BOARD OF REGENTS
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
March 9, 1968
The Board of Regents met in regular session in the Conference
Room, Sage building, Stead Campus, on Saturday, March 9, 1968.
Members present: Dr. Fred M. Anderson, Chairman
Mr. Harold Jacobsen
Dr. Louis Lombardi
Mr. Paul Mc Dermott
Mr. Albert Seeliger
Dr. Juanita White
Members absent: Mr. Thomas Bell
Mr. Archie Grant
Mr. Procter Hug, Jr.
Mrs. Molly Magee
Mr. R. J. Ronzone
Others present: Acting Chancellor Neil D. Humphrey
President N. Edd Miller, U. N.
President Donald C. Moyer, N. S. U.
Vice Chancellor Wendell A. Mordy, D. R. I.
Edward L. Pine, Acting Business Manager, U. N.
Edward Olsen, Director of Information
Daniel Walsh, Chief Deputy Attorney General
William Hancock, Director State Planning Board
Howard Barrett, Director, State Department
of Administration
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Anderson at 9:30 A.M.
1. Approval of Minutes of Previous Meeting
Upon motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, and
unanimous vote, the minutes of the meeting of February 10,
1968 were approved as distributed.
Dr. Anderson then introduced 3 students from the University of
Nevada who had requested to speak on the subject of compulsory
ROTC at the University of Nevada, Paul Strickland, Keith Lindholm
and Dan O'Bryan. The students stated that they believed they
represented the opinion of a substantial number of students con-
cerning ROTC. They stated that if ROTC is compulsory on one
Campus, it should be on both. However, they added, student
opinion should have a bearing on whatever decision is made.
Following their presentation, Dr. Anderson invited discussion
between the students and the Regents and any of the staff
present. At this point, one of the students stated that Colonel
Ralf had said that a voluntary program is feasible and believed
that it would be a better program. He further noted that ROTC
is not an academic subject and suggested that it not be counted
in the grade point average as long as it is compulsory.
Dr. Anderson asked on what grounds they were basing their con-
tention that it was non-academic. The student replied that the
grade is not based solely on text book information but on drill
proficiency and the ability to assemble and disassemble weapons.
He also stated that military officers have implied that ROTC is
not of a great deal of value in active service.
Mr. Jacobsen suggested that perhaps the students might be in-
terested in polling a number of the alumni who have already ex-
perienced ROTC to get a more accurate picture of the benefits
of ROTC.
In response to an invitation from Dr. Anderson to express his
own or faculty viewpoint, Professor Charles Ross stated that
he would prefer to wait until the issue is ready again for
formal discussion with an official recommendation from the
Military Affairs Board and/or the President.
Mr. Seeliger asked if the students felt that Physical Education
should also be on a voluntary basis. The students replied that
it should be compulsory but not be computed as part of the grade
point average.
Mr. Pine volunteered his own personal experience as a two-year
ROTC student, stating that he believed that he was able to move
from a buck private to a Lieutenant Colonel during his period of
active duty because of his experience with ROTC. Dr. Lombardi
also stated that he would not have taken ROTC while he was at
the University of Nevada had it not been compulsory; however,
he added, he believed that the experience was most beneficial
and he was grateful for the training.
Mr. Mc Dermott stated that his experience while in the service
indicated that enlisted men who had previous ROTC training
were able to qualify for promotion much faster than those who
had no ROTC training.
Dr. Anderson then thanked the students for their statements and
invited them to leave their statements with the Secretary to be
incorporated in the file.

ed that the School of Science and Mathematics has re-
quested the purchase of a turbo-molecular pump system.
Identical bids of $7117.30 were received from Welch
Scientific Company and Van Waters & Rogers. President
Moyer recommended that the purchase order be issued

the Board.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Dr. White,

follows:
American Shuffleboard $ 337.00
National Billiard 280.00
Mr. Humphrey reported that NSU Administration had
recommended award of the entire bid to National
Billiard Company, noting that the difference between
their bid and Brunswick bid was greater than indicated
due to Brunswick having "no bid" two items worth ap-
proximately $100 and also because Brunswick bid two
tables without ball return where National bid with
ball return, a difference of between $50 to $100 per
table. The recommendation of the Buyer, Director of
Student Programs, Dean of Students, Business Manager
and President of NSU was endorsed by Mr. Humphrey and
approval of the Board was requested.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Dr. White,
carried without dissent that the above recommendation
be approved and the contract issued to National

the reasons stipulated in the letter from Mr.

nent minutes).

livery. He recommended that the award be made to
Albers, Inc., the second low bidder.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissent that the above recommenda-
tions be approved.

Mr. Humphrey noted that to provide for implementation as of
the Spring semester, this catalog change had been declared
provisionally effective subject to final approval of the
Board of Regents, under the provisions of the University
Code, Section 4.4.9. Mr. Humphrey recommended approval
by the Board.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the above recommended changes be
approved.
10. Dr. Silas E. Ross, Jr., Pre-Medical Memorial Fund
Mr. Humphrey reported that upon the death of Dr. Silas E.
Ross, Jr., numerous contributions were made to the Uni-
versity of Nevada in his memory. The Ross family request-
ed that these contributions be placed in the Silas E.
Ross, Jr., M. D. Pre-Medical Memorial Fund. This fund
presently totals $2103 and there is an indication that
substantially more monies will be made available. Mr.
Humphrey added that the Ross family has requested that:
a. This fund be designated as a fund functioning as an
endowment and be administered and invested in ac-
cordance with current policies of the Board of Regents.
b. The income be distributed semi-annually by a special
Board of Trustees, consisting of S. E. Ross, Sr.,
John E. Palmer, M. D., and Ray E. Armstrong, C. P. A.,
who will make recommendations to the Board of Regents
for the benefit of the pre-medical program at the Uni-
versity of Nevada.
c. Disbursement of the corpus of the fund shall also be
possible upon the recommendation of the Board of
Trustees.
Mr. Humphrey recommended that this procedure be approved,
except that the President, U. N. be delegated by the Board
of Regents to review the proposals of the Board of Trustees
and to refer their proposals to the Board of Regents only
if he should disagree with their action.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the Board of Regents approve the
above recommendations, noting that it is assumed that
since the Board of Regents designates the first Board of
Trustees, it would also designate replacements to the
Board.
11. Proposed Change in Rates for Residence Halls
Mr. Humphrey stated that changes in rates were being propos-
ed on both Campuses and requested the two Presidents to make
the proposals.
(a) University of Nevada - President Miller noted that the
present Summer rate in the U. N. residence halls is
$5 per person per day with maid service. Participants
at some of the longer seminars and institutes wish to
bring minor children, Dr. Miller noted, and he recom-
mended a reduced rate of $2.50 per day per person for
dependents (19 years of age or less) staying in the
residence hall with their parents, provided the length
of stay is 3 weeks or longer. Mr. Humphrey endorsed
the recommendation and requested approval of the pro-
posed rate change.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissent that the above rate change
be approved.
(b) Nevada Southern University - President Moyer noted
the present schedule for less than semester occupancy
of residence halls is as follows:
1 or 2 days $3 per day
3 to 6 days $2 per day
1 to 6 days with maid service $5 per day
7 days or more $2 per day plus
meal ticket
Dr. Moyer recommended that the rate for Nevada
Southern University be changed as follows:
1st day or 1 day occupancy $3 per day
2 to 6 days $2 per day
7 days or more $2 per day plus
meal ticket
Mr. Humphrey endorsed the recommendation and requested
approval of the proposed rate change.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Dr. White,
carried without dissent that the above rate change
be approved.
12. Policy Statement on Cancellation of Financial Obligations
of Deceased Students
Mr. Humphrey reported that President Miller had recommended
that the following policy be adopted:
In the event of the death of a student, the Dean of
Students may if circumstances warrant, authorize
the cancellation of any or all financial obligations
due the University of Nevada. This policy does not
supersede existing Federal regulations governing NDSL,
Nursing, or other Federal aids already having cancel-
lation provisions.
Mr. Humphrey noted that President Moyer concurred in the
proposed policy and recommended approval by the Board.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the above policy statement be adopted,
effective immediately, applicable to both the University of
Nevada and Nevada Southern University.
13. Stead Campus Resolution
Mr. Humphrey reported that the regional representative of
the Surplus Property Division, H. E. W., has requested that
the Board take appropriate action to authorize the execu-
tion of documents pertaining to the transfer of Stead. He
recommended that the Board adopt the following resolution,
designed for that purpose:
RESOLUTION #68-4
WHEREAS, certain real property owned by the United
States, consisting of Stead Air Force Base, located
in the County of Washoe, State of Nevada, has been
declared surplus and is subject to disposal for
educational purposes by the Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, under the Federal Property
and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended,
and rules and regulations promulgated pursuant there-
to; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Regents of the University of
Nevada needs a portion of said property and can
utilize the same for educational purposes in accord-
ance with the requirement of said Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Regents of the University of
Nevada has made application to the Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare for transfer to it
of the above mentioned property for educational use
upon and subject to such exceptions, reservations,
terms, covenants, agreements, conditions and restric-
tions as the Secretary of Health, Education and
Welfare, or his authorized representative, may re-
quire in connection with the disposal of said property
under said Act and the rules and regulations issued
pursuant thereto;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That Neil D.
Humphrey, Acting Chancellor of the University of
Nevada, be and he is hereby authorized, for and
on behalf of the Board of Regents of the University
of Nevada, to do and perform any and all acts and
things which may be necessary to carry out the fore-
going resolution; including the preparing, making
and filing of plans, applications, reports and
other documents, including representations and
commitments regarding use and time within which
such use shall commence; the execution, acceptance,
delivery and recordation of agreements, deeds and
other instruments pertaining to the transfer of said
property; and the payment of any and all sums neces-
sary on account of the purchase price thereof or on
account of fees or costs incurred in connection with
the transfer of said property for surveys, title
searches, appraisals, recordation of instruments, or
escrow costs.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, car-
ried without dissent that the above resolution be adopted
as submitted.
14. Lease of Service Station, Stead Campus
Mr. Humphrey reported that one bid was received for a 5-year
lease of the service station facility at Stead Campus from
Jerry Urcheson and Lillian Killog at a rental of $.01 per
gallon of gasoline sold or $350 per month, whichever is
most. Mr. Humphrey noted that the lease has been approved
by the Federal government and he recommended its approval
by the Board.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the lease be approved as recommended.
15. Status Report on Administrative Reorganization Study
Mr. Humphrey reported that the Ad Hoc Committee on Admin-
istrative Reorganization had met on February 27, 1968
concerning the proposal presented by W. A. Mordy, Vice
Chancellor and Director of Desert Research Institute.
He noted that the University of Nevada Faculty Senate
has asked that consideration be temporarily postponed so
that the two Faculty Senates might have sufficient time
for review of the proposals. Mr. Humphrey said that
the present schedule anticipates brining this matter
back to the Board at the April meeting, if possible.
Mr. Humphrey further noted that a draft statement has
been prepared concerning a recommendation for further
definition of the duties and responsibilities of the
Chancellor and Presidents and hopefully will be brought
to the Board also at the April meeting.
16. Nevada Technical Institute
President Miller introduced Mr. Harry Wolf, Director of the
Nevada Technical Institute, who presented a report on the
2-year Associate Degree programs. Dr. Wolf stated that
presently 2-year programs are offered by the College of
Agriculture: Agricultural Aviation, Agricultural Mechanics,
Agricultural Sales, Farm and Ranch Management, and Parks
and Turf Management; College of Business Administration:
Secretarial Science; School of Home Economics: Pre-Kinder-
garten Training, Food Service Management and Fashion Trades.
The Nevada Technical Institute offers programs in Electron-
ics, Engineering Design, Law Enforcement and X-Ray Tech-
nology.
Mr. Wolf stated that there are 57 students enrolled in the
2-year programs offered by the College of Agriculture, 52
in the College of Business Administration, 49 in the School
of Home Economics, and 126 in the Nevada Technical Insti-
tute, all taking 12 or more credit hours for a total of
268 full time students.
Mr. Wolf continued by introducing his staff and showing
slides of some of the activities of the institute and of
its students. Following his presentation, the Regents
toured the Sage building, now occupied by the Desert
Research Institute, and the facilities being used by the
General University Extension and the Nevada Technical
Institute.
17. Review of Final Plans for Physical Science Complex
(Chemistry), University of Nevada
Mr. Pine presented and reviewed for the Board of Regents
the final plans for the Chemistry portion of the Physical
Science Complex. Mr. Hancock stated in reviewing the
extensive amount of work involved in this project that
Dr. Cyrus Guss should be commended for his excellent
cooperation in the planning phase. Mr. Hancock stated
that in his opinion Dr. Guss has done an outstanding job
and his contribution was significant. Mr. Pine recommend-
ed that the final plans be approved, subject to a satis-
factory check by the State Planning Board Staff.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
18. Incorporation of University of Nevada Property into City
of Reno
Mr. Pine noted that the northern part of the University of
Nevada Campus and all of the Stead Campus have been outside
the City limits. He stated that there are numerous ad-
vantages to the University to be within the City limits and
recommended that the State Planning Board and the City of
Reno be notified that the University desires to have both
Campuses within the City limits. Mr. Humphrey concurred
in the recommendation and requested approval.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
19. Requested Variance on Property Near Nevada Southern
University
Mr. Humphrey requested President Moyer to review the prob-
lems concerned with the requested variance. Dr. Moyer
stated that the Clark County Planning Commission had re-
ceived a request for a variance to construct more than
the authorized number of apartments on property adjacent
to the Nevada Southern University Campus. Dr. Moyer stated
that in response to request by NSU to defer action, the
Planning Commission informed them that the property was
already zoned R4 and approval to build apartments was grant-
ed in 1960. Therefore, it is only a question of a variance
at this point. The variance was approved by the Planning
Commission with final approval to be considered by the
Clark County Commissioners at their meeting on March 20.
Dr. Moyer pointed out that the property on which the
variance is sought is within the area already held by the
Nevada Southern Land Foundation for the future expansion
of NSU Campus and recommended that the Board of Regents
request the Clark County Commissioners to reconsider the
entire matter in light of NSU's proposed use of this land
for further Campus development. This delay might then
give the Land Foundation time to negotiate the purchase
of this and other land in that area.
In response to a question as to whether the University
might be able to acquire the property by condemnation,
Mr. Hancock stated that he has already contacted the
Attorney General's Office regarding this.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent that the Board of Regents advise the Clark
County Commissioners that it is opposed to the approval
of this variance.
20. Capital Improvement Program, 1969-71
Mr. Humphrey noted that it is necessary to update the Uni-
versity's priority list of capital improvements for sub-
mission to the State Planning Board. He submitted 3 lists
for discussion, one for the University of Nevada prepared
by President Miller, one for Nevada Southern University
prepared by President Moyer, and an integrated list for
the University System.
Mr. Humphrey stated that the first 6 projects on the
priority list had been determined by an assumption that
the University could anticipate authorization of funding
for at least the first 6 projects, although he indicated
that the Administration hopes that the State Legislature
will provide funding for more. He recommended that the
list be approved at this time, subject to revision below
priority number 6 in developing the Ten Year Budget.
There was an expression of concern that land acquisition
was placed too far down the priority list. Dr. Anderson
stated that he was especially concerned that the University
of Nevada Land Development Foundation would not be active
enough in this biennium to serve as a holding company and
suggested that land acquisition for the University of
Nevada be considered for a higher priority on the System
priority list.
There was also some discussion of the serious need for
buildings at Nevada Southern and a question was asked as
to whether the Athletic Field Development was as acutely
needed as the Life Science building.
Mr. Jacobsen moved, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, that the
1969-71 Capital Improvement Program Priority list for the
University of Nevada System be adopted with the following
amendments:
Land Acquisition, U. N., originally #15, be moved
to Priority #7.
Life Science Building, N. S. U., originally #12, be
moved to Priority #8.
Athletic Field Development, originally #7, be moved
to Priority #9.
Campus Lighting, Phase 1, N. S. U., originally #8,
be moved to Priority #10.
Lecture-Demonstration Building, (Social Science
Building), U. N., originally #9, be moved to Priority
#11.
Lighting System, Church Fine Arts, U. N., originally
#10, be moved to Priority #12.
Physical Education Facility, U. N., originally #11,
be moved to Priority #13.
Humanities Building, N. S. U., originally #13, be
moved to Priority #14.
Addition to Getchell Library, U. N., originally #14,
be moved to Priority #15.
Land Acquisition, N. S. U., to remain at Priority #16.
The amended Priority List for the University of Nevada
System is as follows:
1969-71 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
SYSTEM PRIORITY LIST
Pri Project Loc
1 Physical Science Complex (Physics) U. N.
2 Parking and Landscaping, Campus Student Union N. S. U.

24 Art and Museum Building U. N.
25 Nuclear Engineering Building U. N.
26 Addition to Scrugham Engineering U. N.
27 Humanities Building U. N.
28 Television and Communications Arts Building U. N.
Dr. Lombardi suggested that some thought be given to
dedication of a portion of out-of-state tuition revenues
for the purpose of financing capital improvements. Mr.
Humphrey suggested that it would be timely to schedule
this discussion during the Summer as part of the discus-
sion on Ten Year Budgets.
21. Stead Campus Survey
Mr. Pine reported that the survey of the Stead Campus,
authorized by the Board at an earlier meeting, has now been
completed. Mr. Pine requested that the Chancellor be
authorized to make application to the Federal government
for the transfer of 378.799 acres of land as shown on the
survey.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the Chancellor be so authorized.
22. Location of Chancellor's Office
Mr. Humphrey recommended that in order to further the recog-
nition of the Chancellor as a System Officer, that he, his
immediate staff, the Institutional Studies Office and the
Budget Office be moved off Campus. As a secondary consider-
ation, Mr. Humphrey pointed out that his staff is now locat-
ed in 3 difference offices, in 2 buildings, causing in-
efficient use of staff time. Mr. Humphrey estimated that
approximately 1500 sq. feet would be required to consoli-
date the Chancellor's staff, whereas approximately 2600
sq. feet would be released to the University of Nevada.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
unanimously that the Chancellor's Office be moved from the
Campus of the University of Nevada to downtown Reno.
Mr. Humphrey noted that several locations had been investi-
gated as being possibilities for housing the Chancellor's
Office. Among those investigated were First National Bank,
Arlington Towers, Stead Campus, Universe Life building and
the Clay Peters building. Mr. Humphrey recommended that
the Administration be authorized to enter into a lease
with Arlington Towers for approximately 1500 sq. feet at
an annual rate of approximately $9000.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, car-
ried unanimously that the Chancellor's Office be moved to
Arlington Towers and that the Administration be authorized
to lease approximately 1500 square feet at an estimated
annual rate of approximately $9000 plus moving costs.
23. Estimative Budgets for 1968 Summer Programs
Mr. Humphrey recommended approval of the Estimative Budgets
for Coaching Camp (Day), High School Journalism Institute,
Tahoe Art Camp, and Coaching Camp (Residence), as trans-
mitted with the agenda. (Budgets are filed with permanent
minutes.)
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the Estimative Budgets for the 1968
Summer Programs be approved as submitted.
24. Medical School Feasibility Study
Mr. Humphrey noted that the Legislative resolution pro-
posed to rescind the 1967 Legislative resolution concerning
a medical school feasibility study failed to pass and noted
that, therefore, the University's legal position is the
same as before the rescinding resolution was introduced.
Dr. Miller added that the feasibility study is continuing
and in light of the legislative concern, he felt it would
be helpful to the staff to have a reaffirmation of the
Regents intention to continue, and also stated that this
reaffirmation would be most beneficial in seeking planning
money.
Mr. Humphrey recommended that the medical school feasi-
bility study continue with the objective of presenting
a report to the Board of Regents in December, 1968, and
transmitting that report to the 1969 Session of the Legis-
lature. In making this recommendation, Mr. Humphrey
pointed out that funds have not yet been allocated by
the Board of Regents for the continuation of this study
and that should the present planning grant applications
not be productive prior to May 30, a further decision
concerning financing of the feasibility study will be
necessary.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the medical school feasibility study
continue with the objective of presenting the report to
the Board of Regents at the end of the year.
25. Administration of English A
Mr. Humphrey noted that English A is presently administered
at both N. S. U. and U. N. by General University Extension.
He recommended that effective July 1, 1968, this program
be administered at each institution by the English Depart-
ments. He also recommended that the $54 registration fee
for English A be deposited in a special fund on each
Campus and the teaching and administrative costs continue
to be paid from that fund. He specified that no charges
would be made against this fund except for this purpose
and that if a surplus accumulates in the fund, it will
be expended only for the improvement of instruction of
English A on each Campus.
President Miller stated that the recommendation under
consideration was simply an administrative change and
does not get at the problem of English A. A study is
now underway on the U. N. Campus and it is presently
planned to bring additional information to the Board
but that additional time was required before doing so.
President Moyer stated that there is an Ad Hoc Committee
in Clark County (consisting of University and public
school personnel) who are trying to find a way to elimi-
nate English A.
Mr. Humphrey stated that it appears that further discussion
of this matter could be scheduled in April, or no later
than May.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the recommendation concerning the
change in administration of English A be approved.
26. Chancellor's Report
(a) Regents' Policy Manual - Mr. Humphrey stated that
Mr. Grant Davis has indicated that he will have the
first draft of the Policy Manual dictated by the
first of the week of March 11. Transcription of
the draft would be assigned priority status and as
soon as the draft has received its initial editing,
it will be returned for typing so that a copy might
be distributed to the Board by the end of the month.
(b) Change in Rate for Instructional Services for Cor-
respondence Study Lessons - Mr. Humphrey submitted
a request from General University Extension that the
rate for instructional services for correspondence
study lessons be increased as follows:
(1) The rates for corrections of lessons be increased
so that the rate for lessons returned within 7
days be raised from $1.10 to $1.30; and lessons
returned after 7 days be raised from $1.00 to
$1.05.
(2) The rate for writing course syllabi be increased
from $50 per credit hour to a sliding scale of
$50-75 depending on the development of the
course syllabus.
(3) The rate for revising course syllabi be in-
creased from a sliding scale of $5-25 per credit
hour to $5-35 per credit hour depending on the
extent of the revisions.
Mr. Humphrey noted that this request for increase in
rates had been endorsed by Acting Dean Robert Gorrell
and he recommended approval, effective April 1, 1968.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott,
carried without dissent that the rate changes be
approved as requested.
(c) Capital Improvement Fee Funds - Mr. Humphrey submitted
for the information of the members of the Board, in
response to a request from Mr. Archie Grant, a recap
of the activity in the capital improvement fee funds
from July 1, 1966 through February 9, 1968. He noted
that certain of these transactions represented inter-
fund loans rather than expenditures, specifically,
the remodeling of the Post Office and the schematics
for the Animal Science Research Facility for the
University of Nevada, and the N. S. U. Campus Union
at Nevada Southern. (Recap filed in permanent min-
utes.)
(d) Bond Resolutions, Chemistry Building, NSU - Mr.
Humphrey requested that the Board of Regents authorize
the Administration to advertise and to receive bids
on April 13, 1968 for the revenue bonds for the
Chemistry building at Nevada Southern. He noted that
if the meeting date can be changed to April 6, the
bids would be advertised accordingly.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissent that the Administration be
so authorized and that the following resolutions
be adopted to provide for the issuance of the revenue
bonds and for their public sale, with the provision
that the date of the next Board meeting be changed if
feasible; otherwise, the date of April 13 be used.
