REGENTS MEETING
January 7, 1933
The Board of Regents met in the Office of President Clark at 10
o'clock Saturday morning, January 7, 1933. There were present
Judge Brown, Chairman, Mr. Williams and Dr. Olmsted. Absent:
Mr. Wingfield and Mr. Ross.
Mr. Puett of the Highway Engineer's Office appeared before the

The minutes of the December 3rd meeting were approved by the

Dr. Olmsted Aye
The President recommended the adoption of the following plan
which had been worked out by Dean Stewart of the College of Agri-
culture for the handling of courses in Poultry and Dairying for
the year 1933-34, it being desired to try out this arrangement
for a 2-year period with the thought that it may, if satisfactory
then become a permament arrangement:
a. That C. J. Thornton be elected Instructor in Poultry Husband-
ry beginning with the Fall of next year to teach one course
each semester at a stipend of $200 per semester, together
with not to exceed $25 per semester for transportation of
students, and $100 per year ($50 per semester) for use of his
plant's poultry and equipment. It is understood that for
this sum Mr. Thornton will also add to his flocks turkeys,
so that our students may study two types of birds, both good
income producers in Nevada.
b. That G. Ernest Brooks be elected Instructor in Dairy Husband-
ry to give two courses each semester at a stipend of $400
per semester, together with not to exceed $50 per semester
for student transportation, he agreeing to accept 5 1/2 cents
mileage, and with understanding that $100 per semester is to
be paid to the Brooks and Peckham Model Dairy Farm (Rewana
Farm) for the use of the Model Dairy stock and equipment in
connection with these courses. It is understood that a herd
of Guernseys will be added to the present Holstein herd so
that students may be assured the study of two main dairy
types of cattle.

President Clark presented the offer of the Labor Union painters
and carpenters to cooperate in every possible way with the Uni-
versity in the employment of labor under the Reconstruction Fi-
nance Corporation Unemployment Funds to the end that both cheaper
labor and materials might be available and that several months of
credit may be secured in connection with each bill for materials.
Mr. Williams moved, first that the Board authorize the President,
working with Superintendent Lynch, to have repair and improvement
jobs done on the Campus in connection with this proffer of free
labor and lower priced materials at a total expenditure of ma-
terials and equipment not to exceed $1000 and, second, that the
President may in this connection authorize Superintendent Lynch
to have the popular trees on the inner Quad removed. Vote:
