College of Agriculture

membership, Dean Bohmont requested and Dr. Armstrong rec-
ommended that Mr. Fred Harris of Elko, Nevada, be invited
to serve.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that the Committee membership be approved and
that the President be authorized to issue the invitation.
9. Student Affairs Committee
Mrs. Magee presented the minutes of the meeting held on
January 29, 1964 as follows:
The Committee met in the President's home beginning at
7:30 P.M. on the above date. Present were: Regents Magee,
Chairman; Anderson (representing Mr. Jacobsen); Davis and
Hug. Also present were Dean Basta and President Armstrong.
The meeting was called to consider the matter of the pro-
posed Housemother requirement for fraternities referred to
it by the Board of Regents on January 25, 1964, with power
to act.
Dean Basta, at the request of the Chairman, reviewed the
reasons for the original recommendation made in 1962 by
the Office of Student Affairs, which led to the action of
the Board of Regents on October 6 1962, as follows:
"Each fraternity be required to have a Housemother or
a Graduate Assistant as a requirement for an approved
University residence, to become effective 1964-65."
The basic reason for this recommendation was the fact that
the acquisition of additional dormitories by the University
would make it possible to require all students, both men and
women, under the age of 21, to live in University approved
residences, including fraternities and sororities, unless
their homes were in Reno. Accordingly, it is desirable
that supervision become a requirement for all University
approved residences at this time.
Mrs. Magee reported that she had had a number of telephone
conversations with Presidents and Officers of the Frater-
nity Mothers' Clubs, and found that most of them were in
agreement with the policy of requiring adult supervision
in fraternity houses. She reported also that Mr. Swobe
had suggested a possible modification of the present policy
statement which would make optional either a qualified adult
in residence, or three alumni advisors charged with the
responsibility to supervise the fraternity.
President Armstrong pointed out that some form of adult
supervision is a protection for the fraternity against
adverse criticism.
Dean Basta reported that a recent survey made by his office
indicated that 11 of 15 western Universities have adult
supervision in fraternity houses.
Review of the letter of opinion from the Office of the
Attorney General concerning the University's responsibil-
ities in loco parentis confirms the fact that while the
University undoubtedly has a moral and ethical responsi-
bility to take all reasonable precautions for the health
and welfare of its students, it does not have a legal
responsibility in this regard for students living in fra-
ternity houses.
After further discussion it was agreed that the fraterni-
ties should be given an opportunity to demonstrate their
ability to provide adequate supervision in their houses
under a somewhat modified plan, to be effective this Fall.
Then, at such time as the completion of the scheduled
dormitory makes it possible for the University to require
all students under the age of 21 to live in University sup-
ervised residences, we can re-examine the matter to deter-
mine how successfully the fraternities have carried out
this responsibility.
On motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Anderson, the fol-
lowing policy statement was unanimously approved by the
Committee:
"The fraternities and the University share a mutual
concern for the health, safety, and welfare of student
fraternity members. We recognize and commend the
mature and responsible attitudes already amply demon-
strated by our fraternities, both through undergradu-
ate and alumni members. Accordingly, we readily accept
the offered cooperation and self-regulation by our
fraternities, and propose to extend to them the op-
portunity to continue to demonstrate the ability to
provide the necessary supervision of their own houses
for our mutual benefit.
"Accordingly, exercising the authority delegated to
this Committee by the Board of Regents at its meeting
on January 25, 1964, we hereby modify the action of
the Board of Regents taken on October 6, 1962, whereby
each fraternity is to be required 'to have a House-
mother or a Graduate Assistant as a requirement for
an approved University resident, to become effective
1964-65', as follows:
"Effective with the beginning of the Fall semester
1964-65, and thereafter,
(1) Any fraternity, in order to be approved by the
University of Nevada as a University residence,
shall provide adult supervision within its prem-
ises mutually acceptable to the Office of Student
Affairs and the fraternity consisting of:
(a) A qualified adult residing in the fraternity
house; or
(b) A group of alumni, not less than three, ap-
pointed by the Fraternity Alumni Associa-
tion.
(2) Such supervision shall be conducted pursuant to
rules and regulations prescribed by the Office
of Student Affairs."
It was agreed that the Presidents of the Interfraternity
Councils, both undergraduate and alumni, and appropriate
Officers, undergraduate and alumni, of each of the fra-
ternities, shall be immediately notified of this statement
of policy.
Meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles J. Armstrong
Acting Secretary
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously to accept the minutes as presented.
10. Building Committee Meeting, February 24, 1964
Dr. Anderson discussed the minutes as follows:
Dr. Anderson called the meeting to order at 8:05 P.M. in the
Tahoe Room of the Jot Travis building.
Regents present were: Dr. Anderson, Dr. Lombardi, Mr. Hug
and Mr. Jacobsen. University staff present were: Mr.
Humphrey and Mr. Rogers. Architects' representatives were:
Mr. Selden and Mr. Henderson of the firm of Selden and
Stewart.
(1) Dormitory - Cemetery Area
The preliminary plans for the 8-story Dormitory were
presented by Mr. Selden. He answered questions of the
Board. The Regents were particularly concerned with
the esthetic qualities of the building and were assured
by Mr. Selden that it would be a compatible building
with the general area. He explained that they had
picked up the brick and the lines of the White Pine
Hall on the exterior of the new Dormitory. It was
determined to place the necessary conduit in the
structure so that at a later date a decision could be
made as to the occupancy of the building, and thereby
the necessary signalling devices could be installed.
The preliminary plans show rooms for 560 students.
Mr. Selden stated that the construction budget was
tight. After considerable discussion a motion was
made by Mr. Jacobsen and seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
which passed unanimously that the preliminary plans
as presented be approved.
Regent Ray Germain was not present, but in a telephone
conversation Mr. Rogers was assured that he was in
favor of the approval of the preliminary plans.
(2) Purchase of Adjacent Lane
Mr. Rogers reported to the Committee that occasionally
people have contacted the University requesting infor-
mation as to the possibility of the University purchas-
ing their property. Since some of the property is
located in an area shown to be acquired to implement
the Master Plan, a policy on this matter should be re-
quested of the Board. Mr. Rogers stated that he felt
that since small sums could be obligated for the pur-
chase of such property, and that by purchasing small
parcels in various blocks of the area to be obtained
to implement the Master Plan, that the possibility of
a land developer utilizing the property would be les-
sened. Some housing could be made available on a
short-term basis to new faculty members when they
arrive in the area. If houses were available they
could have the first year to become acquainted with
the area and possibly make a better arrangement for
rental or purchase of housing. The Regents desire to
discuss this at the next Building Committee meeting.
(3) Widening North Virginia Street
There was a short discussion as to the desirability of
assisting the State Highway Department in the widening
of North Virginia Street. This matter is to be studied
and discussed at a later Building Committee meeting.
(4) Land-Use Changes - Las Vegas Campus
Mr. Rogers informed the Regents that the Clark County
Planning Commission had sent to the University a notice
of public hearing on the following:
(a) Case ZC-6-64, which is a request of the Board of
Regents that certain properties on the south side
of Flamingo Road be rezoned from R-1 to C-1 (Local
Business).
(b) Case ZC-8-64 is a request to reclassify from R-4
to R-1 some property east of Maryland Parkway and
north of Tropicana Road. This property would be
southeast of the University Campus and since the
classification was requested from R-4 to R-1,
which would be more desirable from the University
standpoint, the Regents agreed that no protest
should me made.
(c) Case ZC-9-64 is a request to reclassify from R-4
to C-2 (General Commercial), that property start-
ing 288 feet north of Tropicana Road on the east
side of Maryland Parkway and at a depth of 300
feet. This property also is located southeast of
the Campus and is not directly across Maryland
Parkway from the Campus. After examination of
those things allowed C-2 (Commercial), the Regents
agreed that this land change should not be pro-
tested.
Meeting adjourned at 11:05 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
James D. Rogers
University Engineer
Dr. Anderson asked for any discussion on item (1) Dormitory-
Cemetery area. Mr. Hancock reported that the northern group
of the Planning Board had approved the preliminary plans
subject to study of four items: mechanical ventilation,
sidewalk pattern, roof treatment on the lounge, and interior
decor of the individual rooms. Dr. Anderson discussed the
possibility of design to permit use of the lounge area for
classrooms if needed. It was pointed out that such arrange-
ment might be used for classes for closed circuit televi-
sion. No action was taken.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously to approve the preliminary plans, as recommend-
ed by the Building Committee.
Item (2) on Purchase of Adjacent Land was held over until
the next meeting of the Building Committee, as noted in the
minutes.
Item (3) Widening North Virginia Street was discussed. Mr.
Hancock pointed out that the Stadium plans include two high-
way connections and that the Planning Board advises the
widening of Virginia Street, as well as that it be abandoned
as a highway. The Roads and Streets Master Plan also shows
it as a collector. However, a meeting with Highway person-
nel brought no definite information. There being no objec-
tion, the Chairman referred the matter back to the Building
Committee for conference with the Planning Board and Highway
Officials, to be presented to the Regents for consideration
at their next meeting.
Referring to item (4) Land-Use Changes, Las Vegas, case ZC-
6-64 ((a) in minutes) action was postponed until a meeting
can be arranged with Clark County Commissioners and the
County Planning Commissioners. It was agreed to try to
set such a meeting in Las Vegas at noon on April 25, the
date on which the Board of Regents will be meeting there.
(b) and (c) were discussed and no change desired in the
Building Committee's recommendations.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously to approve the minutes and to adopt the recommenda-
tions in the minutes of the Building Committee meeting of
February 24, 1964, with the amendment that the meeting be
arranged as called for in item (3) Widening of North Virgin-
ia Street. Mr. Hancock was asked to arrange the meeting.
The meeting recessed at 11:50 A.M. for a tour of Newlands Field
Station Experiment Farm and for luncheon. The recessed meeting
was called to order by the Chairman at 2:40 P.M.
11. Building Committee Meeting of March 27, 1964

(2) Property Purchase Policy
Present Armstrong reported that the Attorney General
has expressed some reservations regarding the Univer-
sity's legal authority to acquire real property.
Therefore, he recommended that the Committee take
under advisement the written proposal on Property
Purchase Policy, which was distributed to Committee
members. The Committee agreed to postpone considera-
tion of this matter.
(3) Anelli Property, Reno
President Armstrong distributed a progress report on
the actions taken to date regarding the possible pur-
chase of the Anelli property north of the Reno Campus.
Action: Mr. Jacobsen moved, Dr. Lombardi, seconded,
that the Committee recommend: (1) that the Univer-
sity wait for an opinion from the Attorney General
and, if favorable, to proceed by purchasing an option
from the Board of Regents Special Projects Fund, (2)
if the opinion is unfavorable, the Administration be
authorized to determine if a friend of the University
would option the Anelli property and hold it for the
University, (3) if this is not possible, the sellers
be informed that the University cannot enter into an
agreement. The motion passed.
(4) The Herman Property, Reno
President Armstrong distributed copies on an offer
from Mrs. Mariana Herman to sell to the University
the Rancho San Rafael property northwest of the Reno
Campus. The Committee asked President Armstrong to
have his staff pursue this offer to determine if any
action can be taken.
(5) Radiological Health Facility, Las Vegas
President Armstrong presented a written report on
negotiations with the Federal government regarding
lease of the Radiological Health Facility on the
Nevada Southern Campus at Las Vegas.
Action: Mr. Germain moved, Mr. Jacobsen seconded,
that the Committee recommend Board approval of the
President's recommendations as follows:
(1) The Board of Regents (in Committee) authorize
acceptance of Government's $284,700 - $50,000
proposal if the following offer (#2) is rejected
by the Government.
(2) Counter-offer to lease at $284,700 for the ten
years and $62,300 per year for the option peri-
ods. This, if accepted, would add $123,000 to
the total during the option period.
(3) That any agreement specify that the charge for
mechanical and building maintenance be subject
to re-negotiation for the option periods, such
negotiation to consider actual cost of providing
the services during the previous three year per-
iod. Should agreement not be reached between the
University and the Government the matter shall be
submitted for arbitration.
(4) The Government has (by telegram received 3-26-64)
inserted the following language in the agreement:
"Prior to issuance of the University Revenue Cer-
tificates the Government shall have the right to
approve the Certificates' interest rate. In the
event the Government considers the interest rate
excessive, this agreement shall be rendered null
and void." This should be changed to have the
second sentence read: "Any interest rate exceed-
ing four percent will render this agreement null
and void." The motion passed.
(6) Capital Improvements Program for 1965-67 Biennium
President Armstrong distributed a proposed Capital
Improvements Program for the Reno and Las Vegas Cam-
puses for 1965-67. The State Planning Board has
requested the University's recommendations by March
31, 1964. University representatives will meet with
the State Planning Board on this matter on April 24,
1964. The Committee compared the proposed program
with the forecasts contained in the Master Plan.
Action: Mr. Jacobsen moved, Mr. Germain seconded,
recommending that the priority list for Nevada South-
ern be approved as presented, except that the proposed
Dormitory addition be listed as a separate category
and assigned priority number one in that category.
The motion passed.
Action: Mr. Jacobsen moved, Dr. Lombardi seconded,
recommending that the priority list for the Reno
Campus be approved as presented, except that the

mistration building design become priority number six.
The motion passed.

Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the Capital Improvements Program be ap-
proved to be forwarded to the State Planning Board for
consideration at its meeting on April 24, at which the
University will be represented.
Right-of-way for sewer line at the 4-H Camp at Lake Tahoe
was discussed. Mr. Rogers reviewed the situation, and
showed the Regents where the Douglas County Sewer District
desires to put the line, near the beach. He thought this
proposal would be the only way to solve the sewer problem
at the 4-H Camp. He pointed out that, in keeping with the
legislative act governing the 4-H Camp, the University can
negotiate, but the Legislature would grant the easement.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried unani-
mously that the recommendation of the Building Committee
be approved, and that the Administration be authorized to
negotiate with the Douglas County Sewer District.
Mr. Rogers reviewed item (9) Water Rights at Newlands Field
Station. By Court direction, the Field Station will pay $54
per acre now to the Truckee Carson Irrigation District which
is applied to operating cost at the rate of $4 per acre per
year until used, then the Field Station wil pay $4 per acre
per year.

Contract has been awarded to Harker & Harker. The
Notice to Proceed was issued March 19, 1964; work is
proceeding in accordance with the contract documents.
In accordance with the request from the University
Engineer, we are investigating the possibility of in-
creasing the scope of the contract by change order to
include electrical connections to Stewart and Morrill
Halls.
(3) Physical Education Facility, Phase I, Reno Campus
Final plans for the first contract concerning earth-
work on this project were received on March 3. Plan
checking is nearly completed, and we anticipate being
able to advertise for bids for this work shortly after
April 1, 1964.
(4) Social Science Building, Nevada Southern
This office has recommended the award of contract to
J. A. Tiberti for the base bid and Alternates "A", "E",
"F", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "P", "S" and "S-2", for a
total contract price of $924,800. This recommendation
has been approved by the Northern Executive Committee
of the State Planning Board, and we anticipate approval
by the Nevada State Planning Board on or before April
1, 1964, at which time a contract will be executed for
the work, anticipated to be completed in approximately
15 months.
(5) Site Development, Nevada Southern
Of the appropriation of $100,000 by the 1963 Session of
the Legislature, $12,000 has been obligated subject to
State Planning Board approval for the construction of
a water line to the Dormitory area. It is anticipated
that final plans on this work will be completed by
April 6, and the project will be put out to bid prior
to April 15. In addition to this obligation, we are
reserving $8400 for the extension of the water line
from Flamingo Road to the University property line in
joint venture with the two churches. Investigations
as to the feasibility of this connection are being
studied. $52,600 has been obligated for the oustide
utilities and landscaping in relation to the Social
Science building. This work will be accomplished with
the approval of the State Planning Board by J. A.
Tiberti.

to a reanalysis of the possibility of incorporating
mechanical ventilation in the building, reanalyzing the
roof treatment on the lounge wing, circulation patterns
on the sidewalks, and restudying the decor of individ-
ual rooms. It is anticipated that the architects will
be authorized to proceed with the final working draw-
ings on or before April 1, 1964.

13. Budget Hearings
Certain of the Regents expressed a desire to meet with Deans
and other Administrators from time to time. President Arm-
strong suggested that one way in which this might be accom-
plished would be for the Deans to be invited to meet with
the Regents to discuss their budget requests. There was
general agreement that this be done.

tion of the Administration of the University, as follows:
Regents

Division Adminstr
Faculty Dean/Staff
Recommendation: At present the President has 16 Administra-
tive Officers reporting directly to him. I believe that in
the interests of greater efficiency and of providing needed
opportunity for the President to devote more time to the
increasing demands of external affairs, we should implement
the recommendations of the Educational Planning Committee,
page 23, and create the administrative structure described
above. This will also give recognition and greater auton-
omy to the Las Vegas Campus, since the Chancellor would
perform many of the present duties of the President. I rec-
ommend that the Board authorize this reorganization to be
effective during the coming year, as soon as Finance should
become effective as of July 1, 1964. For the Chancellor
positions, I propose to request the University Council,
Reno, to appoint or elect a faculty committee advisory to
me on the screening and selection of candidates for the
Reno position, and for the Las Vegas position, a similar
faculty advisory committee through the Division Council at
Nevada Southern.
Mr. Hug recommended on behalf of the Committee on Regula-
tions and Salaries that the plan be approved.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the reorganization plan be approved.
16. Resolution Re: W. Scott Hill Gift
Dr. Armstrong explained that it is a requirement of the
First National Bank that formal resolution be adopted by
the Board of Regents prior to sale of stock for the Univer-
sity. To carry out the wishes of W. Scott Hill, President
Armstrong recommended adoption of the following resolution:
RESOLUTION #64-3
Adopted by the Board of Regents, University of Nevada
at a meeting held March 28, 1964, at Fallon Nevada.
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada owns 13 shares of
common stock in the General Electric Company; and
WHEREAS, this stock was a gift from W. Scott Hill,
Lyons Plains Road, Weston, Connecticut, for the Library
Book Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the Board of Regents, University of Nevada, does
hereby authorize President Charles J. Armstrong to sell
the 13 shares of common stock in the General Electric
Company, to sign the necessary stock power and to de-
posit the proceeds of the sale in the Book Fund (1-51-
4001).
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unanimous-
ly that the Resolution #64-3 be adopted.
17. Housing and Home Finance Agency Projects
Mr. Humphrey discussed the following resolutions, recommend-
ed by President Armstrong, in connection with construction
of Dining and Dormitory facilities:
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that Resolution #64-4 be adopted as follows:
RESOLUTION #64-4
RESOLUTION APPROVING LOAN AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada has heretofore filed
with the United States of America an application for a
loan to provide construction of a Dormitory to house
approximately 60 men and women students and Dining
facilities to accommodate approximately 150 persons,
together with necessary appurtenant facilities for each
building, at the Las Vegas Campus of the University of
Nevada, located near Las Vegas, Nevada (CH-Nev-7(DS)),
and the United States of America, acting by and through
the Housing and Home Finance Administrator, has tenta-
tively offered to make the requested loan and has trans-
mitted for consideration a proposed Loan Agreement; and
WHEREAS, said Loan Agreement has been duly read in open
meeting of the Board of Regents of the University of
Nevada, fully considered in accordance with all pertin-
ent rules of procedure and legal requirements, and made
a part of the records of said Board of Regents; and
WHEREAS, it is deemed advisable and in the public in-
terest that said Loan Agreement be approved and its
execution authorized;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Regents
of the University of Nevada that said Loan Agreement
be and the same hereby is approved without reservation
or qualification.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that A. C. Grant, the Chairman of
the Board of Regents of the University of Nevada, be and
he is hereby authorized to execute said Loan Agreement,
and Alice Terry, the Secretary thereof, be and she is
hereby authorized to attest the execution of said Loan
Agreement.
Mr. Humphrey discussed the situation concerning construction
of the Dormitory in Reno. The proposed Dormitory will not
produce sufficient revenue from room rental to retire the
$2,400,000 debt. These students will, however, eat in the
Dining Commons and profits from that operation could be
cross-pledged for the Dormitory Revenue Certificate. This
had the approval of HHFA. However Dawson, Nagel, Sherman
& Howard, bonding attorneys, contend that the 1963 legis-
lation, as amended by the 1964 session, does not provide
for cross-pledging, and they propose that the 1965 session
be asked to clarify the legislation in this regard. Dr.
Armstrong recommended that the Regents approve the resolu-
tion, and that the Attorney General's Office check with the
bonding attorneys in Denver as to procedure.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that Resolution #64-5 be approved as follows,
and that the procedure outlined for clarifying the situa-
tion with Dawson, Nagel, Sherman & Howard be approved.
RESOLUTION #64-5
RESOLUTION APPROVING LOAN AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada has heretofore filed
with the United States of America an application for a
loan to provide construction of Dormitory facilities
to house approximately 280 men students and approxi-
mately 280 women students, together with necessary
appurtenant facilities, at the University of Nevada,
Reno, Nevada (CH-Nev-6(D)), and the United States of
America, acting by and through the Housing and Home
Finance Administrator, has tentatively offered to make
the requested loan and has transmitted for considera-
tion a proposed Loan Agreement; and
WHEREAS, said Loan Agreement has been duly read in open
meeting of the Board of Regents of the University of
Nevada, fully considered in accordance with all per-
tinent rules of procedure and legal requirements, and
made a part of the records of said Board of Regents; and
WHEREAS, it is deemed advisable and in the public inter-
est that said Loan Agreement is approved and its execu-
tion authorized;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Regents
of the University of Nevada that said Loan Agreement be
and the same hereby is approved without reservation or
qualification.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that A. C. Grant, the Chairman
of the Board of Regents of the University of Nevada, be
and is hereby authorized to execute said Loan Agreement,
and Alice Terry, the Secretary thereof, be and she is
hereby authorized to attest the execution of said Loan
Agreement.
18. Honorary Degrees and Distinguished Nevadan Awards
Mrs. Magee, Chairman, presented the recommendations of the
Committee as follows, and President Armstrong recommended
approval by the Board.
It was decided at the meeting of the Committee for Dis-
tinguished Nevadan Awards and Honorary Degrees held on
March 27, 1964, that recipients of these awards and degrees
would be announced at both the Reno and Las Vegas Commence-
ment ceremonies. Recipients could receive their awards or
degrees at either Campus.
It was also decided to make the pre-commencement dinner for
recipients of these awards and degrees and members of their
immediate families an annual event, to be considered part
of the regular commencement program.
The following persons have been chosen:

Ralph Willard Lattin
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the recommendations of the Committee on
Honorary Degrees and Distinguished Nevadan Awards be ap-
proved.
19. Library, Extra Help
President Armstrong presented the request of Mr. Heron for
extra help for the Library for the period July 1, 1964 to
June 30, 1965, in view of the Fleischmann Matching Book
Fund Grant. He pointed out that the ordering and processing
cost of each volume received by the Library is approximately
$6.50 as based on their 1962-63 experience. Dr. Armstrong
requested authority to transfer $4,096 from Alice Dimmitt
Endowment Income (Account #1-51-7002) and $19,918 from
Lowell Daniels Endowment Income (Account #1-51-7003) to a
new fund in Fund Group 51 entitled "Library Special Proj-
ect".
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the fund transfers be approved.

This insurance firm had proposed an agreement with the Uni-
versity of Nevada for the sale of life insurance to individ-
uals naming the University of Nevada as beneficiary. The

General and had received approval of the State Insurance
Commissioner. President Armstrong recommended approval of
the agreement.

proposals from the Nevada Public Health Association concern-
ing Nursing needs in Nevada. President Armstrong recommend-
ed that they be accepted for distribution to the Regents and
for consideration at a later meeting.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the proposals be received for administra-
tive study and later consideration by the Regents.
22. Regents' Library Fund
Regent Anderson proposed that the Regents establish a fund
to be known as the Regents' Library Fund, with the expecta-
tion that each Regent would contribute $100 for purchase of
books for the Reno Campus as part of the Fleischmann Match-
ing Book Fund Drive. He felt that this would encourage
other groups and individuals to contribute. In following
years, contributions to the fund might be used to set up a
discretionary fund for the Librarian, or for other use.
There was some discussion; no action taken.
The meeting adjourned at 3:45 P.M.
The next meeting will be held in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 25,
1964.
