5. Gift of S-Bar-S Ranch to the University of Nevada
Dean Bohmont presented detailed information concerning an
offer by Mrs. Helen Marye Thomas of a gift of the S-Bar-S
Ranch to the University of Nevada. This ranch consists of
387.88 acres of land located 28 miles northeast of Reno,
near Wadsworth. Besides the 60 acres of irrigated lands and
228 acres of river channel and adjacent range land, build-
ings and equipment available for immediate use include a
two-room guest house, a foreman's house, barn machine shed,
corrals, tool house, spring house and other sheds, a 1965
Ford tractor with attachments and haying equipment. In ad-
dition, there is one large three-bedroom residence, one two-
bedroom guest house and pool and two-car garage which Mrs.
Thomas has requested be reserved for her use during the
remainder of her lifetime. In offering this gift to the
University for use by the College of Agriculture as a re-
source conservation and wildlife research and teaching
center, Mrs. Thomas set forth the following conditions:
(1) A deed to the University of Nevada of the entire ranch,
reserving a life estate unto herself of her personal
residence, guest house, pool and garage, so that upon
her death the University will have the latter area.
(2) On conveying the deed to the University of Nevada Board
of Regents, it is agreed that the University will not
sell, convey, nor dispose of the ranch during Mrs.
Thomas' lifetime. If conditions arise after her death
whereby property becomes a burden to the University,
authority will be vested in the Board of Regents to
dispose of this property based upon such recommendation
by the College of Agriculture, with the proceeds of
such a sale dedicated in perpetuity on behalf of the
College of Agriculture.
(3) The University will establish a plaque within the
College of Agriculture setting forth the gift from
Mrs. Thomas in memory of her parents.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
unanimously that the Board accept the offer of the gift from
Mrs. Helen Marye Thomas under the conditions as set forth
above.
6. NSU Student Activity Building Budget
Mr. Humphrey reviewed the budget for NSU Student Activity
building and requested, based on Chancellor Moyer's recom-
mendation, that $7,500 be transferred from contingency to
construction to provide for modification of partitions on
the second floor and changes on the first floor of the
Activity building to provide for additional office space
and security control.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the request for transfer of $7,500 from
the contingency fund to the construction be approved.
7. Progress Report on U. S. 395
Mr. Pine presented a progress report on the negotiation
between the University and the State Highway Department
concerning U. S. 395. No action was requested at this time.
8. Proposed Botanical Garden
Vice President Mordy presented a request from the Horticul-
tural Society for permission to locate the Botanical Garden
in the area surrounding the Water Resources building and the
Fleischmann Atmospherium-Planetarium. Professor Mordy
presented a map which reflected a 12-acre area which the
Horticultural Society would like to use for the garden area
and indicated that they are now requesting formal approval
of the Board of Regents of the designation of this area for
that purpose so that planning can be commenced.
It was pointed out in the discussion that there is a possi-
bility that at some future date some area would be dedicated
to a building site and necessitate removal of part of the
gardens. It was considered wise that the Botanical Garden
group, if granted permission to plant as requested, be
notified of this possibility.
Motion by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried without
dissent that Board approve this request in principle with
the following provisions: (1) No structures be erected on
site without prior specific approval by the Board; (2) Any
area may be reclaimed on 90 days notice; (3) Attorney Gen-
eral to submit final document for approval by both groups.

13. Authorization of Funds for Schematics for Basic Medical
Sciences Building
President Armstrong reviewed for the Board their previous
action in authorizing the Administration to negotiate a
contract with Welton Beckett & Associates and Simpson and
Putnam for architectural services on the Animal Research
Facility and Medical School building contemplated to be
sited adjacent to Washoe Medical Center, and their earlier
approval in February, 1967 of the expenditure of $4,800
(made available by loan from Capital Improvement Fee Fund,
Reno) for the preliminary drawings for the Animal Science'
Research Facility portion of this project. Mr. Humphrey had
developed a contract and recommended it be executed by the
President after:
(1) Approval by the Board of Regents of proposed program
(123,000 sq. ft. building) upon which the architects
will develop schematics; and
(2) Approval by the Board of Regents of the transfer from
any appropriate source or sources of $35,000 which will
guarantee payment of the architects for development of
schematics should the project be abandoned or substan-
tially delayed at that point.
Under the terms of the contract, architects would collect
10% of their total fee upon completion of the schematics, or
between $30,000 and $34,400 plus any premium paid for labor
overtime during development of schematics and certain reim-
bursables. Mr. Humphrey estimated that the $4,000 already
made available would be sufficient to cover the premium work
and the reimbursables, and recommended that a maximum of
$35,000 additional be made available.
Dr. Anderson pointed out that approximately $10,000 in gifts
has been received by the University toward planning phase
of the Medical School and recommended the Board authorize a
loan of up to $25,000 from the Capital Improvement Fee Fund
to be used with the gift money to pay for cost of drawing
schematics for the basic Medical Sciences building.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried by roll
call vote that the Board authorize the use of up to $25,000
to be made available by a loan from the Capital Improvement
Fee Fund, Reno, for development of schematics; that the
Administration be authorized to define the scope of the
program at the discretion of the President, the Chancellor,
and Dean of the Medical School and the College of Agricul-
ture, and that the total expenditure not exceed $39,000.
Mr. Jacobsen's motion also included authorization for the
Administration to finalize the agreement with the archi-
tectural firms of Welton Beckett & Associates and Simpson
and Putnam.
Mr. Hug asked that a specific request be made to the Presi-
dent, the Chancellor and the two Deans to carefully review
the scope that is given to the architects to make sure that
it is within the capability of the University to fund.
Mr. Ronzone stated that in his opinion the architects were
charging too much for the preparation of schematics. How-
ever, Mr. Humphrey pointed out that this was a standard
charge for the size and cost of the project under consid-
eration. Dr. Miller also emphasized that this was a maximum
program under discussion and should funds not be adequate
the size of the project should be cut back.
Mr. Bell stated that in reference to the Hughes gift, there
has been no change in the status except that the documents
have been returned from Houston and are now in Las Vegas
and have been assigned priority status.
14. Approval of Check Registers
President Armstrong presented, with his recommendation for
approval, the check registers as submitted by Vice President
Humphrey.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
by roll call vote that the check registers be approved as
submitted.
15. Architectural Competition for Chemistry Building, NSU
Mr. Pine reported back to the Board that the State Planning
Board is in agreement that Dr. Robert B. Smith is an
appropriate representative for the Board of Regents on the
Selection Committee. Mr. Pine pointed out that Dr. Smith
will serve with William E. Hancock, James D. Mc Daniel, and
Ralph Casazza, with the 5th member to be selected, probably
an architect employed by University of California System.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without
dissent that Mr. Louis E. Demonte be recommended as the 5th
member of the Committee.

GENERAL AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
Armstrong, Judith E. A. A. in Nursing
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above candidates be approved for
graduation and the appropriate degrees conferred.
Dr. Anderson noted that several news stories had appeared
recently with names of graduates for Nevada Southern prior
to approval by the Regents. He requested that henceforth
no release be made to the news media of names of graduates
until the list of such graduates had been formally approved
by the Board.
17. Report on Reorganization Study
President Armstrong reviewed for the Regents the action of
the Committee which had been appointed to collect and trans-
mit material to the Board on various methods of University
administration, and presented to the Board the following
report from the Committee:
REPORT OF AD HOC COMMITTEE ON UNIVERSITY REORGANIZATION
The Ad Hoc Committee on University Reorganization at its
second meeting on August 14, 1967 agreed the most useful
method of transmitting the requested information on various
methods of University organization to the Board of Regents
would be to follow the outline of classification of major
types of University coordination as set forth in The Campus
and The State, Malcolm Moos and Frances E. Rourke, 1959, in
Chapter IX, The Quest for Coordination. A summary of this
chapter has already been submitted to members of the Board
of Regents, but additional copies are attached to this
report for ready reference.
Using this outline the Committee presents examples of each
type of coordination, the chief characteristics and modifi-
cations of each type, and the conditions which would exist
if the type were applied to the State of Nevada.
I. Legislative or Executive Coordination
"Actually there is no such thing as a completely
uncoordinated system of higher education. In those
states where there is no control coordinating board
for higher education, their Legislature, and to some
extent, the Governor, serve as centers of coordina-
tion; they do this mainly through budgetary proce-
dures. In some places there is partial coordination
whereby the State Colleges are governed by a central
board (often the State Board of Education) while the
State University and Land Grant College have separate
and independent governing bodies."
This system has been in operation in such states as
Alabama, Maine, Maryland, Massachusettes, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska and New Hamphsire, but in the eyes
of administrative reformers these arrangements do not
constitute a genuine system of coordination. Coordi-
nation today is thought of primarily in terms of an
all-inclusive Statewide system.
If this pattern were applied to the State of Nevada,
the following set of conditions would exist:
1. Each institution would have its own separate Board
of Regents.
2. Each institution would have its own President,
reporting to its separate Board.
3. No attempt at coordination or prior consultation
on programs and budgets would take place.
4. Separate presentations of program and budgets
would be made to the Governor's office and
defended before the Legislature.
II. Voluntary Cooperation
Some "states maintain some arrangement for archieving
a measure of cooperation among the schools". Some are
quite inactive, apparently an annual meeting of
Presidents or something similar. Other states have
loaned staffs (or funded separately) which devote time
to assembling and analyzing cost and enrollment data.
Frequently these coordinating councils are regarded as
a "facade designed to give the appearance of coordina-
tion without disturbing vested education interests".
Examples of voluntary cooperation are found in Ohio
and Indiana. Also, the pattern of organization in the
State of Utah comes close to being like the voluntary
cooperation as described here. In essence, this
involves the concept of an advisory coordinating
council among the Universities of the State.
If this pattern were adopted in the State of Nevada
the following conditions would obtain:
1. Two separate Boards of Regents would exist - one
for each institution.
2. Each institution would have its own President,
reporting to its separate Board.
3. There would be a coordinating council or board,
perhaps somewhat like the present Committee on
Higher Education Planning. This group would
concern itself with planning, data collection,
and probably would have a staff to work both with
it and with the separate Boards of Regents.
4. Each institution would make its separate presenta-
tion to the Governor's office and defend its
budget before the Legislature.
III. Consolidation
"One of the least employed but potentially drastic
means of coordination is the outright consolidation
of several institutions into one University." Best
known examples are the University of North Carolina
(N. C. State College at Raleigh, Women's College at
Greensboro, Chapel Hill Campus U. N. C.) and Texas
A & M System (A & M plus 3 smaller Colleges).
"It has been suggested that the University of Cali-
fornia is virtually a consolidated system, although
the units of the system are technically considered
as branches of the University and now as separate
institutions.
"The incorporation of several institutions under a
single name - as U. of N. C. - does not change the
fact that separate Campuses still exist and are
administered by resident executive officers."
Another example of this pattern of organization in the
material which the Committee has studied is that rep-
resented by the Southern Illinois University System.
It has been suggested that the present organization of
the University of Nevada is an example of the consoli-
dation concept. While in some respects, it is true,
the basic concept of consolidation involves the weld-
ing of several existing institutions into one Univer-
sity usually by legislative action. On the other
hand, the University of Nevada System has evolved by
internal growth rather than by consolidation, hence
the present organization of the University makes it
quite similar to the pattern found in another type,
namely the Central Governing Board. (See IV, follow-
ing.)
The chief characteristics of consolidated University
organization are:
1. A single board which serves in a governing-operat-
ing capacity.
2. A chief University executive in a line capacity
between the chief Campus officers and governing
board.
3. A tendency toward uniform policy through central-
ized administration.
4. Possibility of a loss of initiative and respon-
siveness in the individual institutions.
There are, of course, many modifications of this
concept, as for example, in the University of Calif-
ornia where as Campus units have multiplied there has
been a reversal of tendencies mentioned above, thus
resulting in increased decentralization, and develop-
ment more in the direction of the central governing
board type.
Application of the consolidated concept to the State
of Nevada has been described and a proposal presented
to the Committee by Professor Richard Sill, a copy of
which is attached.
Under the consolidated pattern of organization there
is a single presentation to the Governor's office and
to the Legislature, program development involves fac-
ulty equally on all Campuses, and a single President
is chief administrative office for all Campuses.
IV. The Central Governing Board
"Eleven states have unified all institutions of higher
education under the direction of a single Board of
Regents exercising direct authority over each school.
No intermediary governing boards stand between the
central board and the Campus administrators. High
praise for the central governing board comes from
states which have employed the system for a number of
years. But in states where central boards have been
proposed as a reform for existing decentralized
systems, there has been considerable resistance to
this change.
"By presenting an integrated budgetary request to the
Legislature, the central board substantially dimin-
ishes harmful fighting among the competing institu-
tions. It is claimed that the single board permits
a more rational allocation of resources among the
institutions without sacrificing the distinctive
features of each institution.
"Opponents of the central governing board contend that
a single board for several institutions is incapable
of given attention to each institution.
"It does appear that in centralized systems without a
strong chief executive, where the central office
serves more as a clearing house than an executive
agency, the institutional Presidents are the actual
leaders in the formation of policy; indeed, this may
be the merit of the system.
"Yet, on balance there is little evidence that the
central governing systems have harmed the individual-
ity of educational institutions, or that they have
played favorites with certain Colleges. Nor do their
administrative procedures appear to be much more cum-
bersome than those of individual governing boards.
Some of the central boards, in fact, are careful to
decentralize many administrative functions to the
separate institutions in order to give them latitude."
Good examples of this pattern in the materials which
the Committee has studied are the Oregon State and the
University of California System as it now operates.
In these two Systems, of course, there is a chief
University administrative officer, President or
Chancellor, who serves in a line relationship between
the governing board and the chief Campus officers.
In this respect, therefore, the present organization
of the University of Nevada fits that aspect of the
pattern of central governing board organization.
Other examples of this kind of organization include
State University Systems in Arizona, Florida, Georgia,
Iowa, Kansas and some others.
The chief characteristics of the central governing
board organization are as follows:
1. A single board which serves in a governing-
coordinating role.
2. In some cases, no chief University administrative
layer between the board and the chief Campus
officers; chief Campus officers report directly
to the board.
3. In such instances the board employs a staff
officer to act in an advisory-liaison-information
capacity and to assist in the general coordination
of the various entities of the University System.
This board officer serves in a staff relationship
to the chief Campus officers and may perform
solely fiscal functions (as in the Arizona System)
or may have academic orientation as well.
4. Can encourage the tendency toward coordinated
diversity within a system format by placing empha-
sis on the Campus as the basic unit in the system.
Certain modified characteristics of this system would
involve the introduction of individual Campus advisory
boards whose efforts (along with those of the chief
Campus officers) are coordinated under a single state-
wide governing-coordinating board. The New York State
system seems to be an example of this modified form,
although here too there is a chief administrative
officer (Chancellor) of the entire system.
Application to Nevada of the central governing board
system as exemplified by Arizona (rather than the
Oregon pattern, which is very similar to the present
University of Nevada System) would necessitate:
1. The elimination of the office of President of the
University as such.
2. The appointment of a staff officer or Executive
Director of the board who would serve in a staff
capacity.
3. Establishment of a direct line relationship
between the chief Campus officers and the Board
of Regents.
The crux of this pattern of organization would lie
in the role and function of Executive Director or
staff officer. In any case, he would not have
direct authority over the chief Campus officers
and his orientation might be solely fiscal (as in
Arizona), or his role might involve academic as
well as fiscal qualifications.
V. The Master Board
"The Master Board differs from the central govern-
ing board in one essential respect: it does not
replace the regular institutional governing boards,
but is established and given separate identity as a
coordinating body to deal with areas of policy which
require a statewide approach, such as finance. The
governing boards themselves retain control over in-
ternal policies of institutions of higher education."
Examples of the Master Board concept are found in
Illinois, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, Virginia and
Wisconsin.
The chief characteristics of the Master Board organi-
zation are:
1. Separate governing board for individual Campus,
with a chief Campus officer responsible to the
Campus governing board.
2. A statewide Master Board for the coordination
of the separate Campus boards into a State System
with certain limitations on the overall authority
of the Master Board.
3. Tends to emphasize local Campus autonomy with the
Master Board serving to integrate the separate
Campuses into a coordinated statewide system.
Application of this pattern to the State of Nevada
would involve the following:
1. Creation of separate Campus boards for Reno and
Las Vegas Campuses.
2. Restructuring of the present Statewide Board
into a Master Board with a coordinating role,
primarily in Finance.
3. Elimination of office of President of the Uni-
versity, and appointment of a staff officer or
Executive Director for the Master Board.
Conclusion
It is apparent that there is no ideal model of coordinated
University organization, and that within the 5 major types
discussed above there is considerable variation, with many
modifications and differences of detail, and in some cases
overlapping between the categories. Yet it does seem that
the most easily and readily applicable of the system to the
State of Nevada would be the Central Governing Board, es-
pecially in view of the fact that the University of Nevada
is presently operating under one variation of this concept,
which primarily involves the function of the Office of the
President.
The other variation of this system to which the University
might move would thus involve primarily the elimination of
the office of President as such, the placing of the chief
body, and the appointment of an Executive Director or staff
officer of the Board of Regents, with fiscal or academic
qualifications or both, who would serve in an advisory
capacity to the Board and a staff relationship to the chief
Campus officers.

Charles J. Armstrong,
Chairman
In the discussion following the presentation of the Commit-
tee report, Mr. Hug suggested additional service might be
rendered by the Committee in analyzing advantages and dis-
advantages of central governing board concept of University
administration. However, President Armstrong suggested that
because of the composition of the Committee, this service
might be better provided by the consultants with whom the
Board will meet in October. President Armstrong then re-
viewed for the Board the particular consultants with whom
he had corresponded and asked for suggestions from the
Board as to the maximum and minimum number desirable.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried with-
out dissent that the maximum number of consultants be held
to five with a minimum of three.
President Armstrong informed the Board of a recent request
from the Executive Board of Reno Campus Senate concerning
the distribution to the faculty of all materials collected
by the Ad Hoc Committee, and recommended that such materials
be made available for distribution by the respective Senate
Chairmen.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Smith, carried without
dissent that the request of the Executive Board of the Reno
Campus Faculty Senate be approved and all material be made
available for distribution to both Campus facilities.
President Armstrong also transmitted to the Board the fol-
lowing action by the Nevada Southern University Faculty:
At a general faculty meeting at 10 A.M., Tuesday, September
6, 1967, the faculty of Nevada Southern University took
action on three motions which are herewith forwarded to you
for the appropriate processing:
1. Dr. Richard Byrns moved that the Nevada Southern Univer-
sity faculty go on record as expressing confidence in
leadership of Chancellor Donald C. Moyer and so inform
the Board of Regents of the University. Mr. Christian
Dolin seconded the motion and it passed with a vote of
125 in favor, no one opposed, and five abstentions by
new members of the faculty.
2. Mrs. Felicia Campbell moved that the Nevada Southern
University faculty recommend to the Board of Regents
that the office of the President be removed from the
organization of the System, thereby enabling the Chan-
cellor of each Campus to be the chief administrative
officer reporting directly to the Board of Regents.
Dr. Eugene Dawson seconded the motion and it passed by
a vote of 125 in favor, no one opposed, and five ab-
stentions by new faculty members.
3. Dr. John Starr moved that the Nevada Southern University
faculty recommend to the Board of Regents that the re-
sponsibility and authority for finances for each Campus
of the University be assumed by the respective Chancel-
lors. James Deacon seconded the motion and it passed by
a vote of 117 in favor, 4 nays and 9 abstentions by new
members of the faculty.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Smith, carried
without dissent that the above policy be approved.
18. Damage Deposit Refund Policy Statement
In response to a request to develop a policy covering the
refund of the residence hall damage deposit approved for NSU
at the meeting of August 11, 1967, Chancellor Moyer submit-
ted the following:
It is recommended that the following points be considered
for incorporation into the operational policy of the housing
deposit.
1. A twenty-five dollar deposit would be received with the
housing application. This deposit would be held until
the student's final termination of on-Campus living.
The deposit would serve a two-fold purpose. At the out-
set, the deposit would show a student's "good faith"
when making a room reservation. Secondly, the held
deposit would be used to defray repair costs which arise
from damages above normal wear and tear.
2. Damage charges would be assessed from two major
categories.
a. General Public Areas - Damage occurring in public
areas such as elevators, main lounge, etc., would be
charged against all residents; i. e., damage repair
cost divided by number of residents in the residence
hall.
b. Specific Areas - Damage occurring in specific areas
such as floor corridors, floor lounges, etc., would
be charged to occupants of that floor or area on it;
i. e., damage repair cost divided by number of
residents of particular floor or area where damage
occurred.
3. The housing office would maintain a general journal of
all expenses and charge assessments. All accounts would
be adjusted at the end of each semester. An exact
accounting of any individual's deposit balance would be
available at any time.
4. The unused balance of individual deposits will be re-
funded annually. A new deposit of $25 will be required
of all residence hall occupants.
Note: Any damage that can be traced directly to an individ-
ual or individuals will be charged on a regular basis
separate from the $25 deposit fee.
Motion by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried with-
out dissent that the above policy be approved.
19. Recommendations from NSU Land Development Foundation
Chancellor Moyer presented excerpts from the minutes of the
Board of Trustees of the NSU Land Foundation meeting of
September 8, in which the Trustees voted to:
(1) Recommend to the Board of Regents that Mr. Robert Maheu
be named as a member of the Nevada Southern University
Land Foundation Board of Trustees to fill one of two
vacant seats created by expansion of the Board to 15
members and that Mr. Del Webb be named to the second
vacancy. In the event that Mr. Webb cannot accept the
appointment, the Trustees recommended to the Board the
name of Mr. Howard James.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, car-
ried without dissent that the recommendations of the
Trustees be approved and that the above named gentle-
men be invited to serve as members of the Board of
Trustees of the Nevada Southern University Land Founda-
tion.
(2) Recommend to the Board of Regents that $734,000 appro-
priation by the 1967 Legislature be used to purchase
Land Parcels #23 at a cost of $556,372, #5 at a cost
of $110,000, and #6 at a cost of $85,818; for a total
cost of $752,190; and that the $18,190 difference
between the appropriation and the total cost of the
three parcels be realized through a discount for paying
off parcel #23, or that #23 be divided in such a way
that title to the number of acres equal to the exact
amount of funds appropriated might be transferred to
Nevada Southern University.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, car-
ried without dissent that the recommendations of the
Board of Trustees be approved and the State Planning
Board be advised of the University's recommendations
on land purchases.
20. Consulting Agreement with Davis-Mac Connel-Ralston Corp.
The Board reviewed a proposed agreement between Nevada
Southern and the Davis-Mac Connel-Ralston Corporation for
consulting and planning work to be accomplished at NSU
during the next four months.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried with-
out dissent that the proposed agreement be approved as sub-
mitted.
21. Proposed Seminar on Educational Television
To accommodate a request by the Chairman of the Board for
Regents to attend and participate in a proposed seminar on
Educational Television, it was moved by Mrs. Magee, seconded
by Mr. Jacobsen, that the seminar be scheduled for either
Friday, November 10 or Saturday, November 11, depending on
the convenience of the other participants and the regular
Board meeting be held on whichever the day not chosen for
the seminar.
22. Transfer of Funds
Mr. Humphrey recommended the $6,850.22 be transferred from
the David Russell Loan Fund to provide the required 1/9
matching portion for the Nursing Program Loan, Reno Campus
($5,800) and for the National Defense Student Loan Program,
Reno Campus ($56,652). Mr. Humphrey also recommended that
$4,777.77 be transferred from the David Russell Loan Fund to
provide the required 1/9 matching portion for the National
Defense Student Loan Program at NSU ($43,000) and $1,350
be transferred from the Garvey Rhodes Loan Fund to provide
the 1/9 matching portion for the Nursing Program Loans at
NSU ($12,150).
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Bell, carried without
dissent that the above transfers of funds be approved.
23. Report of Development Committee Meeting of September 8, 1967
Mr. Ronzone reported briefly that the Development Committee
had met September 8 to develop some preliminary guidelines
for the Development Program. Mr. Ronzone introduced Mr.
Finehout who indicated that a full written report would be
available to the Committee and to the Board at its meeting
in October which would set forth the progress of the
Development Program.
24. Resignation of Mr. Arthur M. Smith, Jr.
Dr. Anderson informed the Board of Mr. Smith's resignation
from the Board of Regents on Monday, September 11, 1967,
because of his impending move to the Reno area. Dr. Ander-
son thanked Mr. Smith for his service to the Board and
wished him well in his new position as President of First
National Bank. Mr. Smith spoke of his service on the
Board and indicated that although his tenure had been
short, he had enjoyed it very much and offered his services
to the University in any capacity in the future.
The meeting adjourned at 3:20 P.M.
