1286 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 19
ADDITION TO CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
MEN'S RESIDENCE HALLS
(17) The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and
Comptroller recommend an increase of $3,572 in the contract with Felmley-
Dickerson Co., Urbana, for the general work on the construction of the Men's
Residence Halls in the Parade Grounds area. This addition provides for the
construction of sidewalks in the enclosed courtyards of the three dormitory buildings.
The sidewalks were not included in the original contract because specifications
could not be written until the landscaping plans for the area were developed.
Funds are available in the proceeds of the issue of Men's Residence Halls
Revenue Bonds of 1957.
I concur.
On motion of Mrs. Holt, this change in the contract was authorized
by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr.
Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr.
Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Stratton.
HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL INSURANCE FOR 1958-59
(18) The University has a contract with the Bankers Life and Casualty Company
of Chicago for the hospital-medical-surgical insurance for students and staff for
J 957-58 with the right of renewal annually upon mutual agreement with the Company.
Relationships with the Company have been excellent. Claims have been paid
promptly and without exception. The Company has incurred losses, due in part
to an abnormal number of claims resulting from the incidence of Asian influenza
last fall.
Bankers Life and Casualty Company proposes adjustments in premiums and
benefits for 1958-59 as follows:
Premiums
Bankers Life and Second
Casualty Company Low Bid
1957-58 1958-59 1957-58
Students (per semester) J 6 40 J 6 80 J 6 90
Staff (per year)
Employee (single) 26 25 29 25 35 00
Couple 52 50 56 25 70 00
Family 63 00 65 25 90 00
Amount Charged
Students and Staff
by the University
$ 7 00
30 25
57 25
66 25
In addition, the benefits for the Urbana Campus student plan would be modified
to the extent that the maternity benefit would be reduced to a flat allowance of
$85 from the present benefit paying approximately $225. This benefit will then be
equivalent to that of the Urbana staff plan.
The Navy Pier student program would continue on the premium schedule
currently in effect and would have the hospital miscellaneous expense provision
increased from Jioo to $200.
The Finance Committee has considered and recommends this acceptance of
the Bankers Life and Casualty Company's proposal.
On motion of Mr. Johnston, this recommendation was approved by
the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr.
Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins,
Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Stratton.
CONTRACT WITH OZARK AIR LINES FOR THE USE OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AIRPORT

with Ozark Air Lines for the use of facilities at the University of Illinois Airport
on a month-to-month basis until June 30, 1958. A new contract can not be negotiated
until assignments of space in the new Administration Building are determined.
In the meantime, the Director of the Institute of Aviation and the Vice-
President and Comptroller recommend that the present contract be continued on
the month-to-month basis until the new building is occupied. Ozark Air Lines will
continue paying the following charges now in effect:
1. Landing fees $360 per month or two per cent of the "on line" revenue, whichever
