1. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the regular session of March 21, 1975 were
submitted for approval.
It was pointed out that on page 73, in the discussion on
the smoking policy, the motion for reconsideration of earli-
er action was credited incorrectly to Mrs. Fong, rather than
to Mr. Ross.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval of the minutes with the above
correction. Motion seconded by Mr. John Buchanan, carried
without dissent.
2. Memorial to Nedra Joyce
Chairman Buchanan requested approval by the Board of the
following memorial statement to Nedra Joyce:
The Regents of the University of Nevada express their
sincere sorrow over the death of Nedra Joyce, Las
Vegas newswoman and former Regent. Mrs. Joyce served
as a member of the Board until December, 1974, follow-
ing her appointment by Governor O'Callaghan in March,
1973. Although her service as a Regent was not lengthy,
she brought to the Board a great deal of knowledge and
experience in higher education in the State of Nevada,
earned through her dedication to her profession and her
deep interest in the students and faculty of the Uni-
versity System.
Mrs. Joyce will be missed by her family and her friends.
She will also be missed by those of the University com-
munity who knew her and valued her counsel and appreci-
ated her support of higher education.
The Regents extend their sincere and deep sympathy to
Mrs. Joyce's family.
Miss Mason moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss
Thompson, carried without dissent.
3. Report of Gifts and Grants
Acceptance of the gifts and grants as reported by the
Division Presidents was recommended (report identified as
Ref. 3 and filed with permanent minutes).
Mrs. Fong moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss Thompson,
carried without dissent.
4. Intercollegiate Athletics Fee, UNLV
President Baepler recommended that, effective with the Fall,
1975 semester, the $9 per semester athletics fee be discon-
tinued, with an alternative to be offered whereby students
would be permitted to purchase season tickets for basket-
ball and football at a greatly reduced price and seats will
be set aside for students on a per-game basis at a price
substantially below existing box office prices. Further
details of the proposal were contained in a memorandum
from President Baepler (identified as Ref. 4 and filed with
permanent minutes). Chancellor Humphrey recommended ap-
proval.
Mr. Ross expressed concern that such action might be con-
sidered by the Legislature and by donors to the inter-
collegiate athletics program as failure on the part of the
students to support a program that receives heavy support
from the community and might therefore have an adverse ef-
fect on the continued support from these areas.
There was discussion of the alternative of suspending the
athletics fee for one year only with the final determina-
tion to be made after an evaluation of that experience.
Miss Thompson moved that the intercollegiate athletics fee
at UNLV be suspended for one year, beginning Fall semester,
1975, with a final determination to be made at the 4th
meeting in 1976. Motion seconded by Miss Mason, carried
with Mr. Ross abstaining.
5. Proposal for Exceptional Children's Service Program
President Baepler requested approval of the establishment
within the Special Education Department, College of Educa-
tion, of a unit to be called "The Exceptional Children's
Service Program", which will provide a series of special
tests for exceptional children. He explained that this
type of service has been offered by the Department in a
limited way but the demand has expanded to where it is now
necessary that the activity become self supporting. Presi-
dent Baepler also noted that this proposal from the UNLV
College of Education was also joined by the UNR College of
Education and endorsed by President Milam. He requested
that a fee schedule for this service, to be offered both
at UNR and UNLV, be established based upon task units as
they relate to any of the tests or procedures administered
to each student. The cost per test in terms of task units
will be based upon the family's ability to pay as deter-
mined by Federal guidelines. The maximum fee per unit will
be $15 and the minimum fee per unit will be $1, with the
unit values for the tests varying from 1 through 20 units.
Revenues generated from this program will be placed in a
special account at each Campus from which the tests and
equipment needed to service the students in the program
will be provided. Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval
for both Campuses, effective immediately.
Mr. Ross moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissent.
6. Proposed Change in Room and Board Rates, UNLV
President Baepler recommended an increase in the room and
board rates at UNLV, effective Fall semester, 1975. He
noted that presently the students are offered 20 meals per
week at a combined room and board charge of $635 per semes-
ter. Effective with the Fall semester, it is proposed to
offer an option of a 12-meal per week plan, at a combined
room and board charge of $720 per semester, or a 19-meal
plan at a combined room and board charge of $754 per semes-
ter. Further details of the proposal were included in a
memorandum from President Baepler (identified as Ref. 6
and filed with permament minutes). Chancellor Humphrey
recommended approval.
Two UNLV students spoke in opposition to the proposed
increase.
Miss Thompson moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Ross,
carried without dissent.
7. Summer Session Salary Schedule, 1975, UNLV
President Baepler presented the following proposal from
the UNLV Senate, with his endorsement, for a Summer Session
salary schedule for UNLV for 1975:
Base Annual Salary Maximum Summary Salary
(per credit taught)
Over $16,000 $525
$14,500 - $15,999 $475
$13,500 - $14,499 $425
Under $13,500 $375
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.

carried without dissent.
Upon motion by Miss Thompson, seconded by Mr. Ross, 4 additional
items were added to the agenda.

President Donnelly stated that it is anticipated that the
student fee income for 1974-75 for NNCC will exceed the
projected income by $6000, due to increased enrollment.
He requested approval to augment the 1974-75 Work Program
for NNCC by $6000 and to use the additional revenue to
purchase instructional supplies and equipment to serve
the increase in students.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred, noting that such augmenta-
tion also requires approval of the Department of Adminis-
tration and the Governor.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss
Thompson, carried without dissent.
11. NSU Land Foundation
President Baepler reviewed the history of the NSU Land Foun-
dation, noting that it was incorporated in 1967 as a non-
profit corporation with trustees to be appointed by the
Board of Regents. Its purpose is to acquire land in the
vicinity of the Campus and to sell the land to the Univer-
sity for cost plus accrued expenses connected with the land
acquisition (e. g., interest on bonds issued).
Dr. Baepler noted that since its inception, the Foundation
has sold to the University 116 acres of land at a cost of
$1,700,645 and presently owns approximately 40 acres of
land with a carrying value on its books of $1,391,000.
Present members of the Board of Trustees, which meets on
call by the President of the University or the President
of the Foundation, are:
E. Parry Thomas, President
Herbert Grier, Vice President
James Cashman, Assistant Secretary
Dr. Juanita White
Harold Jacobsen
J. Kell Housells
Jerome Mack
William Morris
James Bilbray
Deil O. Gustofson
Neil D. Humphrey, ex officio without vote
Donald Baepler, ex officio without vote
Herman Westfall, ex officio without vote (also serves
as Secretary-Treasurer)
Chairman Buchanan introduced Mr. E. Parry Thomas, Presi-
dent of the NSU Land Foundation, who then reviewed for
the Board the activities of the Foundation since its in-
ception. Mr. Thomas offered on behalf of the Foundation
the continued support of its members toward the development
of UNLV.
Mr. Ross moved that an ad hoc committee of the Board meet
with the Foundation trustees to discuss new appointments
to the Board of Trustees. Motion seconded by Miss
Thompson, carried without dissent.
12. Cooperative Agreement, NNCC and Public School Districts
President Donnelly requested authorization to enter into a
cooperative arrangement with the Elko County School Dis-
trict and the White Pine County School District whereby
high school seniors may take Community College classes at
Northern Nevada Community College. He requested that the
Board's policy on superior high school students as reflect-
ed in Section 5.1 of Chapter 10, Title 4, of the Board of
Regents Handbook be extended to provide that classes
would be offered by NNCC at the high school facilities with
instructors employed by the School District and the College
to insure that necessary qualifications are met. The regis-
tration and capital improvement fees would be waived inas-
much as the School District would be paying the instruc-
tional salaries. The student activity fee would also be
waived inasmuch as the students would still be high school
students.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval on a trial basis
for the 1975-76 academic year with a report and recommenda-
tion to be made after evaluation of that experience and with
the provision that registration for such students be handled
separately and not be recorded as part of the regular FTE
enrollment figures.
Miss Thompson moved approval of the President's recommenda-
tion as modified by the Chancellor with the further pro-
vision that a report be brought back to the Board at the
July, 1976 meeting. Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, car-
ried without dissent.
13. Community Services Program, CCD
President Donnelly proposed the following changes in the
community services programs at the Community College Divi-
sion, effective July 1, 1975:
1. All community service courses and programs be budgeted
separately from the regular budget in each College.
2. Credit continue to be given for these courses and be
applicable only to an Associate in General Studies
degree.
3. Registration fees for each community service course
be variable and flexible to cover the cost of in-
structors' salaries, supplies and equipment needed,
and overhead costs. Fees shall be payable in full
at time of registration.
4. No capital improvement fees or student activity fees
be assessed for community service courses.
5. The programs be wholly supported from the registration
fees and not from State appropriated funds.
Further details of the proposal were contained in a memoran-
dum from President Donnelly (identified as Ref. 14 and filed
with permanent minutes). Chancellor Humphrey recommended
approval, effective July 1, 1975.
Mr. Ross moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss Thompson,
carried without dissent.
The meeting adjourned for lunch and a meeting of the Investment
Advisory Committee and reconvened at 1:25 P.M.
14. Request to Write Off Student Fees as Uncollectible, CCD
President Donnelly requested authority to write off $14,342
at Clark County Community College and $20,583 at WNCC in
uncollectible receivables, noting that the reason for the
problem was that some students were placed on deferred-
payment plans and have not completed payments. Additional
details concerning the problem were stated in Ref. 15A,
filed with permanent minutes. Reports by the Director of
Internal Audit were also included with the agenda (identi-
fied as Ref. 15B and filed with permanent minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey noted that a list of students with
delinquent accounts at CCCC totalling $14,406.55 and a
second list of students with delinquent accounts at WNCC
totalling $20,583 were included with the Executive Session
agenda. He recommended that these accounts be written off
as uncollectible and holds placed on all records of the
students involved. He noted that this problem occurred
because Board policy was not followed by WNCC and CCCC
but stated that President Donnelly has taken necessary
action to correct administrative procedures.
Mrs. Fong moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissent.
15. Change in Requirement for Student Teachers, UNR
President Milam noted that in 1968 the Board of Regents
approved a recommendation by the College of Education
Selection and Retention Committee and the Dean that the
completion of a placement folder with the Placement Officer
of the University of Nevada be a required part of the stu-
dent teaching course. The fee for this service is $3.
President Milam stated that it has now been determined that
this provision could be contrary to HEW regulations issued
to implement the Buckley Amendment. Accordingly, the Col-
lege of Education Policy and Curriculum Committee has rec-
ommended that this requirement be abolished, effective
immediately. President Milam and Chancellor Humphrey
concurred.
Mrs. Fong moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss Thompson,
carried without dissent.
16. Special Investment Accounts, UNR
President Milam reported that there is presently a balance
of $54,476.50 in the Special Investment Account for the
College of Education building, and a balance of $474,791.79
in the Special Investment Account for the Physical Educa-
tion building. These funds have accrued from interest
earned from investment of the revenue bond proceeds. Ad-
ditional funds were to be placed in both accounts on April
14, 1975. Dr. Milam stated that all obligations incurred
in the construction of these two facilities have been met
and he requested that the accounts be closed and the bal-
ances be transmitted to First National Bank to be used in
the retirement of the revenue bonds. Chancellor Humphrey
recommended approval.
Mr. Ross moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss Thompson,
carried without dissent.
17. Augmentation of 1974-75 Work Program, UNR
President Milam reported that it is anticipated that revenue
at UNR will be increased by $75,000 over that projected in
the work program. This increase in funds will be derived
from miscellaneous income, interest earned on investment of
surplus operating monies, and indirect costs recovered from
research and training grants. The funds will be expended
for payment of utilities for the Campus.
President Milam and Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the
Department of Administration and Governor O'Callaghan be
requested to authorize augmentation of the UNR budget for
1974-75 by $75,000, as indicated above.
Miss Thompson moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss
Mason, carried without dissent.
18. Revision of Estimative Budgets, UNR
President Milam requested approval of the following re-
visions of 1974-75 Estimative Budgets:
A. Stead Dining Commons - Increased revenue is derived
from increase in catering sales due to extensive pro-
grams of the National College of the State Judiciary
and the National Council of Juvenile Court Judges.

20. S-Bar-S Ranch
Vice President Pine reported that bids were opened April
17, 1975 for a 3-bedroom mobile home to be placed on the
S-Bar-S Ranch to provide housing for ranch personnel. Bids
were as follows:
Carson Mobile Home (did not meet specs) $16,353
Carson Mobile Home 26' x 64' 18,158
U. S. Mobile Home 24' x 64' 20,460
Vice President Pine recommended that the bid of Carson
Mobile Home for $18,158 be accepted with funds to be pro-
vided from the Helen Marye Thomas Trust account, subject
to approval by the Trust Officer of FNB. President Milam
and Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Ross,
carried without dissent.
21. B-26 Aviation Sales, DRI
Acting President Smith recalled that in July, 1974 the Board
approved a $42,000 loan from the DRI Contingency Reserve to
the B-26 Aviation Sales Account to fund that operation un-
til the disposition of pending research grants was known.
He reported that all pending grant applications for the use
of the B-26 aircraft have been rejected. Accordingly, the
facility has been closed down, the B-26 has been placed in
storage and the hangar turned back to the City of Reno.
Dr. Smith recommended that the balance of $5630 in the B-26
Engine Replacement Reserve Account be transferred to the
B-26 Aviation Sales Operating Account to cover a deficit
in that account, and the $42,000 loan from the Contingency
Reserve be written off. Future expenditures for the B-26
consist of $35 per month tiedown fee and will be paid from
Institutional funds available to the Laboratory of Atmos-
pheric Physics. Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss
Thompson, carried without dissent.
22. LAP 1974-75 Financial Status
Acting President Smith reported that the Laboratory of
Atmospheric Physics is presently $109,200 short of meeting
its FY 1975 salary commitments. He estimated that $64,000
of this amount can be recovered from grants and contracts
during the balance of the year, leaving an unfunded balance
of $45,200. In addition to this $45,200, operating needs
totaling $14,800 are estimated, for a total required by
LAP of $60,000 to finish FY 1975.
Dr. Smith requested authorization to fund this $60,000 by
(1) transfer of $10,000 from the Principal Investigator's
Fund (which will leave a zero balance); (2) transfer of
$20,000 from the Laboratory of Desert Biology; and (3)
transfer of $30,000 from the DRI Contingency Reserve. The
resulting status of DRI Contingency Reserve was included
with the agenda (identified as Ref. 23 and filed with
permanent minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the transfers
requested by Dr. Smith and further recommended that: (1)
all previous Internal Audit recommendations (specifically
the report of February 19, 1975) concerning encumbrances of
salary and wage commitments against an actual current reve-
nue source, be effected by DRI July 1, 1975, and (2) that
no LAP personnel be continued into the 1975-76 FY for whom
funding is not available.
Mrs. Fong moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissent.
23. Report of Investment Advisory Committee
Dr. Lombardi presented the minutes of the Investment
Advisory Committee meeting of March 21, 1975. Acceptance
of the Committee's report was recommended.
Mrs. Fong moved acceptance of the report. Motion seconded
by Miss Thompson, carried without dissent.
24. Statistical Data on University Employees
Chancellor Humphrey noted the inclusion in the agenda (iden-
tified as Ref. 25 and filed with permanent minutes) of a
report requested by Miss Mason reflecting a statistical
breakdown of the number of women employees, men employees,
number of minorities, handicapped persons, positions in
which they are employed (i. e., administrative or teaching);
and whether they are employed on "hard" (i. e., State ap-
propriated) or "soft" money (i. e., grants or contracts).
Miss Mason stated that she had requested this report be
included on the agenda so that all of the Regents might
have a better understanding of the composition of the
faculty and staff at the University.
Dr. Patricia Geuder, speaking on behalf of the UNLV Women's
Caucus, charged that certain acts of discrimination had
occurred at UNLV in the promotion and salary advancement
of women members of the professional staff and offered
details of 4 cases which she stated demonstrated this
charge. She offered on behalf of the Women's Caucus to
discuss the details of the cases with the Regents in
Executive Session if it were considered desirable. (Dr.
Geuder's statement is on file in the Chancellor's Office.)
Mr. Fernando Romero, representing the Nevada Association
of Latin Americans, Inc., expressed concerns on behalf of
his organization over what he charged were violations by
the University of Federal guidelines for the employment of
women and minorities by organizations doing business with
Federal agencies. Mr. Romero stated that he had not deter-
mined the areas in which the violations had occurred, add-
ing that he had not seen the report which was under dis-
cussion by the Board.
Miss Eleanor Walker, representing the Las Vegas Chapter of
NAACP, also charged the University with violations of Fed-
eral guidelines, a determination she stated she had made
from visual inspection, and urged the Board to take im-
mediate and necessary action to implement an affirmative
action program. Miss Walker noted that she also had not
had an opportunity to see the report the Board was con-
sidering; however, in response to a question from the
Chancellor, she stated that she had not been refused a
copy of the report nor had she requested it.
25. UNS Articulation
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that at the March meeting
Miss Mason had requested that there be discussion con-
cerning complaints by students who state they are ex-
periencing difficulty in transferring credits earned at
Clark County Community College to a baccalaureate program
at UNLV. In response to that request, Dr. Humphrey re-
quested that President Donnelly review with the Board the
regulations governing such transfers and the procedures
followed by CCD personnel in advising students.
President Donnelly spoke of some of the issues involved
with articulation and noted that there is presently a
mechanism for dealing with these problems. He suggested
that when a student reaches a point where his problem can-
not be resolved by the Administration, the Articulation
Board is the appropriate mechanism for resolution.
Miss Patricia Miltenberger, Dean of Students for WNCC, Dr.
J. Stephen Nicholson, Executive Vice President for CCCC,
and Dr. William Berg, Executive Vice President for NNCC,
spoke concerning the efforts made at each of the 3 Com-
munity College Campuses to assist the student in his
transfer to the University of Nevada or to other institu-
tions.
26. Veterinary Medicine
Chairman Buchanan noted the introduction in the 1975 Legis-
lature of AB 390 which would appropriate $75,000 per year
for the 1975-77 biennium for the purpose of instituting an
advanced first year professional school in veterinary
medicine.
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the procedure followed in the
Phase I and Phase II presentations for proposed new pro-
grams, recalling the confusion that existed prior to the
approval by the Board of this policy. He suggested that
there were two issues involved that the Board must deal
with:
(1) Whether the Board wishes to direct the establishment
of a one-year program in veterinary medicine; and
(2) Whether the Board wishes to maintain the integrity
of the planning for academic programs within the
University of Nevada System.
Chancellor Humphrey cautioned against any action by the
Board which would set aside or circumvent the planning
procedure which the Board had previously directed.
Dr. Humphrey also commented on the proposal now under con-
sideration by the WICHE Commissioners whereby Nevada could
contract with Colorado State University to reserve 5 places
each year for 20 years for Nevada students in its veterinary
science program.
He also commented on AB 389 which, if enacted, would allow
the WICHE Commissioners to contract for student places for
Nevada students in professional schools outside the WICHE
states. He added that it appeared that AB 389 has an ex-
cellent chance of being approved.
Dr. Beaulieu, UNR Faculty Senate Chairman, recalled that
a proposal for a one-year veterinary science program had
been submitted by the College of Agriculture in 1973. It
had not been approved by the Faculty Senate but had been
returned to the College with suggestions for changes and
assurance that it would be reconsidered by the Senate at
such time as the College wished to resubmit it. He stated
that the proposal had not been resubmitted by the College.
President Milam expressed agreement with the Chancellor
concerning the implications of abandoning the planning
procedure for new programs and urged the Board not to pre-
empt the faculty in the development of new programs.
Mr. Ross stated that he had been informed by members of
both Houses of the Legislature that they believed the Uni-
versity has taken a negative attitude on the bill and noted
that the University is being accused of killing the bill
because it is not the University's bill. Mr. Ross said he
agreed with the Chancellor's remarks but believed there
was a need to cooperate with the Legislature. He charged
that the WICHE concept had failed. He also pointed out
that all that would be needed for the program would be
the addition of a few courses and some personnel. He sug-
gested that the University let the Legislature know that
the Board agrees with the idea of a veterinary program, in
principle, and requested the Board to pass a resolution
endorsing the concept and agree to work with the Legisla-
ture during the next session for funding of such a program.
Mr. Ross moved that a resolution be adopted to indicate that
the Board of Regents endorses the concept of graduate pro-
gram in veterinary medicine.
President Milam suggested that some clarification of what
is proposed would be helpful, noting that the proposal
calls for a one-year extension program of Colorado State
University. It would not change the entrance requirements
that CSU would apply to Nevada students; i. e., 3.5 G. P. A.
or better. Also, he pointed out, there is no assurance
that CSU would accept the transfer of credits earned at
UNR. Students going from the one-year program at UNR to
the second year at another institution would actually be
transferring from CSU.
Mr. Ross' motion seconded by Mrs. Fong.
Dr. Beaulieu urged that there be a study of the need and
cost of a veterinary program. Dr. Lombardi agreed, stating
that in his opinion the Board needed more facts and more
planning.
Mr. Ross restated his motion that a resolution be adopted
whereby the Board agree in principle with the concept of a
veterinary medicine program, the type and need and size to
be studied within the next biennium and be presented to the
Legislature at the next session in a more precise way. Mo-
tion as restated seconded by Mrs. Fong.
Chancellor Humphrey commented on the Mac Millan bequest
which makes approximately $500,000 available provided the
University of Nevada establishes a veterinary medicine
school within 5 years of the date of Mrs. Mac Millan's
death. This offer expires in 1976. He stated that if the
University does not make claim to the money, it goes to
the University of California, Davis. Whether or not this
one-year program as proposed by AB 390 would qualify has
been studied by Counsel and he asked Mr. Hug to comment.
Mr. Hug stated that if the proposed program is designated
as a school, and if it fits in and is transferable as the
first year of a regular veterinary school, it would qualify
and would probably be accepted by the court. He pointed out
that it would, of course, be subject to contest by UCD if
they chose to do so and there would be some room for argu-
ment. However, he stated, in his opinion it could be sub-
stantiated before the court, provided it does qualify as
the first year of a veterinary school.
Chancellor Humphrey also reviewed the history of the law
school, noting that in 1973 the Board of Regents had re-
quested that feasibility studies be made of the need for
professional schools of veterinary medicine, dentistry,
law and a four-year medical school. With the cooperation
of the Governor this matter was discussed with legislative
leaders but no support was secured. The Legislature did,
however, adopt ACR 48 which stated that a law school was
needed, that it should be at UNLV, and directed the Board
of Regents to raise funds to pay the costs of a feasibility
study. This was accomplished, a feasibility study com-
pleted, approved by the Board and presented to the 1975
Legislature. Chancellor Humphrey noted that the law school
has not received support from this session of the Legisla-
ture.
Dr. Lombardi suggested that the appropriate course of action
for the Board would be to endorse AB 389 and then conduct
a feasibility study of the eventual establishment of a
veterinary medicine school to be discussed with the Legis-
lature during the next session.
Chancellor Humphrey suggested that the Board acknowledge
the support within the Legislature for the establishment
of a veterinary medicine school, pledge to go back to the
1977 Session with a full report concerning the feasibility
of such a program with a recommendation from the University
at that time.
Mr. Hug also suggested that the Legislature be requested
to make the proposed appropriation contingent upon a
determination of the feasibility of the school in order
to preserve the Mac Millan money.
Mr. Ross moved to amend his previous motion to provide
that the Board acknowledge the support of the Legislature
and agree that it would accept the funds proposed in AB
390 contingent upon approval by the Board of Regents of
the feasibility of establishment of such a school, with
the understanding that if the Board does not approve es-
tablishment of a veterinary school, the money would revert
to the General Fund. Motion to amend was not seconded.
President Baepler endorsed the earlier remarks of Presi-
dent Milam and Chancellor Humphrey and urged that the
Board retain its policy on the academic program planning
for the University.
At the Chancellor's request, Mr. Jessup commented on the
preliminary data he had gathered on the costs of a veter-
inary medicine program, noting that information received
from Colorado State University indicates that a one-year
program requires between $130,000 and $140,000 per year
in operating costs.
Mr. Ross moved to further amend his motion to specify
that the Board desires the appropriation be contingent
upon a normal feasibility study and Board of Regents ap-
proval. Motion to amend seconded by Mrs. Fong.
Dr. Lombardi moved to table further discussion. Motion
seconded by Mr. John Buchanan, carried with Mr. Ross
opposing.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00 P.M. and reconvened at 9:15 A.M.,
Saturday, April 19.
Members present: Mr. James L. Buchanan, II
(Saturday, 4/19) Mr. John Buchanan
Mrs. Lilly Fong
Louis E. Lombardi, M. D.
Miss Brenda Mason
Miss Helen Thompson (for part of the meeting)
Members absent: Fred M. Anderson, M. D.
Mrs. Molly Knudtsen
Mr. John Tom Ross
Officers and staff who were present the previous day were also
present on Saturday.
27. Membership Requirements of Fraternities and Sororities
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that at the March meeting
Mrs. Fong had requested a report on the membership re-
quirements of the fraternities and sororities presently
approved by the University and the procedures used for
handling membership termination. The Board had also re-
quested advice from Mr. Hug concerning the University's
obligation to participate in any litigation between a
fraternity or sorority and one of its members seeking to
discontinue membership.
President Baepler and President Milam discussed the mem-
bership requirements, both at the chapter and the national
level, for those organizations presently active on the two
Campuses.
Mr. Hug commented on his letter dated April 16, which was
distributed at the Board meeting, and his conclusion, as
stated in that letter, as follows:
It is therefore my opinion that Federal legislation
does not require University intervention into member-
ship practices of fraternities and sororities. There
is also no State legislation which requires such in-
tervention. Under current University rules and regu-
lations, fraternities and sororities are private or-
ganizations whose membership practices and procedures
for termination of membership in the organization are
up to the organization itself.
28. Approval of Fund Transfers
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the following
fund transfers:
#75-19 $10,581 from the Contingency Reserve to Computing
Center, Reno Operations, to augment operating
funds for the balance of the fiscal year. An
offsetting transfer has been made to the Contin-
gency Reserve from salary savings.
#75-20 $9000 from the Ending Fund Balance of University
of Nevada Press Sales Account to operating to
accommodate the production of the 3rd title in
the Basque Book Series.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong,
carried without dissent.
29. Amendments to Community College/University Articulation
Policy
Chancellor Humphrey introduced Dr. Owen A. Knorr, Director
of Program Planning, who serves as Chairman of the Articu-
lation Board. Dr. Knorr presented the following recommenda-
tions of the Articulation Board for amendments to the Ar-
ticulation Policy (Title 4, Chapter 20, Board of Regents
Handbook):
Section 2. Admissions
9. The Associate of Arts degree, consisting of University
parallel lower division courses, granted by the Com-
munity College Division, will be accepted for Junior
standing by the University Divisions of the University
of Nevada System. This in no way implies satisfaction
of University lower division requirements.
Section 3. Evaluation of Transfer Courses
2. All University parallel lower division courses will be
accepted for transfer. Non-University parallel courses
may be accepted at the discretion of the receiving Uni-
versity. Transfer credit is granted for University
parallel lower division courses completed with a grade
of "D" or better.
Chancellor Humphrey reported that the proposed amendments
had been reviewed and endorsed by the Presidents and the
Division Senates. He recommended approval, effective
immediately.
Miss Mason moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong,
carried without dissent.
30. Proposed Revision of University Code
Chancellor Humphrey reported that the UNR Faculty Senate
had proposed an amendment to the University Code to add
to Section 5.3.25 the following paragraph:
(i) Lie detector tests shall not be used in conjunc-
tion with University of Nevada personnel proceed-
ings nor in relation to University of Nevada
personnel matters.
Dr. Humphrey noted that the Code provides that proposed
amendments shall be referred to all Senates for considera-
tion and recommendation. At least two months shall be al-
lowed for such consideration and the Board shall take final
action after giving due consideration to the opinions of
the Senate representatives and officers of the University.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that this proposed amend-
ment be referred to the Senates as required by the amend-
ment procedure for the Code and that action by the Board
be scheduled for the July 18, 1975 meeting of the Board.
Dr. Patrick Beaulieu, UNR Senate Chairman, distributed a
resolution which he reported had been passed by the UNR
Senate at the time the amendment had been proposed. Reso-
lution on file in the Chancellor's Office.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval of the Chancellor's recommenda-
tion. Motion seconded by Mr. Buchanan, carried without
dissent.
31. Proposed Revision of Refund Policy, UNR and UNLV
At the request of President Milam and President Baepler,
a recommendation for a proposed revision of the refund
policy was withdrawn from the agenda for further discussion
with ASUN and CSUN.
32. Proposed Revision of Deferred Payment Policy, UNR and UNLV
Chancellor Humphrey noted that Title 4, Chapter 13, Section
7 of the Board of Regents Handbook reflects the Board's
policy on deferred payments, as follows:
(1) Contracts for delayed payment of fees, tuition and
board and room are available to regular full-time
students at UNR and UNLV, allowing for two payments,
1/2 upon registration and the 2nd half by the Friday
of the 5th week of instruction, with a grace period
of 5 working days.
(2) Nonpayment of the 2nd installment shall result in
cancellation of registration.
President Baepler and President Milam jointly recommended
that the deferred payment plan apply only to total regis-
tration fees and tuition exceeding $200 per semester, in
accordance with the following schedule, with the 2nd and
final payment due by the end of the 5th week to coincide
with the end of the refund period.
Total Fee Deferred Payment
$201 - $ 250 $100
251 - 300 125
301 - 350 150
351 - 400 175
401 - 450 200
451 - 500 225
501 - 550 250
551 - 600 275
601 - 650 300
651 - 700 325
701 - 750 350
751 - 800 375
801 - 850 400
851 - 900 425
901 - 950 450
951 - 1000 475
The policy for delayed payment of board and room charges
would remain unchanged. Chancellor Humphrey recommended
approval, effective Fall semester, 1975.
Mrs. Fong moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss Mason,
carried without dissent.
33. Proposal for the Use of ACT-APP Admissions Procedure
Dr. Knorr presented a recommendation by the UNS Articulation
Board and the Admissions Officers for approval of the ACT-
APP as an additional method for applying for admission to
the University of Nevada System. He noted that the ACT-APP
(American College Testing Program Application) is an out-
come of nationally administered tests conducted by the
American College Testing Program. The proposal for the
use of this procedure was included with the agenda (identi-
fied as Ref. 34 and filed with permanent minutes). Presi-
dents Donnelly, Baepler and Milam and Chancellor Humphrey
recommended approval, effective immediately.
Miss Mason moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong,
carried without dissent.
34. Proposed Change in Grants-in-Aid Regulations
Discussion of this item was deferred due to the absence
of Dr. Fred Anderson who had originally proposed the change.
35. Salary Schedule, 1975-77
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that proposed salary schedules
for UNR/UNLV and for CCD for 1975-77 were presented to the
March meeting to allow for consideration by the Administra-
tion and the Senates so that a special proposal could be
presented to the April meeting. As was noted in March, he
recalled, if the Legislature appropriates at the approxi-
mate level recommended by the Governor, there will be
enough money for an average increase in professional com-
pensation of 12.1% for 1975-76. 1% is required to fund
the increase in retirement premiums, leaving 11.1% to be
budgeted for salary increases.
Mr. Jessup explained the various proposals for salary ad-
justments as contained in the agenda, noting particularly
those recommendations of the UNR and UNLV Faculty Senates
and that of the CCD Senates. Under the proposal by UNR
and UNLV, 15% of the total money available for salary in-
creases would be allocated for merit increase; 42.5% of
the total available would be distributed through an across-
the-board percentage increase of 4.7%, and 42.5% of the
total available would be distributed through an across-the-
board dollar increase of $740 for "B" contract positions
in the Universities.
Under the proposal by CCD Senates, 27% of the total money
available for salary increases would be allocated for merit
increases, with the remainder of the total available money
distributed through an across-the-board dollar increase of
$1050 for "B" contract positions in CCD. Details of the
proposals are included in Ref. 36 (filed with permanent
minutes).
The Presidents and Chancellor Humphrey recommended that
the salary schedule proposed by the UNR and UNLV Faculty
Senates (identified in Ref. 36 as Attachment D) be adopted
for UNR, UNLV and the Unit, and the salary schedule pro-
posed by the CCD Faculty Senates (identified in Ref. 36
as Attachment H) be adopted for CCD.
Supporting statements of the Chancellor's recommendation
were made by the respective Chairpersons of the UNR and
UNLV Senates. Miss Martinez, Chairperson of the Unit
Senate, expressed opposition on behalf of the Unit Senate
to the adoption of the salary schedule contained in the
Chancellor's recommendation and reported the Unit Senate's
support of the salary schedule as proposed at the March
meeting.
Miss Mason moved approval of the Chancellor's recommenda-
tion. Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong, carried without dis-
sent.
Miss Thompson entered the meeting at 9:55 A.M., during the
preceding discussion.
36. Augmentation of UNLV Work Program for 1974-75
President Baepler reported that UNLV anticipates that it
will receive $87,000 as its share of the Federal Land
Grant money. Upon receipt of this money he stated, there
will be $83,000 in excess of budgeted revenue. He re-
quested authorization to augment the UNLV Work Program by
that amount, with the funds to be spent on the following
items:
1. Library books $10,000
2. Two 4-wheel drive vehicles for in-
struction, field trips in Geology,
Biology, Anthropology, Engineering 13,000
3. Hillside mower - safety regulations
require such a mower for use in hilly
areas 8,000
4. Fence - to enclose an area adjacent
to the Engineering building for ex-
periments on solar energy 3,000
5. Optics-microscope for use in Biology
in new Life Science building 20,000
6. Musical instruments for use in Music
education program 5,000
7. Scintillation counter for radioisotope
studies in Biochemistry 10,000
8. Portable public address system for use
at official University functions, in-
cluding athletic events 10,000
9. Etching press for reproduction of
etchings in instructional programs
of Art Department 4,000
Total $83,000
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval, noting that
this augmentation requires the concurrence of the Depart-
ment of Administration and of the Governor.
Miss Thompson moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Buchanan, carried without dissent.
37. Augmentation of Construction Budget, NNCC
President Donnelly reported that the unobligated funds re-
maining in the construction budget for Northern Nevada
Community College are inadequate to complete the proposed
landscaping this Spring. He requested that the Board
authorize the use of up to $15,000 of capital improvement
fee funds to supplement the project budget for landscap-
ing at NNCC. Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval,
subject to verification of availability of funds.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong,
carried without dissent.
38. Legislative Program Report
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the status of pending legisla-
tion affecting the University.
Discussion resumed on Item 27, Veterinary Medicine.
Chairman Buchanan requested a recommendation from the Chan-
cellor. Chancellor Humphrey requested consideration of the
following resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 75-1
WHEREAS, a significant number of Legislators have
indicated interest in improvement in the access af-
forded Nevadans to enter veterinary medicine; and
WHEREAS, the need to increase the number of large
animal veterinary medicine practitioners in rural
Nevada is believed to be the single most important
factor in the legislative interest; and
WHEREAS, a proposal for the establishment of a veteri-
nary medicine program has not been advanced through
established academic planning channels to the Board
of Regents in order that the Board might consider
such a proposal in an orderly way, with all the facts
presented and with all costs known and having the ad-
vantage of advice by the various faculties and the
Administration; and
WHEREAS, the Nevada Veterinary Medicine Association
has polled its members concerning the establishment
of a one year program of veterinary medicine at UNR
and that group voted 49 to 1 against such action; and
WHEREAS, WICHE has within the last month informed
Nevada of the probability that it will be possible to
contract with Colorado State University for 5 student
places per year for 20 years in that institution's
veterinary medicine school; and
WHEREAS, the enactment seems assured of enabling legis-
lation which will make it possible for Nevada WICHE
Commissioners to contract with professional schools
in any state; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Regents wishes to do its best
within available resources to serve the needs of
Nevada for trained personnel and the needs of Nevadans
for access to educational programs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of
Regents respectfully suggests that the Legislature
consider the establishment of a requirement that
WICHE students placed in veterinary medicine schools
contract with the State to devote the practice primar-
ily to large animals and to return to Nevada to prac-
tice and make their services available to the rural
areas for a specified period of time after their gradu-
ation, under penalty of complete repayment of the State
monies which will have been provided for their education
in veterinary medicine; and
That the Board of Regents urges the Nevada WICHE Com-
missioners to pursue completion of the contract with
Colorado State University and to exert every effort to
develop contracts with other states for placement of
veterinary medicine students who will agree to meet
the need for large animal practitioners in rural
Nevada; and
That the Board hereby instructs the University Adminis-
tration to offer every assistance to the WICHE Commis-
sioners, the Governor and the Legislature to bring this
program to fruition in order that these needs might be
met.
Miss Thompson moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
39. Work Load Proposal
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the earlier discussion of the
Faculty Work Loan Proposal which had been initiated with
the adoption by the Board of Resolution No. 74-3. This
resolution referred draft regulations to the Faculty Sen-
ates and to the Administration for review and recommenda-
tion in order that adoption of a set of regulations might
be accomplished prior to the issuance of faculty contracts
for 1975-76. The Board agreed, at the March meeting, that
action would be scheduled at the April meeting.
Dr. Humphrey noted also that subsequent to the March meet-
ing, they had met with the Presidents of the instruction
divisions (or their designees), and Senate Chairpersons
to discuss Resolution No. 74-3 and possible alternatives.
Following that meeting, Dr. Humphrey stated, he had pre-
pared a revision to the earlier document in an attempt
to interpret possible areas of agreement. The proposed
revision was included with the agenda (identified as Ref.
33B and filed with permanent minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey also noted that an alternate document
had been proposed by President Milam and was included with
the agenda (identified as Ref. 33C and filed with permanent
minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey reported that President Donnelly, Pres-
ident Baepler and the UNLV Senate had endorsed the docu-
ment identified as Ref. 33B. The Unit Senate had declined
to take action since the documents affected only the in-
structional divisions.
Dr. Humphrey requested comments from the UNR and CCD
Senates.
Mr. Joseph Doser, Chairman of the WNCC Faculty Senate,
stated that the WNCC Senate endorsed the document identi-
fied as Ref. 33B, with some minor changes in wording in
Section 12, whereby the 5th line of that section would be
changed to read "The prospectus shall classify these
responsibilities as any one, all or any combination, of
the following: ...".
Dr. Beaulieu, Chairman of the UNR Faculty Senate, stated
that he had been directed to request the Board not to
adopt any regulations. If regulations are to be adopted,
he stated, the UNR Faculty Senate would wish to propose
a number of changes to the document recommended by the
Chancellor.
Chancellor Humphrey suggested that in view of the proposal
by UNR for changes, action on the proposal be deferred
until the May meeting to allow the UNR Faculty Senate to
forward its recommendations.
Miss Mason moved that the matter be postponed until May.
Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong, carried without dissent.
40. Chancellor's Report
Dr. Humphrey referred back to the presentation of the previ-
ous day of the report reflecting statistical data on Uni-
versity personnel. He noted that this report was prepared,
based on the best information now available within the
University System, and was presented in the form provided
in draft form by HEW. He commented that representations
were made the previous day that the University was in vio-
lation of affirmative action guidelines; however, he stated
that to the best of his knowledge and that of the other
officers, the University is making every effort to do the
correct thing and to comply with all regulations. He noted
that the statements made the previous day were general in
nature and noted that if there were specific charges made,
the University Administration would wish to have those
charges so that they could be dealt with.
President Baepler stated that he would bring back a report
to the Board at the next meeting concerning the statements
made by the UNLV Women's Caucus.
Mr. Hug pointed out that the frequent references to a
"quota" were misleading, stating that the Federal regula-
tions do not require that there be a quota of certain
categories hired; rather, it is required that hiring
practices be followed which insure that there is oppor-
tunity provided for the employment of women and minorities.
41. New Business
(1) Mr. John Buchanan requested a study be done as to
whether SAT can be used as an option to the admission
procedure which utilizes ACT.
(2) Miss Mason requested that a discussion be scheduled
at a subsequent meeting concerning the parking prob-
lems at UNLV.
(3) Miss Mason also requested a report of out-of-state
travel by faculty, the kind of travel authorized,
for whom, total cost to the University, and identifi-
cation of funds from which such travel is paid.
The regular action agenda was completed and the information
agenda submitted. The information agenda contained the follow-
ing items and is on file in the Chancellor's Office:
1. Report of Foreign Travel
2. Report of Disciplinary Cases
3. Report of Fund Transfers
4. Report of Purchases in Excess of $8000
5. Progress of University Projects
6. Board of Regents Special Projects Account
The meeting adjourned at 11:10 A.M.
