engineering services in connection with the planning and construction of a parking structure for the Medical Center campus. That contract was executed on September 18, 1975, and has been in effect since then. The contract provided that neither the contract nor any right or obligation undertaken by Conrad Associates could be assigned without prior written approval of the University of Illinois. Now, as the result of an internal reorganization, Conrad Associates, Division of Conrad Building Systems, Inc., has requested the University's consent to assign this contract in its entirety to Conrad Associates East, Division of Construction Research and Development, Inc. There will be no other changes in the contract. The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees authorize the Comptroller and the Secretary to execute a consent to the assignment of the contract with Conrad Associates, Division of Conrad Building Systems, Inc., to Conrad Associates East, Division of Construction Research and Development, Inc.

Parking Lot Access, Urbana

(9) The city of Urbana has agreed to restrict automobile traffic on Mathews Avenue between Green and California Streets on a trial basis for a one-year period, starting about February 1, 1977, to better accommodate campus pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The Wesley Church and Foundation, 1203 West Green Street, Urbana, which owns a parking lot with an exit on Mathews Avenue, has requested the University to provide an exit from their lot during this period. Campus administrative officers have determined that such an exit can be provided through University parking lot D-6 exit to Goodwin Avenue, Urbana. Therefore, the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended that the Wesley Church and Foundation be granted vehicular access through University parking lot D-6 exit to Goodwin Avenue for a twelve-month period beginning on or about February 1, 1977. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r s . Rader, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s approved.
