the air at the Library, and during the first phase of the University's operations at Congress Circle will be distributed to one of the classroom buildings, to the Lecture Center, and to the Union Building. Comparative cost studies on rental versus construction by the University of the distribution facilities indicate that for several years it will be more economical to rent the facilities. Rental will provide flexibility for future program changes and changes in technology, an arrangement which may be contracted for a oneyear, renewable basis. T h e total annual rental charge for three distribution channels between these buildings is $6,252. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of the necessary agreements at the appropriate time with the Illinois Bell Telephone Company for closed circuit television facilities. Funds for the rental payments will be provided in future operating budgets. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .
