program, the architectural work during the balance of the 1959-60 biennium wilt be limited to certain minor studies necessary to permit work on the adjoining Medical Sciences addition to house the basic science departments of the College of Medicine with its hospital oriented departments. Residence Halls for Graduate Students (Third Phase, SG-3) Mielke and Smith, Chicago Richardson, Sevems, Scheeler, and Associates, Champaign, Associate Architects At a fee not to exceed 6 per cent of the construction contracts less payments made to date to Richardson, Sevems, Scheeler, and Associates for preliminary work. Residence Halls for Graduate Men (Fourth Phase, SM-4) — Mittelbusher and TourteloL Chicago For continuing architectural services beyond the design stage; this firm to be employed under a contract with Richardson, Severns, ScheeTer, and Associates at a total fee not to exceed 6 per cent of the cost of construction contracts less payments made to date for preliminary work. Physical Plant Department Service Building — A. Epstein & Sons, Chicago Complete services at a fee of 6 per cent of the construction contracts. In each case the standard professional fees are subject to adjustment downward for such factors as payments made for any preliminary work or for duplication of buildings as in the case of residence halls. The foregoing recommendations are presented with my concurrence and that of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds which has also considered them.

On motion of Mrs. Watkins, these recommendations were approved; Mr. Herrick voted "no."

APPROPRIATION FOR EXTENSION O F STEAM T U N N E L

(10) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend an assignment of $40,000 from General Indirect Costs funds to construct an extension of the Goodwin Avenue steam tunnel from the south side to the north side of Green Street.
