4. Matching Money, National Defense Student Loan Program
The University will receive an additional $48,804 from the

Program, making a total federal contribution of $94,916 for
fiscal 1963-64, which requires an additional $5,422.67 of
University money for the "Institutional Capital Contribu-
tion". Mr. Humphrey proposed, and Dr. Armstrong recommend-
ed that the Board authorize a transfer of $5,422.67 from
the Garvey Rhodes Loan Fund (61-5006) to the National
Defense Education Act Student Loan Fund (61-4001).
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-

ing the First National Bank of Nevada were Mr. R. O. Kwapil,

October 21, 1963, in which he reviewed certain low yield
growth stock as requested by the Committee September 20,
1963. He repeated his recommendation that these stocks
should be retained. After considerable discussion it was
agreed by the Committee that no stock would be sold at this
time.
It was agreed that a meeting would be called in January,
1964. Mr. Cord's office will advise Mr. Humphrey of Mr.
Cord's availability after January 6, 1964.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the minutes be accepted.
6. S. J. Hall Property
President Armstrong reviewed that more than a year ago, the
University received 30% of a parcel of land in Clark County
and later received an addition 40%, making a total of 70%.
The question has arisen as to whether or not to dispose of
the property. The matter was discussed, including a memo
from Mr. Humphrey that, being public property, if sale is
desired, it would have to be advertised for bids, and if
none were acceptable, it could then be negotiated. It was
agreed informally to postpone any action pending further
developments.
7. Main Station Farm Development Program
Dr. Armstrong distributed and discussed a summary from Dean
Bohmont of the accomplishments to date and modifications in
the plans for future development. This material has been
reviewed by Mr. Humphrey and in a memorandum of January 2,
1964, Mr. Humphrey stated that he had no adverse reactions
to Dean Bohmont's proposals, and in the same memorandum in-
dicated how these changes can be implemented.
The President recommended approval of the revised six-year
development plan, and approval of the necessary fund trans-
fers to accomplish the program.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the revised six-year
plan for development of the Main Station Field Laboratory
be approved.
8. Center for Western North American Studies
President Armstrong reviewed that at a previous meeting of
the Board, appointment of a committee consisting of faculty
and Regents was approved to study the possible development
of a Center for Western North American Studies. Represent-
atives of the Board were Regents Magee and Anderson. As a
result of that committee meeting, a report was submitted
to the President on a pilot project. An ad hoc Faculty
Board was then appointed to draw up a definite plan of oper-
ation and a budget. The report has now been received and
copies have been distributed to the Regents. President
Armstrong recommended approval of the report, setting forth
a plan of work and budget for the pilot project of the pro-
posed Center for Western North American Studies. The Pres-
ident further recommended that the sum of $10,000 necessary
to underwrite the support requested for the project be fund-
ed from the Board of Regents Special Projects Funds, and
that from this sum $8000 to $8500 be designated to under-
write the salary of a faculty position for a specialist in
Western History for the academic year 1964-65.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously by roll call vote that the recommendation, as pre-
sented, be approved.
In discussion, it was pointed out that the timing of this
project provides an excellent opportunity for it to be
brought to public attention through the Centennial Committee
coming as it does, in the State's Centennial Year.

11. Foreign Students
President Armstrong quoted the statement in the current
catalog (page 40) that all students residing in University
residence halls are required to eat at the University Din-
ing Commons. The Foreign Student Advisor in the Office of
Student Affairs had called attention to the difficulty this
regulation imposes on foreign students. Some cannot adjust
to the taste or type of food, others have religious dietary
requirements which cannot be met in the Dining Commons. The
result of the ruling is that foreign students tend to live
off-campus, which is expensive and which deprives them of
contacts with American students. Mr. Humphrey had been
asked to study the financial aspects of the situation and
reported that the University can grant the privilege to a
few students to live in the Dormitories and not eat in the
Dining Commons and still make the profit necessary to meet
all obligations. President Armstrong recommended that the
regulation (page 40 of the current catalog) item #1, be
changed to read:
1) All students residing in University residence halls,
except as here provided, are required to eat at the
University Dining Commons. Foreign students may, upon
the recommendation of the Dean of Student Affairs, re-
side in a residence hall without eating at the Dining
Commons. In such cases, a 25% premium shall be added
to the room charge.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that the change in regulation, as stated above, be
approved.
12. Building Committee Meeting, December 23, 1963
President Armstrong recommended approval of the minutes,
as follows, and of the actions involved:
The Building Committee met at 7:30 P.M. in the President's
Office.
Present were Committee members: Dr. Fred Anderson, Dr.
Louis E. Lombardi, Mr. Procter Hug, Jr. and Mr. Harold
Jacobsen. Also attending were Regent Molly Magee, Presi-
dent Charles J. Armstrong, Engineer James Rogers, Business
Manager Neil D. Humphrey, William Hancock, Manager of the
State Planning Board, Planning Board members C. V. Isbell
and Peter Echeverria, Messrs. Brown, Sharp and Hicks of
Brown Engineers and Architect William Mc Daniel.
Stadium - Reno
Chairman Anderson reviewed Board of Regents action of
December 7, 1963, which disapproved the preliminary plans
for the new Mackay Stadium and requested that additional
excavation be planned which would lower the Stadium floor
by 8 feet. He read a letter from William E. Hancock, Plan-
ning Board Manager, dated December 16, which reported that
the Planning Board had voted unanimously to "recommend to
the Regents Building Committee that they reconsider their
thoughts of lowering the Stadium 8 feet, and the Tennis
Courts remain as shown on the model." The letter also
stated "... if the Board of Regents, after reconsidering
this matter, still felt that the elevation should be dropped
8 feet, they would abide by the Regents' decision in this
matter after noting for the record they did not approve or
sanction this action." The Planning Board recommended im-
mediate action in order that the earth work contract can be
put to bid as soon as practical.
Mr. C. V. Isbell noted that he had agreed with the Board of
Regents' action.
Mr. John Webster Brown stated that by lowering the Stadium
8 feet approximately 1600 seats could be gained but noted
that more than 12,000 seats could be added in the north of
the Stadium at a later date. He said the top of the Stadium
was 300 feet across, hence an addition 8 feet of depth would
not gain protection from the wind. He noted that his recom-
mended elevation of the Stadium floor was 4.604 or only 4
feet higher than the Skidmore, Owings and Merrill Master
Plan specified.
After considerable discussion it was moved by Mr. Hug, sec-
onded by Dr. Lombardi, that: (1) the preliminary plans be
approved for the Stadium as prepared by Brown Engineers,
including elevations, location of Tennis Courts and Playing
Fields; (2) the decision as to location and specifications
of the training quarters and visiting team quarters be de-
layed until January 25, 1964; and (3) Brown Engineers be
instructed to further cut the grade between the parking lot
and the Stadium. Motion passes unanimously.
Chairman Anderson requested a show of hands from all others
present as to whether or not they approved of the Commit-
tee's action. There was no dissent.
Mr. Hug stated that he understood that Brown Engineers were
now fully authorized to proceed to get the earth work con-
tract to bid. There was no dissent.
Fine Arts Building - Nevada Southern
Architect James Mc Daniel presented the final plans of the
Fine Arts building for Nevada Southern and noted that there
were no significant changes from the preliminary plans pre-
viously approved by the Building Committee. President
Armstrong recommended approval. Mr. Jacobsen moved, second-
ed by Dr. Lombardi, that the final plans for the Fine Arts
building at Nevada Southern be approved. Motion passed
unanimously. President Armstrong noted that the Board of
Regents had delegated authority to the Building Committee
to grant final approval to these plans in order that Mr.
Mc Daniel might be paid.
Social Science Building - Nevada Southern
Architect Mc Daniel presented final plans for the Social
Science building at Nevada Southern. Engineer Rogers stated
that he recommended approval of the plans except for the
open stairwell on the west side. He said he had requested
Mr. Mc Daniel to show how a wind break could be constructed
at a later date should this prove to be a problem. Presi-
dent Armstrong read a letter from Dr. John S. Wright, Chair-
man of the Faculty Ad Hoc Committee for the Social Science
building, which stated the committee's approval of the
plans. President Armstrong recommended approval. Dr.
Lombardi moved, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, that the final
plans for the Social Science building at Nevada Southern
be approved. Motion passed unanimously.
Miscellaneous
Engineer Rogers requested that he be authorized to inform
Mr. Capurro that all dairy herd operations on the north
end of the Reno Campus be discontinued by March, 1964. Mr.
Jacobsen moved, seconded by Mr. Hug, that Engineer Rogers
be so authorized. Motion passed unanimously.
President Armstrong reported that Mr. Coe Swobe, President
of the Alumni Association, had requested that permission be
given to Brown Engineers to show and discuss the Stadium at
the next meeting of the Alumni Association. There was no
dissent.
Planning Board Manager, William Hancock, reporting on Nevada
Southern land exchange, stated that the Salton family had
agreed to sell their property for $103,890, plus all closing
costs. This is $15,000 per acre. He stated that the Uni-
versity Land Company had also agreed to sell any part of
their 10.6 acres for $15,000 per acre and give a six month
option for the balance of the acreage at the same price.
It was the consensus of the Building Committee that this
was satisfactory and that approval had been granted by the
Board of Regents on December 7, 1963.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
Mr. Germain commented for the record that, had he been able
to attend the meeting, he would have opposed the suggestion
made by the Planning Board regarding the elevation of the
Stadium floor.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that the minutes, and the actions taken, be approved.
13. Building Committee Meeting, January 24, 1964
At the request of President Armstrong, and in the absence of
Dr. Anderson, Dr. Young read from the minutes as follows,
actions which require approval by the Board:
The Building Committee met at 3 P.M. in the President's
Office.
Present were: Dr. Anderson, Chairman, Mr. Germain, Mr.
Hug, Mr. Jacobsen. Also present: Mr. Davis, Mr. Grant,
Mrs. Magee, Mrs. White, President Armstrong, Vice President
Young, Business Manager Humphrey.
(1) Previous Action of the Committee
Mr. Germain questioned the action of the Building
Committee at its meeting of December 23, 1963, revers-
ing the previous action of the Board of Regents regard-
ing the Physical Education Facility (Phase I) Reno. It
was pointed out that the Board had authorized the Com-
mittee to deal with this matter.
(2) Dormitory and Dining Hall - Las Vegas
Mr. Jack Knighton presented preliminary plans for a
Dormitory and Dining Hall on the Nevada Southern Campus
in Las Vegas. The Dining Hall would feed 150 persons
at a time. The Dormitory would house 120 students,
plus a resident supervisor. Mr. Rogers pointed out
that there should be a contingency on approval, sub-
ject to a report on kitchen layout by the consultant.
He recommended approval. President Armstrong reported
that the Faculty Committee had recommended approval,
and he also recommended approval.
Mr. Hug questioned the size and placement of the win-
dows and the use of the Dormitory on a coeducational
basis. There was considerable discussion regarding
the coeducational aspect, and it was decided that no
other practical way existed for the handling of the
first Dormitory during its initial year of operation.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen,
that the Committee recommend Board approval of the
preliminary plans, with the contingency mentioned.
The motion passed unanimously.
(3) Water Line Right of Way - Las Vegas
Mr. Rogers and President Armstrong recommended that the
Committee approve the granting of an easement 20 feet
wide from Flamingo Road south to the center of the
section line to the Las Vegas Valley Water District,
but with the understanding that the easement will not
be delivered until negotiations on water line costs
with the Church groups are complete.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Germain, that
the Committee recommend Board approval of the above
proposal. The motion passed unanimously.
(4) Church Property - Las Vegas
Mr. Rogers read a letter from Mr. William Hancock
stating that the Executive Committee of the State
Planning Board had directed his office to investigate
all courses of action, including condemnation that
could be taken to acquire the two parcels of property
held by the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day
Saints and the Roman Catholic Church.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen,
that the Committee recommend to the Board that it go
on record as desiring that no action be taken to
acquire the property. The motion passed unanimously.
(5) Rezoning of Property on Flamingo Road - Las Vegas
Mr. Rogers reported that an application to rezone the
property on Flamingo Road had been submitted to the
Clark County Planning Commission. No further action
was necessary.
(6) Acquired Property - Las Vegas
Mr. Rogers reported that the land being purchased for
the Nevada Southern Campus is being acquired in the
name of the State of Nevada and the State Planning
Board. He raised the question as to whether this might
create later problems.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Germain, that
the Committee recommend that the Board request transfer
of title to the University of properities being acquir-
ed, and that such action be taken as soon as possible.
The motion passed unanimously.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, that the
University Administration be instructed to search out
the titles of all property administered by the Univer-
sity to determine whether or not title is in the name
of the University and to report back to the Committee.
The motion passed unanimously.
(7) Capurro Property - Reno
Mr. Rogers reported that Mr. Vic Capurro has requested
that he be allowed to continue to use the property
north of the Campus for another 6 to 8 months. Mr.
Rogers and the President recommended that the Univer-
sity grant an extension until June 1, 1964.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, that the
Committee recommend Board approval of the above
recommendation.
(8) Rezoning of Property - Reno
Mr. Rogers reported that the Regional Planning Com-
mission staff has suggested that a street be planned
to cross the north east area of the Campus as part of
the development of privately owned land in that area.
President Armstrong pointed out that the development
is predicated on the owners getting a right-of-way
for a road through the Campus, and he recommended
that the University go on record as not granting such
a right-of-way.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Germain, that
the Committee recommend Board action in line with the
President's recommendation. The motion passed unani-
mously.
(9) Physical Science Project - Reno
Mr. Rogers reported that the Physical Sciences Build-
ing Faculty Committee has recommended that the Chemis-
try section of the Physical Science building be con-
structed first if the entire building is not construct-
ed at one time. President Armstrong so recommended.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Germain, that the
State Planning Board be instructed that, if the Physi-
cal Science building is constructed in increments, the
Chemistry phase be constructed first. Motion passed
unanimously.
(10) Physical Education Facility - Reno
President Armstrong read letter from Dr. G. A. Broten,
Chairman of the Physical Education Facility Faculty
Committee, recommending certain changes in the plans
for the Physical Education Facility (Phase 1) on the
Reno Campus. President Armstrong recommended approval
of these changes consisting of change in location of
locker room building, location of a toilet room facil-
ity for both men and women on the west side of the
Stadium, deletion of the east Stadium seating and re-
lated facilities in view of estimated costs, and lo-
cation of toilet room for both men and women. As a
result of the changes, the plans will be developed to
show one locker room at the south end of the Stadium,
one toilet facility for men and women on the west
side, and one toilet facility for men and women on
the east side, the deletion of the permanent seating
on the east side including related facilities in view
of estimated costs and the installation of the present
bleachers on the east side.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, that the
Committee recommend Board approval of the proposed
changes. The motion passed unanimously.

has donated to the University half interest in property
(9 acres and a house) in Reno valued at $121,750 and
half interest in 25 acres of pasture land valued at
$100,000 to be traded for the other half interest in
the above mentioned property. The amount of the gift
is to be dedicated as a memorial to her husband and
son. President Armstrong recommended acceptance of
the gift and approval of the necessary resolution
authorizing exercising of the option.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, that
the Committee recommend Board acceptance of the gift
and authorization of the appropriate resolution. The
motion passed unanimously.
(13) Mining Claims - Tonopah
President Armstrong recommended that the University
sell its interest in several mining claims in Tonopah
to the highest bidder. The Committee suggested that
bids be opened, and the results be reported to the
Committee.
(14) Pierre's College Inn - Las Vegas
President Armstrong reported that Pierre's College Inn
near the Nevada Southern Campus plans to apply for a
liquor license. A previous request had been opposed
by the University. He recommended a similar stand
this time.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, Mr. Germain seconded, that the
Committee recommend that the Board go on record as op-
posing the request for a license. The motion passed
unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 5:20 P.M.
Kenneth E. Young
Acting Secretary
Regarding item #2, Dormitory and Dining Hall, Las Vegas,
Preliminary Plans, President Armstrong recommended approval.
Motion was made by Mr. Davis to amend the motion of the
Building Committee by adding the following: However, every
attempt shall be made to limit such facilities to the female
sex. If it appears that there are insufficient applicants
for rooms by female students to insure complete occupancy
by female students then the first floor shall be reserved
for male students with proper security safeguards establish-
ed and maintained.
The Chairman called for discussion. Mr. Rogers stated that
all substantiating material submitted to Housing and Home
Finance Agency indicated a total of 120 individuals would
be living in the Dormitory, but that the ratio of men and
women would be a University concern. Mr. Hug agreed with
Mr. Davis, that as soon as possible, it is desirable to do
away with co-educational Dormitories.
The amendment was lost for want of a second.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
with Mr. Davis abstaining, and all other Regents voting
"aye" that the preliminary plans, as approved by the Build-
ing Committee, and recommended to the Board, be approved.
Regarding church property at Las Vegas, item #4, Mr. Han-
cock, Manager of the State Planning Board, and Mr. James
Cashman, Jr., Vice Chairman of the State Planning Board,
met with the Regents to discuss the proposal of the Plan-
ning Board to condemn, or otherwise acquire, property at
Las Vegas owned by the Roman Catholic Church and the Church
of Jesus Christ, Latter Day Saints, since the church prop-
erty is surrounded by University property. He said that
there is land on the edge of the Campus which would be
adequate for the church groups, and proposed methods of
financing the exchange. He and Mr. Hancock agreed that,
unless the church groups are moved from the Campus, their
presence will be detrimental to the Master Plan.
Mr. Hancock expressed his opinion that the only way to
acquire the church property is by right of eminent domain.
The Planning Board however does not wish to bring such
action without the support of the University, at least to
the extent of knowing that the Board of Regents would not
oppose.
General discussion followed. It was brought out that, since
the church groups already own the land and one group has al-
ready started construction, condemnation action would react
unfavorably toward the University. The general opinion was
that the church groups would be unwilling to sell, trade or
otherwise remove themselves from the Campus, since they had
studied the matter carefully and concluded that this was
the very best location for their church activities.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Dr. White, to adopt the
Building Committee recommendation "that it go on record as
desiring that no action be taken to acquire the property."
The motion lost with Regents Anderson, Davis, Germain,
Jacobsen and Magee voting "no", Regents Hug and White vot-
ing "aye", and Regent Grant abstaining.
The Regents recessed at 11:00 A.M. for a tour of Military
Facilities and luncheon in the Dining Commons. The recessed
meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 1:20 P.M.
Dr. Anderson, who came into the meeting at this point,
asked that his vote on the above motion be recorded as "no".
Motion was made by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Hug, that
the Building Committee go on record as not desiring that
any action be taken to acquire the property, but that the
Board of Regents not oppose the Planning Board's efforts
to acquire the church property.
The Chairman asked for any discussion. Dr. Armstrong point-
ed out that the church groups might well ask why the Uni-
versity had approved the water connection previously, know-
ing that they planned immediate construction. Mr. Jacobsen
expressed the thought that the Planning Board has been fair
in helping them find land in the Campus area, and that sure-
ly their presence in the Campus will be a detriment to fu-
ture development.
It was then decided by informal agreement that an effort be
made to meet with representatives of the church groups to
see if a solution might be worked out. Mr. Humphrey was
asked to try to arrange such a meeting.
Motion was made by Dr. Anderson to table the motion until
an attempt is made to reach Mr. Von Tobel and Mr. Gibson,
representing the church groups, both of whom are in Carson
City attending the legislative session.
14. Fraternity Housemothers
Present for this item of business were Dean Basta, Mr. Coe
Swobe, and Mr. Louis Spitz of the Alumni Interfraternity
Council, Mr. Donald Heath and Mr. Mario Peraldo of the
Active Interfraternity Council, and Mr. Romide of Theta
Chi Fraternity. The meeting was in regard to a policy
adopted by the Board of Regents on October 6, 1962: "Each
fraternity shall be required to have a Housemother or Grad-
uate Assistant as a requirement for an approved University
residence, to become effective 1964-65."
Mr. Swobe presented the case for the Alumni Interfraternity
Council and previously had presented a petition signed by
members of the Alumni Council asking that the Regents re-
consider their action. Mr. Swobe discussed the responsi-
bilities of the University in loco parentis and expressed
his belief that it does not need to apply in this situation,
i. e., if the University does not exercise this right it
would not be legally liable. He stressed that the require-
ment would cripple fraternities because of the difficulty
to get good Housemothers and the expense involved. He
described methods of control by alumni which he felt are
adequate and which make it unnecessary to require House-
mothers or Graduate Assistants.
Dean Basta spoke of the "hand on the shoulder" of students
living in approved residences, that in loco parentis the
University has the responsibility to establish rules not
only for discipline but for the health and general living
standards of students.
Mr. Heath and Mr. Spitz spoke on behalf of the Interfrater-
nity request.
A letter just received from Deputy Attorney General Walsh
was discussed by President Armstrong. It stated: (1) The
University stands in loco parentis concerning the physical
and moral welfare and mental training of the students and
may enact rules and regulations forbidding all acts of
students which are detrimental to the good order and best
interests of the school or which affect the conduct and
discipline of the school. (2) The University can enact
rules of conduct to the same extent that parents can as
long as these rules are not palpably unreasonable or con-
trary to public policy. (3) I do not believe that the
University is legally responsibile, in a strict sense,
for safeguarding the health, morals, and welfare of stu-
dents. However, the University does have the authority
to regulate the conduct of the students in these areas.
(4) Every student on his admission impliedly promises to
submit to and be governed by all the necessary and proper
rules and regulations (of the University).
President Armstrong suggested that the matter be taken under
consideration by a committee or committees of the Board. It
was so agreed and Chairman Grant asked the Student Affairs
Committee, with the addition of Mr. Hug and Mr. Jacobsen,
to meet on the matter with power to act in this case. Since
Mr. Jacobsen would be unable to attend the meeting on the
evening set (January 29), Dr. Anderson was designated in
his place.
15. Building Committee Meeting of January 24, 1964 - continued
Dr. Young read item #6 on Acquired Property, Las Vegas.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously to approve the recommendation of the Building
Committee regarding transfer of title to property acquired
in Las Vegas to the University.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the recommendation of the Building Commit-
tee be approved and that title of all property administered
by the University be searched with report to the Board.
In regard to action of the Building Committee on the
Capurro property, item #7.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the action be approved in extending use
of the property to Mr. Capurro until June 1, 1964.
On item #8, there was general discussion by the Regents,
both as to the re-zoning and the granting of right-of-way
for road.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that the Regents go on record as opposing the
right-of-way.
Mr. Rogers discussed item #9 - the Physical Science Project.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried

Building Committee.
Mr. Rogers discussed item #10 - Physical Education Facility,
Reno.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried unani-
mously that the Regents approve the action of the Building
Committee.
The Hill-Smith property gift was discussed (item #12).
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the gift be accepted and that the follow-
ing resolution be adopted:
RESOLUTION #64-1
WHEREAS, Mrs. Wynne M. Hill-Smith has given to the Univer-
sity of Nevada a 1/2 interest in 9 acres of land and a
residence at 7675 Lakeside Drive, Reno (identified as par-
cel #1 on the attached description); and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Hill-Smith has also given to the University
of Nevada a 1/2 interest in approximately 25.705 acres of
pasture land (identified as parcels #2 and #3 on the
attached description); and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Lytle, owners of the re-
maining 1/2 interest in these properties, had given an
option to Mrs. Hill-Smith to exchange her 1/2 interest in
parcels #2 and #3 plus $1000 for their 1/2 interest in
parcel #1; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Hill-Smith has, by way of gift, assigned the
option to the University of Nevada and given the Univer-
sity of Nevada the sum of $1000 in the event the University
should wish to exercise the option; and
WHEREAS, it appears to be clearly in the interest of the
University of Nevada that the option be exercised;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the Board of Regents does hereby authorize and approve
the exercise of the described option and authorize the
Chairman and Secretary of the Board of Regents to sign the
Deed of Conveyance to parcels #2 and #3 as described.
In regard to item #14, motion by Dr. White, seconded by Dr.
Germain, carried unanimously that the Regents reiterate
their stand on this same question, taken in meeting of the
Board on September 6, 1958, which requested that the license
not be granted.
16. Fund Raising Campaign, Nevada Southern
President Armstrong presented a proposal of the Nevada
Southern Foundation to adopt, as a project, a fund raising
program for the Drama building portion of the Fine Arts
Complex. Discussion followed in which Mr. Grant pointed
out that perhaps it would be more desirable not to earmark
the money for the Drama portion of the Complex, but rather
to raise money for the Fine Arts Complex. The money could
then be used for any portion of the Complex, and if funds
should come from other sources for any portion, the Founda-
tion could center its attention on another portion of the
Complex. Dr. Armstrong so recommended.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. White, carried unani-
mously that the Board approve the fund raising project with
the understanding that Dr. Armstrong will discuss with the
Foundation the desire of the Regents that some of the funds
be applied to other portions of the Complex if other fund-
ing can be found for the Drama building.
17. Anelli Estate Property
Information had been received by the University that the
Executrix of the Anelli Estate would like to settle the
Estate, and for this reason, to sell the property, which
adjoins the University Campus on the north. Further in-
formation reached the Board that the Executrix would re-
quest re-zoning in the interest of the sale of the land,
and intended to ask the University for a roadway through
the Campus to the Anelli property. Since the information
was of uncertain nature, Mr. Hug, who is acquainted with
the accountant for the Estate, offered to secure definite
information and report back to the Board later in the
meeting.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the Board authorize the Building Committee
to proceed with this project, and at the same time, author-
ize Mr. Hug to talk to representatives of the Anelli Estate,
working closely with President Armstrong.
18. Security Resolution
Mr. Rogers called attention to the fact that it has been
some time since the Regents adopted a "disclaimer" resolu-
tion and that it would be well now to do so. President
Armstrong recommended that the following resolution be
adopted:
RESOLUTION #64-2
RESOLVED, that the members of the Board of Regents as
follows, who are citizens of the United States, will not
require, nor will have, and can be effectively denied,
access to classified information in the possession of the
organization and do not occupy positions that would enable
them to affect adversely the organization's policy or prac-
tices in the performance of contracts for the Government.

20. Class A Actions
President Armstrong presented with his recommendation for
approval, four Class A Actions as follows, which have been
approved by the Academic Council, the University Council,
and the University Faculty:
I. Page 28 University Code - delete existing para-
graphs 1, 2 and 3, and substitute the following:
1. Transition from the logarithmic progression "Rank
and Salary Pattern" to the linear progression pat-
tern will occur during the 1964-65 and 1965-66
fiscal years. The objective during that two year
period will be to move all staff to the new pat-
tern without disturbing existing relative posi-
tions except for those persons receiving promo-
tions in rank. Except as noted above, each staff
member shall receive a salary increase in 1964-65
equal in percentage to 1/2 of the difference be-
tween the base of his salary step under the log-
arthmic pattern and the same relative position
step in the linear pattern. In 1965-66 the staff
member shall receive the same dollar increase as
in 1964-65, thus placing him on the new pattern.
A staff member whose 1965-66 increase does not
place him at a step shall be advanced to the
nearest step of the new pattern; however, no ad-
vancement beyond the top step of the range for
the applicable rank shall occur. Adjustments of
less than 3.15% (normal advancement for satis-
factory service under logarithmic pattern) of the
1963-64 base salary shall not be given for In-
structors or rank one.
2. Staff members promoted during 1964-65 or 1965-66
will receive a salary increase to the appropriate
step within the new rank, but in no case will the
increase be less than had the promotion in rank
not been received. Staff members judged to be
rendering unsatisfactory service may be held at
their 1963-64 salary. In such cases all guar-
antees of appeal and review contained in this
code shall be applicable. Each new professional
staff member shall be placed at the approximate
salary step within rank at the time of his in-
itial appointment.
3. Once the transition to the linear schedule is
accomplished all salaries will be at a specified
step rather than between the bounds of a step.
In making the transition there will be no auto-
matic changes in rank and all adjustments must
be within the budget limitations of the Univer-
sity. The maximum salary which may be paid for
Instructor or second rank shall be II, 9; and
for Associate Professor or third rank shall be
II, 11. Step IV, 11 for Professor or fourth
rank is a base and no maximum shall apply to
this step.
II. Paragraph 7, Section III, Chapter II, University Code
calling of meetings.
This portion of the Code presently reads as follows:
"... There shall be at least two regular meetings of
the University Faculty in each semester. Special
meetings of the University Faculty or a segment there-
of may be called by the President of the University or
by his designate. Either of these Officers is re-
quired to call a meeting as soon as it is feasible
upon written request signed by 15% of the members of
the group concerned. The Officer who calls the meet-
ing shall determine the order of business and in so
doing shall provide opportunity for introduction of
new business from the floor."
The proposed change is as follows:
"... Meetings of the University Faculty or a segment
thereof may be called by the President of the Uni-
versity or his designate. Either of the above Offi-
cers is required to call a meeting as soon as is
feasible upon written request signed by 15% of the
members of the group concerned or upon request of
the University Council. The President or his desig-
nate shall determine the order of business and in so
doing shall provide opportunity for introduction of
new business from the floor."
III. The following Code changes are designed to implement
the Committee's recommendations:
P. 19, para. 3. "An Instructor, with a Doctor's
degree ...". Change to read: "An Instructor, with
a Doctor's degree or equivalent, or who has demon-
strated his value to the University by superior serv-
ice, may expect to be considered for promotion at
any time and, in the case of those Instructors hold-
ing Doctor's degrees or equivalent must be consider-
ed by promotion after a period of not more than two
yers in this rank."
P. 19, para. 4: Add the capitalized portion as in-
dicated. "Assistant Professor (or Second) Rank --
Qualification of the previous rank plus: Doctor's
degree or equivalent in special professional OR
PREVIOUSLY DEMONSTRATED SUPERIOR SERVICE TO THE
UNIVERSITY; a record of effectiveness ...".
P. 20, para. 7: Add the capitalized portion as in-
cated. "Assistant, Field of Specialization: 'Nu-
tritionist', etc. (or Second Rank) -- Qualifications
of the previous rank plus : Doctor's degree or
equivalent in special professional field OR PREV-
IOUSLY DEMONSTRATED SUPERIOR SERVICE TO THE UNI-
VERSITY; evidence of continued ...".
IV. Master of Business Administration
The College of Business Administration wishes to offer
a graduate degree entitled "Master of Business Admin-
istration". The curriculum required for this degree
will be identical to that presently required for the
Master of Science degree in Business Administration.
The new degree is desired as the standard Master's
degree in Business Administration is the professional
degree, "Master of Business Administration".
Dr. Armstrong also distributed and discussed addi-
tional material in explanation of the new salary
schedule, pointing out that the new schedule takes
care of the middle areas where the University was
previously weak.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the above Class A actions be approved.
21. Church Property, Las Vegas - continued
Mr. James Gibson met with the Regents on behalf of the
Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. Mr. Von
Tobel had not been located.
Mr. Grant called on Dr. Armstrong, who explained that the
State Planning Board has discussed with the Regents their
thinking that the present properties held by the two
churches in the area of the Las Vegas Campus are so locat-
ed that they will interfere with the future development
according to the Master Plan. The Planning Board therefore
is contemplating an attempt to acquire these properties
from the churches and allow them to locate at the perimeter
of the Campus. The Regents want to know if it will create
difficulties for the churches. The University can foresee
problems in the development of the University. On the other
hand, the Board is interested in having the churches near
the Campus, but not necessarily in the middle of the Campus.
Mr. Gibson explained that the local church has gone through
the necessary "red tape" with the church organization and
now has committed itself both as to the cost of the land
and to the extent of $80,000 for the building, which is now
underway. Before construction was started, President
Whipple of the Las Vegas Stake was offered a corner on
Flamingo Road by the Planning Board. However, the church
did not want to make the exchange. Mr. Gibson did not think
the church would move from the Campus location voluntarily,
and he thought the church program would be handicapped if
they were forced to move. He offered to talk to Mr. Von
Tobel about the matter and the Regents thanked him. Mr.
Gibson left the meeting.
22. History of the University
At the request of the Regents, study had been made of possi-
ble methods of treatment and President Armstrong presented
the results of that study, indicating three possible forms
- statistical, textual and pictorial, and recommended the
textual treatment, in which the treatment is much similar
to History textbooks, with a balance between broadscope
development and detail, written in a generally narrative
strain.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that the textual treatment be approved, and that
the President proceed with the project, as presented to
the Regents as their meeting on December 7, 1963.
23. Transfers, Contingency Reserve Fund
President Armstrong reported the following transfers of less
than $2000 each:
#95 $250 to Secondary Education Department, College of
Education, to provide funds for alteration of Room
102, Thompson Education building.
#112 $1360 to Dean of Student Affairs, Reno, to provide
$703 for wages and $265 for operating and $392 for
equipment to enable this office to assume Teacher
Placement function as of January 1, 1964.
#118 $1212 to Business Manager to provide In-State Travel
funds to enable temporary employees of this office
to spend six weeks on the Nevada Southern Campus to
inventory furniture and equipment.
#125 $1000 to Publications and News Service, Reno, to
supplement the wages account.
#127/8 $910 to English Department, College of Arts and Sci-
ence, to provide additional help to replace time of
Chairman released for DRI activities.
President Armstrong recommended approval of the following
transfers of more than $2000 each:
#117 $4300 to School of Home Economics, College of Agri-
culture, to purchase equipment for Home Management
Residence.
#124 $2800 to Buildings and Grounds, Reno, general re-
pairs account to provide for remodeling of room
108, Clark Administration building.
#129 $66,877.77 from Various Professional & Technical
Salary Accounts to Contingency Reserve.
#130 $18,589.26 from Contingency Reserve to various
accounts. (List attached for #129 and #130.)
#131 $56,300 from Contingency Reserve to Building and
Grounds, Reno, Repairs, General.
#132 $3300 from Contingency Reserve to Executive Vice
President to implement enrollment projection study
for Reno Campus and Nevada Southern ($3100 to Wages
and $200 In-State Travel). These funds will be
used by Dr. Paiola, Dr. Wofford, Dr. de Young and
Mr. Byrd.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the Contingency Reserve Fund transfers be
approved.
24. Salary and Code Committee
Mr. Hug discussed the meeting held on January 24, 1964,
minutes of which are as follows:
The meeting was held in the President's Office in Clark

dent Young and President Armstrong.
(1) General
Mr. Hug distributed copies of the draft of proposed
by-laws of the Board of Regents prepared by Cresap,
Mc Cormick & Paget, with suggested changes. Presi-
dent Armstrong was asked to review the background of
this report. The Committee agreed that it was impor-
tant to develop a new set of by-laws as soon as pos-
sible since the old by-laws are outdated and are not
being followed. The Committee further agreed to go
through the report to identify the major policy areas.
(2) Committees
The report recommended five committees: Educational
Policies, Administrative, Plant and Property, Develop-
ment, and Investment. The Regents in an earlier re-
view had suggested seven committees: Plant and Prop-
erty, Investment, Legislative, Honorary Degrees and
Awards, Development, Personnel and Student Affairs.
The Committee agreed on the following committees: Educa-
tional Policies, Administrative and Personnel, Plant and
Property, Development, Investment, Student Affairs, Hon-
orary Degrees and Awards, and Legislative.
(3) Delegation to Committee
The Committee agreed to change the wording of Article
II, Section 3, as follows:
"The Board of Regents shall be responsible for the
management and control of the University but may
delegate specific authority to its various committees
as hereinafter provided."
The Committee agreed to change the wording of Article
II, Section 4, as follows:
"The standing committees of the Board of Regents shall
consider such matters as may be referred to them by
the Board of Regents. Until approved by the Board of
Regents the action taken by any committee shall not
be binding on the Board of Regents or the University
of Nevada, unless the committee has been given speci-
fic power to act."
(4) Meeting of the Board
The Committee agreed to change the wording of Article
II, Section 5, as follows:
"The Board of Regents shall hold regular meetings
monthly and may hold special meetings at the discre-
tion of the Board or at the call of the Chairman, Vice-
Chairman, or any three members. However, if at any
meeting it is determined by a majority of the Board
that the next meeting is unnecessary, such meeting
shall not be held."
(5) Terms of Office
The Committee agreed to change the wording of Article
III, Section 4, as follows:
"Officers shall be elected at the organization meet-
ing of the Board in January of odd-numbered years,
and shall serve two-year terms.
a. No Officer may succeed himself in the same Office
but may be re-elected to the same position after
a lapse of two years."
(6) Identity of Officers
The Committee discussed a possible change in the word-
ing of Article II, Section 1, but postponed action.
Further study is to be made of the question as to
whether or not the Secretary should be an Officer of
the Board.
/s/ Kenneth Young
Acting Secretary
Mr. Hug asked the members of the Committee to meet in Reno
on Friday, March 27, 1964, at 10:00 A.M. to consider mat-
ters pertaining to by-laws and at 1:00 P.M. to take up sal-
ary matters.
25. Building Committee
The Regents' Building Committee scheduled a meeting for 3:00
P.M. on Friday, March 27, in the President's Office.
26. Anelli Property - continued
Mr. Hug reported that he has now checked with representa-
tives of the Anelli Estate and the land is definitely in
the hands of Lucini and Associates. They are going to
proceed with the sale of the property so Mr. Hug withdrew
his objection and proposed that the University let the
staff of the Regional Planning Commission know that it is
opposed to re-zoning the area and granting right-of-way
for a road through University property.
Mr. Jacobsen withdrew his original motion and moved that
the Regents go on record as opposing re-zoning the area
north of the Campus and as not being willing to grant a
right-of-way for a road through the Campus, and that this
information be transmitted to the Regional Planning Com-
mission. Dr. White seconded the motion, and it carried
unanimously.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried unani-
mously that the Administration be empowered to negotiate
for the purchase of the land between the present northern
boundary of the Campus and Oddie Boulevard.
27. Water Line, Las Vegas Campus - continued
It was agreed that this item be held in abeyance until some
decision is made in regard to the church property. Later,
by telephone, it was agreed to grant the request for water
line at the Las Vegas Campus.
28. Church Property, Las Vegas - continued
Mr. Grant asked that the record show that he is against
condemnation.
Motion was made by Dr. Anderson to recall the previous mo-
tion on his matter for tabling and made a new motion,
seconded by Mr. Germain, that the Board of Regents go on
record as desiring that no condemnation action be taken
to acquire the property. Carried unanimously.
The Regents adjourned the regular session at 5:05 P.M.
The next meeting of the Board was set for Saturday, March 28,
1964 in Fallon.
