C O N T R A C T F O R LEASE O F EDUCATIONAL FILMS (9) T h e Dean of the Division of University Extension recommends that the University enter into a contract with United World Films of America, New York City, for the leasing and acquisition of a series of films on "The Earth and Its Peoples." The films have been produced for the teaching of geography in grade and high schools. T h e collection consists of 121 prints of 35 titles. The lease provides for the payment of $35 per print upon receipt of the films, $35 per print 12 months after delivery, and $35 per print 24 months after delivery, a total payment of $105 per print. Upon conclusion of the lease, the films will become the property of the University. The lease may be terminated at the end of a year upon 30 days' notice. T h e films will be used by the Audio-Visual Aids Service for rental to schools at a rate of $3 for the first day and $.50 for each additional day. During the period of the lease United World Films will pay the University $5.50 per booking which United World Films arranges with schools to introduce the films. United will not charge schools for this. The University will service all bookings in Illinois except in the City of Chicago. "Junior Scholastic," a monthly school magazine, will have an article on these films in each issue during the school year 1949-1950. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this contract. O n m o t i o n of M r . M c L a u g h l i n , a u t h o r i t y w a s g i v e n a s r e c o m mended.
