4. Report of Investment Advisory Committee Meeting of April 9,
1965
In the absence of Dr. Lombardi, President Armstrong present-
ed the minutes of the Investment Advisory Committee meeting
of April 9, as follows:
The Committee met at 12:00 noon in the Hardy Room, Jot
Travis Student Union. Present were: Public member, Mr.
Julius Bergen; Board members, Dr. Fred M. Anderson, Dr.
Louis Lombardi and Mrs. Molly Magee; staff present,
President Charles J. Armstrong and Neil D. Humphrey,
Vice President-Finance. Representing the First National
Bank of Nevada was Mr. R. O. Kwapil, Vice President and
Sr. Trust Officer.
Dr. Lombardi, Chairman, presided.
A review of the portfolio had been mailed by the Trust
Department April 5 to all members. It was noted the
portfolio review did not include the projected income
of U. S. Treasury Bills and, therefore, gave an in-
complete picture of current earnings.
The reasons for sale of stocks during the past few
months were discussed. Mr. Kwapil recommended that no
change be made in the portfolio at this time. It was
agreed to follow this advice.
Mr. Kwapil said that he would distribute a review of the
stocks sold during the past few months to show what the
portfolio position would be if these stocks had not been
sold. It was agreed that this would be of interest.
The Committee agreed to meet every three months. The
next meeting was set for noon, Friday, July 9, 1965,
in the Hardy Room.
Upon inquiry of Mr. Kwapil it was agreed that in emer-
gencies between meetings the Committee could be polled.
It was noted that to conform to the new By-Laws of the
Board of Regents a vote of at least two Board members
on the Committee is required for offical action of the
Committee.
Meeting adjourned at 1:15 P.M.
Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
unanimously that the report of the Investment Advisory
Committee be accepted.
5. Report of the Plant and Property Committee Meeting of May 7,
1965
Mr. Jacobsen presented the minutes of the meeting as fol-
lows:
The Plant and Property Committee met in Room 105, Frazier
Hall, Nevada Southern Campus, on Friday, May 7, 1965. Pres-
ent: Regents Anderson, Grant, Hug, Jacobsen, Magee; Presi-
dent Armstrong, Dr. Donald Moyer, Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Rogers
and Mr. Hancock. Mr. James Mc Daniel and Mr. Frank Young
were present for portion of the meeting. Regent Rozone
entered the meeting at 10:30 A.M.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jacobsen at
9:15 A.M.
1. Exterior Design and Treatment of Library Building
Addition, Nevada Southern University Campus
Mr. Rogers introduced to the Committee, Mr. James Mc
Daniel, the architect who has been selected to ac-
complish the design for the two additonal floors of
the Nevada Southern Campus Library. Mr. Mc Daniel
presented a drawing of the exterior treatment of the
Library, pointing out that the plans are incomplete.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissenting vote that further discussion or
action be delayed until the exterior plans are more
fully developed.
2. President Armstrong introduced Mr. Frank Young of
Edgerton, Germeshausen and Grier. Mr. Young informed
the Committee of a report recently received outlining
AEC's billion dollar blueprint for expansion of the
nation's high-energy physics research between now and
the early 1980's, recently issued by the Joint Com-
mittee on Atomic Energy. Major recommendations of the
AEC report: Immediate authorization of a 200-Bev al-
ternating gradient synchorotron (AGS), authorization
in FY-71 of a 600-1,000 Bev proton accelerator, and
conversion to higher energies of present machines at
Brookhaven and Argonne. Mr. Young advised the Com-
mittee that the site selection for the accelerator
would be made during this calendar year. The material
presented to the Committee included the following cri-
teria for a desirable site: (1) Contain at least
3000 acres owned by or reasonably available to the
U. S. Government; (2) Have the potential of deliver-
ing a firm electric power load of several hundred mega-
watts and a minimum of 2000 gallons a minute of high
quality water; (3) Be reasonably close to a commercial
and industrial center which includes research and de-
velopment activities; and (4) Be reasonably close to
communities having adequate housing, cultural and edu-
cational facilities for some 2000 scientific and tech-
nical personnel and their families. Also, the site
should be close to adequate surface transportation
systems and a major airport with frequent service to
major U. S. cities. Mr. Young pointed out the interest
that Southern Nevada Industrial Foundation has express-
ed in this project and the possibility of attracting
such a project to the Eldorado Valley area. After
much discussion by the Committee, it was suggested by
President Armstrong that the potential growth of both
Campuses of the University of Nevada warranted the
justification of some positive support by the Board
of Regents in a cooperative effort to attract this
project to Southern Nevada.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board that the President be authorized to draft a
statement outlining the interest of the University of
Nevada in this project, to be made available to Mr.
Young for use by the Southern Nevada Industrial Founda-
tion.
3. Physical Sciences Project Design, Reno Campus
The Planning Board has informed the University Engi-
neer's Office that approxiamtely $145,000 remains in
the design fund. The Planning Board would like a
decision as to whether or not the Physical Science
Project is to remain at the top of the University's
priority list for consideration by the 1967 Legisla-
ture. If so, the Planning Board will hold these funds
to accomplish the design of the project if funded by
the 1967 Legislature; if it is not to be retained as a
high priority item, the funds will be reverted.
Mr. Rogers recommended to the Committee that the Plan-
ning Board be requested to use the fund to proceed
immediately with the design of the Physical Sciences
Project. Mr. Humphrey suggested that the Board of
Regents request a special meeting with the Planning
Board, or its Executive Committee, to urge them to
proceed to design the Physical Sciences Project so
that construction can start when funded in 1967.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board that the Planning Board be assured that the
Physical Sciences Project remains at the top of the
priority list and that the Board seek a meeting with
the entire Planning Board to urge the use of the re-
maining design funds for the accomplishment of the
design of the Physical Sciences Project prior to the
1967 Legislative Session. It was further recommended
that the individual members of the Planning Board be
contacted prior to their scheduled meeting in Septem-
ber and informed of the intent of the Board of Regents.
4. Sprinkler System, Social Science Project, Nevada South-
ern University Campus
A sprinkler system is required to irrigate the land-
scaping at this project but is not included in funds
available for the project.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board that the Planning Board be requested to fund
the cost in the amount of $9797 from the Site Develop-
ment and Utilities Appropriation.
5. Water Rights, Land Purchased from Capurro Family
The deeds conveying the Capurro property to the Uni-
versity made no mention of water rights. Failure to
reserve these water rights in the deed document auto-
matically transfers these rights to the buyer. Mr.
Capurro has requested that the Board of Regents con-
sider returning these rights to him.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that Mr. Capurro's request not be
granted.
6. Anelli Property Purchase
The 1965 Legislature authorized the sale of General
Obligation Bonds after July 1, 1965 in the amount of
$135,000 to purchase approximately 22.5 acres of
property lying immediately north of the present Reno
Campus. The Planning Board Manager reported that the
Anelli family has signed a commitment to sell to the
University approximately 22.5 acres at $6000 per acre
when the estate is settled and they gain title to the
property.
7. Mr. Rogers reported to the Committee concerning a meet-
ing with the Regional Planning Commission on general
development plans for areas immediatley surrounding the
Reno Campus. He advised the Committee that further
action has been delayed until the Board of Regents have
had an opportunity to study the proposed Master Plan.
He recommended that the Plant and Property Committee
make an early effort to meet with the Regional Planning
Commission to better evaluate its position in relation
to the proposed re-zoning of certain areas.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the Plant and Property Commit-
tee be authorized to communicate with the Regional
Planning Commission for the purpose of evaluating the
possible effect of proposed re-zoning of land adjacent
to and near the Reno Campus.
8. Mr. Rogers reported to the Committee the recent devel-
opments concerning the extension of Oddie Blvd. The
Regional Planning Commission and the County Commis-
sioners are asking support of the Board of Regents in
urging the State Highway Department to proceed with
the extension of Oddie Blvd.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried with-
out dissenting vote that a letter from the Regents be
sent to the State Highway Department urging them to
proceed with the extension of Oddie Blvd, and that a
copy of the letter be furnished to the County Commis-
sioners.
9. Mr. Rogers presented a request he had received from
Sierra Pacific Power Company for an easement to enable
them to move a power line, which now follows the road
to the Atmospherium-Planetarium, to an area above the
Dairy Barns. Mr. Rogers was instructed by the Commit-
tee to seek an agreement with the Power Company that
would place the power line underground. Mr. Hancock
pointed out that a precedent exists in the Capitol
Complex whereby all utilities are now placed under-
ground by the Power Company.
10. Mr. Humphrey presented a map showing the land acquisi-
tion plan for Nevada Southern and discussed a meeting
which he and Mr. Hancock, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Hug had
attended with the University Land Company for the pur-
pose of discussing the possibilities of effecting a
trade of certain parcels of land. Mr. Humphrey rec-
ommended that an appraisal of these parcels of land
be updated and the University Administration talk
privately with Legislators to determine if the Uni-
versity would be placing itself in a difficult posi-
tion by seeking to go below the line prescribed by
the Legislature for acquiring property. He recommend-
ed the results of these actions be presented to the
Committee at their next meeting.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissenting vote, that (1) The Committee rec-
ommend to the Board that updating of appraisals of
land be obtained and (2) The Administration negotiate
for the best deal possible to make a trade of the land
on Flamingo for certain parcels south of the Campus
boundary.
11. School of Nursing Building, Reno Campus
Mr. Rogers presented a map of the Reno Campus showing
the recommended location for the proposed School of
Nursing building.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the site as proposed by the
Administration be recommended to the Board of Regents
for the location of the School of Nursing building.
Mr. Humphrey reported to the Committee on a conver-
sation with the Public Health Service concerning the
grant for the Nursing building. He explained that he
had asked for a 90-day extension of the deadline estab-
lished for the granting of a construction contract but
had received word that no more than a 30-day extension
could be granted. Because of the urgency, it was
agreed by consensus that the selected design architect
be informed of the time limit and if he could not com-
ply, then another architect should be selected. Mr.
Hancock agreed to immediately inform the architect
of the Committee's decision and report back later in
the afternoon. (See item 11a below.)
12. Nevada Southern University Campus Landscaping
The Planning Board has been furnished a scope of work
to guide a landscape architect in the development of
a Master Plan for the landscaping of Nevada Southern
Campus. Mr. Hancock recommended to the Committee
three potential consultants to accomplish the work.
It was agreed by consensus that a final decision on
the recommendation to the Board of a consultant be
deferred until Mr. Hancock and Mr. Rogers had kept a
planned appointment with one of the recommended land-
scape architects. (See item 12a below.)
The meeting adjourned at 10:55 A.M. and the Committee de-
parted for a tour of the Logandale Experiment Station.
The Plant and Property Committee meeting reconvened at
4:30 P.M.
11a. Mr. Hancock spoke of his contact with the architect,
Mr. Parsons, for the School of Nursing building and
reported that the architect expressed confidence that
he could accomplish the design of the project in time
to meet the deadline. Mr. Parsons stated, however,
that to do so he must have the complete cooperation of
the University, the State Planning Board and the School
of Nursing facility.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board that Mr. Parsons be requested to proceed
with the design of the Nursing building in order to
comply with the deadline of August 25, and that the
School of Nursing faculty be informed of the importance
of being available for consulting at Mr. Parson's con-
venience.
Mr. Hancock explained to the Committee that there was
no money available to the Planning Board with which to
initiate a design contract with the architect before
July 1, 1965 and asked if the University would be wil-
ling to guarantee the money so that a contract could be
drawn immediately. It was agreed by consensus that
this action was appropriate and satisfactory.
12.a Mr. Hancock reported on his contact with the landscape
architect and recommended to the Committee that Mr.
Robert C. Smutzer be retained to prepare the Master
Plan for the landscaping of Nevada Southern Univer-
sity.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board that Mr. Smutzer be retained to prepare the
Master Plan for landscaping of Nevada Southern Univer-
sity Campus.
13. Mr. Jacobsen read to the Committee the following
letter:
May 4, 1965
Mr. Harold Jacobsen
205 N. Carson
Carson City, Nevada
Dear Mr. Jacobsen:
As a member of the Board of Regents of the University
of Nevada, I would like to call your attention to the
fact that up to the present time the University of
Nevada has failed to comply with its agreement with me
at the time the 60 acres of land was conveyed to the
University of Nevada by us for Nevada Southern Univer-
sity. The Board of Regents and President Stout agreed
that one of the first buildings on Nevada Southern
Campus would be named after my mother, Anita Julia
Cornish, and that a later building would be named
either for Mr. Wilbourn or myself.
I have discussed this with Mr. Grant, the former Chair-
man, and he assured me this would be properly taken
care of but as you know up to the present time there
are only two buildings named - "Maude Frazier Hall" and
"Archie C. Grant Hall".
My main interest is that a building be named after my
mother as was originally agreed upon and I would ap-
preciate any effort you may wish to make to see that
this is done in the near future. As you will recall,
the 60 acre gift to the University was given in memor-
iam for her.
I understand there are several new buildings nearing
completion which are at present unnamed.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Estelle M. Wilbourn
The Committee instructed the Secretary to the Board to
research the minutes of the Regents' meetings to deter-
mine the action of the Board at the time of the land
transaction and report back to the Board at its next
meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 4:45 P.M.
Action by the Board:
Item #1 No action required.
Item #2 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis,
carried unanimously that the action of the Com-
mittee become the action of the Board.
Item #3 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White,
carried unanimously that the action of the Com-
mittee become the action of the Board.
Item #4 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White,
carried unanimously that the action of the Com-
mittee become the action of the Board.
Item #5 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Grant,
carried unanimously that the action of the Com-
mittee become the action of the Board.
Item #6 Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen,
carried unanimously that since no action was
required the Board accept the report of the
Committee.
Item #7 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone,
carried unanimously that the action of the Com-
mittee become the action of the Board.
Item #8 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug,
carried unanimously that the action of the Com-
mittee become the action of the Board.
Item #9 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis,
carried unanimously that the Board endorse the
action of the Committee with the understanding
that, if the Sierra Pacific Power Company will
not place the power line underground, further
study of the location should be made before an
easement is granted. It was also the consensus
of the Board that a University policy should be
formulated governing future installation of
utilities on both Campuses.
Item #10 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, car-
ried unanimously that the action of the Committee
become the action of the Board.
Item #11 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Grant,
carried unanimously that the location of the
School of Nursing building as recommended by the
Administration (east of Mackay Science building)
be approved.
Item #lla Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone,
carried unanimously that the architect be re-
quested to proceed with the design of the School
of Nursing building in order to comply with the
deadline of August 25 and that the School of
Nursing faculty be informed of the importance of
being available for consulting.
Items #12 and #12a
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis,
carried unanimously that the action of the Com-
mittee become the action of the Board.
Item #13 Chairman Anderson recommended that a letter ac-
knowledging receipt of Mrs. Wilbourn's letter be
sent by the Administration and further recommend-
ed the Board delay further discussion of the mat-
ter until the Secretary submits a report on earli-
er action of the Board concerning land transac-
tion.
President Armstrong informed the Board that, in all proba-
bility, bids on the Nevada Southern Dormitory and Dining
Facility would be reviewed and ready for award late in June
but the Board will not meet until late July. He therefore
recommended that the Board of Regents authorize the Plant
and Property Committee to award a contract on behalf of the
Board of Regents for the construction of a Dormitory and
Dining Hall at NSU.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the President's recommendation be approved
and the Plant and Property Committee be so authorized.
6. Report of the Educational Policies Committee Meeting of
May 7, 1965
Dr. White presented the minutes of the Committee meeting
as follows:
A meeting of the Educational Policies Committee was held on
May 7, 1965 in Room 105, Frazier Hall, on the Nevada South-
ern Campus. Present: Regents Anderson, Hug, Jacobsen,
Magee, Ronzone and White; President Armstrong, Dr. Moyer,
Mr. Humphrey. Also present were Dr. Orleans, Dr. Adams,
Mr. Norton and Miss Parks of the Nevada Southern staff and
faculty.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman White at 2:30
P.M.
1. Class A Action Concerning Special Students
Action on this item had been deferred until this meeting
so that members of the Nevada Southern faculty might
have an opportunity to present their viewpoints to the
Committee. The following report had been distributed
to the Committee for their information:
Minority Report Concerning Proposed Suspension
of Special Students
At its March meeting, the Nevada Southern faculty in-
structed the Chairman of the Academic Standards Commit-
tee to file with the Board of Regents a minority re-
port expressing the opposition of this faculty to the
proposed change in University regulations which would
result in the suspension of special students. This
proposed regulation has had the consistent and unified
opposition of the Nevada Southern Division Council,
Committee, University Council Representatives, and
faculty. We request your consideration of the follow-
ing points:
1. The proposed change in regulations was originally
suggested by a member of the Reno faculty, with
reference to a problem on the Reno Campus, to have
certain effects on that Campus.
2. No such motivating problem exists on the Las Vegas
Campus. We are agreed that the present system is
functioning successfully.
3. We do, however, foresee the possibility of serious
public relations problems in Las Vegas, affecting,
not the few students who would be suspended under
the new regulations, but those numerous special
students in good standing whose attendance at Nevada
Southern would be made more difficult and complicat-
ed as a result of the new University attitude and
new regulations. We urge your investigation of such
problems, which, in our opinion, could not be pre-
vented by merely informing the public of the change
in University regulations and attitude.
4. We would like to point out significant differences
between the Las Vegas Campus and the Reno Campus:
The Reno Campus stands in a different relation to
its community than does the Las Vegas Campus. (The
proposed regulations were not suggested for Reno
10 years ago.) It is our opinion that the Nevada
Southern special students probably represent a dif-
ferent segment of our community than do those at
Reno and stand in a different relationship to the
Campus. (Las Vegas, having practically no alumni,
recognizes the special students as a concerned and
interested link with the community.) The proposed
regulations would, on the Las Vegas Campus, prob-
ably have effects which they would not have on the
Reno Campus; i. e., the regulations would affect a
different group of students, in a different way,
with different repercussions.
5. We do not feel that procedural considerations should
in any way determine policy, but our Office of Ad-
missions and our Registrar's Office have expressed
concern over the great waste involved in instituting
expensive regulations which would have no foresee-
able advantageous effects on this Campus -- only
disadvantageous effects.
6. It is the opinion of the Nevada Southern faculty
that the proposed change in regulations and phi-
losophy is not needed on this Campus: it would
have a disadvantageous effect, not originally
anticipated, on an important segment of our com-
munity; it would affect a group of students dif-
ferent from those originally intended; it would
create problems where none now exist; it would
not be worth the expenditure of time, money and
effort it would require; and it would result in
a philosophic attitude toward townspersons which
is not acceptable to the members of this faculty.
/s/ Charles L. Adams
Chairman
Academic Standards Committee for the
Nevada Southern Faculty
In the discussion which followed, Dr. Orleans spoke of
the problems faced by Nevada Southern concerning special
students as they differ from those problems encountered
on the Reno Campus. In addition to the "public rela-
tions" factor, the faculty and staff are concerned with
the additional burden of record keeping imposed by the
adoption of the new regulations. Miss Parks pointed out
that all potential students would have to be informed of
the regulation and records would have to be kept on each
special student at the University to determine who the
small percentage were who would be affected by the sus-
pension rule. Mr. Norton pointed out, also, that con-
trols are already available to the individual faculty
member who is now responsible for deciding who will or
will not be admitted to special student classification.
Mrs. Magee expressed some concern over the projected
growth of the enrollment at both NSU and Reno and its
ultimate effect on special students, questioning whether
delay in implementing these regulations would perhaps
make the problem more severe when the enrollment in-
creases.
President Armstrong pointed out that the Administra-
tion's and the Regents' chief concern is that the same
regulation should be applied to all students. He also
pointed out that policy should not be determined by
mechanics.
It was suggested by Mrs. Magee that perhaps the Regents
would benefit by asking Dr. Moyer for a recommendation
of the matter after he has had an opportunity to study
the special student situation. It was agreed by con-
sensus that final action on this proposal be delayed
pending a report and recommendation from Dr. Moyer,
hopefully at the meeting in July.
Because of lack of time, the remaining items on the agenda
were postponed until the next meeting of the Committee in
June.
The meeting adjourned at 3:25 P.M.
There was no action by the Board. However, in the discus-
sion concerning the report of the Committee, the members
agreed that should such a ruling be imposed, the intent
would be to make the transition to the new regulation grad-
ually, perhaps not become effective before the Fall of 1966,
and in no case would the penalty be imposed retroactively.

WHEREAS, Resolution No. 65-2 authorized the issuance
and sale of $2,000,000 par University of Nevada, Nevada
Southern Science Building Revenue Certificate, Series
April 1, 1965, 3% bonds due serially; and

provided on the face of the bond, that registration
as to principal shall be made by the Treasurer of the
University at Reno, Nevada, as Registrar; and

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Regents
of the University of Nevada at a regular session in
full conformity with the laws, rules and regulations of
the Board that First National Bank of Nevada is hereby
appointed Agent to handle the registration in lieu of
and for the Treasurer of the University of Nevada.
/s/ Bonnie Smotony
Secretary, Board of Regents
Adopted by the Board of Regents
May 8, 1965
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the above resolution be adopted.
10. Transfers of Funds
President Armstrong reported the following transfers of
less than $2000 from the Contingency Reserve:
#202 $1200 to Buildings and Grounds, Repairs to provide
necessary funds for sun screens for south side of
Fine Arts building.
#211 $1500 to Library, Wages to provide additional funds
for part-time help in Circulation Department because
of a 56% increase in circulation of books in the
first 9 months of 1964-65.
#229 $1620 to Office of Vice President- Finance. The
expenditure impact of the increased activity of
various branches of this Office (Accounting, Buyer,
Non-Academic Personnel, NSU, Main Office) has been
underestimated and budgeted funds have proven in-
adequate.
#236 $1000 to Ceremonials, NSU for graduate expenses,
1964-65.
President Armstrong recommended approval of the following
transfers of $2000 or more from the Contingency Reserve:
#201 $2670.53 to Home Economics to provide balance of
salary for replacement of Dr. Marilyn Horn who is
on Sabbatical Leave.
#205 $10,000 to Agricultural Experiment Station to provide
fund to establish Central Nevada Field Laboratory.
#207 $6544.50 to Laboratories of Human Development, Tech-
nical Salaries, for months of April, May and June,
1965.
#209 $2500 to Cancer Research Laboratory to provide funds
to pay the half-time salary for Secretary in this
account.
#210 $5300 to Postage, Reno. This account was budgeted
for $17,600 or an average of $1467 per month. The
actual expenditure has been in excess of $1900 per
month. This transfer should enable us to finish the
fiscal year at the current rate of expenditure.
#218 $2014 to Supervised Teaching. The budgeted amount
was not sufficient for the number of student teach-
ers processed in academic year 1964-65.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the above fund transfers
be approved.
President Armstrong recommended approval of the following
transfers between In-State and Out-of-State travel funds:
#203 $30 from Executive Vice President, Out-of-State
Travel to Admissions and Registrar, Out-of-State
Travel to provide sufficient funds for the Director
of Admissions and Registrar to attend meeting in
Chicago in April, 1965.
#208 $85 from Executive Vice President, In-State Travel
to Office of Student Affairs, In-State Travel to
provide travel expenses for Dean of Student Affairs
to give Commencement address at the Lund High School
in May.
#214 $300 from Office of the President, Out-of-State
Travel to Special Out-of-State Travel to cover
deficit in account.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the above fund trans-
fers be approved.
11. Approval of Check Registers
President Armstrong recommended the Check Registers, as
submitted by Mr. Humphrey, be approved.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the Check Registers
be approved.
12. Travel Requests Against Agnes B. Momand Music Memorial
President Armstrong presented the following letter from Mr.
Humphrey requesting a decision by the Board:
I have signed these requests as there are funds available.
I wish to make certain that you remember the terms of the
bequest, which are that income shall 'be applied to musical
education of meritorious and indigent students'. This could
be interpreted to mean only scholarships and loans but it
could be given a broader interpretation such as faculty and
student travel. I am not aware of a Board of Regents de-
cision and such would be desirable.
During the last three years the following charges have been
made against the account in addition to scholarships:
Date Check No. Amount
01-05-62 4064 $44.38 University Mileage
06-26-62 9954 21.67 University Mileage
05-17-63 20432 32.69 University Mileage
11-18-63 27318 75.00 Warren Baker - Oboe Soloist
11-18-63 27319 39.83 University Mileage
12-04-63 27863 25.00 8 High School Students to
Klamath Falls Messiah
12-04-63 27864 46.00 Dale Hallack - Accompany
Students to Klamath Falls
12-23-63 28142 30.00 Honorarium - Messiah Soloist
12-23-63 28143 46.20 Room for Messiah Participants
12-23-63 28146 19.50 Board of Messiah Participants
04-03-64 31293 84.00 Students to Music Conference
in San Mateo
04-13-64 32330 41.16 University Mileage - San Mateo
Mr. Humphrey amended his recommendation by requesting the
Board approval be contingent upon approval by the Attorney
General concerning the appropriateness of this type of
charge against this fund.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried unani-
mously by roll call vote that the specific charges against
this account, as itemized in the above letter, be approved.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that further review of the terms of the bequest be
requested of the Attorney General, with specific attention
as to whether travel may be properly charged against this
account.
13. Establishment of New Bank Accounts
President Armstrong presented the following request from
Mr. Humphrey with his recommendation that it be approved
according to the terms set forth within the letter:
"The two new Reno banks, Pioneer Citizens Bank of Nevada and
Valley Bank of Nevada, do not have University of Nevada ac-
counts at this time. We have received a request from the
Pioneer Citizens Bank of Nevada that an account be estab-
lished. This matter has also been discussed with the Valley
Bank of Nevada.
"Although it is not advisable in my opinion to move major
established accounts at this time, it would be feasible to
move the present National Defense Student Loan account
presently at the Greenbrae, Branch, First National Bank of
Nevada. I recommend that this account be moved to Pioneer
Citizens Bank of Nevada effective July 1, 1965.
"Changes planned in the accounting system effective July 1,
1965 made desirable the creation of a small revolving fund
for emergency checks. The more automated we become the more
efficient it is to handle the payments which flow through
regular channels; however, it also becomes more difficult
to write a check which is needed sooner than 48 hours. In
order to provide for the emergency checks I recommend that
a Petty Cash Fund of $3000 be established by transfer from
the Board of Regents Special Projects Fund (1-51-4056)
July 1, 1965. I recommend that this account be established
at the Valley Bank of Nevada on June 25, 1965.
"Board of Regents action is required to make the transfer
and establish the bank accounts. My recommendation in-
cludes, of course, the provision that these banks enter
into Collateral Agreements similar to the existing agree-
ments with First National Bank of Nevada, Nevada Bank of
Commerce, Security National Bank and Bank of Nevada."
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
unanimously that the above recommendation be approved.
14. The next regular meetings of the Board will be June 11, 1965
and July 24, 1965, both on the Reno Campus.
15. Upon motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, and
unanimous vote, the meeting adjourned at 11:35 A.M.
