BOARD OF REGENTS
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA SYSTEM
April 5, 1979
The Board of Regents met on the above date in the Teacher
Education building, UNLV:
Members present: Mr. James L. Buchanan, II
Mr. Robert A. Cashell
Mrs. Lilly Fong
Mr. Chris Karamanos
Mrs. Molly Knudtsen
Louis E. Lombardi, M. D.
Miss Brenda D. Mason
Mr. John R. Mc Bride
Mr. John Tom Ross
Other present: Chancellor Donald H. Baepler
President William Berg
President Joseph Crowley
President Jack Davis
President Brock Dixon
President Paul Kreider
President Lloyd Smith
Bonnie M. Smotony, Secretary
Larry Lessly, General Counsel
Also present were Senate representatives Boman (Unit), Page
(UNR); Mattson (UNLV); Christopher (CCCC); Blauert (WNCC/N); and
student representatives Neuweiler (UNR); White (UNLV); Braxton
(WNCC/N); Schefcik (USUNS); Schenk (WNCC/S); and Caesar (CCCC).
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Cashell at 9:40 A.M.
1. Adoption of Consent Agenda
Chancellor Baepler recommended approval of the following
items contained on the Consent Agenda (identified as Ref. A
and filed with permanent minutes):
(1) Approval of minutes of regular meeting of February 23,
1979, and special meeting of March 23, 1979.
(2) Acceptance of gifts and grants as included in Ref. C-1.
(3) Approval of Budget Transfers for UNLV and CCCC.
(4) Approval of Estimative Budget for 1980 Moscow Olympic
Course to be offered by UNR.
(5) Approval of 1979 Summer Session budgets for WNCC and
CCCC.
Miss Mason moved approval of the Consent Agenda as present-
ed. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc Bride, carried without
dissent.
2. Proposed Change in Admission Requirements, UNLV
President Dixon presented, with his endorsement, a recom-
mendation by the Dean of the Graduate College and the Vice
President for Academic Affairs, for a change in the admis-
sion requirements for the Graduate College, noting that an
undergraduate grade point average of at least 2.5 is now
required. The proposal would amend this to provide as
follows:
An undergraduate grade point average of at least 2.75
or 3.0 in the last two years of undergraduate work or
satisfactory composite scores on the aptitude sections
of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate
Management Admissions Test (GMAT).
Dr. Dixon suggested that raising the admission requirements
in terms of gpa would have little effect on the numbers of
students admitted to the Graduate College, since most appli-
cants already exceed the new threshold. Students who seek
admission to the Graduate College with doubtful undergradu-
ate gpa's may invoke the alternative admission requirement
which is stated in terms of the GRE or GMAT scores. The
provisional student status for people who need to qualify
by means of a trial period will remain available. Chancel-
lor Baepler recommended approval.
Mr. Karamanos moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs.
Knudtsen, carried with Miss Mason opposing.
Mr. Buchanan entered the meeting at 9:50 A.M.
3. Recruiting Presentation, UNLV
President Dixon commented on the scheduled screening of a
recruiting presentation which has been used by UNLV in the
High School Visitation Program over the past six years. He
described it as a multimedia production, using 3 screens,
3 projectors, sound, music and a tape-controlled series of
images put together with split second timing. The presenta-
tion was favorably received in the schools and before other
Admissions officers. However, he noted, the project is very
expensive, and takes 2 people from the Audio Visual Depart-
ment to present it. Those 2 people spend a total of 47 man
days in presentation and a total of 25 man days in prepara-
tion each year.
Dr. Dixon pointed out that the executive budget now before
the Legislature projects the loss of 2.5 FTE classified peo-
ple in the Audio Visual Department, making it necessary to
cancel this heavy commitment to the recruiting effort. Dif-
ferent, and cheaper, ways will have to be found to meet the
recruiting needs of Admissions. Therefore, since the pres-
entation which was scheduled to be shown will have to be
discontinued, Dr. Dixon suggested that it would not be
profitable to take the Board's time for viewing it.
4. Status Report on UNLV Radio Station Project
CSUN President Chuck White reported that the construction
permit for the UNLV radio station had been received the pre-
vious week from the FCC, noting that planning for this proj-
ect had been underway for 11 years. Mr. White expressed his
appreciation for the help given to the application process
by members of the Board of Regents and the Nevada Congres-
sional Delegation. He also noted the assistance which had
been received from Tommy Walker, a radio consultant hired
by CSUN.
Tommy Walker commented briefly on the status of the radio
station, pointing out that the project will be funded en-
tirely from the $2.40 credit hour fee allocated from CSUN,
and part of the equipment is on order. It is anticipated
that the station can start transmitting in September.
5. Proposed Sale of Property, UNLV
Chancellor Baepler noted that the University owns a small,
triangular piece of property adjacent to UNLV, consisting of
0.198 acres, which is not considered usable by the Univer-
sity. A plot plan and legal description was included with
the agenda (identified as Ref. B and filed with permanent
minutes). Dr. Baepler reported that Nevada Savings and Loan
Association has indicated an interest in purchasing this
property to provide access from Swenson Avenue to a proposed
apartment development.
Chancellor Baepler recommended the described property be of-
fered for sale, in accordance with State Law, and that bids
be submitted for consideration by the Board at a subsequent
meeting.
Objection to the use of this property for this purpose was
offered by Mrs. Fong because she feared that use as an ac-
cess would be unsightly. Mr. Buchanan objected to sale of
any land owned by the University regardless of its size or
whether it is considered usable by the University.
Mr. Karamanos moved that the land not be sold, but that
Nevada Savings and Loan Association be offered a revocable
easement for consideration. Motion seconded by Mr.
Buchanan, carried without dissent.
6. Report on Feasibility of Intercollegiate Athletics, CCCC
President Kreider requested that his scheduled report be
withdrawn and rescheduled for the May meeting.
7. Allocation from Board of Regents Special Projects Account
President Crowley requested an allocation of $26,500 from
the Board of Regents Special Projects Account to purchase
40 acres of land at the northern boundary of Little Valley
which is held in the Estate of Robert T. Adams. The pur-
chase price is based on a recently completed appraisal of
the land ($25,000 for the land, plus a 5% commission).
Purchase of this property will expand the University's
holdings in this area and will further protect the integ-
rity of Little Valley.
Chancellor Baepler recommended approval of the acquisition
of this property at the appraisal price of $25,000, plus a
5% commission, to be funded by an allocation of $26,500 from
the Board of Regents Special Projects Account.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
8. Postretirement Appointment, UNR
President Crowley recommended approval of a postretirement
appointment for Vice President Edward L. Pine for 1979-80.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs.
Knudtsen, carried without dissent.
9. Special Events Center, UNR
President Crowley reported that following completion of the
Feasibility Study for the UNR Special Events Center in Jan-
uary, five local architectural firms were invited to submit
proposals in regard to the design and construction of the
Center. Four proposals were received and were evaluated by
a review committee and each firm made an oral presentation
to the committee. Dr. Crowley recommended, on the basis of
these proposals and presentations, that the following firms
be nominated to the Public Works Board from which the proj-
ect architect for the Special Events Center would be
selected:
1. Dolven, Larson, Daniels (Crain/Anderson, Inc. of
Houston, Texas, as principal consultants).
2. Casazza, Peetz & Associates (Fowler, Ferguson, Kingston
and Ruben of Salt Lake City, Utah, as principal
consultants).
Chancellor Baepler recommended approval.
Mr. Ross moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissent.
10. Investment Advisory Committee Membership
Chairman Cashell reported that Mr. Mc Bride had offered his
resignation as a member of the Investment Advisory Committee
and had recommended to the Chairman that in recognition of
Mrs. Fong's previous service and continuing interest in the
Committee, she be considered as a replacement. Mr. Cashell
noted that Mrs. Fong had been consulted and had agreed to
the appointment; accordingly, effective with this meeting
he was appointing Mrs. Fong as a member of the Investment
Advisory Committee.
Mrs. Fong stated that she had changed her mind and did not
wish the appointment to the Investment Advisory Committee,
preferring to serve on the Audit Committee which was under
consideration.
At the Chairman's request, Mr. Mc Bride withdrew his res-
ignation from the Investment Advisory Committee.
11. Grants-in-Aid for Rogan Children
It was recalled that in 1978, Mr. Buchanan had requested
consideration of the dedication of grants-in-aid for the
children of James Rogan, a Las Vegas police officer killed
while on duty. It was specifically proposed that the Board
dedicate a sufficient number of grants-in-aid for tuition
and registration fees for the benefit of these children, to
be made available for attendance at any Division of the
University of Nevada for an equivalent of eight semesters.
Action by the Board was deferred at the Chancellor's request
to allow further review by the Administration, and to exam-
ine the concept of this type of grant-in-aid.
Mr. Buchanan had requested that this matter be included on
the agenda for consideration by the Board; however, based on
advice of Counsel that the Board of Regents could not bind a
future Board by dedicating grants-in-aid in this manner, Mr.
Buchanan withdrew his request and, as an alternative, moved
that the Board memorialize the Regents at such time as any
of the Rogan children might apply for admission to any Uni-
versity of Nevada institution to give favorable considera-
tion to award of a grant-in-aid for tuition and registration
fees. Motion seconded by Mr. Karamanos, carried without
dissent.
12. Board of Regents Out-of-State Travel Account
Chancellor Baepler requested an allocation of $2,000 from
the Board of Regents Special Projects Account to augment
the Board's out-of-state travel account, to fund travel by
Regents attending the National Conference on Trusteeship
sponsored by the Association of Governing Boards.
Mr. Buchanan moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss Mason,
carried without dissent.
13. Proposed Amendment to Board of Regents Bylaws
Chancellor Baepler recalled that in February, the Board
agreed to consider in April certain amendments to their
Bylaws concerning the required notice time for meetings of
the Investment Committee, and to define the responsibilities
of that Committee in accordance with advice of Counsel. The
Board further agreed to consider in May certain changes to
conform the Bylaws to provisions of the Open Meeting Law.
Dr. Baepler further noted that subsequent to that time, Mr.
Mc Bride had requested an additional amendment to the Bylaws
to establish an Audit Committee as a standing committee of
the Board.
Chancellor Baepler proposed that the Board accept, on first
reading, the following amended Article IV of the Bylaws,
incorporating the amendments introduced in February and the
amendment required to establish an Audit Committee:
Section 1. The Board shall have the following standing
committees: the Investment Committee and the
Audit Committee.
Section 2. A standing committee shall consist of at least
three persons who are elected members of the
Board and may have not more than two persons as
advisory members who are not elected members of
the Board and who possess special knowledge,
skills and experience in a related field.
A standing committee shall meet as directed by
the Board or when called by the Chairman of the
committee.
Notice of meetings shall be furnished to all
members of a standing committee by the committee
Chairman or the Secretary of the Board at least
three days in advance of the meeting. All
meetings of the committee shall be called and
held in compliance with the provisions of NRS
Chapter 241.
A majority of the membership of the committee
shall constitute a quorum to transact business;
however, a vote of at least two of the Board
members shall be required for action by the
committee.
Committee members and the Chairman of the com-
mittee shall be appointed by the Chairman of
the Board for a term of two years, or until
the next organizational meeting of the Board.
Section 3. The Investment Committee shall have the follow-
ing areas of responsibility:
a. The formulation and recommendation for ap-
proval by the Board of appropriate invest-
ment policies to govern the investment
program of the University.
b. The recommendation for approval by the Board
of investment and reinvestment transactions
within the limits of the investment policies
approved by the Board of Regents.
Section 4. The Audit Committee shall have the following
areas of responsibility:
a. To provide assistance to the Board in
fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities
relating to accounting and reporting
practices, and
b. To maintain, by way of regularly scheduled
meetings, a direct line of communications
between the Board and the independent audi-
tors to provide for exchange of views and
information.
c. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the
audit committee shall:
(1) recommend to the Board a firm of indep-
endent certified public accountants
which shall audit the financial books
and records of the University;
(2) review and evaluate reports prepared by
the independent auditors concerning the
University's internal accounting and
management controls and make recommen-
dations to the Board for appropriate
action; and
(3) review the annual financial statements
with the independent auditors.
Mr. Buchanan moved that the proposed amendment be accepted
on first reading. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc Bride, carried
without dissent.
14. Allocation of Grants-in-Aid
NRS 396.540 provides for tuition waivers to "students from
other states and foreign countries, not to exceed a number
equal to 3% of the total matriculated enrollment of students
for the last preceding Fall semester." Board policy pro-
vides for similar grants-in-aid for the same number of stu-
dents for the payment of in-state registration fees.
Based on enrollment figures for Fall, 1978, Chancellor
Baepler recommended the following distribution of grants-
in-aid for 1979-80:

16. Proposed Sale of Stock, UNR
President Crowley reported that in 1978, a gift of 2,000
shares of Gannett stock, valued at the time of transfer at
$88,000, was made to UNR for the sole benefit of the Oral
History Project. This gift of stock was matched by a
$10,000 grant from Gannett Foundation.
Dr. Crowley presented, with his endorsement, a request from
the Director of the Oral History Project that the stock be
sold and the funds invested, with the income plus capital
used to employ a half-time professional and a full-time
classified employee. He estimated that there would be
sufficient funds to provide this additional staff for the
Project for seven to ten years.
Chancellor Baepler recommended approval of the sale of the
stock and use of the capital and income from the investment
as requested.
Mr. Ross moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Buchanan,
carried without dissent.
17. Nomination of Architects for Phase IV of Medical School, UNR
President Crowley recommended the following firms be nomi-
nated to the State Public Works Board from which a project
architect for Phase IV of the Medical School would be
selected:
1. Anshen and Allen
2. MBT Associates
Dr. Crowley noted that each of the above firms has had wide
experience in designing and building specialized labora-
tories and medical facilities. Chancellor Baepler concurred
in the nominations.
Mr. Buchanan moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
18. Request for Authorization to Issue Revenue Bonds, UNR
President Crowley recommended that a request be made to the
State Legislature for approval to issue $2 million in reve-
nue bonds for completion of College Inn Continuing Education
Center. He estimated a proposed project cost of $3,991,000,
and introduced Mr. Walter Larson, of the firm of Dolven &
Larson, who presented the report of a feasibility study just
completed.
Dr. Crowley reported that the University had received a
pledge from the John Shaw Field Foundation for $1 million.
Sale of the proposed $2 million in revenue bonds would pro-
vide matching funds for 75% of the total amount required,
with the remainder to be raised from private sources. De-
tails of the bonding information were included with the
agenda (identified as Ref. D and filed with permanent
minutes).
Mr. Ross objected to the use of revenue from Stead apart-
ments as a part of the funding for these bonds.
Dr. Crowley pointed out that over the years the University
has provided a great deal of money to keep the Stead Campus
alive and now that the Job Corps contract is returning some
revenue to the University, he did not believe it was out of
order to utilize some of these revenues to benefit other
parts of the University. He also noted that it is antici-
pated that within a period of five to six years, the revenue
generated by the College Inn itself will be sufficient to
cover the entire revenue bond. Dr. Crowley also pointed out
that it will be very difficult for the University to raise
private money for this purpose unless it can be demonstrated
that the University can make some sort of commitment toward
the development of the project.
Mr. Ross moved that the recommendation not be approved,
and suggested that further consideration be given only if
evidence can be shown that the National College of the
Judiciary, or the National Council of Juvenile and Family
Court Judges will lease space and the revenue from those
leases can then be used as funding for a revenue bond.
Motion seconded by Mr. Buchanan, carried by the following
roll call vote:
Yes - Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Cashell, Mrs. Fong, Miss Mason,
Mr. Ross
No - Mr. Karamanos, Mrs. Knudtsen, Dr. Lombardi, Mr.
Mc Bride
19. Presentation of Final Drawings, Dickinson Library Addition,
UNLV
Final drawings for the Dickinson Library addition were pre-
sented by Mr. Robert Fielden of Jack Miller & Associates.
This project, which has a construction budget of $5,596,000
and a furnishings and equipment budget of $546,000, includes
the addition of approximately 60,000 net square feet to
the existing library as well as remodeling of the existing
structure and site development work surrounding the facil-
ity. Funding for the project is as follows:
Higher Educational Capital Construction Fund $1,827,000
Capital Improvement Fee Revenue Bonds 5,100,000
Total $6,927,000
Mr. Fielden stated that the project was ready to go to bid,
and within the budget, with a final construction estimate of
$5,116,000. He also noted that the vault storage units to
be placed on the ground floor of the existing building will
be bid on a unit basis as an additive alternate in order
that as many of the units as possible can be realized out of
the construction monies left over from the project.
President Dixon and Chancellor Baepler recommended approval
of the final drawings and authorization to proceed to bid.
Mr. Karamanos moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
20. Report on Structural Condition of the Oats Park School
Building
President Davis reported that a letter had been received by
the Churchill County School District, from which WNCC leases
space in the Oats Park School building in Fallon, stating
that in the opinion of the consulting engineers retained by
Churchill County School District to provide a preliminary
code and cost analysis for restoration of that building, the
building is not structurally safe should an earthquake occur
in the Fallon area, considered to be in the high risk zone
for earthquakes. The letter further stated that "Churchill
County School District does not have liability insurance to
cover Western Nevada Community College as lessee of Oats
Park School. The continued use of Oats Park School by West-
ern Nevada Community College will have to be at your own
risk, as the Churchill County School District cannot provide
for personal injury and property damage incurred because of
the structural condition of the Oats Park School building."
Dr. Davis requested that some determination be made with the
University's insurance carriers concerning extension of in-
surance until the end of the semester on May 16.
Chancellor Baepler pointed out that the Board has been put
on notice that the College has students occupying a building
that has been declared unsafe in the event of an earthquake.
To what degree you remove yourself from liability by seeking
to obtain insurance is a legal question.
Mr. Lessly recommended that the county building authority be
asked to inspect the building and give the University a cer-
tificate of occupancy if it is determined by that authority
that it is safe for the purposes for which the College is
using it. He pointed out that the report before the Board
is one provided to the Churchill County School District from
a private engineering firm and is not from the governmental
authority charged with making that determination.
Mr. Buchanan moved that until the building is designated
safe by the Churchill County Building Department and a cer-
tificate of occupancy is issued, no further classes be of-
fered in the Oats Park School building by WNCC. Motion
seconded by Mr. Mc Bride, carried without dissent.
21. Proposal for Honorary Degrees and Distinguished Nevadan
Awards
Mr. Buchanan presented, as a joint nomination from southern
Regents, the following awards to be presented by UNLV at its
May 19 commencement:
Distinguished Nevadan Awards to Mr. Artimus Ham, Jr.,
Judge Addelair Guy, and former State Senator B. Mahlon
Brown, and an honorary degree to Dr. Bart Bok, who has
agreed to be the Commencement speaker.
Mr. Buchanan moved approval of the above nominations. Mo-
tion seconded by Mr. Karamanos, carried without dissent.
Mr. Ross moved that the Board go into personnel session for
the purpose of discussing the nominees for awards at
Commencement. Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong.
Mr. Mc Bride moved that the motion also include the discus-
sion of tenure recommendations. Motion to amend seconded
by Mr. Buchanan carried without dissent.
Amended motion then carried without dissent.
Following a personnel session, the Board reconvened in regular
session.
Discussion resumed on Item 21, Proposal for Honorary Degrees and
Distinguished Nevadan Awards
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval of the following awards at
Commencement at UNR on May 19, 1979:
Fred M. Anderson, M. D., Doctor of Medical Sciences
Irving J. Sandorf, Doctor of Engineering
Dorothy E. Benson, Distinguished Nevadan
Claude Howard, Distinguished Nevadan
Rollan Melton, Distinguished Nevadan
Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried without dissent.
