BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 25

The Hospitals are in need of additional positions in ancillary services. These positions will be included in the biennial budget estimates for 1957-59. but in view of the availability of funds for the operation of the twelfth floor, it is proposed to use them to provide salaries for the new positions needed now. Such transfer is appropriate under the Act making the biennial appropriations to the University. This has been discussed with representatives of the State Department of Finance who concur in this proposed transfer. The Vice-President in Charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges and the Comptroller recommend that funds be transferred from the reserve held for the activation of the twelfth floor of the Research and Educational Hospitals and be allocated as follows, and I concur. College of Medicine 1. Pathology, salaries 2. Surgery, salaries 3. Radiology, salaries Research and Educational Hospitals 1. Central Supply, salaries 2. Clinics, salaries 3.

ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES ON UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS C14) Professor A. M. Richardson of the Department of Architecture, who was Consulting Architect for the new Law Building and who has done extensive design work on student residence halls, has resigned from the University to go into private practice. His work for the University has been so satisfactory that it is desired that his services be continued. The Director of the Physical Plant recommends employment of Professor Richardson and his new firm for (a) the design of a new residence hall for 1,000 undergraduate women students; (b) the completion of the design for a new residence hall for men; (c) the design of a new Fine and Applied Arts Building; (d) campus plan studies at Urbana-Champaign; (e) consultation as requested by the University on the designs of a new Plant Sciences Building, the addition to the Illini Union Building, a Central Food Storage Building, and family housing construction. It is proposed that compensation for these services on items ( a ) and (c) be at the rate of one-half of one per cent of the estimated construction cost of these buildings; and that compensation for services on the other projects be on the basis of actual salaries and wages paid to personnel while employed on them plus 75 per cent thereof for indirect costs. The estimated cost of these services under the arrangement proposed is approximately $37,000. These expenditures will be charges against the funds which become available for construction, but an advance from general University funds is necessary. T h e Comptroller and the Provost join with the Director of the Physical Plant in recommending a contract with Mr. Richardson and his associates as outlined above. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the
