1958] U N I V E R S I T Y OF I L L I N O I S I207 APPLICATION FOR HEALTH RESEARCH FACILITIES FUNDS FOR COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE (26) The College of Veterinary Medicine has submitted an application to the National Institute of Health for $140,000 to provide one-half of the funds for the construction of a building and equipment to be used as an isolation unit and a facility for research on zoonoses (infectious diseases common to man and animals). Funds will be available from outside sources for the research. The application has been approved by the University Committee on Health Research Facilities Grants, the Vice-President and Provost, and the Vice-President and Comptroller, and has already been filed to meet an April I, 1958, deadline, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees and to the availability of matching funds. Arrangements are being made to secure matching funds from private sources, but a portion may have to come from University funds if the grant is approved and accepted. I recommend approval of filing the application with the understanding that acceptance of the grant will be subject to availability of matching funds. O n m o t i o n of M r .

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS REGULATIONS GOVERNING PROCUREMENT A N D BIDDING (27) The Illinois Purchasing Act, approved July 11, 1957, requires each state agency to promulgate and publish rules and regulations governing its procurement practices and procedures which rules and regulations, and all additions and amendments thereto, must be approved by the State Department of Finance and filed with the Secretary of State. The Business Office and the Legal Counsel's Office have drafted regulations governing procurement procedures and bidding at the University of Illinois which have been submitted to the State Department of Finance for preliminary review. These regulations formalize what the University is presently doing. With minor modifications resulting from specific provisions in the Illinois Purchasing Act, the practices and policies reflected in these regulations are the same as those the University has been following for many years. The regulations are now submitted to the Board of Trustees. The Vice-President and Comptroller recommends adoption of these regulations effective June 1, 1958. I concur and recommend that the Secretary of the Board be authorized to submit them to the State Department of Finance for official approval, and after approval that he be authorized to file them with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of "An Act Concerning Administrative Rules."
