President Zorn recommended acceptance of the bid of
American Addressing, San Diego for the purchase of an
American Type Foundry Press for the total price of
$6,225.00. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Mr. Bilbray asked about the specifications for this
bid, stating that he had received a complaint from
Addressograph-Multigraph, in Las Vegas, that the
specifications were written in such a matter as to
preclude bids from that firm or their Las Vegas firms
being considered.
Mr. Mc Dermott stated that he had also been contacted
concerning this matter, but after inquiry to the Busi-
ness Manager, had satisfied himself that the specifica-
tions were in order and the bidding procedure was
appropriate.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval of the bid as recommended.
Motion seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried without
dissent.
B. President Zorn reported that bids were opened December
20, 1971 for the purchase of equipment for the Physics
Department. 17 items were bid; in many cases only one
bid was received.

President Zorn recommended that on all items where a
single bid was received that bid be approved; on items
where more than one bid was received, the low bid be
approved in each case except for Item #16. He explain-
ed that Item #16 is a Mark-Time Generator and the low
bid by Hewlett-Packard did not meet specifications in
that it had a more limited range of measurement. Pres-
ident Zorn recommended the bid of Tektronix, Inc. be
accepted. He further explained that Items #11, 12 and
13 were not recommended for award because the costs
were more than anticipated and a reevaluation of speci-
fications on the equipment is in process. The total
cost of the purchase recommended was $12,652.12 and
funding is available from the Supplemental Equipment
appropriation. Chancellor Humphrey concurred in the
above recommendation.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc
Dermott, carried without dissent.

by the National Advisory Board to the Desert Research Insti-
tute following its meeting in Reno on November 19-20, 1971.
Report was included with the agenda and is filed with per-
manent minutes identified as Ref. 9. A list of the member-
ship of the Board was attached. Chancellor Humphrey recom-
mended that the report be accepted.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval. Motion was seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
10. Ad Hoc Committee to Study DRI
Chancellor Humphrey reported that in February, 1970, the
Board approved a recommendation by the Coordinating Council
that a committee be established for the "...further study
of the role and relationship of the DRI in the total Uni-
versity System. Such a study shall be made with no pre-
conceived notions as to the role and relationship of the
units involved."
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the final report of the ad
hoc committee was presented to the Coordinating Council on
December 16, 1971, at which time the Council voted to accept
the report with communication to the ad hoc committee. He
also noted that the report was included with the agenda for
the information of the Board of Regents (report filed with
permanent minutes, identified as Ref. 10). No action was
requested of the Board of Regents and none was taken con-
cerning the report.
11. Quarterly Report Concerning Disciplinary Cases, DRI
As required by the Rules and Disciplinary Procedures for
Members of the University Community, "President Ward filed
a report for the period ending October 1, 1971 (report
identified as Ref. 11 and filed with permanent minutes).
12. Proposed Salary Schedule, Part-Time Instructors, CCD
President Donnelly presented a salary schedule for part-
time Instructors for 1972-73 and recommended its approval
by the Board (schedule identified as Ref. 12B and filed
with permanent minutes). Chancellor Humphrey concurred
in the recommendation.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss
Thompson, carried without dissent.
Discussion resumed on #10, Ad Hoc Committee to Study DRI
Dr. Anderson expressed some concern about the language con-
tained in the report of the ad hoc committee, particularly
paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3, pointing out that in his opinion
it reflected a tendency on the part of the faculty to ig-
nore the legitimate interest in the University by the
people in the State. He expressed further concern that
this report might be misunderstood as expressing official
University policy.
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the history of the establish-
ment of the committee, noting that because a number of
faculty wished to examine the way the DRI was administered
and the relationship between DRI and the University, this
committee was requested. Since its establishment was ap-
proved by the Board, it was considered appropriate that
the report be presented for the Board's information. He
pointed out that the report is considered internal to the
Coordinating Council, but if the Board wished to consider
the report as an action item, he would prefer that the
committee be present and the officers be in a position to
make recommendations.
No further action was taken on the report except to note for
the record that the report was not to be considered a report
by DRI.
13. Request for Increase in Fee, UNR
President Miller presented, with his endorsement, a request
from the Office of Student Affairs that the fee for re-
activation of a placement file for alumni be increased from
$1 to $3, effective immediately. Chancellor Humphrey recom-
mended approval, subject to confirmation that the Phase II
regulations of the Wage and Price Freeze will permit such
an increase.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Steninger, carried without dissent.
14. Consolidation of Major and Options within Managerial
Sciences, UNR
President Miller endorsed a recommendation of the faculty
and Dean of the College of Business Administration for the
elimination of the existing majors under the Managerial
Sciences Department (Finance, Management and Marketing --
together with the 16 options currently shown) and replac-
ing them with one major: Managerial Sciences. Further
details of the proposed consolidation were contained in
a memorandum from Dean Weems (identified as Ref. 16 and
filed with permanent minutes). Chancellor Humphrey recom-
mended approval.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss
Thompson, carried without dissent.
15. Proposal for Study of Year Round Operation
Mr. Bilbray requested that some attention be given to a
year round operation of both Universities and the feasi-
bility of 3-year degrees.
Following discussion of the proposal, it was agreed that if
action is to be requested of the Administration to conduct
such a study, an appropriate motion should be developed for
introduction at the next meeting and one which would provide
that this matter be referred to the Educational Policies
Committee.
16. Clark County Community College Site
President Donnelly introduced Mr. Clay Lynch, Mr. Boyd
Bulloch and Assemblyman Dave Branch, from the City of
North Las Vegas, and read the following letter dated
January 13, 1972:
In reply to your correspondence of December 20, the
City of North Las Vegas has made the appropriate
arrangements to convey the:
West 1/2 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 12,
Township 21 South, Range 60 East
to the Community College for your development program.
The appropriate documents will be forwarded as soon
as possible. At the same time the City of North Las
Vegas has accepted a grant of $100,000 as the federal
share of the first phase of the development of a 40-
acre park immediately adjacent to this site.
The proposed site has distinct advantages over any
other location previously explored. Direct access by
a 6-lane boulevard from a major interchange of the
freeway is approximately 1/2 mile away which will
make the service of this Community College available
to any area of the County. The development of hous-
ing subdivisions and the adjacent park facility en-
hances the desirability of this site so far as any
elements of environment and setting are concerned.
All utilities are immediately available to the
property.
We appreciate the fact that you have determined the
best location for the first Community College in
Southern Nevada and assure you of our full cooperation.
The letter was signed by Major Gene Echols and Councilmen
Waite, Cieland, Gray and Williams of North Las Vegas.
President Donnelly reported that the Clark County Community
College Advisory Board had recommended acceptance of the
offer of the above 80 acres and he added his endorsement
to the recommendation for acceptance of the gift and desig-
nation of the site as the location for the Clark County
Community College. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
17. Application to the Bureau of Land Management
President Donnelly recommended that the Board authorize an
application to the Bureau of Land Management for 90+ acres
near the intersection of Charleston and Jones in Las Vegas
as a possible future site for a Community College. Chancel-
lor Humphrey recommended approval.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
18. Nominations for Architects for CCD Projects
President Donnelly recalled that the agreement with the
State Planning Board provides that the University will
nominate at least two architects, in preferential order,
one of which will then be selected by the State Planning
Board for the specific project. He made the following
recommendations for nomination of architects for the 3
Community College projects which will be funded by Higher
Education Capital Construction Fund monies available on
July 1, 1972:
Elko Community College
1. Mr. Hewitt Wells
2. Mr. Arne Purhonen
Clark County Community Center
1. Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall
2. Jack Miller & Associates
Western Nevada Community College
1. R. A. Casazza
2. Raymond Hellman
3. Thomas Wall
President Donnelly further recommended that the firm of
Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall be selected as the
architects to do the master planning of Western Nevada
and Clark County Community Colleges.
Mr. Morris moved approval of the recommendation that Mr.
Hewitt Wells and Mr. Arne Purhonen be nominated to the
State Planning Board as architects for the ECC project.
Motion seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried without dissent.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved that the selection of a master plan-
ner for the WNCC and CCCC Campuses be referred to the Plant
and Property Committee, a time for a special meeting of
this Committee be set and the recommendation of the Commit-
tee be referred to the February meeting. Motion seconded
by Dr. Lombardi, carried with Mr. Bilbray opposing.
19. Money for Architects Fees to be Advanced
President Donnelly and Chancellor Humphrey recommended that
the Administration be authorized to advance from the Board
of Regents Special Projects Fund the necessary money for
architects fees for the ECC project, and for the CCCC and
WNCC projects when the architects are selected, with the
understanding that all monies advanced will be repaid July
1, 1972 from the Higher Education Capital Construction Fund.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Bilbray, carried without dissent.
20. Tentative Time Schedules and Budgets for CCD Projects
A tentative time schedule and budget for each of the 3 CCD
projects was submitted with the agenda for information
(identified as Ref. 14F and filed with permanent minutes).
Mr. Steninger expressed concern over a proposed October
starting date for construction of the ECC building and
moved that the Board of Regents express itself as desir-
ing that the second building at Elko be started in July.
Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried without dissent.
21. Site for Second ECC Building
President Donnelly reported that concern has been expressed
related to legislative authorization for a second building
at ECC and noted that an opinion is being requested from
the Attorney General. A recommendation for the location of
that second building will be made at a later date.
22. Site for WNCC Building
President Donnelly reported that a public meeting is sched-
uled for January 21, 1972 in Carson City, after which a
recommendation will be made for the location of the WNCC
building to be funded by the Higher Education Capital
Construction Fund.
He also reported that a recommendation concerning the
designation of the 200 acre parcel of land which has been
offered by the State in the Carson City area will be made
following the completion of a geological survey now being
done by Dean Scheid of the Mackay School of Mines, but
which has been delayed because of the snow cover.
23. Albert and Emily Hilliard Chair in Humanities, UNR
President Miller recommended that the bequest of Mrs. Emily
Hilliard to UNR be used to establish the Albert and Emily
Hilliard Memorial Fund Chair in the Humanities. He sug-
gested that the Chair be filled on a temporary and perhaps
part-time basis by a distinguished person in the Humanities
who would present a graduate seminar and a series of public
lectures. The public lectures would, under normal circum-
stances be published and be part of a series in the Humani-
ties, to be initiated and funded from the Hilliard bequest.
He noted that the income from the bequest would not make it
possible to fill the Chair on a permanent basis with a dis-
tinguished person, so the expectation is that it would be
filled either on the One Semester or Summer Basis in most
years or perhaps on a part-time basis for a longer period
of time. (Additional details of the proposal are contained
in Ref. 17 filed with permanent minutes.) Chancellor
Humphrey recommended approval.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc
Dermott, carried without dissent.
24. Cornerstone, Health Science Building
President Miller recommended that the Grand Lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons be requested to place the cornerstone
of the Health Science building on Saturday, April 8, 1972
at 1:30 P.M. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc
Dermott, carried without dissent.
25. Offer to Purchase University Land
President Miller reported that the City of Reno has sub-
mitted an offer to purchase, for $2900, 1.375 acres of land
situated in the southwest corner of the Main Station Farm
to be used for an extension of Rock Boulevard to connect
with Boynton Lane. The land is unused in the present farm-
ing process.
President Miller and Chancellor Humphrey recommended that
the offer be accepted and the proceeds be used in develop-
ing the College of Agriculture program on the Main Station
Farm.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Bilbray, carried without dissent.

accelerator. 5 bids and 2 alternates were received as
follows:
Kerex Corp., Burlingame $ 6,965.00
Kerex Corp., (alternate) 7,761.00
Ortec, Inc., Oak Ridge, Tn. 7,620.00
Nuclear Semiconductor, Menlo Park, Ca. 8,855.50
Nuclear Semiconductor, (alternate) 9,452.50

concurred.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc
Dermott, carried without dissent.
C. Mr. Pine reported that bids were opened December 17,
1971 for the purchase of a nuclear magnetic resonance
spectrometer for the Chemistry Department. This instru-
ment is used primarily to detect hydrogen atoms in a
molecule. It can be used for certain other atoms as
well, such as fluorine and phosphorus. This instru-
ment is useful in structure determination and in meas-
uring chemical reaction rates. It is a nondestructive
analytical tool; i. e., the sample remains intact dur-
ing analysis.
Bids were received from 3 firms on new equipment and
2 firms on used equipment, as follows:
Joel, Inc., Burlingame, Ca. (used) $28,300.00
Perkin-Elmer Corp., Norwalt, Ct. (new) 30,400.00
Varian Assoc., Los Altos, Ca. (used) 33,510.00
Varian Assoc. (new) 49,550.00
Joel, Inc. (new) 69,700.00
President Miller recommended the bid of Joel, Inc. for a
used spectrometer in the amount of $28,300 be accepted.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Anderson, carried without dissent.
D. Mr. Pine reported that bids were opened January 3,
1972 for printing of the 1972-73 UNR Catalogs.
Levinson-Mc Nally Co., Sparks $22,973.60
A. Carlisle & Co., Reno 23,072.40
American Collegiate Press, Dallas 22,300.00
Cal-Central Press, Sacramento 24,746.50
A. B. Hirschfeld Press, Inc., Denver 27,960.50
Express Printing, Sparks 30,888.00
Peninsula Lithograph, Menlo Park 31,135.60
Wallace Press, Hillside, Il. 31,924.60
Mr. Pine noted that the Levinson-Mc Nally bid with the
5% in-state preference would be equivalent to a bid of
$21,824.92, which is below the low bid of American
Collegiate Press, Dallas.
President Miller recommended award of the bid to
Levinson-Mc Nally Co. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Mc Dermott, carried without dissent.
E. Mr. Pine reported than an emergency purchase order was
placed on December 20, 1971 with E. C. Cooley Company
for a heat exchanger to be used in Lincoln Hall.
Quotations were received as follows:
Bell & Gossett, 10-week delivery $ 5,717.00
E. C. Cooley, 5-week delivery 6,640.00
Ace Tank & Heater Co., 5-week delivery 7,126.00
Mr. Pine explained that one of the two boilers at
Lincoln Hall failed. This heating system provides
heat and hot water to White Pine and to Lincoln Hall.
The system is now being operated with one boiler and
a portable tank car heater which requires checking
every hour, thus leaving the Central Heat Plant unat-
tended for a period each hour during the nighttime
hours. It is impossible to supply the total amount of
heat for complete comfort during the present cold peri-
od. Installation of the heat exchanger will eliminate
the boiler plant at Lincoln Hall and the total heat
load will then come from the Central Plant.
President Miller recommended confirmation of the emer-
gency purchase from E. C. Cooley. Funds are available
in the Building and Grounds Operating account. Chan-
celler Humphrey concurred.
Dr. Anderson moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs.
Knudtsen, carried without dissent.
F. Mr. Pine reported that bids were opened January 13,
1972 for the purchase of 200 tons of whole barley to
be used for the experimental feeding of calves at the
Main Station Farm at an estimated cost of $10,800.
The bids were higher than anticipated and the item
will be rebid on 50 ton lots (approximately one month
usage).
27. Purchase Deferred from December Meeting
Mr. Pine recalled that in December bids were reported on
furniture for the Physics Department but several items
were not awarded so that there would be an opportunity
to physically inspect the furniture. The inspection has
been made and the following bids are ready for award:

Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs.
Knudtsen, carried without dissent.
Following adjournment for lunch, Mr. Steninger announced that the
Plant and Property Committee would meet at 9:00 A.M. on Friday,
January 21, 1972 in the Western Nevada Community College build-
ing in Carson City. It was agreed that the Committee would dis-
cuss recommendations for selection of a master planner for the
two Community College Campuses, including discussion and inter-
view of at least 3 architects, and would also consider recom-
mendations to the Board of Regents of the architects to be
nominated to the State Planning Board for the WNCC and CCCC
buildings which have been funded.
28. Progress of University Projects
A report from the Vice President for Business was included
with the agenda and contained a status report of all
Buildings and Grounds projects now underway at UNR. A
report from the State Planning Board on the status of
capital improvement projects under the supervision of the
agency was also distributed. (Both reports are on file
in the Chancellor's Office.)
29. Resolution by Nevada State Medical Association House of
Delegates
President Miller presented a resolution which had been
unanimously adopted by the Nevada State Medical Associa-
tion House of Delegates, as follows:
BE IT RESOLVED, that the House of Delegates of NSMA
send an official letter of commendation to George
Smith, M. D., Dean of the School of Medical Sciences,
University of Nevada, for the highly successful and
competent manner in which he and his staff have ac-
complished the Herculean task of having the School
of Medicine reach fruition.
30. Extension of Lease
President Miller noted that the U. S. Navy and U. S. Marine
Corps presently occupy a facility on Evans Avenue on land
leased from the University. Their new facility under con-
struction at Stead will not be complete until September,
1972; however, the present lease with the University expires
June 30, 1972. The Department of the Navy has requested a
month-to-month extension of the present lease. President
Miller and Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Anderson, carried wthout dissent.
31. Security Disclaimer
Chancellor Humphrey recommended adoption of the following
resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-1
BE IT RESOLVED that Clark J. Guild, Jr., who is a
citizen of the United States will not require, nor
will have, and can be effectively denied, access to
classified information in the possession of the or-
ganization, the organization's policies or practices
in the performance of contracts for the Government.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Anderson, carried without dissent.
32. Responsibility for Graduate Programs in Education
Mrs. Knudtsen stated that she had requested that there be
discussion at this meeting, and reference for further
study, of the advisability of making the UNR and UNLV
Colleges of Education responsible for graduate work in
those Colleges and removing the responsibility from the
jurisdiction of the Graduate Deans.
Following discussion by the Regents and comments by Pres-
ident Miller and President Zorn, Dr. Anderson moved that
this matter be referred to the Administration and the
Educational Policies Committee for study and that gradu-
ate programs in all of the Colleges be included in the
study. Motion seconded by Mr. Guild, carried without
dissent. It was agreed that a report would be made back
to the Board of Regents at its April Meeting.
33. Revision of Board of Regents Handbook
Chancellor Humphrey noted that a new Chapter 14 of Title
4 of the Board of Regents Handbook has been developed to
include current policy statements on financial aids for
students. No attempt has been made to develop new policy
or to revise existing policy. He recommended that the
Board reaffirm the policy reflected in Ref. 26 (filed
with permanent minutes) with the understanding that
several areas have been identified where amendment to
existing policy is desirable and recommendations for such
amendments will come back to the Board after review by
faculty and students where appropriate, and after further
review and discussion by the Chancellor's Advisory Cabinet.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Anderson, carried without dissent.
34. Amendment of By-Laws
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that at the December meeting
a proposal was made that the By-Laws of the Board be
amended to provide for the conduct of Executive Sessions.
Accordingly, a suggested amendment was mailed to the
Board on December 23 and included with the agenda for
discussion. (Identified as Ref. 27 and filed with the
permanent minutes.) Chancellor Humphrey noted that an
addition was suggested by the Advisory Cabinet to change
the first sentence to read "...only the Secretary to the
Board, Counsel, the Officers of the University, and
others by invitation of the Board, shall be present."
Mr. Steninger moved that the third sentence be amended to
read: "Officers of the University will take such action
as is required to effect the Board's decision." and that
all the following text be deleted. Motion seconded by
Mr. Guild.
Mr. Hug suggested for clarification that the second sentence
be amended to read: "Minutes of action taken, but not
deliberations, in such meetings, will be kept but shall
not be made public."
Mr. Hug's amendment was accepted.
Mr. Bilbray moved to table for one month and substitute
amendment be drafted. Motion seconded by Mr. Morris,
carried without dissent.
35. Final Plans, ECC Instructional Building
President Donnelly introduced Mr. Hewitt Wells who presented
the final plans for the ECC Instructional building. A sum-
mary of the project was distributed with the agenda (identi-
fied as Ref. 13 and filed with permanent minutes).
Dr. Lombardi moved approval of the final plans as presented.
Motion seconded by Mr. Morris, carried without dissent.
36. Estimative Budgets for 1972 Summer Session
Chancellor Humphrey presented the budget requests for UNR,
UNLV and CCD for the 1972 Summer Sessions. (Requests
identified as Ref. 28 and filed with permanent minutes.)
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the UNR Budget Request
included a $1 increase in the per credit fee (from $23
to $24 per credit) which he stated was endorsed by both
President Miller and himself. Chancellor Humphrey recom-
mended approval of the Estimative Budget Requests.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Steninger, carried without dissent.
37. Progress Report on University Code
Chancellor Humphrey reported that sufficient copies of the
latest draft of the University Code have been provided all
Divisions for distribution to all faculty. Requests have
been made for a greater period of time for faculty review.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that it has been his under-
standing that the April meeting would be a reasonable time
for presentation to the Board of Regents and asked the
Presidents and the Faculty Senate Chairmen to comment if
there was exception to this schedule. No exception was
taken. It was understood that Faculty Senates may wish
to present alternative proposals at the April meeting.
38. Bequest of Mrs. Dorothe Macmillan
Chancellor Humphrey reported that the will of Mrs. Dorothe
Macmillan, deceased, provides that the residual part of
her estate be given "...to the University of Nevada in
memory of (her) husgand, Gordon Macmillan, to be used to
establish a School of Veterinary Medicine, and in the
event that the University of Nevada does not establish
such a School within 5 years of the date of (her) death,
my trustee shall distribute the rest, residue and remain-
der of my estate to the School of Veterinary Medicine,
University of California, Davis ...".
Mr. Humphrey noted that Mrs. Macmillan died October 25,
1971; therefore, the University has until October 25, 1976
to establish a School of Veterinary Medicine to receive
the bequest which is presently estimated at $500,000. He
recommended that Presidents Miller and Zorn be requested
to consider the feasibility of establishing such a School
on their respective Campuses and that their separate
reports be presented at the same time but not later than
January, 1973.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Anderson, carried without dissent.
39. Report on Declaratory Judgment Complaint
Mr. Hug reported that a declaratory judgment complaint had
been filed against First National Bank of Nevada, as
trustee, Stanford University, University of California,
Davis, and University of Nevada System, by Elidia Casteneda,
a beneficiary under the will of Mrs. Macmillan. Mr. Hug
noted that in discussing the matter with the University of
California's attorney, a suggestion was made that he, as
Counsel for the University of Nevada, represent both Nevada
and California.
Mr. Morris moved that the Board authorize Mr. Hug to also
represent the University of California in the above matter,
should the University of California so request. Motion
seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried without dissent.
40. Higher Education Capital Construction Fund
Chancellor Humphrey presented the following report and
recommendations concerning this fund:
Chapter 118, Statutes of Nevada, 1971, establishes
the Higher Education Capital Construction Fund, pro-
vides for its funding at $5 million per year and
specifies 3 Community College projects totaling
$3,938,000 to be constructed out of the first year's
allocation. The Act also provides as follows: "Unless
specifically directed by an Act of the Legislature
concerning the Higher Education Capital Construction
Fund, the Board of Regents of the University of Nevada
shall determine the order of priority and the needs of
the University of Nevada System with respect to expendi-
tures of available monies in the Higher Education
Capital Construction Fund." On July 1, 1972, there
will, therefore, be $1,062,000 in this fund which may
be used as directed by the Board of Regents.
The Board approved a 1971-73 Capital Improvement Pro-
gram for submission to the Governor and Legislature
which included 18 projects to be funded by appropri-
ation or bonds. (Attachment A showing a list of
projects and legislative action was included with
agenda, for UNR, totaling $1,804,000 to be funded
from the UNR Capital Improvement Fee Fund reserve
was allocated to fund the UNR P. E. Complex.)
In developing a recommendation for the use of the
$1,062,000 I have consulted the Presidents and reviewed
the Board-approved 1971-73 Capital Improvement Program.
President Zorn has requested $883,218 for a modifica-
tion of UNS Priority Number 11, the UNLV Natatorium.
(Attachment B, reflecting President Zorn's request and
a budget for the project, was included with the agenda
identified as Pgs. 4 & 5 of Ref. 12.) President Miller
has submitted a series of projects in priority order,
totalling $1,540,000. (President Miller's list, At-
tachment C, was included with the agenda, identified
as Pgs. 6 & 7 of Ref. 32.)
I believe that we should endeavor to use this $1,062,000
to accomplish needed projects on the existing priority
lists and to improve our position in presenting projects
for 1973-75. I also believe that we should seek to
secure equitable treatment among the Divisions and units
of the System in this once only windfall of unexpected
funds.
I recommend the following projects be authorized:
UNLV Land Acquisition from Nevada Southern
Foundation $ 470,000
UNR Priorities 1 & 2 from Attachment C 400,000
UNS and CCD Administration Building
($328,000 requested 1971-73) 192,000
$1,062,000
This would allow UNLV to pay the mortgage bonds due
July 1, 1972, assuming that the outstanding receivable
are collected by that time. (Attachment D showing work
sheet concerning this project was included with the
agenda, identified as Pg. 8 of Ref. 32.) It would
also provide several much needed projects for UNR which
could not be given consideration earlier due to the
change in funding for the Gymnasium. And, finally, it
would provide at least minimal space for the UNS and
CCD administrative offices by the time of the expira-
tion of the present lease.
When a draft of this memorandum was discussed with the
Chancellor's Advisory Cabinet, President Zorn stated
that he would prefer to have additional money for Campus
landscaping projects and wait until 1973 to settle
accounts with the NSU Land Foundation. If this course
is followed, it is recommended that $435,000 be allocat-
ed to both UNR and UNLV.
(Ref. 32 referred to above is filed with permanent minutes.)
Chancellor Humphrey also noted the recommendations received
from Mr. William Hancock, State Planning Board (identified
as Ref. 32B and filed with permanent minutes).
Mr. Jacobsen asked for comments from the Presidents. Mr.
Bilbray suggested that first a vote be taken to determine
if the Natatorium was to be funded.
Mr. Morris referred to Page 3 of Ref. 32 which reflected a
comparison of the Capital Improvement Program request for
1971-73 to the subsequent legislative action. He noted
that of the first 10 items on the list, all but one had
been either funded or partially funded by the legislative
appropriation or through allocation from the Higher Educa-
tion Capital Construction Fund or through revenue bonds.
The one not funded was #2, the Peavine Flood Control
project. He noted that the next priority on the list is
#11, the UNLV Natatorium for $1,335,000. He pointed out
that President Zorn has indicated that this remains the
number one priority for UNLV and that he had indicated
that here would be savings associated with bidding the
Natatorium at the same time as the P. E. Complex is bid.
Mr. Morris urged that the Board stick with the priorities
which have been established and not place itself in a
position of having to go back to the Legislature for fund-
ing of a project which this money could take care of.
Chancellor Humphrey pointed out that, as indicated in his
recommendation, there are two priority lists -- in addi-
tion to the items on the list to which Mr. Morris referred,
there is a second Board approved list of 9 projects,
totalling $1,804,000 to be funded from the UNR Capital
Improvement Fee Fund reserve. He recalled that in the
subsequent negotiations with the Legislature, in an at-
tempt to get both physical education projects through,
the Board agreed to withdraw the request for appropriated
money for the UNR project so it would not compete with the
UNLV request. The UNR project was then reduced in scope
sufficient to be funded exclusively by UNR revenue bonds.
As a result of that decision, all of the 9 projects which
were to be funded by that reserve were sacrificed. Chan-
cellor Humphrey stated that he therefore believed it equi-
table that at least part of the projects on that separate
list be restored. He agreed that a 50-50 split is arbi-
trary but pointed out that sufficient argument might be
made for spending the entire $1,062,000 at UNR or at UNLV,
or at either of the two other Divisions. However, he said
it seemed a reasonable compromise to try to take care of
the most urgent projects on each Campus to the extent
possible to be a fair and reasonable division of the funds.
President Miller pointed out that the Peavine Flood Control
project, #2 on the 1971-73 list, was a cooperative govern-
mental project in which the University was required to
participate and which has since been abandoned. He sup-
ported Chancellor Humphrey's earlier comments regarding the
separate list of priorities which were to be funded from
UNR's Capital Improvement Fee monies. President Miller
recalled that when the request for a State appropriation
for the UNR P. E. Complex was withdrawn, and the Capital
Improvement Fee money used for revenue bonds for that
project, that in effect sacrificed a Board approved pri-
ority list.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval of an allocation of $883,218
to UNLV for construction of a Natatorium. Motion seconded
by Mr. Morris.
Miss Thompson expressed some confusion over the difference
in the present request of $883,218 and the original re-
quest to the Legislature of $1,338,000. President Zorn
stated that there had been a reassessment by the architect
and it is believed that the revised estimate of $883,218
will not only take care of the construction but all of the
other costs such as the architect and other professional
fees.
Mr. Jacobsen urged that in a sense of fair play it did not
seem appropriate for one Division to insist on having such
a large portion of the total amount available when the
needs of the other Division were just as acute.
Mr. Steninger expressed a preference for following the
priority list but asked the Chancellor to clarify the re-
lationship of the second priority list.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that in retrospect, he must
conclude that a mistake had been made in having two lists.
He explained that one list was approved for those projects
for which the Legislature was requested to make an appro-
priation or to authorize a revenue bond issue. A second
list was prepared, also approved by the Board, of projects
which were proposed for funding from the UNR Capital Im-
provement Fee Fund reserve, and which were also approved
by the Legislature. This second list was submitted to the
Legislature, not for funding, but in order to honor a com-
mitment that major projects funded from Capital Improvement
Fee monies would go to them for review.
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in the final days of the
Legislature, it appeared that both P. E. Complexes would
be endangered unless one were withdrawn. At Mr. Morris'
suggestion, President Miller agreed to withdraw the UNR
request and at the same time requested authority to use
the existing Capital Improvement Fee money to service a
revenue bond for the UNR project. The UNLV project was
then funded by the Legislature. Having proceeded in this
manner, Chancellor Humphrey suggested that both lists
should be considered.
Mr. Bilbray amended his motion to provide that the balance
of $178,782 be allocated to UNR to apply to its priority
list. Mr. Morris agreed to the amendment.
Mr. Bilbray commented that the next item on the priority
list was #11, the UNLV Natatorium, and argued that the pri-
ority list must be followed.
Mr. Guild asked for an explanation of the Board's obliga-
tion to the UNLV Land Foundation.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that the Land Foundation secur-
ed its funds by the sale of mortgage bonds. These are
favorable bonds, he noted, at 5% interest and the holders
have informally agreed that there would be an automatic
extension of those bonds. The bonds are due July 1, 1972.
Mr. Guild asked if the interest payments have been made.
President Zorn stated that interest payments have been
made when due. Chancellor Humphrey explained that the
interest was capitalized in the original issue.
Mr. Guild noted that the University apparently has a legal
commitment for approximately $460,000 to the bond holders
and asked if the informal promise to extend the bonds could
be obtained in writing. President Zorn noted that the
Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Foundation are also
President and Vice President of the bank which holds the
bonds, and both were present at a meeting of the Founda-
tion at which the assurance was given.
President Zorn also noted that the Foundation was of ex-
treme use to the University and cautioned that nothing
be done to restrict its maneuverability for a land ex-
change. He suggested that this was a bad time to buy
land from the Foundation. He added that, with the assur-
ance of the bond holder that the issues may be refinanced
against the same security, it would be better to keep the
bonds alive and keep liquidity in the Foundation.
Chancellor Humphrey asked for clarification, pointing out
that buying land from the Foundation would increase their
ability to borrow money, not decrease it.
Mr. Guild asked how long President Zorn would estimate this
obligation could be deferred. He pointed out that the
money is owed and no proposal has been made for its pay-
ment.
President Zorn stated that there is an understanding that
new bonds will replace the old bonds with the same land
as security.
Mr. Bilbray stated that UNLV has some land which might
eventually be sold and which could satisfy this obliga-
tion. He suggested that the University should not worry
about paying off the Land Foundation; rather, it should
be concerned about receiving capital improvements that
are much more important to the Campus than a piece of
land that can be paid off in two years.
Mr. Guild expressed continuing concern about the lack of
documentation which would support the statements that the
University could continue to defer a legal obligation which,
he stated, was felt sufficiently pressing to request fund-
ing from the Legislature in 1971.
Mr. Bilbray agreed that the Board has a legal obligation,
but stated that Mr. Parry Thomas and Mr. Jerome Mack have
both given verbal assurance that the bonds will not be
called when due.
Mr. Mc Dermott stated that in his opinion Mr. Guild's
question was valid and suggested that an attempt to made
to reach Mr. Thomas or Mr. Mack and get the necessary
assurance in writing.
Mr. Morris pointed out that in the opinion of the UNLV
Administration and of the members of the Board of Regents
who, he said, have been privy to the representations which
President Zorn has reported, there is no question about
the obligation of the Foundation; i. e., that it is a low
priority item. He stated that the Foundation recognized
that it is not good business for the University to spend
money to retire these obligations simply because they
exist. He suggested again that the priority list be
followed.
Mr. Jacobsen pointed out that the No. 1 priority on the
list which Mr. Morris referred to is the land acquisition
for UNLV.
President Miller recalled that he had agreed to withdraw
the UNR P. E. Complex from the request to the Legislature
and had agreed to use Capital Improvement Fee money for
revenue bonds. In doing that, he pointed out, the fund-
ing for the second Board approved priority list was no
longer available. He requested that the Board restore at
least part of the funding by allocation of $435,000 of
the slot machine tax money to UNR, leaving an equal amount
to UNLV.
Dr. Anderson suggested that this approach was equitable,
pointing out that UNR had relinquished $1.5 million in
capital improvements so as not to complete with UNLV's
request for a State appropriation and suggested that this
should be considered a higher priority than the Natatorium.
Mr. Bilbray restated his motion to allocate $883,218 to
the UNLV Natatorium and the balance of $178,782 to the
UNR capital improvement list submitted with Ref. 32, and
requested a roll call vote:
Yes - Mr. Bilbray, Mr. Grant, Mr. Mc Dermott, Mr.
Morris, Miss Thompson, Mr. Steninger
No - Dr. Anderson, Mr. Guild, Mr. Jacobsen, Mrs.
Knudtsen, Dr. Lombardi
Motion was declared to have carried.
