BOARD OF REGENTS
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
June 2, 1967
The Board of Regents met on the above date in the Travis Lounge
of the Student Union building, Reno Campus. Present were
Regents Anderson, Grant, Hug, Jacobsen, Ronzone, Magee, Seeliger,
and Smith; President Armstrong, Vice Presidents Humphrey and
Mordy, Chancellor Moyer, Mr. Ed Pine, Mr. Ed Olsen, Mr. Peter
Breen from the Attorney General's Office. Present from the
Press were Miss Pat Rogero and Mrs. Mimi La Plante.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Anderson at 9:30 A.M.
1. Approval of Minutes of Previous Meeting
Upon motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug and unani-
mous vote, the minutes of the meeting of May 13, 1967 were
approved as distributed.
2. Proposed Patent Policy
An amended policy statement, developed by the Committee at
the request of the Board, was distributed and discussed.
However, since NSU has not yet acted on the amended policy
statement, it was moved by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr.
Seeliger and carried without dissent, that action be delayed
until the July meeting at which time NSU will have prepared
its recommendation concerning the proposed policy.
3. Current Year Audit, Desert Research Institute
President Armstrong's comments and recommendations concern-
ing the Auditors' Interim Report of Desert Research Insti-
tute which had been presented to the Board at its May meet-
ting:
During the course of their audit of the financial records
and procedures of the University of Nevada for the current
fiscal year, the firm of independent auditors retained by
the University of Nevada, Kafoury, Armstrong, Bernard and
Bergstrom, raised some questions, with related observations
and recommendations, concerning certain aspects of the
current financial administration of the Desert Research
Institute's Fleischmann Grant. These preliminary questions
and recommendations were transmitted to the Board of Regents
during the course of a meeting of the Administrative and
Personnel Committee of the Board on May 12, 1967. These
matters were then referred to the University Administration
for study, report and recommendation at the present meeting
of the Board.
The auditors' observations have accordingly been reviewed by
Vice President Mordy and members of the DRI staff, by Vice
President Humphrey and by myself. The report which follows
consolidates our thinking and transmits to the Board my
recommendations for appropriate action.
(1) The auditors noted "Salary of a resident alien has been
included on the Fund One DRI payroll during the current
fiscal year; such salary appears to be contrary to the
Board's own policy statement governing DRI operations."
The enabling State legislation which established the
Desert Research Institute permits the Board of Regents
to adopt personnel policies permitting payment of cer-
tain alien personnel even from appropriated funds.
However, the Board has not as yet chosen to adopt such
a policy statement with respect to appropriated monies.
Under the circumstances, therefore, I recommend that
the salary in question be transferred to DRI non-appro-
priated funds and that this also be done in the case of
another resident alien in DRI who is a similar case.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Smith, carried
without dissenting vote that the above recommendation be
approved. Mr. Hug requested that the Administration study
this item for discussion at a later meeting as to the ad-
visability of adopting a policy statement with respect to
appropriated monies.
(2) The auditors commented: "Continuation of the calendar
year contract commitment to an advertising agency in
the annual amount of $10,000 was affected without ob-
taining approval or advising the Fleischmann Founda-
tion of the contract renewal (charged to Atmospherium
Grant funds)."
The auditors' comment here involves a misunderstanding
on their part due to lack of complete information. The
original idea of engaging a public relations firm grew
out of discussions between trustees of the Fleischmann
Foundation with Vice President Mordy and myself. In my
proposal dated September 30, 1965, to the Fleischmann
Foundation for a general Desert Research Institute
Grant, I noted that the Atmospherium-Planetarium, on
the basis of previous experience, would not be entirely
self-supporting, and we therefore requested a contribu-
tion to the annual operating expenses over a five-year
period. I noted: "During a five-year interval with
professional assistance in public promotion it seems
highly probably that the income can be significantly
increased ..... To implement these plans we believe
that at least five years continuity for planning and
development is necessary."
The original request to the Foundation was for $50,000
per year for the Atmospherium for a five-year period.
Subsequently, in our revised proposal, dated December
22, 1965, following further discussions with the
Trustees of the Foundation and their review of a speci-
fic proposal made by the advertising agency, we revised
the request upward to $60,000 per year for a five-year
period and noted that the cost of the public relations
program on an annual basis was included in that budget.
When the Foundation trustees subsequently approved this
request, the retention of the advertising agency during
this period was implicit.
For this reason, it did not appear to any of us that
prior approval for the second annual renewal of the
contract with the advertising agency was necessary,
especially in view of the fact that the firm selected
for this purpose was approved by the Foundation trust-
ees.
I do believe, however, that it is entirely appropriate
for the Board of Regents to review any further exten-
sion of the annual contract, beyond the current one
which expires at the end of this calendar year. At
that point we shall have had two years' experience
with the results obtained, and the Regents can make a
decision whether or not they wish to recommend to the
Fleischmann Foundation the continuation of the ad-
vertising firm's contract beyond this point. Here
it would seem that the basis of consideration would
be the business wisdom and value of continuing such
advertising services. But if any change should be
contemplated, I would strongly recommend that this
matter be reviewed with the Fleischmann trustees in
view of their original grant for such services
covering a period of five years.
Motion by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the above recommendation be accepted.
(3) The auditors state: "Personnel service or consulting
contracts were not available for two professional per-
sons to whom disbursements were made from Fleischmann
Grant funds."
Arrangements with the first individual for consulting
services go back to a letter of agreement dated Septem-
ber 13, 1960, signed by me providing for annual re-
newal.
The second individual was paid for intermittent con-
sulting services on a "Request for Check" form (VP-F
81) due to an apparent misunderstanding as to the use
of this form.
In future, I recommend that these individuals should be
paid by Independent Contractor's Agreements on forms
provided by the University. The Board of Regents wish
to review the advisability of renewing these agreements
in the future and I recommend that this be done.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mrs. Magee, that Presi-
dent Armstrong's recommendation be approved with further
study to be given as to the advisability of renewing the
subject agreements.
Above motion amended by Mr. Hug by suggesting that no an-
nual commitments be made until after next meeting of the
Board of Regents to give the Administration time to study
and make recommendations as to contractual arrangements.
Motion to amend seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried unani-
mously. Original motion also carried unanimously.
(4) "Financial commitments apparently discussed in the
Board of Regents Executive Session held in the Spring
of 1966 (from which both Chancellors and the Vice
President of Finance were excluded) were not appro-
priately communicated to the University Officers
responsible for ultimate budgeting and financial
administration of such commitments."
The financial commitments referred to by the auditors
were:
(1) The affirmation of the principle that the Univer-
sity will move as rapidly as possible to transfer
onto appropriated funds operating expenses of the
Desert Research Institute including salaries of
distinguished scientists being supported under the
Fleischmann Grants of 1961 and 1966, on an ascend-
ing scale through 1971;
(2) Establishment as rapidly as feasible of a rotating
research contingency fund, designed to provide
emergency financial support for ongoing programs
while renewal of outside contracts and grants from
various Federal agencies are in process.
These matters and other non-fiscal policy consid-
erations for the Desert Research Institute were
discussed with Professor Mordy during a meeting of
the Regents' Research Committee in the Spring of
1966, and subsequently reviewed and approved by
the Board of Regents in closed Executive Session
at which no administrative officers of the Univer-
sity were present except the President. This was
done because the session primarily involved ap-
proval of an additional title and the assignment
of new responsibilities to Professor Mordy, lead-
ing to his appointment as Vice President.
Of course, this was subsequently announced
formally.
The intent of the Regents to implement the commit-
ment to absorb an increasing amount of the operat-
ing costs of the Desert Research Institute through
State funds was carried out in the 1967-69 Bien-
nial Budget Request to the State Legislature, in
which the ascending schedule was adhered to be
requesting additional State appropriation for
this purpose. The fact that this new money was
not appropriated by the 1967 Legislature has
made it temporarily, at least, impossible for us
to meet fully this present commitment, but in
the past we have been able to accomplish modest
steps in that direction. Other financial con-
siderations arose during the 1966-67 year and
subsequently have made it impracticable to date
to move toward the establishment of the rotating
contingency research reserve.
In spite of financial difficulties which have
prevented the Regents from carrying forward these
commitments as rapidly as intended, I recommend
that we continue to make every effort to obtain
necessary State support to carry out our commit-
ments to the Foundation on operating and salary
expenses of DRI, and that we seek every available
means to establish the contingency reserve as soon
as possible.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
(5) "No detailed operating financial management plan was
available reflecting anticipated revenue sources and
the projected expenditure thereof."
In the past, budgets for expenditures and revenues
from three sources of funds for DRI have been submitted
to the Vice President-Finance: (1) State appropriated
fund, (2) the Fleischmann Grant, both of these on a
yearly basis, and (3) other grants and contracts as
proposals are made and when such funds are committed to
the Institute by the sponsors.
In view of the fact that most of the financial support
for research programs comes from outside grants or
contracts in short-term funds, a large amount of uncer-
tainty is inevitable, and hence budgets for such funds
can only be estimated.
The auditors have recommended that the overall finan-
cial management plan for the forthcoming biennium for
DRI should list all firm or contingent sources of reve-
nues and all firm or anticipated expenditures, with ex-
penditures defined by program as well as their object
classification, and each item of revenue and expendi-
ture clearly indicated as firm or contingent. This
plan should be reviewed by the Vice President Finance
and submitted with his recommendations to the Board of
Regents for approval, providing that the program should
be reviewed on a continuing basis as contingencies be-
come firm or other projects are incorporated into the
Institute's program. Such a plan should be resubmitted
as revised, at least annually.
We are in full agreement with the auditors' recommenda-
tions in these respects and, therefore, I recommend to
the Board of Regents as follows:
The Desert Research Institute should develop detailed
program statements by related functional groups. These
summary statements should be supported by detailed
accounts for travel, operating and equipment. The pro-
gram statements should be divided by fiscal year and
information should be included concerning the total
grant or contracts involved and the term. This infor-
mation for 1967-68 should be submitted through usual
budget review channels in order to be ready for distri-
bution to the Board of Regents with the July meeting
agenda. After review and adoption of the 1967-68 plan,
the Desert Research Institute should develop a projec-
tion for 1968-69 in order that any problems which re-
quire Fund One participation can be understood and
solutions proposed.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried with
Mrs. Magee abstaining, that President Armstrong's recom-
mendation be adopted with the provision that the Adminis-
tration (Vice Presidents Humphrey and Mordy in consultation
with President Armstrong) work out a format for applying
the policy regulations, with the procedure to be reviewed
by the Board of Regents as soon as feasible.

5. Transfer of Funds
President Armstrong presented the following transfers of
funds of more than $2,000 with his recommendation for
approval:
Numbers 393 ($125 from Honors Study Board Out-of-State
Travel account), 395 ($35 from Admissions and Registrars
Office Out-of-State Travel) and 396 ($50 from General
University Extension Out-of-State Travel) to Office of
Institutional Research Out-of-State Travel to provide
funds for Mr. K. D. Jessup to attend Association for
Institutional Research meeting.
#394 $125 from Institutional Research In-State Travel
account to Honors Study Board Operating account to
replace out-of-state funds in transfer #393.
#397 $83.17 from Retirement Fund Premium to Contingency
Reserve. Previously the Board approved the transfer
of $400 to provide funds for the University Marching
Band to participate in Armed Forces Day parade in
Tonopah. This created a deficit in the Contingency
Reserve of $83.17. This transfer will provide funds
needed to balance the account.
#400 $100 from the Chancellor's Office Graduate Assistance
account to the University Council to provide funds for
office equipment.
#412 $45.80 from Max C. Fleischmann College of Agriculture
Out-of-State Travel account to Chancellor, Reno Out-
of-State Travel account to provide funds for balance
of 1966-67.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the above fund transfers be approved.
President Armstrong also presented the following transfers
of less than $2,000 for information:
#464 $1,249 from the Sabbatical Leaves to the Contingency
Reserve. This represents the amount of unused Sab-
batical Leave money for 1966-67.
#465 $125 from Contingency Reserve to Institutional Member-
ships to provide funds for approved memberships.
#466 $755.24 from Contingency Reserve to George Whittell
Forest and Wildlife Area Board to provide operating
funds for balance of 1966-67.
#467 $75.50 from Contingency Reserve to Radiological Safety
Board to provide funds for film badge service for bal-
ance of 1966-67.
6. Approval of Check Registers
President Armstrong presented, with recommendation for
approval, the check registers as submitted by Mr. Humphrey.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the check registers be approved as submitted.
7. Out-of-State Fee Waivers
In response to a request by the Board when it set the new
percentage allocations for out-of-state fees in 1966 are
the following recommendations for 1967-68:
Type of Award Percentage Number for 1967-68
Music 23 40
Athletics 50 85
Other 27 45
Total 170
Chancellor Miller further recommended (in a letter dated
May 9, 1967) that a separate category of in-state fee
waivers be established permitting the allocation of up to
20 resident fee waivers to Nevada Resident Indians. These
20 waivers would not be included in the present group of
fee waivers which is based upon 3% of the total student
enrollment. He also further recommended that the Scholar-
ship Board make an annual review of recipients of these
awards requiring, for continuation of the award in the
subsequent year, that recipients have a minimum of 2.0
grade point average. Dr. Miller pointed out in his letter
that in all other cases a review is now made at the end
of each semester and the annual review would allow suf-
ficient time for the Indian student to adjust to College
and continue qualifying for the in-state fee waiver.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Smith, carried with
Regents Hug and Jacobsen opposing. Mr. Hug stated that his
reason for opposition was only because the statment request-
ing these waivers for Indian students does not indicate for
what purpose the the waivers released by this action will be
used.
8. Waiver of Fees for Graduate Assistants
President Armstrong presented, with his endorsement, the
following recommendation from Chancellor Miller, noting that
this proposal had been reviewed and also endorsed by Vice
President Humphrey.
That Graduate Assistants who are under contract for the
academic year be granted the privilege of waiver of regis-
tration fees for the Summer Session immediately prior to the
effective date of their contracts. In the event a contract
has not been signed, a statement from the Department Chair-
man that a contract was being offered would constitute
sufficient evidence to obtain a fee waiver card for the
Summer Session.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without
dissent that the above recommendation be approved and be
applicable to both Campuses.
9. Estimative Budgets for 1967-68
In addition to the estimative budgets for 1967-68 which were
distributed at the May meeting, Mr. Humphrey also submitted
revised budgets for Student Health Services, Reno, and Max
Fleischmann Foundation Grant for DRI Administration, and an
additional budget to cover Computer Sales, NSU, which had
not been received in time to be distributed with material
submitted at the earlier meeting. President Armstrong
recommended approval of the estimative budgets as submitted
by Mr. Humphrey.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without
dissent that the estimative budgets for 1967-68, as submit-
ted by Mr. Humphrey, be approved.
10. Budget Revision for NSU Technical Institute
Mr. Humphrey submitted with his recommendation for approval
a revision to the NSU Technical Institute budget for 1967-
68. This revision was made necessary by the fact that the
State Department of Education has committed $22,516 more to
this program than was approved in the work program.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Smith, carried
without dissent that the revised budget be approved as
submitted.
11. Personnel Appointments

the Technical Institute.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
unanimously that the program be approved as proposed.
18. ROTC
President Armstrong presented for the Board's review a
number of documents discussing the recent proposal by the
University Council, as reported in Faculty Policy Bulletin
#67-12, "That effective September 1, 1967, Military Science
and Tactics no longer be a requirement for graduation", and
asked for discussion by representatives of the faculty who
were present.
Dean Basta, as Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee to Study
ROTC, reviewed for the Board the recommendation of that
Committee as reported in a letter to the President on
December 30, 1966. The motion of that Committee and its
recommendations are as follows:
After careful deliberation of the 18 March 1965 recommenda-
tions of the University Policy Committee on Academic Stand-
ards as approved by the University Council and the Board of
Regents, analysis of the factors set forth in our iterim
report to the University Council on 7 November 1966 and
further detailed study of the ROTC program, your Committee
has concluded that no significant reasons exist at this time
to change the Basic Military Science Program from mandatory
to voluntary or implement any immediate change in course
content, academic credit or other related matters. The
Committee does feel, however, that in order to provide for
better understanding, effective coordination and continuous
study of the ROTC program and its relationship to other
University endeavors, a permanent Military Affairs Board
should be established.
Accordingly, it is recommended that:
1. The Military Science requirement as specified in 1966-67
University of Nevada General catalog be maintained.
2. The Department of Military Science and the College of
Arts and Science continue to review the curriculum,
credit hours, exemptions and other related matters in
accordance with established University procedures.
3. A Military Affairs Board responsible to the Chancellor
be established on the Reno Campus. This Board chaired
by the Military Coordinator and composed of representa-
tives of the Administration, each College and School,
the Department of Military Science, and the ASUN,
would meet at least semi-annually to review the ROTC
program and to consider suggestions and/or recommenda-
tions on military matters which are University-wide in
scope. It is further recommended that the Professor of
Military Science submit an annual report of operations
to this Board.
Dean Basta stated that the above recommendations of his
Committee still stand.
Dr. Hulse was present as a representative of the Executive
Committee of the University Council and presented the fol-
low ing statement:
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA:
It is my privilege to appear here today by invitation of
President Armstrong and at the suggestion of the Executive
Committees of the University Council and the newly-elected
University Senate.
The recent "Class A" ballot on ROTC revealed that approx-
imately 70% of the faculty members prefer a voluntary
program of military training to replace the present
program of compulsory training for Freshmen and Sophomore
men. About a year ago, the faculty of the College of Arts
and Science voted by a substantial majority in favor of a
resolution that expressed the opinion that there is no
sufficient academic justification for compulsory ROTC.
The committee that worked on this problem assembled a great
deal of information from other institutions where similar
transitions have occurred in recent years, and the evidence
showed an overwhelming majority of cases in which change-
over has worked well. We have assurances to the effect that
the Department of Defense and the Department of the Army do
not regard compulsory ROTC programs as essential or even
preferable to voluntary programs in training officers for
the military services. Correspondence with the appropriate
military authorities has established that the Army is will-
ing to assist the University in making the transition. The
contract between the University and the Department of the
Army puts no obstacles in the way of a changeover.
Some members of the faculty and Administration on this
Campus have expressed concern about the technical problems
that might arise in making the transition. It was the opin-
ion of the committee on which I served that there are no
technical or administrative problems that would preclude the
adoption of a voluntary program before the beginning of the
Fall semester, and there was strong sentiment to the effect
that, once the decision is made, it should be implemented as
soon as feasible.
The faculty is familiar with the argument, often presented
by those who favor the present compulsory program, that it
is unfair to Freshman students to remove this requirement,
because those who fail to take ROTC will lose an opportunity
for orientation in the advantages of the advanced ROTC pro-
gram. A majority of the faculty is obviously not convinced
by this argument. The same plea could be made for required
Freshmen courses in other important areas on the same basis.
Why should we not have required Freshman courses in American
History and Civilization, or in Electrical Engineering, or
in Economics for the same reason? All of these fields are
important for the well-being of our nation. The desired
orientation can be provided in other ways.
Nor has the faculty been impressed by the argument that
training in military science and tactics provides indis-
pensable and unique instruction in leadership. Certainly
one of the important goals of all academic Departments is
to prepare students for roles of leadership in society,
and it would be foolish to assert that the military science
training program has any pre-eminence in this.
Let me emphasize that the intention of the proposal before
you is simply to remove the requirement of the ROTC training
as a condition for graduation. Any course that a student
completes in ROTC will continue to carry University credit
as previously. No policy change with reference to transfer
credits is proposed, and no change in the status of students
presently under contract with the Department of the Army to
complete advanced ROTC training would be effected.
It is obvious that there are significant differences of
opinion on this matter. I believe it is my duty to report
to you that there is a strong feeling, shared by quite a few
faculty members, that a deliberate effort has been made to
keep this matter from getting into the hands of the Presi-
dent and Board of Regents in this form. This issue has been
before University committees for at least three years. Some
of the most valuable members of this faculty are expressing
intense frustration because this proposal has encountered so
many obstacles. Part of this is due, of course, to the
cumbersome faculty machinery that we have; the committee
finally got an opportunity to vote, it expressed its opinion
decisively, and there is a strong hope that the Board will
ease the present tension by acting in the near future on
this matter.
James W. Hulse
Dr. Kirkpatrick spoke briefly on the history of the question
of voluntary versus mandatory ROTC as it has been considered
by the University Council. Dr. Beesley, as former Chairman
of the Council, also reviewed the history of the action by
the faculty.
Colonel Ralf spoke on the ROTC question as it concerns the
Military Department and its responsibility for providing
officers to the U. S. Armed Forces and his concern that the
young male student might be deprived of an opportunity to be
fully informed of his military obligations and his opportun-
ity through an ROTC program.
Colonel Thomas Miller also appeared as a supporter of com-
pulsory ROTC training.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that this matter be tabled until the July
meeting to provide additional time for study.
19. Proposed Two-Year Associate of Science Degree Program in
Fire Science at NSU
President Armstrong presented with his recommendation for
approval a proposal from Chancellor Moyer to initiate in
September 1967 a 2-year Associate of Science Degree Program
in Fire Science at NSU under supervision of the Technical
Institute.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried with-
out dissent that the program be approved as proposed.
20. Proposed Bachelor of Arts Program in Anthropology or
Sociology at NSU
President Armstrong presented with his recommendation for
approval a proposal from Chancellor Moyer to offer effective
September 1967 a Bachelor of Arts Program in Anthropology or
Sociology and the creation of an Anthropology-Sociology
Department to facilitate the degree at NSU.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried with-
out dissent that the program be approved as proposed.
21. Removal of Concrete Bleachers in Former Stadium Area
Mr. Pine reported that the State Planning Board will bid the
removal of concrete bleachers in the former stadium area.
The estimated cost of $5,508 will come from the contingency
reserve on the Effie Mona Mack Social Science building pro-
ject. Mr. Pine recommended that the Administration be
authorized to concur in the award of the contract.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried by roll
call vote that the above recommendation be approved.
22. Furniture Bids - Effie Mona Mack Social Science Building
Mr. Pine reported that the bids for the above were opened on
May 24, 1967. The bids have been reviewed and the State
Purchasing Department has accepted low bid on a number of
items. Mr. Pine recommended that the University concur in
the award of bids, as recommended by the State Purchasing
Division and the State Planning Board, as indicated on the
attached list. Total cost of the bids to be awarded under
above is $89,688 which is within a proposed budget of
$125,000 for furniture.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Smith, carried
without dissent that the University concur in the award of
bids as recommended.

mously that the above recommendations be approved and

24. Shades and Draperies, Social Science Building
Mr. Pine reported that on May 22, 1967 a recommendation was
made by the State Purchasing Division to award shades and
drapery bid on the Social Science building to Quimby's for
$5,292.00. Since that time it has been discovered by the
Purchasing Division that the material is not as specified.
It is now recommended that award be made for the specified
times for the second bidder. Other bids were as follows:
William Morrow, Sacramento $6,100.00
Herb's Awning Company, Reno $6,188.00
Ann's Custom Service, Reno $8,290.00
Motion by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the University concur in the award of
the bid only if it made to Herb's Awning Company, Reno. It
was noted that although this bid is higher, the difference
is small and not significant enough to justify awarding the
contract to an out-of-state firm.

Mr. Humphrey reported that a notification has been received
from the Clark County Planning Commission that a hearing is

this property from R-1 to C-1 (Limited Commercial) to
construct "21,750 sq. ft. of retail stores, shops and

to such a rezoning and that members of the staff and Board
plan to be present at the hearing.

the original gift of $1,000 with the excess of approximately
$858 of earned income now in the Fund be made available to
the Mackay School of Mines for the purchase of books and
equipment.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried by
roll call vote that, in view of Mr. Kittle's request to

some more appropriate manner to honor his wife's memory,
his request be approved and the excess over $1,000 be used
by the Mackay School of Mines as suggested.
