AGREEMENT WITH DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH FOR OPERATION OF ILLINOIS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY (24) T h e Medical Director of the Research and Educational Hospitals, the Vice-President for the Medical Center, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of an agreement with the Department of Mental Health providing for the operation of the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary jointly by the University and the State Department of Mental Health to replace an existing agreement entered into by the University with the former Department of Public Welfare (now the Department of Mental H e a l t h ) . Relocation of the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary in a new building which the Department is constructing on a site adjacent to the Research and Educational Hospitals and which will be completed in 1964 makes it desirable to amend the existing agreement in certain respects. T h e principal changes in the new agreement are: reference to the Infirmary being a "constituent unit" of the "Illinois Medical Center" is deleted; administrative and financial relationships between the two parties are clarified; and the joint management group is named the "Joint Executive Committee" with its composition reconstituted and its functions redefined. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r s . W a t k i n s , a u t h o r i t y w a s g i v e n a s r e q u e s t e d . AUTHORIZATION OF FALLOUT SHELTER LICENSES TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (25) T h e federal government has under way an accelerated program of civil defense, which includes plans for fallout shelters. The government has proposed that certain facilities throughout the country be designated and equipped, at no expense to their owners, as fallout shelters. A license must be issued to the federal government by the owner for use of any facility. State and local Civil Defense officials have requested the University to grant to the federal government such licenses for various buildings at Urbana-Champaign and at the Medical Center in Chicago. The firm of Brown, Manthei, Davis, and Mullins, Consulting Engineers, Champaign, has been employed by the federal government to conduct a fallout shelter survey and determine which buildings can be used for fallout shelters and subsequently licensed at the Urbana campus. The firms of Consoer Townsend and Associates, A. Epstein and Sons, Inc., and De Leuw, Cather, and Co., Chicago, have completed studies at the Medical Center campus. Such licenses may be revoked by the University on giving ninety days' written notice, sent by registered mail, to the political subdivision and the federal government. University officials will review the proposals for designations of shelters in order to minimize interference with educational programs. T o comply with the request of the federal government, it is recommended that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute a license or licenses with the United States government for fallout shelters. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . J o h n s t o n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d . LICENSING OF RECORDED PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION IN THEORETICAL AND APPLIED MECHANICS (26) T h e University has been requested by the United States Military Academy, West Point, to license the use of five two-hour lessons recorded on videotape from the course Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 223, Mechanical Behavior of Solids. It is proposed that a license be granted only for their use over closedcircuit television for the instruction of students at the Academy. A fee of $600 will be charged for the license, in addition to the actual cost of the re-recording to duplicate tapes. This fee is a nominal one based largely on information
