2. Approval of Minutes of Previous Meeting
Upon motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, the min-
utes of the previous meeting were approved as distributed.
Regent Jacobsen assumed the Chair at the request of Chairman
Anderson while Plant and Property matters were being discussed
(agenda items for Plant and Property Committee were, by agree-
ment, moved to the agenda for the regular meeting).
3. Nevada Southern University Student Activity Building
Mr. Pine reported that bids for the NSU Student Activity
building had been received on April 6 and that all bids were
above the estimate. Mr. Pine reviewed the bids with the
Board and asked that the final decision on the contract be
delayed for approximately 10 days pending a meeting with the
low bidder in an attempt to negotiate a price within the
funds available.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the Plant and Property Committee be
authorized to proceed on behalf of the Board of Regents if
decision on the contract is required before the next meeting
of the Board of Regents.
4. Bids for Paving Orvis School of Nursing and Stewart Hall

Mr. Pine reviewed the bidding procedure followed on above
contract and recommended that the low bid of Robert L. Helms
Construction Company in the amount of $4,532.60 be accepted
and that a contract be drawn to accomplish this work.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried by
roll call vote that the bid of Robert L. Helms Construction
Company, in the amount of $4,532.60, be accepted and that a
contract be drawn to accomplish the work.
5. Effie Mona Mack Social Sciences Building, Reno Campus

tially complete in June. By consensus, the Board agreed to
hold cornerstone ceremonies on Saturday afternoon, July 8,
1967.
6. Nevada Historical Society Building
Mr. Pine submitted for the Regents' approval a plot plan of
the Nevada Historical Society building site with recommenda-
tion for approval.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without

7. Easement between University of Nevada Property and Catholic
Church, 11th and Artemisia, Reno Campus
Mr. Pine presented a request from the City of Reno for a 10'
x 66' sewer line easement between the Teaching and Resource
Center and Our Lady of Wisdom Roman Catholic Church.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without
dissent that the above request for easement be granted.
8. Furnishing and Equipping NSU Dining Commons and Residence
Hall
Mr. Humphrey reported that the cost of furnishing the above
facility will be $168,326.81. This has been funded as
follows:
State Appropriation $ 45,000
Loan from Reno Auxiliary Enterprises 100,000
Payment from NSU Auxiliary Enterprises 19,000
$164,000
This leaves an unfunded balance of $4,326.81. Mr. Humphrey
recommended that the Board authorize a loan of this amount
to NSU Auxiliary Enterprises from Capital Improvement Fund,
NSU. (This fund had 1966-67 receipts of $67,982.12 less a
loan of $51,594.62 to NSU Auxiliary Enterprises, to pay
1966-67 debt service, leaving a current balance of
$16,387.50.)
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the loan be made as outlined above.
Mr. Humphrey submitted the following schedule, as recommend-
ed by Chancellor Moyer, for the repayment of the $100,000
loan made to NSU Auxiliary Enterprises from the Reno Auxil-
iary Enterprises:
1968-69 $10,000
1969-70 15,000
1970-71 20,000
1971-72 20,000
1972-73 20,000
1973-74 15,000
Mr. Humphrey also suggested that the above loan of $4,326.81
also be repaid in 1973-74.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried with-
out dissent that the above schedule be established as a
target date for the repayment of the $100,000 loan from the
NSU Dining Commons and Residence Hall receipts.
9. Naming of Nevada Southern University Buildings
Mr. Ronzone submitted for the consideration of the Board,
three categories which he suggested might be selected for
naming NSU Dormitories:
The use of names of various gem stones found
in Nevada;
The use of names of trees and shrubs which
are more or less native to Southern Nevada; or
The use of names of Nevada towns.
Mr. Ronzone favored the use of names of Nevada mining towns.
Motion by Mr. Magee, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried without
dissent that the names of Nevada towns be used for NSU
Dormitories.
Specific suggestions for the name of the present Dormitory
at NSU will be made at the May meeting of the Board.
10. Draft of University Purchasing Policy
A draft of a proposed resolution for adoption by the Board
of Regents which would establish the basic purchasing
policy was distributed to the Board for review prior to
the May meeting. It is anticipated that a final document
will be available for consideration by the Board at that
time.
11. Legislative Program Report (as of April 5, 1967)
Mr. Hug presented the following report on the status of
legislation of interest to the University:
1. AB 6. This bill makes a special appropriation to the
University for Agricultural research and demonstration
in Pahrump Valley. The first version called for an ap-
propriation of $81,537 for the biennium. It was amend-
ed in Ways and Means Committee to provide an appropria-
tion of $52,500 for the biennium. The bill is now in
Senate Finance Committee.
2. AB 75. This bill puts Desert Research Institute under
the State Purchasing Act and prohibits the payment of
moving expenses for DRI employees. The bill is still
in the Assembly Education Committee and is considered
dead.
3. AB 94. This bill confers the right of eminent domain
upon the Board of Regents. Bill is in Assembly
Judiciary Committee and is considered dead.
4. AB 278. This bill appropriates $500,000 to the Uni-
versity for library books for the biennium. The bill
is in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. Please
see discussion below concerning General Fund appro-
priation.
5. AB 290. Removes the indenture requirement in WICHE
contracts. This bill came out of Senate Education
Committee with a "do pass" but met with considerable
opposition on the floor and is presently on the
Secretary's desk. You probably have more accurate
information on this bill than I do, but my assumption
is that it will not pass.
6. AB 430. Reduces the vesting right of 15 years to 10
years in the Public Employees Retirement plan. This
bill is still in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee
where the reaction appears favorable.
7. AB 463. Authorizes the Board of Regents to acquire
certain specified land by condemnation. This bill came
out of the Assembly Judiciary Committee with a do pass
on a split vote. On March 22 it passed the second
reading in the Assembly and then on March 23 was placed
on the Chief Clerk's desk. The reason given was that
Assemblyman Marvin White of Clark County believed the
property description was incorrect. Mr. Whalen, Plant
Engineer, is working with the State Highway Department
on the description. One minor error is present but
it has given the opponents of this bill sufficient
reason to hold it. I am pessimistic about getting
it through.
8. AB 484. Provides for the establishment of Community
Colleges. This bill is in Ways and Means and I am not
aware of any substantial support for it.
9. AB 489. Would change the name of Nevada Southern Uni-
versity to Nevada State University. This bill is in
Committee on Education in the Assembly and it appears
to be dead.
10. SB 175. Requires persons not engaged in lawful busi-
ness to leaving building and grounds of public agen-
cies upon the request of a peace officer if the build-
ing is regularly closed to the public at that time.
This bill has a do pass in the Assembly and is present-
ly on the Chief Clerk's desk.
11. SB 194. Clarifies the residence status of a University
student who marries. This bill came out of Assembly
Education Committee with a do pass and was approved by
the Assembly; however, it was then reconsidered and
placed on the Chief Clerk's desk. The issue then be-
came sufficiently confused due to the variety of opin-
ions of different Legislators due to "clarifying resi-
dent status" and the bill will probably die where it
is.
12. The following Assembly bills have all been passed by
the Legislature and are now law.
A. AB 61. Authorizes the University to do much of its
own purchasing.
B. AB 76. Requires the University to inventory all
equipment.
C. AB 77. Modifies the State's waiver of sovereign
immunity on behalf of the University and changes
our liability insurance coverage.
D. AJR 15. Approves of further planning for a Medical
School in Northern Nevada.
E. AJR 16. Approves of the Nevada Advisory Committee
for Higher Education Planning.
F. SB 216. Provides industrial insurance coverage of
athletes at the University. This bill has cleared
both Houses and presumably will be approved by the
by Governor. It provides that members of the ath-
letic teams of the University, while engaged in
organized practice or active competition for any
activity related thereto, shall be deemed for pur-
poses of NIC coverage to be employees of the Uni-
versity of Nevada at a wage of $50 a month and in
the event of injury they are entitled to Workmen's
Compensation benefits. The Act also states that
this legislation is for the purpose of extending
insurance coverage only and is in no way intended
to affect the amateur status of the members or
imply that any such member is receiving a wage for
participation. This legislation has not received
the endorsement of the Board of Regents.
13. SB 220. Makes an appropriation of $30,000 to the
University for a football team at NSU. This bill is
still in Finance Committee and seems to enjoy very
little support.
14. SB 322. Increases the contribution rate to public
employees retirement fund to 6% of gross salary by both
the employer and employee. This bill has passed and
been signed by the Governor. We estimate that for our
present employees the additional cost next year will
be approximately $22,000.
15. SB 373. Empowers the Board of Regents to purchase land
on deferred payments. This bill has cleared the Senate
and is in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. It
provides that the Board may purchase real property for
cash or by making a cash down payment and executing or
assuming an obligation to pay the remainder of the
price in deferred installments. It further provides
that such obligations may be secured by a mortgage or
deed of trust of the real property acquired, but shall
not constitute an obligation of the State. This bill
has not received endorsement of the Board of Regents.
16. SB 475. Authorizes the formation of the NSU Land
Foundation. This bill has been scheduled for a hearing
at 9:00 A.M., April 10, 1967 before the Senate Finance
Committee. Regent Hug has agreed to make the presenta-
tion.
17. SJR 14. Opposes the establishment of Medical School
and remains in the Education Committee of the Assembly.
18. SJR 16 and SJR 17. Provide for Legislative control of
non-appropriated funds. Both are considered dead in
the Senate.
19. SJR 19. Proposes to establish control of University
charges. Is considered dead.
20. SJR 30. As amended, controls University charges and
provides for Legislative budget control over most
University funds. This bill is in the Assembly Ways
and Means Committee and is expected to stay there.
21. SJR 26. Proposes a constitutional amendment to provide
that the Board of Regents be appointed by the Governor.
This resolution is in the Senate Finance Committee.
22. SB 493. Requires comprehensive planning for capital
improvements on new or expanded programs at the Univer-
sity. Its format requires two 5-year plans: July,
1967 through June, 1972 and July, 1974 through June,
1979. In Senate Finance Committee.
23. SJR 34. "Encourages" the Board of Regents to study the
feasibility of establishing Law School facilities in
Southern Nevada. In Finance Committee.
24. The following Senate Bills have all been passed and are
now law:
A. Senate bills 36, 37 and 38. Authorizes construc-
tion of the Physical Science building at Reno and
provide for its funding.
B. SB 143. Authorizes the Alumni Association to
incorporate as a non-profit corporation.
C. SB 81. Excludes Agricultural Extension employees
from participating in both State and Federal
retirement systems.
D. SB 136 . Adds two residents of Clark County to the

University of Nevada
Reno, Nevada
Gentlemen:
As a professional organization, we of Southern Nevada
Teachers of English wish to commend your action in the
designation of the Nevada Southern Library as the James R.
Dickenson Library. This tribute is especialy fitting in
view of his being an original faculty member, instrumental
in establishing academic programs at Nevada Southern
University.
His contributions to education in Nevada are well known.
However, his interest in professional organizations and his
continuous support of Southern Nevada Teachers of English
made this recognition particularly significant to our
association.
Sincerely,
/s/ Herbert Baker
Herbert Baker, President
Southern Nevada Teachers
of English
