UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

455

The Dean of the College of Law has now recommended that the agreement be renewed for the next ten successive volumes beginning 1977 through 1986, inclusive, on substantially the same terms. The Chancellor at Urbana and the Vice President for Administration concur in this recommendation. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved.

Contract with Prentice-Hall, Inc.

(9) Prentice-Hall, Inc., has indicated a willingness to publish a monograph entitled "Structural and Geotechnical Mechanics" which was written for a symposium honoring Nathan M. Newmark, Professor of Civil Engineering. The Vice Chancellor for Research at Urbana-Champaign has recommended the execution of a contract with Prentice-Hall, Inc., under which the University would give the publisher an exclusive license to publish the monograph and the publisher would copyright the monograph in the name of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. T h e University would pay $2,400 toward publishing costs to the publisher, and the publisher would pay the remainder. The publisher would pay a 10 percent royalty to the University for all monograph sales after the publisher recovers its investment in the project (after sale of an estimated 4,000 copies). The Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at Urbana-Champaign and the Vice President for Administration concur in this recommendation. I recommend approval.

Agreement with Journal Films, Inc.

(10) Under grants received from various agencies, the Police Training Institute has produced five motion pictures 1 and two publications. 2 The granting agencies reserved rights to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use (and to authorize others t o use) these works for government purposes. The Director of the Police Training Institute has recommended that the University enter into an agreement with Journal Films, Inc., of Chicago, granting the latter a license to copy, sell, and distribute, but not to exhibit for a fee, throughout the United States (with the exception of Illinois) those works subject to the rights of the sponsoring agencies. Journal Films, Inc., would provide in lieu of royalties eight prints of each film title to the University. The license would be granted for a period of five years and be automatically renewed unless either party serves notice of intent not to renew. The Vice President for Academic Affairs concurs in the recommendations. I recommend that the Board authorize the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board to execute the agreement in accordance with the general terms set forth above. O n m o t i o n of M r . L i v i n g s t o n , a u t h o r i t y w a s given as r e c o m m e n d e d .

1 The motion pictures are: "The Key Man," "Domestic Disturbance," "Back to School," "You Can't Win 'em All," and "Put Down." 3 The publications are: Handling the Tough Ones and Leaders Guide on Override Discretionary Control.
