5. Ladino Dairy
President Armstrong read the proposal on sale procedure of
the Ladino Dairy, submitted by Regent Crumley in accord with
his assignment, as follows:
PROPOSED METHOD OF SALE OF LADINO FARM
(1) Notice of sale to be published in the local newspapers
for approximately four weeks.
(2) Notice will include time and place for opening of bids.
Each bid to include a certified check for a minimum of
10% of the bid figure.
(3) The published notice to include information to the
effect that at the time of the bid opening, all bidders
present may have the privilege of raising their bids at
5% "levels". In effect, this would result in more or
less of an auction immediately following the bid open-
ings.
(4) The property then to be sold to the highest bidder,
provided such bid is acceptable to the Boad of Regents.
In this connection, the published notice of sale would
stipulate that the Board of Regents reserves the right
to reject any and all bids.
It is my opinion that we should sell the Ladino Farm proper-
ty in one piece, and not as separate smaller parcels. It
would further be my recommendation that we require a minimum
of $100,000 down, 7% on the remaining unpaid balance, to be
amortized over a period of five to seven years.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that the report be accepted and the procedure
outlined followed, pending study and approval by the
Attorney General.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously that Mr. Crumley be given a vote of thanks for
his work on the Ladino Dairy sale project.
6. Wiche Report
Dr. Armstrong reported as Chairman of the Nevada Commission.
Governor Sawyer appointed Dr. Anderson of the Board of
Regents, Dr. John Morrison of the Department of English, and
President Armstrong to serve as the Nevada Commissioners.
The Commissioners reviewed applications and certified six
candidates in medicine; three have been accepted and three
are pending. Citizens' Advisory Committees of three members
each have been selected for the areas of medicine, dentistry
and veterinary medicine.
The re-payment provision in the State Law has discouraged
some applicants, and two applicants withdrew upon learning
of the re-payment regulations. While the Commissioners
favor elimination of this re-payment provision, legislation
will not be sought at the coming session because of the fact
that the Law has not been in operation long enough to give
it a fair trial.
7. Bid Opening - Revenue Bond Certificates
It was now 10 A.M., PST, the time set and duly advertised
for opening of bids for public sale of the University of
Nevada Housing Revenue Certificates of 1959, in the princi-
ple amount of $1,382,000.00, for construction of a men's
dormitory, housing for married students and faculty, and a
dining hall. Room 205, Morrill Hall, was declared to be
the President's Office for the purpose of the bid opening.
Comptroller Hayden checked at 10 A.M. his own Office, the
regular Office of the President and the U. S. mail for bids
which might have come in, and confirmed the fact that no
other bids had been received. The Government's bid sub-
mitted by Housing and Home Finance Agency was read by Presi-
dent Armstrong as follows:

the National Defense Resources Conference, Colonel Lloyd
Coutts of Washington, D. C., and Mr. A. E. Holgate, Reno
Membership Chairman. Colonel Coutts spoke for the group,
saying that the Conference in Reno would be held April 11-
22 of this year in the auditorium of the Education building
on the Campus. Purpose of the Conference is the education
and information of community leaders for participation in
a military-civilian team in times of National emergency.
The Regents indicated full cooperation by the University.
9. Cancer Symposium
Dr. Anderson called attention to the fact that the Uni-
versity had co-sponsored a Cancer Symposium in Reno in
March, 1959, and that it had proved to be a worthwhile
undertaking for the University. He now proposed that the
Nevada Southern Regional Division likewise co-sponsor with
the American Cancer Society a symposium soon to be held in
Las Vegas.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Elwell, carried
unanimously that the Nevada Southern Regional Division co-
sponsor the Cancer Symposium, already scheduled, but at no
cost to the University.

Mr. Germain discussed the bid opening for the building,
which was attended by Mr. Gibson, Mr. Miller and Mr. Bissell
of the State Planning Board, Mr. Grant and Mr. Germain of
the Board of Regents. There was a complication in that the
low bid exceeded the funds available by $24,990, but Mr.
Grant and Mr. Germain did not want to call for another bid
opening on the possibility that later bids might not be as
favorable. Mr. Bissell indicated that he would take a
telephone poll of the Planning Board members on the bids
submitted and notify the Board of Regents of the decision.

is within 70% of completion, Dining Hall within 60-65% of
completion, and the Men's Dormitory within 50% of comple-
tion. Dr. Armstrong noted that all are slightly behind
schedule. The Fine Arts building is approximately 75%
complete, and final completion may be a little later than
expected. Bids for Mackay School of Mines corrections were
opened and came within the construction budget. Agricul-
tural Mechanics Facility bids were opened and were well
under the amount estimated. Library bids were opened and
the bid was awarded to the next to lowest bidder for reasons
of licensing. Mr. Porter informed the Regents that he had
ruled that the State Planning Board was correct in awarding
the bid to Stolte Construction Company, rather than to
Nomellini, the lowest bidder.
13. Women's Dormitory
In accord with previous action of the Board of Regents, the
University has proceeded with arrangements for construction
of a Women's Dormitory. Adoption of the following resolu-
tion was recommended by President Armstrong to accompany the
application to HHFA.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Elwell, carried unani-
mously that the resolution be adopted as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 60-2
WHEREAS, Chapter 360, 1957 Statutes of Nevada, authorizes
the Boad of Regents of the University of Nevada to borrow
money and to issue and sell revenue certificates for the
construction of certain projects specified therein; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary, in furtherance of that endeavor,
to make application to the United States Government Housing
and Home Finance Agency for loan assistance under Title IV
of the Housing Act of 1950; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the Board of Regents of the University of
Nevada, that application for loan assistance be made to the
United States Government Housing and Home Finance Agency in

BOARD OF REGENTS OF
THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
14. Investment of Proceeds, 90,000 Acre and 72 Section Grants
President Armstrong reported on a letter dated November 3,
1959, written to State Treasurer Franks by the Attorney
General, and stating in summary: "The Board of Regents has
the power to invest and reinvest the funds that have been
derived from each of these Grants. This power is of con-
stitutional origin. The State Treasurer has the power and
duty to hold the funds and securities that have been derived
from each of these Grants. This power and duty is of leg-
islative origin." The informal decision was reached that
since the University cannot invest in other than bonds,
which is their present investment, there is no point in
having the funds turned over to the University. Deputy
Attorney General Porter will do further checking and make
later report.
15. Honorary Degrees
President Armstrong proposed that, before bringing specific
recommendations to the Board of Regents, a committee of the
Board be appointed to receive recommendations for Honorary
Degrees and for Distinguished Nevadan Awards.
Motion by Mr. Tyson, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried unani-
mously that the Chair be empowered to appoint a committee
of the Board of Regents to receive and study recommendations
for Honorary Degrees and for Distinguished Nevadan Awards,
prior to their consideration by the Board of Regents.
Vice Chairman Lombardi appointed the committee as follows:
Mr. Arnold, Chairman
Mr. Tyson
Dr. Anderson
Mr. Crumley
Dr. Lombardi
16. Student Loans
President Armstrong distributed and discussed an analysis
of student loans as of August 30, 1958 and October 30, 1959,
prepared by Mr. Hayden. The report gave the following
breakdown:
August 30, 1958 October 30, 1959
Number of Number of
Loans Amount Loans Amount
----- ---------- ----- ----------
Current 35 $ 9,252.30 117 $43,726.00

10 - 20 yrs. 20 1,635.80 19 1,270.00
Over 20 47 3,427.81 53 4,064.61
--- ---------- --- ----------
159 21,706.30 257 $61,794.43
There was some discussion as to loan collections, and legal
and moral obligations in regard to loans.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the President be authorized to take what-
ever action he might deem appropriate in collecting student
loans.
17. Momand Estate
President Armstrong read a report on the Estate of Agnes B.
Momand submitted by Breed, Abbott & Morgan under date of
December 3, 1959. The Estate is nearing closure and the
letter stated that "the present market value of all of the
assets which will eventually be payable to the University
is roughly $700,000". The Law Firm requested payment for
disbursements in the amount of $273.13, but preferred to
leave the matter of compensation open pending the closing of
the Estate after the final account. President Armstrong
recommended approval of payment at this time of the state-
ment for $273.13.
Motion by Mr. Elwell, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that payment be allowed on the statement for
disbursements in the amount of $273.13.
18. Whited Estate
President Armstrong reported on receipt of Decree of
Settlement of Thirteenth and Final Account of American
Trust Company as Trustee under the Will of Jesse M. Whited,
deceased. The Attorney for the Estate enclosed for signa-
ture copies of the form of receipt covering the property
ordered distributed to the University under the Decree of
Settlement.
Motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the Vice Chairman be authorized to sign
the receipt on behalf of the Board.
19. National Science Foundation Student Fee
Terms of the Grant for the National Science Foundation
Summer Institute require that stipend holders not be charged
tuition or fees. President Armstrong recommended that, in
keeping with terms of the Grant already accepted, Summer
session fees be waived for students participating in the
program.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that student Summer session fees be waived for
students participating in the National Science Foundation
Summer Institute for 1960.
20. Summer Sessions
President Armstrong presented the request of Dean Carlson,
with approval of Dr. Wood and his own recommendation, that
salaries for Summer session staff in Las Vegas, which is
now at the rate of $150.00 per credit, be brought into line
with salaries paid on the Reno Campus, by allowing the fol-
lowing base salary schedule:
Professor, Associate Professor $175.00 per credit
Assistant Professor, Instructor 150.00 per credit
Transportation allowance requested for those who are not
regular members of the staff would be not to exceed the
equivalent of round trip first-class air fare (less tax).
It was further recommended that an allowance be made to meet
the additional costs of living for this same group, not to
exceed $5.00 per day for the period beginning with the first
day of actual instruction through the last day of instruc-
tion covered by the contract. Flexibility in the granting
of transportation and per diem allowances was requested to
strengthen the position of the University of Nevada in
securing persons from out of State who would be desirable
additions to the Summer session staff. President Armstrong
recommended approval of these changes in Summer session
arrangements.
Dr. Wood spoke on behalf of the needs of the Reno Campus
Summer session and asked that they have the privilege of
using the same transportation and per diem allowances for
the Reno Campus. President Armstrong recommended that this
provision be included in any action by the Regents.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Elwell, carried
unanimously that the Summer Sessions recommendations above
be approved effective with the 1960 Summer sessions.
21. American College Testing Program
President Armstrong discussed the new A. C. T. Program for
prospective College students. The Program is intended to
take the place of most of the testing which the University
does during Orientation Week. The nominal expense of $3.00
is borne by the individual student. The request for the
University of Nevada to participate has been made by Dean
Basta of Student Affairs, and endorsed by the University
Council and the Academic Deans. President Armstrong recom-
mended approval for the University to become a participat-
ing member of the A. C. T. Program this year on a voluntary,
but recommended, basis, ultimately to become a requirement
for entrance if the preliminary experience with the Program
is satisfactory.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Elwell, carried
unanimously that the program be approved at this time on the
basis that the University request voluntary participation.
The meeting was recessed at 12:00 noon for luncheon.
The recessed meeting was called to order at 2:10 P.M. by Vice
Chairman Lombardi with all present who were at the morning
session.
22. Archie C. Grant Hall
The Regents discussed with Deputy Attorney General Porter
a proposal for naming a building on the Las Vegas Campus
for Chairman Grant, and received assurances that no dif-
ficulty would be involved, since the legislative intent was
that no one in public office should benefit in a pecuniary
way from any such action. In this case, the honor to Mr.
Grant would be for service rendered the University.
Motion by Mr. Elwell, seconded by Mr. Tyson, carried
unanimously that the new Education building on the Las
Vegas Campus be named the "Archie C. Grant Hall".
23. Athletic Finances
Mr. Tyson discussed the lack of funds for public relations,
recruiting and similar purposes in the Athletic Department.
In the discussion which followed, the question was raised
as to how much money, other than the student fee, gate and
concession receipts, went for support of Inter-Collegiate
Athletics, with the exception of salaries and maintenance
of plant. Mr. Germain suggested that the Regents' Athletic
Committee meet on the day before the next meeting of the
Board to consider the athletic financial situation. In the
meantime, a study will be made by the Comptroller's Office
to show source of income for Athletics and detail of expend-
iture.
24. Fleischmann Endowment
President Armstrong discussed the request of Dean Adams that
income from Standard Brands stock, which Mr. Fleischmann
gave to the University as an endowment for the Ladino Dairy
be kept separate from the total income from endowments. The
matter had been referred to Mr. Hayden for recommendation,
and Mr. Hayden recommended as follows:
"Since all our endowment funds are now pooled together
and being handled by the Trust Department of the First
National Bank, I strongly recommend to you that we do
not specifically earmark any income for any particular
purpose or fund, but distribute income on basis of the
percentage each fund bears to the total endowment
funds."
President Armstrong recommended that the principle stated
by Mr. Hayden be adopted in all cases except those in which
the donor specifies otherwise.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the income from the Fleischmann endowment
for support of agriculture be handled in accord with the
present practice, as recommended by Dr. Armstrong, and
that the present practice be affirmed and approved.
25. The Association of Higher Education
The Association of Higher Education will hold a national
conference on higher education in Chicago March 6-9. The
President urged that a member of the Board attend. Mr.
Germain was selected to represent the Board, and Mr. Arnold
was named alternate.
26. Social Security
The University Faculty Committee on Insurance, headed by
Dean Weems, proposed that the University endorse a letter
to the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, with
copies to the Nevada Congressional Delegation, asking sup-
port of Federal legislation which would permit particpation
of the Social Security Program by individuals who have par-
ticipated prior to coming to the University of Nevada, by
picking up their Social Security payments on the same basis
as self-employed persons.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the Board of Regents go on record as en-
dorsing the Federal legislation recommended above.
27. Radiological Laboratory
President Armstrong reported that a letter had been received
from W. H. Hoffman, Supervisory Realty Officer, Acquisition
and Disposal Field Office, General Services Administration,
and also a letter from John R. Mc Bride of the Southwestern
Radiological Health Facility, Las Vegas, stating the intent
of the Federal Government to leave a space in the projected
Science and Technology building, Southern Regional Division
of the University of Nevada, for the use of the Radiological
Laboratory in Las Vegas. This puts the University in posi-
tion to justify the request for funds from the Legislature
for the building.
28. Faculty Prizes
President Armstrong reported that three faculty members had
submitted papers under the Faculty Prize Awards Plan and
these papers were submitted to a Faculty Committee of Eval-
uation for the $1,000 Faculty Awards for study and recom-
mendation. The recommendation, submitted by Dr. Armstrong
with his recommendation for approval, was that Professor
Hoyt be granted one of the $1,000 awards, and that Profes-
sors Chase and Tucker be commended for their efforts, but
informed that their papers do not meet requirments for the
award as prescribed by the Board of Regents.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the Regents authorize granting one of the
$1,000 awards to Professor Hoyt, and that the remaining
money in the fund be held for further study in regard to the
Prize Awards plan.
29. Student Fees
A duplicated report and recommendations on Proposed Fee and
Tuition Changes was submitted to the President by Dr. Wood,
Chairman of the Fee Study Committee, and distributed to the
Regents for study and information. Dr. Wood spoke of the
work of his Committee, saying that the purpose of the
Committee was to see if there were any areas where fees
should be modified, changed or altered. Dr. Wood asked
that consideration be given at the present meeting of two
items to go into effect for the coming Summer session.
These recommendations were discussed and President Armstrong
recommended approval, as follows:
Present Proposed Amount & Per Cent
per Cr. per Cr. Proposed Increase
------- ------- -----------------
Summer Session Fee
------------------
Resident $10.00 $11.00 $1.00 10.0%
Non-Resident
(out-of-State) 12.00 15.00 3.00 25.0%
Auditor's Fee
------------------ 7.50 9.00 1.50 20.0%
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the fee changes above listed be approved,
effective June 1, 1960.
The President asked that each member of the Board study the
fee study recommendations for action at a later meeting.
30. Leaves of Absence and Related Matters
Mr. Arnold, Chairman of the Regents' Committee appointed to
study a Leaves of Absence policy, distributed copies of his
Committee's report. President Armstrong discussed the pro-
posed policy statement and recommended approval as follows:
Policy Statement on Leaves of Absence and Related Matters
for Faculty Members of the University of Nevada
A. Leaves of Absence without Salary
1. Authorization
Leave of Absence without salary may be granted by
the President, with the approval of the Board of
Regents, to a faculty member who wishes to absent
himself from his University duties to undertake
research work, advanced study, consultation, teacher
exchange, governmental appointments, etc. Approval
of the conditions under which the Leave is author-
ized shall be in writing and a copy given the appli-
cant.
2. Procedure
Request for Leave without salary is made through the
Department Chairman and Dean of the College, with
adequate advance notice. It is presumed that the
Leave can be arranged without seriously impairing
the work of the Department and that it will benefit
the University or the professional advancement of
the individual.
3. Restrictions
Leave without salary is granted only to a faculty
member who has been employed by the University for
at least one year. No Leave of Absence shall be
granted for a longer period than two years, except
for the purpose of pursuing activities which will
tend to further the education of such a person in
his special field. The faculty member is expected
to return to the University for a period of time
at least equal to that of his last contract.
B. Sabbatical Leave
(Note: In approving the following policy on Sabbatical
Leaves of Absence, the Board of Regents wishes to point
out that the rate of implementation of the Sabbatical
Leave policy will depend upon availability of funds.)
1. Eligibility
Any faculty member who has attained professorial or
equivalent rank (for example, assistant professor
or higher), and who has served full time (on eithr
a 10 or 12 months contract) for six or more salaried
years (including time at the instructor level) at
the University of Nevada is entitled to a Sabbatical
Leave. Time toward Sabbatical Leave is not cumula-
tive beyond six years, except when the University is
unable to grant a requested leave.
2. Options Available
Qualified applicants for Sabbatical Leave shall have
two alternatives: a full year of leave at 2/3 sal-
ary, or a half year at full salary. The taking of
Sabbatical Leave, of course, will in no way inter-
fere with the continuing employment of an individ-
ual by the University, or with his retirement pro-
gram, or any other rights normally associated with
his work at the University.
3. Procedure
3.1 Persons desiring Sabbatical Leave shall submit
their applications to the President through
their Department Chairman and Dean, in the Fall
semester of the year prior to the academic year
in which they desire the leave. Application
forms are available in the Central Personnel
Office.
3.2 The President may appoint a Sabbatical Leave
Committee to assist in selecting those to be
granted Sabbatical Leave. In making its recom-
mendations, the Committee should consider both
the seniority of the applicant and the merit of
the application.
(New) 3.3 In case a member of the Sabbatical Leave Com-
mittee shall desire Sabbatical Leave, his ap-
plication shall follow the procedure outlined
in paragraph 3.1 and shall not be referred to
the Committee.
3.4 Those who delay their applications one or more
years after they become eligible, and unsuc-
cessful candidates for Sabbatical Leave who re-
submit their application, will be assigned pri-
ority of consideration.
4. Obligations Upon Taking Sabbatical Leave
4.1 Upon completion of his Sabbatical Leave, the
faculty member must return to his University
duties for a period of time at least equal to
that of his last annual contract.
4.2 Additional outside income -- for example,
Grants-in-Aid or Fellowships -- may be accepted
during the Leave provided it contributes to the
individual's professional development or his
future usefulness to the University.
4.3 Acknowledgment of Sabbatical assistance should
be given in any publications resulting from
work accomplished during the Sabbatical year.
4.4 A written report concerning Sabbatical Leave
activities is to be sent to the President with
a copy to the Central Personnel Office.
C. Sick Leave, Extended Sick Leave, Emergency Leave, Health
Examinations and Related Matters
1.1 In cases of illness or accident among faculty mem-
bers, Leave, if necessary, shall be granted for 30
working days at full salary.
** 1.2 Where a physician certifies that the faculty member
is unable to resume his duties at the end of a Sick
Leave of 30 working days, the faculty member may,
with the approval of the President and the Board of
Regents, be granted Extended Sick Leave for a per-
iod not to exceed 12 months including the initial
30 working days of illness.
(New) 1.3 If, at the end of the 12 month period, a physician
certifies that the faculty member is still unable
to resume his duties, his appointment shall be ter-
minated. During the Extended salaried Sick Leave,
no Annual Leave shall be earned.
1.4 Short Emergency Leaves may be necessary in the
event of serious illness in the family, death or
similar emergencies. Such Leave will normally be
granted by the Dean.
1.5 Cases of injury or accident in connection with the
work of faculty members are covered by the regula-
tions of the Nevada Industrial Commission. In or-
der to assure this protection for out-of-State tra-
vel, requests should always be submitted in advance
by faculty members conducting University business,
attending meetings, etc., even if work is under-
taken outside of University hours and at the facul-
ty member's own expense.
1.6 Health insurance can be obtained at a group rate
without a physical examination, if applied for
within the first 30 days of service.
1.7 The University may authorize, at its own expense,
the University Physician to arrange for voluntary
health examinations for individual faculty members.
The services of the Infirmary are not available to
faculty except for emergency first aid of injuries
sustained on Campus.
D. Annual and Terminal Leave
** 1. Amount of Annual Leave Authorized
All faculty members on a 12-months appointment earn
salaried Leave at the rate of 22 working days for
each year of service. Earned leave is taken at a
time approved by the Dean of the College concerned.
A faculty member on a 12-months appointment may
accumulate Leave up to a maximum of 44 working days.
The Annual Leave allotment of faculty members with a
10-months appointment is given in the form of auth-
orized holidays and recesses within the academic
year.
** 2. Terminal Leave (Applies Only to 12-Months
Appointments)
Any staff member who, upon resignation, retirement
or other separation from the University, has earned
a vacation under the provisions of Annual Leave,
shall be credited with any portion of that Leave
earned but not taken at the time of separation. In
no case, however, may such terminal Leave exceed a
period of two calendar months (44 working days).
Faculty members who breach their contract will not
be entitled to any accumulated leave.
E. Military Leaves
1. University faculty members on 12-months work ap-
pointments who are active components of Federal
Reserve Forces or Nevada National Guard are en-
titled to serve under orders on training duty with-
out loss of regular compensation for a period not
to exceed 15 working days in any one calendar year.
Such Military Leave of Absence shall be in addition
to any Vacation or Sick Leave to which such staff
members might otherwise be entitled. Authorized
Military Leave of Absence without salary may be
granted for periods in excess of 15 working days.
Faculty members on Miliary Leave will be credited
with seniority and salary adjustments as though they
were in regular service, provided they have had one
year or more continuous service with the University
of Nevada.
2. In time of war or National emergency, a Leave with-
out pay may be granted if the faculty member is
drafted by Selective Service, is ordered to or vol-
unteers for active duty as a reservist, is called
or volunteers to serve in Federally-sponsored
scientific research and development, or is instruct-
ed by Selective Service to enter defense or alter-
native service work in lieu of military service;
provided that no Leaves may be granted to any staff
member who would not normally be re-employed at the
termination of the period of employment current at
the time of his entry into such service or defense
work; and provided further that no Leaves are ordin-
arily granted to persons employed on war projects
or an activity under government contract; the Leave
terminates one year following the end of the war or
comparable National emergency, or, if earlier, one
year following the date of the faculty member's
discharge, separation, or termination of service.
3. Faculty members applying for Military Leave must
present a copy of their military orders or other
substantial evidence. Certified copies of dis-
charge papers or other evidence must be submitted
to the Central Personnel Office for reinstatement.
F. Leave for Judicial Service
1. Appearance in connection with the justifiable pros-
ecution of legal matters is considered a Short-Term
Leave, if it is for periods less than 30 days, and
will be granted informally by the Administration
without loss of salary. In special cases, salaried
Leave for longer periods may be authorized by the
President and Board of Regents. Customarily, teach-
ing faculty are excused from jury duty. For other
service, such as expert witness testimony, it is
necessary to obtain permission in advance from the
President.
** Indicates some modification or revision has been made.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Tyson, carried unani-
mously that the policy statement be adopted, subject to
clearance by the Office of the Attorney General.
31. Southern California Alumni Meeting
Mr. Germain reported that Mr. Grant, Mr. Elwell and he at-
tended the recent meeting of the Southern California Alumni
and that it was very successful. Dr. Wood was the principal
speaker and told of the University's growth and future ex-
pansion. Mr. Germain commended all who participated and be-
lieved much good was done for the University.
The meeting adjourned at 3:35 P.M.
