purchased with the residence include

Over the past two years, nearly
all of the state universities in Illinois
have undertaken to construct or to
purchase official residences for their
presidents within the $150,000

m:tximum set by the Board of Higher
Education.

Kenneth E. Hesler, Director of
University Relations at Eastern and
Executive Director of the Founda-
tion, said that Eastern's decision to
purchase a residence rather than to

construct one was based principally
upon a recommendation of the in-
stitution's Council on University
Planning, an advisory body of facul-
ty, administrators and students.

"A special committee appointed by
the Council visited a number of resi-
dences in the community and report-
ed back to the parent body before
the Council made its recommenda-
tion on 1112 Coolidge," said Hesler.
