RESOLUTION NO. 60-2
WHEREAS, the Nevada Society of Certified Public Accountants
is a group composed of Professional Accountants engaged in
private and public accounting, and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned members of the Nevada Society
of Certified Public Accountants desire to foster high scho-
larship achievement in the University of Nevada, to assist
deserving students in attaining a College education in
Business Administration and Accounting, and to encourage
students to follow a course of study leading to the practice
of Accounting.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that a program be adopted by this
Society to provide awards to deserving students at the Uni-
versity of Nevada as follows:
1. An annual cash award of $200.00 payable in the amount
of $100.00 per semester to a deserving Senior student
majoring in Accounting.
2. An annual award of a plaque or similar symbol of recog-
nition to the most outstanding graduate of the Univer-
sity of Nevada majoring in Accounting.
3. A certificate of recognition to be given to the out-
standing Accounting student completing the first eight
hour basic Accounting course each year.
4. A permanent plaque to be given to the University of
Nevada which is to be hung in an appropriate place in
the College of Business Administration, and on which
the name of the outstanding graduate majoring in
Accounting each year is to be engraved, and
BE IT RESOLVED, that the following standards and procedures
be followed in the selection of the students to receive the
awards.
1. The cash award of $200.00 is to be awarded to the out-
standing Junior student who has completed, or will com-
plete by the end of the school year, at least twenty
semester hours in Accounting subjects based upon the
collective opinions of the Professors in Accounting at
the University of Nevada, and concurred by the College
of Business Administration Scholarship Committee. In
the case of two equal candidates the scholarship should
be awarded to the student who requires the most finan-
cial assistance to complete his College courses.
2. The annual awards to the most outstanding graduate and
to the outstanding student completing the basic course
in Accounting should be given to the outstanding stu-
dents selected by the Professors in Accounting at the
University of Nevada and approved by the Dean of the
College of Business Administration.
3. The decision to make any or all of the awards designated
above rests with the aforementioned Officials at the
University of Nevada whether at the Reno or Las Vegas
Campus as conditions permit. The Las Vegas Campus at
the present time does not provide Junior and Senior
Accounting courses; however, as the curriculum of that
Campus expands and four year courses are offered, the
cash and plaque awards may be made.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, that sufficient funds be appropriated
from the cash resources of this Society to carry out the
aims of this scholarship program.
Grants
From the U. S. Public Service - Federal Grant in the amount

Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried

that the Secretary write appropriate notes of thanks to
the donors.

the University has the right to waive the requirement.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously by roll call vote, that the bid be accepted
and a contract drawn as recommended.
7. Progress Report - Building Program
President Armstrong called on Mr. Rogers, who reported that
of the building projects under construction -- married hous-
ing is within 90% of completion and moving rapidly; Housing
and Home Finance Agency has given authority for funds for
completely filling the lake, some excavation material has
already been dumped into the lake to partially fill it; Din-
ing Hall is about 85% complete; the Men's Dormitory is about
85% complete; the Greenhouse about 95% compelte; Agriculture
Mechanics building, the Library, the Classroom and Physical
Education building in Las Vegas, are under way; the Fine
Arts building is 95-97% complete.
8. Housing and Home Finance Agency
President Armstrong reported on negotiations for the Women's
Dormitory. At the request of HHFA Mr. Hayden and Mr. Rogers
went to San Francisco to meet with Mr. Weinstein regarding
the application for funds. In the meeting, it was agreed
that bonding for this project should be combined with the
bonds for the present HHFA projects. Certain revisions in
the application, as listing below, were requested by HHFA,
to be treated as amendments to the original application:
(1) That the project scope should be shown as "approxi-
mately 200", rather than "195-205".
(2) That the University is not in a position at this
time to consider undertaking the Parking Lot proj-
ect referred to in Section 1, Chapter 360, Laws of
Nevada.
(3) That, although the construction cost estimate
appears "tight", the University believes it will
be adequate because
(a) the nature of the design is such that it
should be less expensive to construct than
the Men's Dormitory now being built,
(b) alternates will be included in the bidding
documents to permit "tailoring" awards to
funds available, or
(c) in the absence of any other alternative, the
scope of the project could be reduced without
too seriously impairing financial feasibility.
Mr. Hayden reported on his conference with Mr. Gorman, Vice
President of the First National Bank of Nevada, who advised
that there would be no difficulty involved in increasing
interim financing or extending it. The rate of 2-7/8% will
not continue on the increased interim financing, and Mr.
Gorman did not indicate the rate the bank would be willing
to offer. However, Mr. Hayden pointed out that the Univer-
sity can secure financing through HHFA at 2-7/8% on the
current project and 3-1/4% on the new project.
The President recommended that the loan for the Women's
Dormitory be combined with that for the other revenue bond
projects.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that loan for the Women's Dormitory be combined
with the other projects for which loan is being sought by
the University, that the Comptroller be authorized to nego-
tiate with the bank for the additional interim financing
and if the bank does not wish to offer the loan at at least
3-1/4%, that he secure the interim financing through HHFA.
President Armstrong distributed copies of finanical state-
ment prepared by Mr. Hayden at request of HHFA showing
"Anticipated Annual Financial Operations, Halls Financed by
HFFA", which summarized as follows:
Now pledged as security $ 81,351
To be pledged for new dormitory 38,562
--------
119,913
Excess 23,850
Total Income $143,763
Motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the loan pledge include also income from
halls which may be approved.
President Armstrong reported that HHFA has allocated $12,600
for advance planning for a Social Science building on the
Reno Campus.
9. Capital Improvements - Legislative Program
President Armstrong reported on the problems facing the
Legislature regarding the appropriation for the Engineering
Mines building. The Governor and some members of the Legis-
lature are trying to keep at least ten million dollars in
the State's Reserve Fund, while other legislators believe
that more of the Reserve Fund should be used for current
appropriations. The $2,881,200 requested by the Univer-
sity for the Engineering Mines building would decrease the
Reserve Fund below the ten million dollars.
President Armstrong proposed, as an alternative though less
desirable program, but one which might be more acceptable
to the legislators, that the University agree to reduce the
request for the Engineering Mines building to the amount
required for the nuclear portion of the building ($225,000),
and to request appropriation at the next session of the
Legislature for the balance of the building. As part of the
substitute proposal, he recommended that the following items
included in the recommendation of the Governor and the State
Planning Board be dropped, also, and that the University
agree to accept instead certain items listed below.
Items in the Governor's and the Planning Boards recommenda-
tion to be dropped:
Master Plan, Reno Campus $ 48,280
Remodel Old Agriculture Building 24,420
Master Plan, Las Vegas Campus 9,000
--------
$ 81,700
Items to be substituted:
Nuclear Engineering Portion of Building $225,000
Student Union and Health Facility 300,000
Utilities, Reno Campus 68,700
Landscaping, Reno Campus 5,000
Utilities, Las Vegas Campus 42,000
Landscaping, Las Vegas Campus 10,000
--------
$650,700
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that if in the opinion of the President and the
Regents who are available at the time it does not seem feas-
ible that the University can obtain the entire Engineering
Mines building appropriation, the University propose to the
Legislature that this alternate plan would be acceptable as
a final resort.
10. Post Office
Dr. Armstrong discussed the University's plan to provide
Post Office facilities in the basement area of the new
Dining Hall, with approximately 1900 square feet of rental
area. It is proposed that the Post Office Department pay
to the University a monthly rental of 30 cents per square
foot, and that the University provide the necessary funds
to develop the facility and during the rental period would
provide maintenance, janitorial service, heat, light and
ventilation. The proposal has been referred to the local
Postmaster and by him to the Postal Installations Manager
in San Francisco. Since this item was not in the budget,
President Armstrong requested use of unallocated funds for
this purpose, at an amount of appoximately $18,000, to be
repaid in three or four years by payments from the Govern-
ment for Post Office rental.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously by roll call vote, that the President be author-
ized to use unallocated or non-budgeted funds to carry out
the plan for the Post Office on the Campus, as outlined
above.
11. Property, Southern Nevada
Mr. Germain discussed certain information which he has re-
ceived to the effect that some property is to open up along
the Colorado River below Davis Dam, and that there is a very
desirable piece of land which might be available to the
University, at no cost, under the Federal acquisition laws.
Mr. Germain suggested that the possibility of acquiring this
land be explored.
Motion by Mr. Crumley, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the Regents from Clark County be authorized
to explore this matter further and to proceed to acquire the
land, if possible.
12. Ladino Dairy Sales
Mr. Crumley reported. The University is now in receipt of
an opinion from the Attorney General which states that the
procedure for sale of the farm meets legal requirements.
Received also from the Attorney General was an approved
Notice of Sale form for advertising for bids and an outline
of Procedure and Related Matters Connected with Sale of
University of Nevada Experimental (Ladino) Dairy Farm. If
it is the wish of the Board, Mr. Crumley indicated his will-
ingness to proceed along these lines, individually or with
anyone designated to work with him.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unamimously by roll call vote that Regent Crumley be author-
ized to proceed with the necessary steps to be taken in con-
nection with the sale of the Ladino Dairy Farm as outlined
by the Attorney General, and among other things to set the
date for the bid opening.
It was agreed by consensus that a special meeting of the
Board of Regents would be called for the purpose of opening
bids when the date is set.
13. Orr Ditch
Mr. C. E. Fleming has served as representative of the Uni-
versity and a member of the Board of Directors of the Orr
Ditch Company. Mr. Fleming is due to retire and the Uni-
versity Engineer, Mr. Rogers, has been elected to the Board
of Directors. Dr. Armstrong recommended that he be offi-
cially designated as the representative of the University,
in formal action by the Board.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Crumley, carried
unanimously that Mr. Rogers represent the University at
meetings of the Orr Ditch Company with authority to vote
the stock of the University.
14. University Press
President Armstrong discussed the need for and value of a
University Press. The imprint, University of Nevada Press,
would be used to designate a regular series of publications
sponsored by the University in conformity with certain pol-
icies to be established by the Board of Regents upon the
advice of the University Editor and an Advisory Editorial
Board, with the actual printing to be done in the State
Printing Office. The University Press would be one of the
major assignments of the University Editor, who would serve
as Chairman of the faculty committee to be known as the
Advisory Editorial Board of the University Press. The Uni-
versity Pres would, in general, consider for publication
materials for books, monograms, quarterly reviews, etc., of
a creative or scholarly nature, treating historical, liter-
ary or scientific data pertaining to Nevada and the West
generally. The Advisory Editorial Board would initiate
policy and procedure proposals in its advisory capacity to
the University Editor and would review such proposals ini-
tiated by the Editor of others.
Dr. Armstrong recommended that the Jesse M. Whited Founda-
tion be designated as an endowment for this purpose and
that the income of about $2000 per year be earmarked for
the University Press.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that the Jesse M. Whited Estate be used as an
endowment fund to establish the University of Nevada Press,
as recommended.
15. Distinguished Nevadan Awards and Honorary Degrees
Mr. Arnold, Chairman of the Regents' Committee, reported on
the meeting held on Wednesday, March 2. The Committee and
President Armstrong recommended for awards at Commencement
this year, honorary degrees as follows:
Roy A. Hardy, Doctor of Mining Engineering
Clark J. Guild, Doctor of Jurisprudence
C. V. Isbell, Doctor of Science
In addition, the Committee and President Armstrong recom-
mended the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at a special
convocation for:
George Whittell
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that the honorary degrees be conferred as
recommended above.
The Committee and President Armstrong recommended for
Distinguished Nevadan Awards at Commencement this year,
the following individuals:
Vail Pittman
Merwyn H. Brown
William H. Moffat
Frederick H. Dressler
Edgar J. Marston
Mr. Germain submitted the name of Chris H. Sheerin of Elko
for a Distinguished Nevadan Award at Commencement this year.
He noted that Mr. Sheerin is a graduate of the University of
Nevada, a former Regent, and known for his services to Nev-
ada in many ways and in many areas.
Motion by Mr. Crumley, seconded by Mr. Elwell, carried
unanimously that the individuals recommended above, plus
Mr. Sheerin, be granted Distinguished Nevadan Awards.
Representatives of the Press agreed to keep these actions
on Honorary Degrees and Distinguished Nevadan Awards off
the record until an appropriate time preceding Commencement.
16. General Electric Company Proposal
A group of five representatives from General Electric Com-
pany met with the Regents at 11:30 A.M. to discuss a pro-
posed pilot study of long range community planning, using
a special technique known as "Simulation", with the City
of Reno becoming the area for the study. Mr. Jay. R.
Greene, Manager of Advanced Business Systems for General
Electric, discussed the details of the proposal on behalf
of his firm. He explained that this would be the first
project of its kind for an entire town or city area. The
City of Reno and the local Chamber of Commerce have already
been approached; the University of Nevada is being consider-
ed as a co-sponsoring agency. The General Electric repre-
sentative believed that if the initial phase is supported
locally, Federal funds would be available to carry the
program forward. The project is planned for a three-year
period and will probably require about a million and a half
dollars in that time, with approximately $90,000 needed to
get the program underway. The University would be asked in
the beginning phase of the program, only for office space
with two or three desks. By the second year, a computing
machine would be needed on the University Campus. Mr.
Greene stressed that while General Electric will provide
consulting services and will assist in any way it can,
leadership for raising funds should come from the community.
President Armstrong suggested that if General Electric would
provide one person to come to Reno, the University could
provide office space and undertake with others to explore
ways in which the program might be financed, and to see if
there is any interest in the community. President Armstrong
further suggested that a committee of Regents be appointed
to work with the Administration and other groups in study-
ing the proposal.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the University take the initial step by
setting up the committee to confer with General Electric
Company and the Chamber of Commerce and to make recommenda-
tion to the Board regarding the University's participation.
The Chairman appointed the following committee:
Dr. Anderson
Mr. Arnold
Mr. Crumley
Mr. Tyson
Dr. Lombardi, Chairman
17. Legislation
President Armstrong reported on the status of legislation
affecting the University, as follows:
AB 16 - Group Health and Accident Insurance - Passed and
signed by the Governor. This will make it possible
to develop an adequate health, accident, major med-
ical and group life insurance program for Univer-
sity employees. State agencies can contribute up
to 50% of the premium.
AB 175 - WICHE Modifications - Passed Assembly, lost on
Senate floor, now back for reconsideration.
AB 203 - Compulsory Retirement for Classified Employees -
Referred to Committee on Labor - probably dead for
this session.
SB 12 - Exempts University of Nevada from Bonded Indebted-
ness Payment on Gift Property - To Committee on
Taxation and probably lost for this session. Might
be covered by other legislation, already passed.
SB 37 - Permits Use of Facsimile Signature by Comptroller -
Passed and signed by Governor.
SB 38 - Allows Analysis of Soils and Water for Nevada Land-
owners - Passed Senate and now in Assembly.
SB 69 - Permits State Health Officer to Serve in Public
Health Program and Teach Courses at the University
in Nevada - Passed and sent to Governor. This bill
provides that the Health Officer may serve, but may
not be paid.
SB 113 - Prohibits Employment of Public Relations Officer in
State Agencies - Probably lost.
18. Leaves of Absence and Related Matters
Policy was approved at the last meeting contingent upon an
opinion of the Attorney General. The Attorney General ad-
vises remedial legislation and an appropriate bill has been
drawn for introduction by Senator Gallaher, Chairman of the
Committee on State University.
19. Cornerstone, J. E. Church Fine Arts Building
President Armstrong invited the Regents to attend the cor-
nerstone laying ceremony at 2:00 P.M. on Sunday, March 6.
He also invited the Regents to meet at the President's
Office on that date at 1:00 P.M. to visit the Vacuum Gage
Laboratory in the Physics Department.
20. Name Plates for Buildings
President Armstrong suggested that name plates be author-
ized for buildings which have been named for individuals.
Motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Mr. Elwell, carried
unanimously that the University Engineer be authorized to
proceed with plans for securing suitable name plates for
Maude Frzier Hall, Archie C. Grant Hall, Peter Frandsen
Hall, and Reuben C. Thompson Hall.
21. Whittell Property
Dr. Anderson, after discussion with the President, made the
suggestion to Captain Whittell that it would be appropriate
for the property in Little Valley donated by him to the
University to be named for him. Captain Whittell agreed to
the suggestion. President Armstrong recommended that this
be done, and it was agreed by consensus that the exact word-
ing of a suitable name be referred to the Regents' Building
Committee for recommendation at the next meeting.
22. Momand Estate
President Armstrong reported that the will of Agenes Momand
gives to the University ultimately approximately $700,000,
but distribution depends upon the length of life of two
beneficiaries. The fee requested for services on behalf of
the University by the firm of Breed, Abbot, and Morgan of
New York was $30,000. The Regents asked Mr. Porter for
advice as to whether or not this was a reasonable sum for
the services. Mr. Porter will report at the next meeting.
23. Emeritus Status
President Armstrong read the action of the Board of Regents
of June 5, 1948 as follows:
"Each member of the staff of the University who goes on
the retired list shall be given, during the remainder
of his life, an emeritus ranking the same as his rank-
ing during the final year of service. An emeritus
professor shall be a member of the University Faculty
with voice but not with vote at Faculty meetings."
Dr. Armstrong pointed out that emeritus status has been
granted in practice in the past by positive action by the
Board of Regents, and recommended that the 1948 action of
the Board be modified to bring the procedure in line with
the procedure followed in granting tenure, promotions, etc.,
and ending with action by the Board of Regents.
Motion by Mr. Crumley, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the 1948 policy statement be modified in
accordance with the recommendation of the President, and
the President be authorized to prepare a statement to ac-
complish that purpose and present it at the next meeting.
24. Regents' Meetings
President Armstrong proposed that the next meeting be held
in April in Ely, and that the following meeting be held in
Las Vegas.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the next regular meeting of the Board be
held in Ely on Saturday, April 2, and the following meeting
be held in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 7.
The meeting adjourned at 12:45 P.M.
