buildings with the exception of the Central National Bank Building which is relatively new and modern. Funds are available in the state capital appropriations to the University for the Universities Building Fund for this purchase. If this additional land is acquired, it is proposed that the Central National Bank Building be retained and remodeled to provide temporary student union facilities — such as lounge areas, food service, and bookstore — pending completion of a new student union, and subsequently for general storage and temporary staff office facilities for a period not to exceed ten years. T h e Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of an amendment of the University's contract with the city of Chicago for the acquisition of land for the Congress Circle Campus to provide for the purchase of the additional block indicated at a price of $700,000. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds has previously been consulted and supports this recommendation. The sale price has been approved by the Federal Urban Renewal Administration. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Jones, Mr. Kerner.

PURCHASE OF PROPERTY AT 1 1 0 9 WEST SPRINGFIELD AVENUE. URBANA (10) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend purchase of the property at 1109 West Springfield Avenue, Urbana, at a price of $29,210, the owner to retain possession to July 1, 1964, and to have the right to remove the furnace on or before delivery of title to the University. The property is a lot 56Yz feet by 132 feet and is improved with a two-story frame dwelling. The land area is needed as part of the site for the expansion of the Coordinated Science Laboratory. The price is within the range of appraisals previously approved by the Committee on Buildings and Grounds for a negotiated purchase. Funds are available from indirect costs received as reimbursement on Coordinated Science Laboratory contracts and from general indirect costs reimbursements. An assignment of funds from these sources is also recommended. I concur in these recommendations. O n m o t i o n of M r .

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OF RESIDENT AT RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL HOSPITALS (11) On December 27, 1963, the Medical Director of the Research and Educational Hospitals terminated the employment of Dr. Arthur I. Broder as a full-time resident at the Research and Educational Hospitals on the basis of his admitted violation of regulations prohibiting private practice and his subsequent falsification to the head of his department concerning his participation therein. The Medical Director's action was taken after notice and hearing given to the individual, who thereafter delivered written notification to the Vice-President for the Medical Center that an appeal was desired and requested a hearing before the Board of Trustees. T h e individual has been advised that his request would be treated as a petition addressed to the discretion of the Board to grant a review of his case and I now present the same for that purpose. The Medical Director's action in terminating the employment was taken upon the recommendation of each of the Head of the Department of Otolaryngology (to which the resident had been assigned), the Administrative Council of that Department, the Hospital Council, and the Executive Committee of the Research and Educational Hospitals. T h e Vice-President for the Medical Center has reviewed the matter and does not recommend modification of the action taken by the Medical Director.
