4. Humanities Building, UNLV
President Zorn reviewed the history of the planning for the
Humanities building and introduced Mr. Jerry Strehlow, rep-
resenting the architectural firm of Zick & Sharp. Mr.
Strehlow stated that the project remains essentially the

Mr. Hug asked if the light wells which had appeared in the
preliminary plans had been retained in the final drawings
and if so, what evaluation of them had been made following
the discussion of this feature by the Board at the September
meeting.
Mr. Strehlow reported that the light wells had been retained
since it was the only way to meet the scope of the programs
as developed by the Faculty Committee.
Mr. Hancock stated that the State Planning Board has review-
ed the final plans and agrees that the only way to provide
the outside light requirements specified for each Faculty
Office is to retain the light wells. He further noted
that the architect's estimate for the project is $3,110,860;
the project budget is $3 million with $300,000 for furnish-
ings and $90,000 for contingency. He said that there is a
reasonably good chance of getting in under the budget. He
confirmed that the final plans have been approved by the
Faculty Committee and by the State Planning Board.
President Zorn recommended approval. Chancellor Humphrey
concurred.
Mr. Bilbray moved that the final plans be approved as sub-
mitted. Motion seconded by Dr. White, carried without
dissent.
5. Student Bill of Rights
President Miller reviewed the history of the proposed Stu-
dent Bill of Rights, noting that the Preamble through
Article IV.A had been adopted by the Board at its meeting
in February. The remaining articles had been reviewed by
the Attorney General and by the Student Affairs Committee.
An amended document had been produced from that meeting and
President Miller recommended its approval by the Board.
The amended document was distributed with a recommendation
by Mr. Ronzone, Chairman of the Student Affairs Committee,
that it be adopted.
Mr. Walsh stated that the amendment substantially satis-
fies the concerns expressed in his opinion.
Mr. Ronzone suggested a review of the document, by para-
graph, with any questions being directed to President
Miller or Jim Hardesty.
Paragraph IV.
B. Freedom of Inquiry and Expression
1. Students and student organizations shall be
free to examine and to discuss all questions
of interest to them, and to express opinions
publicly and privately. They shall be free
to support causes by legal and orderly means
which do not interfere with the operation of
the Institution, University or of its educa-
tional objectives.
2. (delete first paragraph)
University facilities, including Campus grounds,
are provided primarily for the support of the
regular educational functions of the University
and the activities necessary for the support of
these functions. The University's functions
take precedence over any other activities in the
use of University facilities.
Freedom to speak and to hear will be maintained
for students, faculty and staff and University
policies and procedures will be used to provide
a full and frank exchange of ideas. An effort
should be made to allow a balanced program of
speakers and ideas.
An invitation to speak at the University does
not imply that the University endorses the
philosophy or ideas presented by the speaker.
University facilities may not be used for the
purpose of raising monies to aid projects not
related to some authorized activity of the
University or of University groups, and no
efforts at conversion and solicitation by un-
invited non-Campus groups or individuals will
be permitted on Campus.
President Miller noted that the substitute wording suggested
for paragraph 2 above was the text of Faculty Policy Bulle-
tin #69-7 which sets forth the University's speaker policy
as approved by the Board of Regents.
Jim Hardesty asked that the first and last paragraphs of
Paragraph IV be deleted since they discuss procedures for
the use of University facilities. President Miller agreed.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that IV.B.2 be amended by deletion of
paragraphs 1 and 4. Motion seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent.
Mr. Hug requested that the minutes reflect that deletion of
the two paragraphs from the Student Bill of Rights in no
way abrogates the policy statement as reflected in Policy
Bulletin #69-7.
C. Student Participation in University Government
As constituents of the academic community, students
shall be free, individually and collectively, to
express their views on issues of University policy
and on matters of general interest to the student
body. The student body shall have clearly defined
means to participate in the formulation and appli-
cation of University policy affecting academic and
student affairs. The role of the student govern-
ment and both its general and specific responsibil-
ities shall be made explicit, and the actions of
the student government within the areas of its
jurisdiction shall be reviewed only through orderly
and prescribed procedures.
D. Student Publications
Student publications and the Student Press are
valuable aids in establishing and maintaining an
atmosphere of free and responsible discussion and
of intellectual exploration on the Campus. They
are a means of bringing student concerns to the
attention of the faculty and the Administration
and of formulating student opinion on various
issues on the Campus and in the world at large.
In the delegation of editorial responsibility to
students the University shall provide sufficient
editorial freedom and financial autonomy for the
student publications to maintain their integrity
or purpose as vehicles for free inquiry and free
expression in the academic community.
As safeguards for the editorial freedom of student
publications, the following provisions are neces-
sary:
1. The Student Press shall be free of censorship
and advance approval of copy, and its editors
and managers shall be free to develop their own
editorial policies and news coverage.
2. Editors and managers of student publications
shall be protected from arbitrary suspension
and removal because of student, faculty, admin-
istrative or public disapproval of editorial
policy or content.
3. All student publications shall explicitly state
that the opinions there expressed are not nec-
essarily those of the University or the student
body.
The editorial freedom of student editors and man-
agers shall entail corollary responsibilities to be
governed by the canons of responsible journalism,
and offer reasonable opportunities for rejoinder
to the same audience.
Mr. Humphrey reported that he had received assurance from
the University's insurance agent that the liability policy
presently in force covers the Board of Regents in the event
of legal action. Jim Hardesty reported that he is present-
ly investigating similar coverage for ASUN and has been
assured that there will be no problem in this regard.
Dr. Anderson asked for an explanation of the "canons of
responsible journalism". It was agreed that the canons
differ between organizations and President Miller recom-
mended that the last paragraph be amended as follows:
The editorial freedom of student editors and managers
shall entail corollary responsibilities to be governed
by the canons of responsible journalism, as prescribed
by the Student Publications Board and approved by the
Board of Regents, and offer reasonable opportunities
for rejoinder to the same audience.
Mr. Bilbray moved that the President's recommendation be
approved. Motion seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried without
dissent.
Mr. Hug pointed out that if the Board of Regents must be
responsible for the results of libel suits, it should also
have some voice in establishing basic ground rules.
Further discussion on the Student Bill of Rights was defer-
red to permit discussion of the Revenue Bond Issue.
6. Revenue Bond Issue, Performing Arts Center, UNLV
Chancellor Humphrey introduced Mr. Nicholas Smith, Vice
President, Burrows, Smith and Company. Mr. Smith reported
that the sale of the $930,000 in revenue bonds for the
Performing Arts Center had been advertised and although
four syndicates had been formed, no bids were received
within the 7% limitation. He noted that Standard and Poor's
had assigned an "A" rating to the bonds; however, he pointed
out that the bond market was not good. Mr. Smith noted that
two proposals had been made and introduced a Mr. Carlson,
from Nevada State Bank, who reported that he had been auth-
orized to offer a good faith check in the amount of $18,600
for a one-week option on the bonds at 7% on behalf of Wilson
White, Incorporated of New York City.
Mr. Smith stated that he also had been authorized to offer
an option for 30 days on behalf of Wilson White; however,
he recommended that the University give no options and that
a negotiated sale be authorized and consideration be given
to also including some of the other previously authorized
bond sales. He pointed out that the University has the
authority at law to negotiate sale of these bonds.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the options be reject-
ed and that the Board of Regents authorize negotiations only
for the sale of the $930,000 issue until the next meeting of
the Board of Regents.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that the above recommendation be ap-
proved. Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried without
dissent.
Dr. Lombardi moved that if the negotiations are successful,
the Chancellor be authorized to approve the sale and sign
the necessary documents. Motion seconded by Mr. Ronzone,
carried without dissent.
Discussion on the Student Bill of Rights was resumed.
V. OFF-CAMPUS FREEDOM OF STUDENTS
A. Exercise of Rights of Citizenship
University students are both citizens and members
of the academic community. As citizens, students
have the same freedom of speech, peaceful assembly
and right of petition that other citizens enjoy,
and, as members of the academic community, they
are subject to the obligations which accrue to
them by virtue of this membership.
B. Institutional Authority and Civil Penalties
The University has no legal authority over a stu-
dent when he is outside University property unless
engaged in official University activities, except
as provided in VI.C. Students who violate the law
may incur penalties prescribed by civil authorities,
but institutional authority shall not be used merely
to duplicate the function of general laws. Only
where institutional interests as an academic commu-
nity are distinct from those of the general communi-
ty, may disciplinary proceedings be invoked by the
Institution. Institutional action shall be inde-
pendent of community pressure.
VI. PROCEDURAL STANDARDS IN DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS
The authorities of educational institutions have the
inherent power and responsibility to protect the edu-
cational purpose through the regulation of the use of
their facilities and through the establishing of
standards of conduct and scholarship for the students
who attend. Disciplinary action plays a role sub-
stantially secondary to example, counseling, guidance
and admonition. When warranted, disciplinary pro-
ceedings shall be enforced, and when they are, proper
procedural safeguards shall be observed to protect
the student from the unfair imposition of penalties.
The administration of discipline shall guarantee pro-
cedural fairness to an accused student. The juris-
dictions of faculty and/or student judicial bodies,
or other regularly established judicial bodies, the
disciplinary responsibilities of University Officials
and the regular disciplinary procedures, including the
student's right to appeal a decision, shall be clearly
formulated and communicated in advance. In all situ-
ations, procedural fair play shall require that the
student shall be informed of the charges against him,
and that he shall be given a fair opportunity to re-
fute them, that the University shall not be arbitrary
in its actions, and that there shall be provision for
appeal of a decision.
A. Standards of Conduct Expected of Students
The University has an obligation to clarify those
standards of behavior which it considers essen-
tial to its educational mission and its community
life. The student must be free from imposed lim-
itations that have no direct relevance to his
education. Offenses shall be clearly defined and
interpreted in a manner consistent with the afore-
mentioned principles. Disciplinary proceedings
shall be instituted only for violations of exist-
ing standards of conduct and those which will be
formulated with student particpation and publish-
ed in advance. It shall be the student's obliga-
tion to become aware of University rules and
regulations and to conduct himself as a respon-
sible citizen, to abide by the University's stat-
ed rules and regulations, and to express either
assenting or dissenting opinions in an orderly
manner.
In response to a question concerning the second sentence of
the above paragraph, Mr. Hardesty stated that he believed
it to be an expression of philosophy and should be retained
in the document. He said he believed there are many things
outside the classroom which are relevant to the educational
process, including dormitory living and use of the Library
or other facilities.
Mr. Hug suggested that the vagueness of the statement would
cause problems.
Mr. Jacobsen moved the second sentence of VI.A be deleted.
Motion seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried with Mr. Bilbray
opposed.
B. Investigation of Student Conduct
1. Premises occupied by students, whether Univer-
sity controlled or not, and the personal pos-
sessions of students, shall not be searched
without permission or without legal authority.
Mr. Walsh explained that the University Administration pres-
ently has the legal authority to search when there is rea-
sonable cause to believe that a serious violation of Univer-
sity regulations has occurred or the law is being broken.
This legal authority has been confirmed by an Attorney Gen-
eral's opinion because of the special University-student
relationship and the high degree of obligation on the part
of the student.
Mr. Bell moved that the paragraph be amended by adding the
sentence: "Such legal authority includes that authority
which arises from the University-student relationship."
Motion seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried with Mr. Bilbray
opposing.
2. Students accused of serious violations of
University regulations, shall be informed of
their rights by the University Official in
charge of student discipline. Institutional
representatives shall not coerce admissions
of guilt.
C. Status of Students Pending Final Action
Pending action on criminal charges off-Campus or
disciplinary proceedings on Campus, the status of
a student shall not be altered or his right to be
present on the Campus and to attend classes sus-
pended, except for reasons relating to his physical
or emotional safety and well-being, or for reasons
relating to the safety and well-being of students,
faculty, or Administration, or to University prop-
erty. In circumstances of the magnitude described
above, the President of the University may suspend
a student pending decision on the charges.
D. Hearing Procedures
A student may request a hearing, before a Hearing
Committee, on a disciplinary charge. The follow-
ing suggested procedure shall satisfy the require-
ments of procedural due process:
1. Hearings shall be instituted with dispatch
after a student is charged with an offense.
Students shall be notified in time to prepare
an adequate defense against those charges.
2. No member of the Hearing Committee who is
otherwise interested in the particular case
may sit in judgment during the proceeding.
3. The student shall be informed, in writing, of
the reasons for the proposed disciplinary
action with sufficient particularity, and in
sufficient time, to insure opportunity to
prepare for the hearing.
4. The student appearing before a Hearing Commit-
tee shall have the right to be assisted in his
defense by an advisor of his choice.
5. The burden of proof rests upon the Officials
bringing the charges.
6. The student shall be given an opportunity to
testify and to present evidence and witnesses.
He shall have an opportunity to hear and ques-
tion adverse witnesses. In no case shall a
Hearing Committee consider statements against
him unless he has been advised of their content
and of the names of those who made them, and
unless he has been given an opportunity to re-
but unfavorable inferences which might other-
wise be drawn.
7. All matters upon which the decisions may be
based shall be introduced into evidence at the
proceeding before a Hearing Committee. The
decision shall be based solely upon such mat-
ters. The admissibility of evidence shall be
determined by the Hearing Board and subject to
review through appeal.
8. (delete)
9. (delete)
Mr. Bell questioned the meaning of the second sentence of
paragraph 6; i. e., whether the statements referred to
would also include oral statements made during the hearing.
Mr. Bilbray moved that the second sentence of paragraph 6
be amended to read: "In no case shall a Hearing Committee
consider written or recorded statements against him unless
he has been advised of their content and of the names of
those who made them, and unless he has been given an oppor-
tunity to rebut unfavorable inferences which might other-
wise be drawn." Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent.
There was concern expressed that paragraph 2 was unclear and
perhaps should be included in later discussion concerning
the total hearing procedure.
Dr. Anderson moved that paragraph 2 be deleted. Motion
seconded by Mr. Bell, carried with Mr. Bilbray opposing.
Mr. Hardesty requested that a paragraph be added to provide
that the student would have the right to determine whether
the hearing would be open or closed. President Miller a-
greed.
Mr. Bilbray moved that a paragraph be added to VI.D. as
follows: "The student is entitled to a closed hearing upon
his request." Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent.
Mr. Bilbray moved adoption of the document as amended.
Motion seconded by Mr. Bell, carried without dissent.
(Complete Student Bill of Rights, as adopted, Preamble
through VI.D.7, is filed with permanent minutes.)
Meeting adjourned at 5:35 P.M.

been held on Thursday, April 9, for the benefit of the Ath-

11. Approval of Purchases in Excess of $5000, UNLV
A. President Zorn requested authorization to purchase a
television camera, video tape recorder, a 22" monitor
and other small related equipment to be used by the
Social Services Department. He reported that eleven
firms were solicited; however, a single bid was received
for $5773.74 from Telemation, Inc., Salt Lake City. He
recommended the purchase be approved from funds avail-
able from a Helping Services departmental grant from the
State Welfare Department. Chancellor Humphrey agreed.
B. President Zorn requested approval of a five year lease
of a Burrough's electronic accounting machine, at an
aggregate cost of $6600 per year for the equipment plus
related software and servicing. He noted that there is
an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the
lease period for $2393. President Zorn recommended
approval. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendations be approved.
12. Allocation of Tuition and Fee Waivers, UNLV
President Zorn reported that, based on the Fall, 1969 regu-
lar enrollment of 4124, the 3% quota permitted by State Law
will provide 124 waivers of in-state fees and out-of-state
tuition to UNLV. He recommended that these waivers be
allocated in 1970-71 as follows:
Music 20%
Athletics 50%
Other 30%
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendations be approved.
13. Graduate Student Organization, UNLV
President Zorn noted that he had transmitted, with his rec-
ommendation for approval, a proposed constitution for a
Graduate Student Organization at UNLV. (Proposed constitu-
tion was included with agenda, identified as Ref. D, and is
on file in Chancellor's Office.)
President Zorn introduced Mr. Harry Syphus, Acting President
of the Graduate Student Organization.
Mr. Bilbray reported that he had been contacted by Mr. John
Cevette, President of CSUN, who had requested that this
matter be tabled until a later meeting to allow time for
agreement to be reached between the CSUN and the Graduate
Student Organization.
Mr. Jasper, CSUN Vice President, endorsed this request. Mr.
Syphus expressed opposition to deferment, stating that there
have already been a number of attempts to hold joint dis-
cussions with CSUN and these have not been successful. He
suggested that official recognition of a Graduate Student
Organization would improve their position in negotiating
with CSUN concerning representation on University commit-
tees.
There was concern expressed that the proposed constitution
had not been thoroughly reviewed and perhaps should be re-
viewed by the Board in some detail at the same time the
ASUN and CSUN constitutions are reviewed.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that further consideration be tabled
until the June meeting. Motion seconded by Mr. Bilbray,
failed with three yes and four no votes.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that a Graduate Student Organization at
UNLV be approved in principle, that the proposed assessment
of $2 per semester fee be approved, but that approval of
the constitution be deferred until a later meeting. Motion
seconded by Dr. White, carried without dissent.
14. Bid Opening, UNR
President Miller reported that bids were opened February 25,
1970 for a radiation shield at the Nuclear Engineering fa-
cility, noting that the shield is a safety requirement which
must be provided.
Bids received were:
Murphy Brothers Company $5500
Roger Brothers Company 5956
Pearce Construction Company 6749
Allen Gallaway 7230
George Waltenspiel 7524
Chancellor Humphrey noted that approval of this bid should
have been requested at the March meeting; however, it was
inadvertently omitted from the agenda. To delay the award
of the contract until after the April meeting might have
resulted in the withdrawal of the bid and required the
bidding procedure to be repeated. Therefore, Mr. Humphrey
stated, authorization was given to proceed with the con-
tract award to the low bidder, Murphy Brothers Company, sub-
ject to confirmation by the Board at this meeting. Presi-
dent Miller recommended confirmation. Chancellor Humphrey
concurred.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
15. Alpha Chi Omega
President Miller recommended approval of a request by Alpha
Chi Omega, a national collegiate sorority, to establish a
colony at UNR as a first step toward the eventual establish-
ment of a chapter. President Miller pointed out that their
National Membership Standards state: "Alpha Chi Omega has
no written or unwritten statement or policy which would
specifically inhibit selection of members on the basis of
race, creed, color or national origin."
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that establishment of the
colony in the Fall of 1970 be approved.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
16. Change in Title of Graduate Assistants
President Miller recommended that the title of Graduate
Teaching and Research Assistants be changed to Graduate
Teaching and Research Fellows, noting that this request had
come from this group of University student employees.
Mr. Warburton stated that this subject had been discussed
by the DRI Research Planning Committee and the Institute
had subsequently decided to request a similar change in
title for such employees. However, he noted that in all
probability the old title of Research Assistant would con-
tinue to be used on proposals to Federal Agencies to avoid
any possible misunderstanding as to the role these employees
are playing under the terms of grants or contracts. Presi-
dent Zorn stated that a decision had not yet been made to
ask for this change to be effective at UNLV.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the titles be changed
from Assistant to Fellow at UNR and DRI, effective immedi-
ately.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
17. Restoration of Morrill Hall
President Miller reported that the UNR Alumni Association
had requested that the Board of Regents approve a fund
raising drive by the Alumni Association to underwrite the
costs of restoration and rehabilitation of Morrill Hall.
President Miller introduced Mr. Jack Mc Auliffe, President
of the UNR Alumni Association, who stated that this project
was of great interest to the Association and asked for the
following commitments from the Regents:
(1) That the restoration project be approved, at least in
principle; and
(2) That the Association's plan to utilize at least a por-
tion of the building as an Alumni House be confirmed.
President Miller endorsed the request. Chancellor Humphrey
concurred.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the Alumni Association request be
approved.
18. Approval of Transfers of Funds, UNR
President Miller requested approval of the following trans-
fers of funds:
#299 $4000 from Contingency Reserve to President's Office,
UNR, to provide additional operating funds as follows:
Staff travel to attend Chancellor's Advisory
Cabinet and Board of Regents meetings in
Las Vegas $ 866
MT/ST machine rental 6 months @$264 1584
Interview Expense, Dean, General
University Extension 1300
Supplies, telephone, miscellaneous 250
Total $4000
#304 $10,000 from Evening Division, UNR to Off-Campus
Programs, UNR. This represents a subsidy to Off-
Campus programs necessitated by increased salary
rate paid faculty of this program.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the above fund transfers be approved
as recommended.
19. Estimated Financial Program, FY 1970, DRI
Mr. Warburton recalled that in November, 1969, the 1968-69
year end financial report was presented and a closing defi-
cit of $43,847 was acknowledged. He further noted that the
1969-70 financial plan for DRI was presented to the Board
in January, 1970 with the understanding that it would be
revised for the fourth quarter. This revision, which had
been mailed with the agenda, reflects an anticipated end-
of-year deficit of approximately $106,000.
Mr. Warburton proposed the following action by DRI to offset
part of this deficit:
(1) $31,645 in the unrestricted, unallocated category be
used to offset part of the current year's deficit;
(2) Approximately $10,000 of the Principal Investigator's
Fund (set aside from indirect cost recovery during FY
1970) be used; and
(3) Approximately $38,000 of the NSF Institutional Grant
(included in the unrestricted, unallocated balance of
the Financial Statement) be used.
He noted that the sum of these three funds amounts to some
$80,000 leaving approximately $26,000 unfunded deficit
accounts.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that it is highly desirable that
a decision be made concerning the funding of the anticipat-
ed $105,974 deficit in order that FY 1970 can be closed in
the black. He recommended that Mr. Warburton's proposal
as shown above be approved and the necessary transfers be
implemented immediately.
Chancellor Humphrey also noted that $39,595 of the projected
year and deficit occurs in two sales accounts within the
Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics. He recommended that DRI
be instructed to exert every effort to bring these sales
accounts to balance by June 30, 1970. He stated that fol-
lowing the implementation of the above actions, DRI will
have done everything financially feasible to resolve the
projected deficit. He recommended that the Board agree that
the problem be further reviewed at the June meeting and the
Administration be directed to make a recommendation at that
time for the complete funding of any remaining deficit.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
20. Reports on Procedure for Evaluation of Faculty
President Zorn commented on a report filed by UNLV in re-
sponse to a request for information pertaining to the pro-
cedures for the evaluation of faculty. The report was in-
cluded with the agenda as Ref. H and is filed with perma-
nent minutes.
President Miller commented on the report filed in UNR, in-
cluded with the agenda as Ref. I and also filed with perma-
nent minutes.
21. Report on Evaluation of Faculty Interest and Effectiveness
in Student Counseling
Reports on this subject were also transmitted with the
agenda and discussed. UNLV report identified as Ref. H.
UNR report identified as Ref. J. Both reports filed with
permanent minutes.
22. Report on Possibilities for Budgeting for Student Evaluation
of Faculty
President Miller reported that in connection with the bud-
geting of student evaluation of teaching and of courses,
the following costs have been supplied by ASUN with respect
to the program of evaluation conducted during the current
year:
Computer Costs:
Consulting $ 400.00
Card Costs 103.00
Key Punching 285.00
Printing Costs 1,250.00
Supplies 249.34
Total $2,287.34
President Miller stated that as long as the evaluation of
faculty is conducted by the students as it presently is,
the costs for it should be borne by ASUN. However, he said,
if a different kind of evaluation were to be developed by
faculty in cooperation with students, and if it were to be
the responsibility of the Administration of the Departments
and Colleges, then consideration should be given to budget-
ing funds for this in the regular University budget.
Dr. Anderson stated that he was interested in seeing the
students and faculty cooperate in developing a procedure
which is acceptable to both groups.
Miss Del Papa, ASUN President-elect, stated that the ASUN
will soon be making long range plans on how the teacher
evaluation will be approached and will certainly wish to
have faculty cooperation.
President Miller stated that if this evaluation is to be
handled as a cooperative effort, the funding should be
provided, at least in part, by the University; however, if
it is to be done solely by the students, the funding should
also be handled by the students.
Mr. Hug said he believed that student evaluation of the
faculty should be required. Dr. Anderson agreed but sug-
gested they move slowly with a mutually acceptable program.
There was a consensus that the Administration should proceed
to devise a method for participation in student evaluation
of faculty.
23. Report on Tuition and Fee Waivers for Selected Students
President Miller reported that discussions have been held
concerning the problems associated with tuition and fee
waivers for selected Student Officers. He recommended that
such waivers be extended to the President of ASUN, the two
Vice Presidents of ASUN, the President of the ASUN Senate,
the Chief Justice of the Student Judicial Council and the
Editor of the Sagebrush. He recommended that these waivers
be made available during the Fall and Spring semesters of
the full year in which the Student Officers serve. Addi-
tionally, he recommended that a tuition waiver be granted
to the ASUN President for the Summer Session preceding the
full year in which he serves. President Miller noted that
the out-of-state waivers could come from the "other" cate-
gory of out-of-state tuition waivers which are available to
UNR.
President Zorn noted that there is considerable flexibility
for the 30% "other" category at UNLV and provision could be
made from this category for some student leadership waivers.
However, he said he believed it would be appropriate that a
recommendation be sought from the Scholarship Committee.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that tuition and fee waivers be granted to
the following ASUN Officers:
ASUN President, Summer, Fall and Spring
ASUN Vice Presidents, Fall and Spring
President ASUN Senate, Fall and Spring
Chief Justice, Student Judicial Council, Fall and Spring
Editor of Sagebrush, Fall and Spring
24. Report on the Committee of the Whole
Mr. Hug presented the minutes of the March 13, 1970 meeting
of the Committee of the Whole, as follows:
The Committee of the Whole met on the above date in the
Travis Lounge, Jot Travis Student Union, University of
Nevada, Reno, with Chairman Hug presiding.
1. President Miller and members of the UNR Adminis-
tration and faculty presented the following Phase I
proposals:
A. Master of Arts in the Teaching of Foreign
Languages
B. Master of Arts and Ph. D. in Comparative
Literature
C. Master of Science in Information and Computer
Science
D. Baccalaureate Degree in Interdisciplinary
Program in Communication Arts
E. Master's Degree Program in Geography
2. President Miller also distributed written responses
to earlier Phase I proposals by UNLV for:
A. Master of Arts in Anthropology
B. Master of Arts in Sociology
C. Ph. D. in English
Following presentation of the Phase I proposals, Chan-
cellor Humphrey reviewed the earlier action of the Board
when the function of the Committee of the Whole had or-
iginally been defined; that is, that no action would be
taken by the Board of Regents to approve new degree
program proposals until a full review of existing pro-
grams had occurred. That review, he noted, was sched-
uled to follow at this meeting.
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that a ten year plan had
been submitted by each University in 1967 and that an
updated plan would be submitted prior to the 1971 ses-
sion of the Legislature. He pointed out that no approv-
al of the ten year plans had been given at the time they
were presented; rather, it was agreed that new program
proposals would be reviewed in two separate steps:
Phase I, and if authorized by the Board, Phase II. He
noted that Phase I presentations have been made for 35
new programs by the two Campuses; 21 by UNR and 14 by
UNLV.
Chancellor Humphrey reported that the Presidents have
been requested to submit a priority ranking on their
proposals prior to presentation of additional materials.
He suggested the Board could then proceed with the fol-
lowing alternatives:
(1) Postpone and not authorize a given program to
proceed to Phase II;
(2) Authorize the program to proceed to Phase II status
but not authorize its inclusion in the 1971-73 bud-
get request; or
(3) Authorize the program to proceed to Phase II and
agree to include in 1971-73 budget request as a
new program.
Presentations of additional justification for new pro-
grams in priority order, will begin in April and should
be concluded no later than May.
3. Review of Existing Academic Programs
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in the request
for a review of existing programs, the form was not
stipulated; however, it was agreed that emphasis
would be placed upon three areas. Accordingly, the
review proceeded, as follows:
A. Review of all programs (identified by academic
Departments as the cost centers) in the top
quartile of the cost of instruction study and
recommendation made for continuance, discontinu-
ance, or modification of such programs and the
reasons for such recommendations.
Written reports were presented and the recom-
mendations contained therein were endorsed by
each President.
B. Review of all courses in the lowest quartile of
enrollment in 1968-69 by level and recommenda-
tion made concerning the continuance, discon-
tinuance, or modification of such courses and
the reasons for such recommendation.
Written reports were presented and the recom-
mendations contained therein were endorsed by
each President.
C. Review of all courses listed in each catalog
which were not taught in either 1967-68 or
1968-69, identification of the most recent time
the course was taught, and a recommendation
concerning deletion of the course from the
catalog.
Written reports were presented and the recom-
mendations contained therein were endorsed by
each President.
(All reports noted above are on file in the Chancellor's
Office.)
Mr. Hug also reported that the Committee of the Whole had
met on the morning of April 11, 1970 at which time a Phase I
presentation had been made concerning the offering of a bac-
calaureate degree program in Law Enforcement by the Nevada
Technical Institute, UNR. The Committee had also considered
and approved a request from President Zorn that a Bachelor
of Arts in Social Science, on which a Phase I presentation
had been made in February, be allowed to proceed immediately
to Phase II, based on the fact that no additional budget
support is required.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the reports of the Committee of the
Whole be accepted.
25. Designation of Banks
Chancellor Humphrey reported that the University of Nevada
System presently has the following bank accounts:
Board of Regents
First National Bank of Nevada, Reno
Accounts Payable Revolving
First National Bank of Nevada, Reno
Payroll Clearing
First National Bank of Nevada, Reno
State Reimbursement Revolving
First National Bank of Nevada, Reno
Bond Sinking Fund
First National Bank of Nevada, Reno
Auxiliary Enterprises
Security National Bank of Nevada, Reno
Agricultural Experiment Station

Nevada National Bank, Elko
National Defense Student Loan
Pioneer Citizen's Bank, Reno
Petty Cash Revolving
Valley Bank of Nevada, Reno

Mr. Humphrey recommended that two new accounts be establish-
ed July 1, 1970 to accommodate the transfer of all UNLV
accounting to that Campus: (1) at Valley Bank of Nevada,
University Branch, for payroll clearing and Board of Regents
funds, (2) a State Reimbursement Revolving Fund at Nevada
National Bank, Las Vegas, by transfer of $25,000 from a
similar account in Reno. Mr. Humphrey noted that the latter
account should be enlarged by State appropriation or a dif-
ferent method of securing the operating appropriation should
be approved; however, he stated that a further recommenda-
tion on this point would be made when the 1971 Legislative
proposals are presented.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
with Mr. Bilbray abstaining, that the Chancellor's recom-
mendation be approved.
26. Approval of Transfers of Funds, UNR
President Miller requested approval of the following fund
transfers:
#338 $4,000 from Summer Session Contingency Reserve, UNR,
to Classified Salaries ($3900) and Operating ($100),
to provide funds for a clerical position for the
period April 1, 1970 through December 31, 1970.
#339 $10,525 from UNR Contingency Reserve to Supervised
Student Teaching to provide funds to pay Honoraria to
cooperating teachers for supervision of student teach-

Geography Department to fund five Graduate Assistants
for the Spring semester.
#341 $2,848 from UNR Contingency Reserve to Psychology
Department to provide funds for temporary profession-
al teaching positions.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried with-
out dissent that the above transfers be approved as recom-
mended.
27. Cornerstone Ceremonies, UNR
President Miller recommended that May 31, 1970 be approved
as the date for the cornerstone ceremonies for the Chemistry
building (Phase I of the Physical Sciences Complex, UNR),
and that the dedication of the Albert Hilliard Memorial
Plaza also take place on that date. Chancellor Humphrey
concurred.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the date be approved as recommended.
28. Estate of Mabel Stanaway Briggs
President Miller reported that under the terms of the will
of Mabel Stanaway Briggs, UNR received $53,955.45. Interest
earned by this account as of April 9, 1970 brought the total
to $60,573.48. He noted that there were no restrictions on
the gift except that it be used for the benefit of the Uni-
versity of Nevada, Reno, and he recommended that it be used
to fund the following projects.
(1) Relocation of Clark Field $30,000
(2) Serials inventory project in the Library
which will bring the Serials up to satis-
factory standard of accuracy and complete-
ness $16,773
(3) A protective wall above the existing
Special Collections Department wall in the
Library $ 4,000
(4) Steel Library shelving in the Library
to help relieve a serious shelf space
problem $ 5,900
Total $56,573
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the above projects be funded from the
Mabel Stanaway Briggs estate with the stipulation that a
memorial plaque be placed in appropriate areas.
29. Progress Reports on Capital Improvement Projects
A progress report on UNR projects under the supervision of
the Director of Physical Plant, and a status report of the
projects under the supervision of the State Planning Board
were distributed (both reports are on file in the Chancel-
lor's Office).
30. Report on Elko Community College
Dr. Donnelly reported that the Elko Community College Ad-
visory Board had, at a meeting on April 6, 1970, adopted
the following resolution:
"The Advisory Board requests that the University of Nevada
System modify its policy concerning admissions to allow any
student graduated from Elko Community College in an Associ-
ate of Arts or Associate of Science program to be admitted
to the University as a regular student in a baccalaureate
level program."
Dr. Donnelly recommended this request be referred to the
Presidents of UNR and UNLV for reference to their respective
Faculty Senates. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendations be approved.
The meeting adjourned at 12:00 noon.
04-10-1970
