(9) I n September 1972 the Board of Trustees approved an agreement providing for the operation of the Levis Faculty Center by the Levis Faculty Center Sponsors, Inc. The agreement provided that Sponsors were to conduct operations and programs in the Center, were to have the sole right to engage in revenue-producing activities, and could establish certain fees. Maintenance and repair, along with the provision of utilities and certain other staff and service assistance, were the responsibility of the University. I n addition, the University Club was given certain reservation privileges with respect to designated space.
