The Board of Regents has recently received an informal
opinion from the Office of the Attorney General that
meetings of the Board, except for personnel meetings,
shall be open to the public and Press but that Commit-
tee meetings, which each involve only some members of
the Board, and at which no final Board action can be
taken (only recommendations to the Board can be develop-
ed), may be open or closed at the discretion of the
Board.
Even though this is the case the Board members desire
to bring information concerning the activities, oper-
ation and policies of the Universities more directly
and fully to the public.
In order to accomplish this, it is my recommendation
to the Board that all Committee meetings of the Board
of Regents, except those of the Administrative and
Personnel Committee, shall ordinarily be open to at-
tendance by the public and the Press.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
unanimously that the Committee meetings of the Board of

Committee, ordinarily be open to the public and Press.

Federal Government. Mr. Humphrey explained that for the
Spring semester, 1967, we are requesting $2,000 for the
Nurses Program and $65,000 for NDSL; therefore, $222.22 is
required for the Nursing Program and $7,222.22 for NDSL.
Mr. Humphrey recommended that $7,444.44 be transferred from
1-51-7002, Alice Dimmitt, E. I., for this purpose.
MOTION by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without
dissent that the above fund transfer be approved.
Under the same conditions, Mr. Humphrey explained that NSU
requests $5,967.82 for the Nurses Program and $23,645.33
for NDSL; therefore, $663,09 is required for the Nurses Pro-
gram and $2,627.25 for NSDL. Mr. Humphrey recommended that
$3,290.34 be transferred from 1-61-5001, David Russell Loan

President Armstrong recommended that the following transfer
of funds be approved:

Southern University to Chancellor's Discretionary
Fund, Nevada Southern University. The Chancellor
Installation Gifts account is now inactive and this
transfer will close the account.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
unanimously that the above fund transfer be approved.
President Armstrong recommended that the following transfers
of more than $2,000 be approved by the Board:
#151 $10,104 from various classified salary accounts to the
classified salary accounts with a deficit and the
Contingency Reserve. These figures represent classi-
fied salary savings for 1966-67. Attached is a list
of accounts effected.

July, 1966 (transfer #21) $3,000 was transferred from
the Postage account to Miscellaneous, N. O. C. to
provide necessary funds to pay water taxes and miscel-
laneous charges. This transfer reimburses the Postage
account and provides needed funds for 1966-67 in that
account.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the above fund transfers be approved.
President Armstrong also reported the following transfers of
less than $2,000:

Board for the 1967-69 period, made the following statement
as his charge to the members of the Board and the Adminis-
tration:
"It seems imperative that we, as soon as possible, hold
discussions on long range intent planning for both Campuses
to prevent expensive and wasteful duplication of staff,
equipment and faculty for proposed programs that might de-
velop simultaneously on both Campuses where they would only
in the foreseeable future be realized on one. I wish to
request now that the Regents and the Administration, includ-
ing the President, the Chancellors, the Director of DRI, and
others, bring consideration and discussion of such long
range planning to the next meeting of the Board, together
with some specific suggestions for Board consideration."
The meeting adjourned at 12:00 noon.
