Additional training experiences should enable graduates to plan and manage their continuing education and better understand and function within their communities.

Licenses for Acquisition of "SUPERWYLBUR Software Packages"

(7) T w o University computer centers, the University Office of Administrative Computing Services and the Chicago Circle Computer Center, use IBM System 370 computers and make extensive use of terminals for entry and recovery of data. The directors of both centers desire to obtain licenses for a "SUPERWYLBUR software package." This package extends the IBM operating system capabilities by providing a data entry and management system for use with terminals, as opposed to use of keypunches and card readers. Optimum Systems Incorporated, of California, the licensor of the SUPERWYLBUR software package, has offered to waive its usual licensing fee ($30,000 for the first license and $27,500 for the second license) and provide the University two licenses in trade for twenty-five J E S / T S O Interface Package licenses for which the University will waive its usual licensing fee of $1,500 per license. 1 T h e vice president for administration, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, has recommended that the comptroller and the secretary be authorized t o execute a contract with Optimum Systems Incorporated as described. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, authority was given as recommended. Report of Rejection of Bids, Single-Student Residence, Medical Center
