renewals of the sublease and for operational costs after that date will be requested in the budget of the Operation and Maintenance Division on an annual basis.

Extension of Lease of 1115 West Oregon Street, Urbana

(37) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees request the University of Illinois Foundation to enter into an extension of lease of a portion of the lower level (2,494 gross square feet) of the property at 1115 West Oregon Street, Urbana, for an instructional laboratory for the Department of Dance. T h e annual rental would be $6,000 for the period beginning October 1, 1975, and extending until June 30, 1978. The Foundation would sublease the space to the University, subject to the availability of funds, at the same rental on an annual basis. The Foundation would have the option to extend the lease until June 30, 1980, upon the same terms and conditions. Funds for rental and operation until June 30, 1976, are available in the operating budget of the Operation and Maintenance Division. Funds required for annual renewals of the sublease and for operational costs after that date will be requested in the budget of the Operation and Maintenance Division on an annual basis.

On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Governor Walker.

Conveyance of C. J. Mann Property, Bureau County

(38) In 1952 Mr. C. J. Mann of Gilman, Illinois, an alumnus of the University of Illinois, deeded eighty acres of land in Bureau County to the University. The land had been, and is, seriously damaged by wind erosion. T h e land was used for forestry research regarding the control of wind erosion on sandy land. The Department of Forestry of the College of Agriculture has determined that the land will no longer be used by that department, and it appears that the University will have no further use for the land. T h e Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District, a public body corporate and politic organized under the Illinois "Soil and Water Conservation Districts Law," 1 has requested that title to the land be transferred to it without cost. T h e district has 120 acres adjoining the parcel and will use the land to develop a conservation area. Accordingly, it is requested that the Board authorize appropriate administrative officers to seek legislation in the Illinois General Assembly empowering the University to convey title to the Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Howard, authorization was given as recommended by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mr. Velasquez; no, Mrs. Shepherd; absent, Governor Walker.
