The meeting was called to order by Chairman Anderson at 11:20
A.M.
1. Approval of Minutes of Previous Meeting
Upon motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, the
minutes of the meeting of January 12-13, 1968 were approved
as recommended.
2. Purchases of Educational TV Equipment
Mr. Pine reported that bids have been opened for two pur-
chases of equipment involved in the TV system linking the
University of Nevada and Nevada Southern University. He
noted that the following had been received on Bid. No. 569
for microwave equipment:
Lenkurt Electric Company $53,360
Philco-Ford Corporation 87,322
Mr. Pine noted that Lenkurt Electric had, in submitting
their bid, specified a different payment schedule but has
since agreed to the University's practices. He recommended
the bid of Lenkurt Electric be accepted. His recommendation
was endorsed by the Business Manager at NSU, by both Chan-
cellors and by Acting President Humphrey.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
by roll call vote that the above recommendation be approved
and the contract awarded to Lenkurt Electric Company.
Mr. Pine reported that the following had been received on
Bid No. 570 for equipment for the television studio:
Base Bid 4 1/2" I. O. Cameras
Ampex Corporation $229,905.00
Radio Corporation of America 299,994.00
Sarkes-Tarzian, Inc. 312,496.00
ITT Service (Federal Electric Corp.) 340,892.00
Philco-Ford 341,771.00
Alternate Bid 3" I. O. Camera
Sarkes-Tarzian, Inc. $259,870.00
Philco-Ford 312,138.00
ITT Service (Federal Electric Corp.) 312,573.00
Stage Sound and Equipment 329,327.40
Mr. Pine noted that Sarkes-Tarzian, the third bidder, had
raised objections to the award of the bid to Ampex Corpor-
ation, stating that in their opinion the Ampex Corporation's
bid did not meet specifications in two major areas. These
were the "Dynair" video switches and the film camera. Mr.
Pine stated that this matter was referred to Mr. Donald
Bowdish, consultant representing the firm of Jack A. Ricket
Associates, Inc. and Mr. Harold Judge of E. G. & G., Inc.
These two consultants recommended acceptance of the bid of
Ampex Corporation, as did Mr. Pine, Mr. Westfall and both
Chancellors. Acting President Humphrey recommended the
contract be awarded to Ampex Corporation in the amount of
$229,905.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved
and the contract be awarded to Ampex Corporation.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
unanimously that the Regents extend thanks to the con-
sultants for their assistance in reviewing the bids for
this equipment.
3. Administrative Reorganization
Acting President Humphrey reviewed the work of the Committee
on Administrative Reorganization, noting that they had now
reached the point where they were prepared to make recom-
mendations concerning the central administrative structure
of the University. Their report, included with the agenda
material, was discussed with Mr. Humphrey highlighting the
recommendations.
(The majority report and its attachments filed with perma-
nent minutes.)
The recommendations of the Committee were as follows:
The Ad Hoc Committee is of the opinion that the University
of Nevada System concept should be recognized. The state-
ment in Section 4.1 of the University Code that "... each
Campus is a full-fledged University in its own right ..."
should be implemented, and each Campus should be allowed
to develop to its full potential. At the same time, the
Ad Hoc Committee has concluded that, at least at this
time, the System concept will serve the two Universities
and the State better than would a completely separate
organizational structure which would perhaps invite much
greater extramural coordination and control than is now
the case.
The Committee, therefore, recommends Plan 2 but wishes to
stress that redefinition of roles toward greater autonomy
for each Campus is essential to the recommendation. In
order to implement this recommendation, the Ad Hoc Commit-
tee respectfully suggests that the following changes be
made by the Board of Regents.
1. System or central executive
A. Change title from President to Chancellor.
B. Provide that the Chancellor report to and be ap-
pointed by the Board of Regents and be the Chief
Executive Officer of the University of Nevada
System. The wisdom of full faculty participation
in the nomination procedure for the Chancellor
(noting title change) in accord with the Nevada
Revised Statutes is affirmed.
C. Define the responsibilities of this position
clearly. Included in the list should be:
(1) Coordination of the activities, policies
and programs of the two Universities wher-
ever these overlap, conflict or inefficiently
compete;
(2) Coordination of system Financial support and
planning;
(3) Board of Regents secretariat function; and
(4) Coordination of legislative relationships.
D. In all matters where there is disagreement between
the Chancellor and a President, the Chancellor
shall forward both his recommendations and that
of the President to the Board of Regents.
2. Campus executive
A. Change title from Chancellor to President.
B. Provide that appointment of the Presidents be the
responsibility of the Board of Regents. In fill-
ing a vacancy the Chancellor should be expected to
play an important role. The wisdom of full faculty
participation in the nomination procedure for the
President (noting title change) in accord with the
Nevada Revised Statutes is affirmed.
C. Continue to define the responsibility of these
positions by increasing the autonomy of the two
Universities.
D. Insure that even though the Presidents report to
the Chancellor, they have access to the Board in
regular meetings. All officers must, of course,
abide by the Board's decision once it has been
reached.
E. The President normally will be the principal
spokesman on Board approved matters affecting
his University, as distinct from those with
Systemwide implications.
3. Problems concerning University reorganization and the
Desert Research Institute were presented to the Com-
mittee January 19, leaving insufficient time to develop
a Committee recommendation. A recommendation of the
Vice President and Director of DRI and his senior staff
is now in the process of preparation.
The Committee believes that serious and detailed con-
sideration should be given to insuring an appropriate
role and administrative structure for the DRI. We
respectfully request that we be allowed additional
time for consideration of DRI staff recommendation
and that we report to the Board on this at a later
date. Unless recommended by the Committee at a later
date, we suggest that no basic change occur in DRI
administrative structure except to retitle Professor
Mordy's position to Vice Chancellor and Director of
Desert Research Institute to accommodate the change
in titles recommended above.
4. Significant steps toward greater Campus administrative
autonomy have been taken recently, including (a) re-
organization of the office of the Vice President-
Finance whereby all line functions were transferred to
the Chief Campus Executive; and (b) transfer of the
Director of Development from the Chief System Executive
to the Chief Campus Executive. It is understood that
additional steps are under consideration, e. g. move-
ment of the academic Personnel Office to the Chief
Campus Executive. These changes are consistent with
the recommendations made by this Committee.
5. Presently the Dean of General University Extension
reports to the Chief System Executive and certain
responsibilities of this Division are performed on
and near both Universities. It is understood that
consideration is now being given to a possible re-
organization which might recognize better each Uni-
versity's role in this program, especially in the
Off-Campus and Evening Divisions. If the Board con-
curs in the Ad Hoc Committee's request to remain
organized for consideration of the DRI question, it
is recommended that the Committee also be allowed to
investigate and make recommendations concerning
General University Extension.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried with-
out dissent that the Committee remain organized for the
purpose of considering recommendations concerning Desert
Research Institute and other Statewide programs not yet
studied by this group.
Dr. White then distributed a modified report which she had
prepared and moved that it be adopted. Motion seconded by
Mr. Grant.
It was pointed out by the Chairman that the report of the
Committee had not yet been fully presented and suggested
that it might be premature to request adoption of a specific
recommendation at this point. Dr. White concurred and asked
that her motion be withdrawn. Mr. Grant concurred.
Mr. Humphrey continued with the presentation of the Com-
mittee, noting that in its meeting of February 9, the Com-
mittee had requested that it be specified that there were
certain items in the minority report that had not been
discussed by the Committee and were not contained in the
majority report; specifically, the recommendation that the
Chancellor's Office be located in the State Capitol, and
the statement that delegated to the President the duties
of contracting officer and provided for a separate legal
seal and mace.
Mr. Humphrey then requested that members of the Committee
be allowed to make comments if they desired or to respond
to any questions the Regents might have.
Dr. Moyer spoke of his concern that if the responsibility
for his Campus rested with him, then he would hope the
authority would be vested in him. He stated that he felt
the System Officer need not be an executive or line of-
ficer except in matters concerning the Statewide System;
that a coordinating officer could provide coordination
where required or requested and serve as a staff officer
to the Board.
Vice President Mordy spoke of the concern of the Desert
Research Institute as it would be affected by granting of
autonomy to each Campus and suggested that perhaps DRI
should also become a separate entity of the University.
Dr. Bushnell requested the Regents to read the majority
report together with the minority report so that the very
great difference between the recommendations would become
apparent.
Both Dr. Malone and Professor Ross expressed concern that
the Regents be completely aware of the difference between
the terms "executive" and "coordinating" as it relates to
the System Officer.
Professor Ross underscored the emphasis on the term execu-
tive, pointing out that the Regents must be concerned with
the probability of governing a multi-Campus System in the
near future and stated that, in his opinion, their decision
must be made with this consideration in mind.
In response to a question from Mr. Jacobsen as to the
reason for the recommendation that the titles be reversed,
Dr. Saville reminded the Board of the several consultants
who had recommended this specific move.
Dr. Anderson then read for the Board a copy of a resolution
adopted by the ASUN Senate, as follows:
A. S. U. N. SENATE RESOLUTION
CONCERNING ADMINISTRATIVE REORGANIZATION
In view of the need of the University of Nevada for
an executive with administrative authority over both
Northern and Southern Campuses for the purposes of
directing Statewide educational goals, directing the
University Extension System, and consolidating the
budgets of each Campus, the A. S. U. N. Senate does
therefore resolve that the present administrative
structure be retained.
Passed unanimously
February 7, 1968
Dr. Anderson also noted the presence of Ernie Maupin and
asked for his comments. Mr. Maupin stated that he had
nothing to add except to make the observation that it
appeared to him after hearing the Ad Hoc Committee's re-
port that the ASUN was essentially endorsing the adoption
of Plan #2. Mr. Mc Dermott asked if the ASUN had re-
viewed the Committee report prior to the passing of their
resolution. Mr. Maupin replied that they had not seen
the report until it had been distributed to those present
at the Board of Regents meeting.
Mr. Humphrey was requested to read a letter from Dr. James
Botsford, President of the University of Nevada Alumni
Association, in which he stated that the Alumni Association
had polled its Executive Committee, using the ballot form
submitted to the faculty, and based on the results of that
survey recommended to the Regents the adoption of Plan #2.
Mr. James Bilbray, President of the NSU Alumni Association,
stated that his members support Plan #3 but he believed
would accept a compromise between Plans 2 and 3.
Mr. Bell stated that many months have been spent in study
and discussion concerning reorganization, hearing from
experts, and reviewing material. He said that he would
hope the thrust for development of each Campus would come
from the Chief Officer of that Campus and that he would
hope that the Board of Regents would have enough confi-
dence to look to the Chancellors for recommendations con-
cerning their Campuses.
At this point, the Chairman adjourned the meeting for lunch,
reconvening at 1:45 P.M. at which time discussion on the admin-
istrative reorganization resumed.
Mr. Hug reopened the discussion by stating that he did not
feel there was a great deal of difference of opinion as to
the way the University System should operate. He said
that, in his opinion, the difference seems to be in how
one views the role of the System Officer. Mr. Hug moved
that the Board of Regents go on record as favoring one
Statewide System with the Chief Executive Officer of the
System to be the Chancellor of the University; the Chief
Executive Officer of each Campus to be a President. At
the same time, Mr. Hug continued, the Board recognize in
general terms the necessity for autonomy for each Campus.
He requested that the Chairman of the Board appoint an
appropriate committee to make nominations for the position
of Chancellor. Mr. Hug further moved that the Board of
Regents, at a future date and with the recommendations
received from the Ad Hoc Committee, get together with the
President's (Chancellor's) Advisory Cabinet to define
appropriate rolls and the manner in which the University
System should function. Motion seconded by Mr. Grant,
carried unanimously.
(Dr. Anderson appointed Mr. Seeliger, Mr. Grant and Mr.
Hug and the two Chairmen of the Faculty Senates to serve
on the committee requested by Mr. Hug. Mr. Seeliger was
appointed as Chairman.)

Robin Lang Keith, Instructor, Rank I, January 16 to May 31,
1968 at the annual salary rate of $7200 (temporary posi-
tion)
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the above personnel actions be
confirmed.
Mr. Humphrey noted that when the By-Laws of the Board of
Regents were revised in 1965, Article VI, Section 3, e,
delegated to the President the responsibility to "appoint
all officers and employees of the University, provided
that the Board of Regents or one of its committees shall
approve appointment of persons who are responsible di-
rectly to the President, of all Deans, Directors and
major administrative officers, and of persons to tenure."
The practice of referring all personnel appointments to
the Board for confirmation has continued and Mr. Humphrey
requested that the Administration be advised as to whether
or not the Board wishes to continue acting upon all per-
sonnel appointments.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
without dissent that the By-Laws be followed and person-
nel appointments, other than those specifically reserved
to the Board, become final upon approval of the President.
6. Roll Call Vote
Mr. Humphrey noted that the Board of Regents, at its meet-
ing on January 12-13, 1968, requested information concern-
ing the requirement that a roll call vote must be taken
under certain conditions; e. g., when spending money. A
careful search has revealed that this was a practice begun
under the requirements of the By-Laws of the Board adopted
in 1926 and, although not carried forward in the Revised
By-Laws of the Board of 1965, the practice has continued.
Mr. Humphrey recommended that the practice be discontinued
except when a member requests a recorded vote.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without
dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
7. Approval of Check Registers
Acting President Humphrey recommended approval of the check
registers as submitted by the Office of the Vice President
Finance (filed in permanent minutes).
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the check registers be approved as
submitted.
8. Transfer of Funds
Mr. Humphrey reported the following transfers of funds:
#255 $1000 from the Contingency Reserve, Instruction,
Nevada Southern University, to School of Fine Arts
to provide additional funds for wages.
Mr. Humphrey also recommended approval by the Board of the
following transfers of funds from the Contingency Reserve:
#260 $2575 from the Contingency Reserve, Instruction,
University of Nevada to Orvis School of Nursing
to provide funds for videotapes ($1200) and hono-
rarium for a Physiology Lecturer ($1375).
#262 $14,040 from Contingency Reserve, University of
Nevada to Property, Fidelity and Liability Insur-
ance Premiums account to provide funds for oper-
ating.
#263 $7500 from Contingency Reserve, University of
Nevada to Postage to provide additional operating
funds.
#264 $5000 from Contingency Reserve, University of Nevada
to Central Office Services to provide additional
operating funds.
#265 $3960 from Contingency Reserve, NSU to Property,
Fidelity and Liability Insurance Premiums account
to provide additional operating funds.
#269 $5225 from Contingency Reserve, NSU to School of
Social Science to provide for a 1/2 year profes-
sional contract.
#270 $5550 from Contingency Reserve, NSU to School of
Education to provide for a 1/2 year professional
contract.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the fund transfers be approved.
Mr. Humphrey also noted that $3810.86 is required for the
1/9 matching of the National Defense Student Loan Program
and $1023.82 for the Nursing Student Loan Program at Nevada
Southern. He recommended that $2000 be transferred from
the David Russell Loan Fund (1-61-5001) and $2834.68 from
the Garvey Rhodes Loan Fund (1-61-5006).
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above fund transfer be approved.
Mr. Humphrey requested the Board approve the addition to
the agenda of consideration of distribution of funds re-
maining in the Laboratory of Human Development account.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without disent that the item be added to the agenda and
the following distribution of the remaining funds be
approved as recommended by Mr. Humphrey:
$1709.85 be made available to NSU for campaign
purposes of the Performing Arts Center.
$2246.04 be made available to the Department of
Anatomy, University of Nevada, thereby conforming
to the intent of the gifts from the Hancock Founda-
tion and from Dr. Peter Frandsen.
9. Graduate Assistant Salaries
Mr. Humphrey reported that Graduate Assistants are present-
ly paid $2300 plus a waiver of fees for 9 months of service.
This assumes that they will devote approximately 1/2 time
to their assignments. Second year Graduate Assistants are
paid $2500 and third year $2700. He recommended that these
salaries be raised $200 annually, effective 1968-69. This
8.6% adjustment is similar to the adjustment in base re-
ceived in 1967-68 by professional faculty. Mr. Humphrey
noted that this increase will cost the University of Nevada
budget approximately $20,000 (100 GAs x $200) and the NSU
budget $3000 (15 GAs x $200). The cost will be absorbed
when the tentative work program is revised either by use
of contingency reserves or reallocations.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
10. Proposal for Commencement Date, 1969, NSU
Mr. Humphrey reported that Chancellor Moyer has requested
that the 1969 date for Nevada Southern's Commencement be
established and has given as his first choice Saturday,
June 7, and second choice is Thursday, June 5. Mr.
Humphrey noted that the University of Nevada calendar
already schedules Commencement on Saturday, June 7, 1969
and therefore recommended that the Nevada Southern Uni-
versity's Commencement be scheduled for Thursday, June 5,
1969.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
Mr. Humphrey also suggested to the Regents that henceforth
each University President be responsible for Commencement
on his respective Campus and the Chancellor as Chief
System Officer be present only as a representative of the
System. By consensus, this suggestion was approved.
11. Proposal to Rename the Journalism Building (University of
Nevada)
Mr. Humphrey noted that several activities from the Student
Affairs Office will soon occupy the Journalism building
(Financial Aids, Graduate Placement, Veterans' Affairs,
Counseling and Testing and the Foreign Student Adviser)
and recommended that the building be designated the Student
Services Center.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
12. Utility Easement (University of Nevada)
Mr. Pine reported that the Sierra Pacific Power Company has
requested an easement 100 feet long for a gas line to pro-
vide service to the Historical Society building. Mr.
Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the easement be granted as recommended.
13. Planters at Entrance of Jot Travis Union (University of
Nevada)
Mr. Pine reported that the Jot Travis Union Board has
requested approval of the placement of planters in front
of the two front entrances on the northeast side of the
building. The estimated cost is $1500 for which Student
Union funds are available. Mr. Humphry noted that
Chancellor Miller has endorsed this request and he recom-
mended approval by the Board.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, car-
ried without dissent that the above recommendation be
approved.
14. Property Offered for Sale to the University of Nevada
(a) Mr. Pine reported that Realtor Sid Robinson has offered
32,171 sq. ft. of property west of the Water Resources
building at 1661 North Virginia Street. He noted that
this is on the west side of the street. Improvements
consist of a 38 year old house and the total price is
$60,000.
Mr. Humphrey stated that neither he nor Chancellor
Miller recommended acceptance of the offer.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the offer be rejected.
(b) Mr. Pine reported that Mrs. F. Meng, 1001 North Sierra
Street, has again offered her property for sale. Mr.
Humphrey stated that neither he nor Chancellor Miller
recommended acceptance of the offer.
(c) Mr. Pine reported that the appraisal on the Bradley-
Drendel property has been completed. Mr. Pine stated
that both he and Dr. Miller had carefully reviewed
this matter and do not recommend acquisition of the
property because of the separation of the land from
the main Campus by a major 4-lane thoroughfare,
which will present not only access problems but pos-
sibly also problems concerning the safety of students
and others who might use University buildings on this
property. Mr. Humphrey recommended that the offer
be rejected.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott,
carried without dissent that the offer be rejected
at this time.
15. Bid Openings
Mr. Pine reported that the State Planning Board has opened
bids for the extension of the central heat plant at the
University of Nevada and has recommended that the contract
be awarded to the low bidder, Hillcrest Plumbing, in the
amount of $236,350.
Mr. Humphrey recommended that the Board of Regents concur
in the award of the contract as noted above.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
Mr. Westfall reported that bids for the enclosure of the
patio in Frazier Hall for the television studio were
opened on February 8 as follows:
Kalb Construction $23,986
Tiberti Construction 22,300
UTE, Inc. 24,325
Argus Construction 21,970
Rishling 23,693
Fred Stone Construction 21,847
Rem Construction 25,675
Mr. Westfall stated that both he and Chancellor Moyer recom-
mend acceptance of the bid of Fred Stone Construction
Company, Inc. in the amount of $21,847. Mr. Humphrey recom-
mended award of the contract as noted above.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
Dr. White stated that she did not feel that it was sufficiently
clear to all those present just what action the Board had taken
concerning administrative reorganization. Discussion revealed
a consensus on the part of the Regents that they had not adopted
a plan of organization as proposed in either the majority or
minority report. Mr. Hug added that key point was that the
Board had gone on record as approving a Statewide System but
with maximum autonomy for each Campus and it was now important
that the Board further resolve the problems by deciding how
they wish to operate within the framework.
16. Stock Transfer
Mr. Humphrey requested the adoption of the following resolu-
tion to allow for the transfer of stock received from the
Anna Lander Mc Donnell estate:
RESOLUTION #68-2
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada has received 260
shares Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company common stock,
certificates P61084/5 and P0195434; 398 shares Standard
Oil of New Jersey capital stock, certificates PH
25199/201 and PF 35183; 285 shares Pullman, Inc.
capital stock, certificates N379192/3 and NF580194;
1496 shares of Sears Roebuck & Co. common stock
certificates L2-013686/99 and L1-022338; and
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada has received cash
in the sum of $70,781.96;
WHEREAS, the above mentioned stock is to be transferred
in accordance with the terms of the endowment agree-
ment; and
WHEREAS, the above mentioned stock and cash is a gift
of the Estate of Anna Lander Mc Donnell to the Uni-
versity of Nevada for the support of the Center for
Western North American Studies;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of
Regents, University of Nevada does hereby authorize
Acting President Neil D. Humphrey to transfer the
above mentioned shares of common and capital stock
to Tahoe & Co., the nominee of the Trust Department
of the First National Bank of Nevada and to sign
the necessary stock powers.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, car-
ried without dissent that the above resolution be adopted.
17. Nevada Educational Development Council
Mr. Humphrey reported that the University of Nevada is cur-
rently represented on this Council by Chancellors Miller
and Moyer with Regent Al Seeliger serving on the Council
in a separate capacity. Mr. James Butler, President of
the Council, has requested that the University designate
a member to serve on the Steering Committee. Mr. Humphrey
recommended that Mr. Seeliger be so designated.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
18. ROTC at Nevada Southern University
Mr. Humphrey referred to the report of the Nevada Southern
University Ad Hoc Committee to study ROTC, which had been
transmitted with the Board agenda as an informational
item. (Report attached to permanent minutes.) Mr. Humphrey
recommended that no action be taken at this time but that
the subject be rescheduled for action at the April meeting
after allowing the Nevada Southern University Faculty
Senate adequate time for review of the Committee recom-
mendations.
19. Nevada Community College
Mr. Humphrey reported that the study had continued con-
cerning the definition of Associate of Arts degree and
submitted a letter from Dr. James Bemis, Northwest Associ-
ation of Secondary and Higher Schools, in which he stated
that an Associate of Science or Associate of Arts degree
is normally given by a Junior College, a Community College
or a 4-year College, from which, Mr. Humphrey stated, can
be concluded that an Associate Degree is clearly a colle-
giate level degree.
Mr. Seeliger requested that this information be forwarded
to the State Board of Education.
Mr. Humphrey then reported that negotiations are proceed-
ing with Nevada Community College. He stated that Dr.
Voris had met with both him and Dr. Gorrell on January
29 and it was agreed that Dr. Voris would draw a letter
of intent, that would satisfy the Board of Nevada Community
College as to what they wished to contract for beginning
in Fall, 1968. Mr. Humphrey stated that the University
is now waiting for the letter of intent from Dr. Voris.
20. Report of the Investment Advisory Committee Meeting of
January 12, 1968
Mr. Humphrey referred to the minutes of the Committee
which had been transmitted to the Board with the agenda
material and recommended approval. The minutes are as
follows:
The Committee met at 12:00 noon in the Hardy Room, Jot
Travis Student Union. Present were: Public Member Julius
Bergen, and Board Members Procter R. Hug, Jr., Mrs. Molly
Magee and Paul Mc Dermott. Also present were: Board of
Regents Chairman Fred M. Anderson and Acting President
Neil D. Humphrey. Representing First National Bank of
Nevada were: Mr. R. O. Kwapil, Vice President and Senior
Trust Officer, and Mr. Walter D. Bradley, Trust Officer.
Mr. Procter Hug presided.
Mr. Kwapil and Mr. Bradley reviewed the current status of
the investment fund -- indicating that the trend of bond
prices had not been too satisfactory, but that stocks,
especially blue chip, had been doing well. They felt that
there might be a future buying opportunity, and that present
short term moneys, mostly in U. S. Government securities
(some in General Motors Acceptances, soon to come due) be
held for such an opportunity.
Mrs. Magee asked if it were permissible to invest in land
and suggested that the Attorney General might be requested
to deliver an opinion which might assist the Board in
establishing policy.
Dean Weems suggested the advisability of a small commitment
in General Telephone and Electronics Convertible Bonds.
Mrs. Magee moved, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, that the
proceeds of the General Motors Acceptance be placed in
short term United States securities with the exception of
up to $50,000 to be used to purchase General Telephone
and Electronics Convertible Bonds. Motion passed.
Mr. Bradley indicated that Life Insurance stocks were cur-
rently depressed, but showing some signs of revival, and
may be a good buy soon. He said the Transamerica Corpora-
tion, owner of Occidental Insurance Company, was considered
a good possibility.
Mr. Bergen moved, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, that Inter-
national Harvester holdings be sold and White Motor
Corporation be purchased with the proceeds. Motion carried.
A discussion was held on meeting policy. It was generally
agreed that it would be desirable to hold the Investment
Advisory Committee meetings on the same weekends the Board
of Regents meets in Reno. However, because there was no
general agreement as to an appropriate day or time of day
to meet (possibilities: Thursday noon, Thursday evening,
Friday noon, Friday evening, Saturday noon) no final
policy decision was made.
It was agreed to meet next in Reno on Saturday, March 9,
at 12:00 noon.
Meeting adjourned at 1:40 P.M.
Robert C. Weems, Jr.
Acting Secretary
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
without dissent that the minutes of the meeting be approved
as distributed.
21. NSU Student Hospitalization Insurance
Mr. Humphrey reported that Chancellor Moyer has recommended
a voluntary program of student hospitalization insurance
at a premium of $10 per semester. An explanation of cover-
age was presented and is filed with the permanent minutes.
Mr. Humphrey recommended approval of the program, effective
immediately.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the recommendation be approved.
22. NSU Student Activity Fee
Mr. Humphrey reported that Chancellor Moyer has recommended
a $5 per semester increase in the CSNS compulsory fee to
cover the cost of football at NSU. This would raise the
student activity fee at NSU from $17 to $22 effective Fall
1968. Mr. Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
For the Board's information, Mr. Humphrey also submitted
a comparison of the present student fee schedule and the
Fall, 1968, schedule (filed with permanent minutes).
23. Changes in Nomenclature of Academic Units and Titles, NSU
Mr. Humphrey submitted to the Board recommendations from
Nevada Southern that the schools on that Campus be desig-
nated as Colleges and the Directors be designated Deans,
effective July 1, 1968. Mr. Humphrey recommended the
changes be approved as requested except that redesignation
of the General and Technical Institute as a College of
General Studies be deferred until the March meeting of
the Board to allow time for additional information to be
presented.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendations be approved,
and effective July 1, 1968 the academic units be designated
as follows:
College of Fine Arts, to be headed by a Dean,
College of Humanities, to be headed by a Dean,
College of Science and Math, to be headed by a Dean,
College of Business, to be headed by a Dean,
College of Education, to be headed by a Dean,
College of Social Sciences, to be headed by a Dean,
and the titles of the Coordinator of Graduate
Studies be changed to Dean of Graduate Studies,
and the Dean of Faculty be changed to Vice
Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
24. NSU Alumni Association Constitution
Mr. Humphrey transmitted to the Board for information a
copy of the constitution recently adopted by the Nevada
Southern University Alumni Association (filed with perma-
nent minutes).
25. American Federation of Teachers, NSU
Mr. Humphrey transmitted a copy of a memorandum from
Chancellor Moyer concerning the organization of a chapter
of the AFT at Nevada Southern University and their request
for official recognition. Mr. Humphrey noted that this
matter has been referred to the Attorney General by Dr.
Moyer for advice on the legal implications of offical
recognition and recommended that no action be taken until
that advice had been received.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, car-
ried without dissent that the above recommendation be
approved.
26. New Graduate Programs, University of Nevada
Mr. Humphrey asked Chancellor Miller to present the pro-
posals for new graduate programs.
Master of Arts in Philosophy
Chancellor Miller reviewed the procedure which this pro-
posal has followed and stated that in addition to the
criteria covered in the detailed proposal (copy on file
in the President's Office) this program is a natural out-
growth of the strength of the Department at the under-
gradute level, it does not duplicate programs on the NSU
Campus and the program is in accord with the master plan-
ning for the U. N. Campus. Mr. Humphrey recommended ap-
proval of the program effective with the Fall semester
1968-69.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the proposed Master of Arts in
Philosophy be approved, effective Fall semester 1968-69.
Ph. D. in Biology
Chancellor Miller reviewed the procedure this proposal had
followed and stated that the criteria detailed above also
applied to the proposed doctoral program in the Department
of Biology. (Copy of detailed proposal on file in the
President's Office.) Mr. Humphrey recommended approval
of the program effective with the Fall semester 1968-69.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, car-
ried without dissent that the proposed Ph. D. in Biology
be approved, effective Fall semester 1968-69.

Mr. Humphrey stated that the Radiolocal Laboratory at
Nevada Southern had been constructed with the proceeds of
the sale of Revenue Certificates in the amount of $2 mil-
lion, authorized by the Board in 1965. He noted that this
account is now to be closed and there remains a surplus of

LUTIONS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the resolution be adopted as recom-
mended.
29. Assembly Resolution Re. Medical School
Mr. Humphrey spoke of the resolution introduced in the

which has been called for Tuesday, February 13, and to in-
form the Legislature that the University wishes to continue
the study with a report to be made to the Regents and then
to the 1969 Session of the Legislature.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
unanimously that the Administration be authorized to ex-
press to the Legislature, at the hearing on Tuesday,
February 13, that the University believes it has proceeded
in good faith and within the authorization of the resolu-
tion of the 1967 Legislature to conduct a feasibility
study of the proposed Medical School without the use of

tion to proceed, if permitted, with the study, with the
results to be made available to the 1969 Session of the
Legislature.
