BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETING MAY 31, 1963
Present: Regents Anderson, Germain, Grant, Hug, Jacobsen,
Lombardi, Magee; President Armstrong, Vice Presi-
dent Young, Business Manager Humphrey, University
Engineer Rogers.
Women's Dormitory, Reno:
President Armstrong read a report from Mr. Rogers concerning
the State Planning Board's discussion of the problem of as-
sessing liquidated damages against Mr. Brunzell, constractor
for Juniper Hall, the new Women's Dormitory on the Reno
Campus. Mr. Rogers wanted to be certain that this matter
be settled in a manner satisfactory to H. H. F. A., so that
the University would suffer no loss of funds.
Mr. Germain moved, Mr. Jacobsen seconded, that the Board of
Regents go on record as urging the State Planning Board to
pursue the enforcement of the liquidated damages clause in
the contract for the construction of Juniper Hall. Motion
passed.
Selection of Architects:
Mr. Rogers provided the Committee with the names of archi-
tectural firms selected by the State Planning Board for
consideration for upcoming University projects, as follows:
Physical Education, Phase 1 (Stadium) - Reno
a) Vhay, Ferrari and Windmer and Jack Means (CE)
b) John Webster Brown (CE) - with Ralph Berger or
Selden and Stewart
c) Ferris, Erskine and Calef and Sprout Engineers
d) Lockard and Casazza and Malone
Social Science Building - Las Vegas
a) Moffitt and Hendricks
b) Julius Gabriele
c) Jack Knighton
d) James Mc Daniels
e) Zick and Sharp
In conformance with procedure followed in the past, the
State Planning Board has asked that the Regents recommend
their choice of architect for each project.
Dr. Lombardi moved, Mr. Jacobsen seconded, that James
Mc Daniels be recommended as the architect for the Social
Science building in Las Vegas. Motion passed.
Mr. Jacobsen moved, Mr. Hug seconded, that John Webster
Brown (CE) be recommended as the Engineer for the Physical
Education Facility, Phase 1 only, with the understanding
that, after further study as to the architectural needs of
the project, he would recommend for Regents' approval, one
or more firms to serve as consulting architect. Motion
passed (Mr. Germain abstaining).
Procedure on Selection of Architects:
The Committee discussed the action of the Public Health
Service in selecting an architect, without consultation
with the Regents, for the development of preliminary plans
for additional buildings to serve the Radiological Labora-
tory on the Nevada Southern Campus. It was agreed that the
Regents should have been consulted before this step was
taken. No further action was taken.
Non-State Projects:
President Armstrong read a report from Mr. Rogers recommend-
ing that the University itself administer the construction
of upcoming projects which do not involve State funds, but
rather are financed through revenue bonds, specifically the
Dormitory-Dining Hall and the additional Radiological Labor-
atory buildings at Las Vegas. This would mean that the
State Planning Board would not be involved in these proj-
ects.
Mr. Germain moved, Dr. Lombardi seconded, that the Univer-
sity plan to administer the above projects itself. Motion
passed.
Land Acquisition - Las Vegas:
Mr. Rogers reported that William Hancock of the State Plan-
ning Board has arranged to have an appraisal of all land
that would be affected by an exchange of property as planned
for the Nevada Southern Campus. Mr. Hancock also has in-
formed Mr. Rogers that the $200,000 appropriated for land
purchase can be used only in the area designated by the
Legislature and only after all efforts have been exhausted
to trade or exchange land. The Committee discussed the
course of action most suitable to the University. However,
no action was taken.
Land Acquisition - Reno:
President Armstrong read the following report from Mr.
Humphrey regarding the purchase of the Roman Catholic Church
property. No action was required by the Committee.
SUBJECT: Amendment of escrow instructions for the
purchase of the Roman Catholic cemetery,
school and playground
Just before delivery of the signed escrow instructions to
the Nevada Title Guaranty Co., I became aware of the fact
that, under the escrow instructions, the Church could direct
the Title Company to invest the $211,095 paid by the State
for the school and playground and could receive the invest-
ment earnings. Since it was possible that the University
would receive neither use nor rent for this property for
four years and seven months (that is until December 31,
1967), I concluded that this was not in the best interests
of the University. I consulted with Mr. F. Pat Finnegan,
Deputy Attorney General, and we agreed that the escrow in-
structions should not be delivered. The signature portion
of the original instructions was removed. I did, however,
deliver the State warrant for $211,095 into escrow in order
to comply with the sales agreement.
Subsequently, I negotiated further with Father Connolly and
the Church's Attorney, Morgan Anglim, and reached the agree-
ment outlined in the escrow instructions dated May 31, 1963,
which I now recommend that you sign. The changes from the
original instructions are:
a. Possession of the school and playground will pass to the
University on January 1, 1965 (three years earlier than
original agreement).
b. The University must rent the school and playground back
to the Church from January 1, 1965 until December 31,
1967, if the Church so requests. Rent will be $12,666
per year. Thus, if the Church does retain use of the
school until December 31, 1967, the University will re-
ceive $37,998 rent which it would not have received
under the previous agreement.
c. The $211,095 is held in escrow "for the benefit of and
subject to the instructions of the seller" as provided
in the first set of escrow instructions. Thus, for 19
months while the $211,095 is in escrow the interest will
accrue to the seller. Since we have been assured by the
Attorney General's Office that there is no legal way for
the State or the University to receive this interest, we
give up nothing in order to let the Church earn the in-
terest. We gain by the three year earlier possession
of the school.
Mr. Finnegan has tentatively approved this agreement by
telephone and will have an opportunity June 1, 1963 to
complete his review before signing.
/s/ Neil D. Humphrey
Physical Science Building and Social Science Building -
Reno:
Mr. Rogers recommended that the Regents request that the
architects be authorized by the State Planning Board to
develop complete plans for the Physical Science building
and the Social Science building. Money is available for
the development of these plans. Matching money might be
obtained from the National Science Foundation or the
National Institute of Health to make it possible to bid
materially in construction of these facilities.
Mr. Jacobsen moved, Mr. Germain seconded, that the State
Planning Board be asked to authorize the architects to
develop complete plans for the Physical Science building
and the Social Science building. Motion passed. The
Chairman of the Committee and the University Engineer are
to follow through on this by contacting the State Planning
Board.
4-H Camp:
President Armstrong read a report from Dr. Young regarding
the development of the 4-H Camp, as follows:
SUBJECT: 4-H Camp Development
On May 9, 1963, I wrote Attorney General Harvey Dickerson
on behalf of the Ad Hoc Committee on the 4-H Camp to inquire
as to the legal status of the Camp.
Mr. Dickerson assigned this matter to Deputy Attorney Gen-
eral Francis P. Finnegan; and on May 15, 1963, he met with
the Committee to discuss this question. He then wrote a
letter of advice on May 21, 1963, which stated:
"The 4-H property is not governed by the provisions of
NRS 396.430 which enable the Regents to deal with the
University properties without prior legisative author-
ization. It is, therefore, our opinion that the Univer-
sity may not treat this property as University property
for the purposes of long-range development. The intent
of the Legislature is clear that title shall remain in
the State and that the University's function is purely
one of manager and supervisor of the property. In line
with the conference which I attended, I suggest that if
the University chooses to proceed with a long-range de-
velopment program that legislation be sought in the next
session which would place the 4-H property in the same
catagory as other properties administered by Regents.
"As to the change in title of the individual University
staff member who is charged with the management of the
Camp, it is our opinion that the function is more deter-
minative than the title where the duties of the individ-
ual are absorbed into another position; the duty of
management of the 4-H property follows the function.
"I have not yet resolved the water and sewer difficul-
ties which currently exist at the 4-H Camp, but I am
proceeding on the matter and will be in touch with you
when I can report some substantial progress."
On May 27, 1963, the Committee met with the 4-H Advisory
Council to inform that group as to the Committee's thinking
concerning the legal status of the Camp and the implications
for the future development of the Camp.
As a result of this preliminary work, the Committee has
agreed on the following points:
a. The development of the 4-H Camp has been and will con-
tinue to be, stymied by the present wording of NRS 550.
Because of the wording of the legislation, according
to the Attorney General, "... the University may not
treat this property as University property for the pur-
pose of long-range development. The intent of the
Legislature is clear that title shall remain in the
State and that the University's function is purely one
of manager and supervisor of the property."
b. If the 4-H Camp is to be developed, this legal problem
must be resolved. Therefore, it is recommended that
at its next session the Legislature be requested to
determine whether or not it wishes the University to
proceed with the development of the Camp. If the
Legislature does wish to have the University develop
the Camp, then present law should be modified so that
title to the Camp is clearly placed in the hands of the
University. If the Legislature is opposed to this
course of action, then the University should ask to be
relieved of the responsibility for administering the
Camp.
c. In the meantime, and to assist the University and the
Legislature in determining this matter, the Committee
should proceed with the development of a Master Plan
for the Camp so that it will be quite clear as to the
University's intentions if the Camp is placed in its
hands.
d. The 4-H Advisory Council is agreed to this course of
action. It also was agreed that interested parties
throughout the State would have to be kept closely
informed as to the University's position and actions
and the reasons for them; this would be the responsibil-
ity of the Cooperative Extension Service.
Mr. Hug moved, Mr. Jacobsen seconded, a recommendation that
the University develop a Master Plan for this area and take
steps to attempt to get appropriate action in the next Leg-
islature so that the University can have authority for de-
velopment of this area. Motion passed.
Desert Research Institute Facility:
Mr. Hug asked if it would be possible to obtain matching
money from the National Science Foundation to apply toward
the construction of a building for the Desert Research
Institute. President Armstrong said that it was felt that
the University would fare better if it sought NSF money for
the Physical Science building rather than the DRI building.
/s/ Kenneth E. Young
Acting Secretary
Mr. Hancock discussed the item in the meeting of the Plan-
ning Board held on May 28, 1963 regarding the Women's Dorm-
itory, Reno Campus. He reported that a liquidated damage
claim had been prepared covered 44 days and amounting to
$4400. However, allowances were agreed upon, for what the
Planning Board considered valid reasons for delay, bringing
the actual claim to five days or $500. The Regents dis-
cussed the matter in some detail, especially as to whether
or not HHFA would be willing to accept the decision of the
Planning Board. Mr. Hancock pointed out that he is pre-
senting the matter as a recommendation to the Board of
Regents, for action by the Board.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the Administration determine how HHFA will
react to the recommendation of the Planning Board, and take
whatever action is deemed to be in proper order.
Dr. Anderson discussed the recommendation that John Webster
Brown be named consulting engineer for the Stadium project.
Much of the work will be engineering in nature, in which
this firm specializes. He pointed out that the recommenda-
tion was based on the understanding that proceeding with
this consultant for this phase of the project would not mean
that this consultant would necessarily design other phases.
Mr. Germain requested that someone from the Department of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation work along with
the University Engineer's Office on the design state proj-
ect, and President Armstrong pointed out that this has
already been done.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
with Mr. Germain abstaining, and all other Regents voting
"aye", that the firm of John Webster Brown be accepted as
consultant engineer for Phase I of the Physical Education
project (Stadium), on the understanding that the firm will
employ an architectural firm agreeable to the Board of
Regents.
Dr. Anderson discussed the recommendation that James Mc
Daniel be named architect for the Social Science building
in Las Vegas.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the recommendation be approved.
Mr. Rogers discussed the Radiological Laboratory project
in Las Vegas, and why he believed Moffitt and Hendricks had
gone ahead on the plans without Regents' approval. He ex-
plained that the Radiological people asked the firm to make
a study, which developed into preliminary plans. The study
was necessary for estimating costs, and preliminary plans
were a part of the study.
The matter of University or University-State Planning Board
control of coming revenue bond projects was discussed, es-
pecially, at present, the Radiological Laboratory and the
Dining-Dormitory facility. Mr. Hancock reported that the
same question had come up on a meeting of the Planning
Board, and it was decided to take the matter up with the
Regents' Building Committee before taking final action. Mr.
Hancock offered the services of the Executive Committee to
discuss matters pertaining to these projects, if it is de-
sired.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried with
Dr. Anderson and Mr. Hug voting "no" and all other Regents
voting "aye" that the University administer the above two
projects.
There being no objection, the Chairman authorized the Re-
gents' Building Committee to meet with the Planning Board to
discuss administration of other such projects.
In regard to land acquisition in the Las Vegas area, Mr.
Hancock discussed the intent of the Legislature that all
possible attempts be made to exchange property before making
purchase. The Trinity Church property exchange is being
held up due to the Planning Board's new appraisals. Report
was made, as per minutes of the Building Committee, on the
status of negotiations for the Catholic Church property.
Dr. Armstrong discussed the possibility of securing match-
ing money from the National Institutes of Health, the
National Science Foundation, or other such agencies, for
construction for graduate work facilities. After plans
are completed, the University would be in a position to seek
matching funds for that portion of the building to be used
for research. He referred especially to the Social Science
building and the Physical Sciences building, and recommended
that action be taken to proceed.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the State Planning Board be requested to
proceed with design of the two projects immediately and
that the Administration be authorized to seek grants, as
explained above.
Dr. Armstrong discussed the 4-H Camp property at Lake Tahoe,
as per minutes of the Regents' Building Committee.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the University develop a Master Plan for
the 4-H Camp and take steps at the next session of the
Legislature to obtain control and supervision of the Camp
property, or to be relieved of responsibility altogether.

12. Nevada Southern, Degree Granting Status
Dr. Armstrong discussed his proposal that Nevada Southern be
authorized to grant degrees. After a thorough self-evalua-
tion, visitation by representatives of the Reno Campus, and
then by experts in the specific areas in which degrees are
being proposed, Dean Carlson made his recommendation for
granting certain degrees. Academic areas proposed were
evaluated and selected in terms of present enrollment, fac-
ulty library resources and special facilities. He pointed
out that Dean Carlson had based his recommendations on the
actual working budget for the fiscal year 1963-64, and this
recommendation has been followed through. Dr. Armstrong
recommended authorization of baccalaureate degrees for
Nevada Southern in the following areas, beginning with the
end of the academic year 1963-64:
Bachelor of Arts (B. A.)
Bachelor of Science (B. S.)
Bachelor of Arts in Education (B. A. in Ed.)
Bachelor of Science in Education (B. S. in Ed.)
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B. S. in
Bus. Ad.)
The Baccalaureate Degree Curricula authorized for Nevada
Southern to be as follows:

Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the recommendation to grant degrees, as stated
above, be approved.
Mr. Germain called attention to the great amount of time
spent by the Evaluation Committee in doing the fine job
which it accomplished.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. White, carried unani-
mously that the Regents express deep appreciation for the
sincerity and thoroughness of the evaluation by the Evalu-
ation Committee of Nevada Southern's curriculum.
13. Class A Actions
Material explaining and supporting the recommendation of
President Armstrong for approval of the following four Class
A Actions had previously been mailed to the Regents.
I. Salary Payments for Deceased Faculty Members
In addition to any benefits which may be paid to the
estate of a deceased faculty member from insurance,
Public Employees Retirement, or any other source, the
University shall pay to the estate the following
benefits:
1 - Faculty members on 12-month appointment who are on
payroll at the time of death shall receive salary
through the day death occurred plus any earned but
unused annual leave, together with 1/12th of the
current annual contract salary.
2 - Faculty members on 10-month appointment who are on
payroll at the time of death shall receive salary
through the day death occurred plus 1/12 of the
current annual contract salary.
II. (B) Sabbatical Leave
1. Eligibility: Any faculty member who holds a pro-
fessoral or equivalent rank, and who has served
full time (on either a 10 or 12 months contract)
for six or more salaried years at the University
of Nevada is eligible for a sabbatical leave.
Time toward sabbatical leave is not cumulative
beyond six years. A faculty member whose service
at the University of Nevada has been discontinuous
(i. e., was previously discontinued by resignation
or release from the University) shall accumulate
leave time from the date marking the commencement
of his most recent term of service.
2. Options and Stipulations:
2.1 Qualified applicants for sabbatical leave
shall have two alternatives: a full year of
leave at 2/3 salary, or half year at full
salary.
2.2 The taking of sabbatical leave shall in no
way interfere with the continuing employment
of an individual by the University, with any
scheduled promotion or salary increase, with
his retirement program, or with any other
rights normally associated with his work at
the University.
2.3 It is presumed that the leave will benefit
the University or the professional advance-
ment of the individual.
3. Procedure:
3.1 Persons desiring sabbatical leave shall sub-
mit their applications to the President
through their Department Chairman and Dean,
in the Fall semester of the year prior to the
academic year in which they desire the leave.
Application forms are available in the Aca-
demic Personnel Office.
3.2 The President may appoint a Sabbatical Leave
Committee to assist in selecting those to be
granted sabbatical leave. In making its
recommendations, the Committee should con-
sider both the merit of the application and
the seniority of the applicant.
3.3 In case a member of the Sabbatical Leave
Committee shall desire sabbatical leave, his
application shall follow the procedure out-
lined in paragrah 3.1 and shall not be re-
ferred to the Committee.
4. Obligations Upon Taking Sabbatical Leave:
4.1 Upon completion of his sabbatical leave, the
faculty member must return to his University
duties for a period of time at least equal
to that of his last annual contract.
4.2 Additional outside income (e. g., grants-in-
aid or fellowships) may be accepted during
the leave provided such remuneration is
designated primarily to contribute to the
individual's future usefulness to the Univer-
sity or to his professional development.
4.3 Acknowledgement of sabbatical assistance
should be given in any publications result-
ing from work accomplished during the sab-
batical year.
4.4 A written report concerning sabbatical leave
activities is to be sent to the President
with a copy to the Academic Personnal Office.

Sabbatical Leave Selection Guide
In order to provide a year-to-year consistency in the se-
lection principles employed for sabbatic leaves, the Uni-
versity Council proposed that the following "Sabbatical
Leave Selection Guide" be appended to Faculty Bulletin No.
792, Part B, which sets forth the offical University policy
on sabbatical leave.
(Note: In the original Committee report approved by the
Council, this item was NOT designated as a Class A Action.
Stemming from a faculty request, however, this matter was
reconsidered at the April Council meeting and was reclassi-
fied as Class A in nature.)
Sabbatical Leave Selection Guide
Criteria for Selection Weight Factors
1. Merit of Application** 50%
2. Length of Service at U. of N. 25%
(Less 6 years for each previous sabbatical)
3. Meritorious Service of Applicant 15%
4. Recommendation of the Dean 5%
5. Recommendation of the Chairman 5%
----
100%
**In determining merit of the application, the Selection
Committee should weigh both (a) the probability that
applicant's aims can be achieved (which may involve exam-
ination of applicant's past achievements in his specialty;
and (b) the merit of the applicant's proposed sabbatical
project (for which the Committee may solicit a profes-
sional evaluation).
The following items are listed to assist the Committee in
assigning priority to types of proposed projects.
Types of projects in suggested order of decreasing
priority:
1. Projects which are primarily designed to lead to
major publications.
2. Projects which primarily involve advanced study
at other institutions.
3. Projects which primarily involve domestic or
foreign travel.
4. Projects which primarily involve research in resi-
dence at the University of Nevada.
5. Projects which center in a study or training pro-
gram in business, industry or government.
6. Application for sabbatical leave time to complete
graduate degree work.
7. Others at Committee's discretion.
Guides to Application of Criteria:
The following points are designed to assist the Committee in
its work and to insure a degree of year-to-year consistency
in sabbatical leave selections.
1. Applications are neither prejudiced nor fortified
by previous unsuccessful applications.
2. Acceptance of sabbatical leave should not interfere
with either promotion or salary increase.
3. The qualifying six years may be interrupted by leave
but not by resignation.
4. At its discretion the Ad Hoc Committee may have pro-
posals evaluated by persons of competence in the
area of that application.
5. The Administration will decide among multiple appli-
cations recommended from the same Department.
III. Term of Office of Council Members
To give the University Council a greater continuity of
membership, the term of office of each elected member
shall be of length 3 years, instead of 2, with (ap-
proximately) 1/3 of the Council membership instead of
1/2, being replaced each year.
Specifically, in Chapter 1, Section III, Paragraph
3.2, line 2, replace "two" by "three".
IV. Committee, Boards and Councils

dent.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously that the Class A Actions be approved.
14. Medical Survey
Dr. Anderson discussed the medical survey of the State and
the recent meeting held in Carson City at the request of the
Governor for the purpose of discussing the medical manpower
needs and supply. The survey group may propose an arrange-
ment among the four states concerned -- Nevada, Wyoming,
Idaho, Montana -- for a regional Medical School. If such
a proposal is made, Nevada could well be the logical state
for such School, because, of the four states, its population
centers in relation to its education institutions, is more
advantageous to medical education.
15. Estimative Budgets
Copies of the University of Nevada Estimative Budgets for
1963-64 had previously been mailed to members of the Board.
These covered those activities which have fluctuating rev-
enue sources and where the rate of expenditure is usually
tied closely to the current revenues, as follows: Summer
School Reno, Summer School Nevada Southern, Summer Coaching
Clinic, Lake Tahoe Music Camp, Summer Laboratory School,
Evening Division Reno, Off-Campus Division, Correspondence
Division, Special Institutes and Projects, Title VIII
Evening Division, Civil Defense Training Program, Inter-
collegiate Athletics Reno, University ROTC Rifle Team,
Dining Commons (including Snack Bar), University Village
(Married Student Apartments), White Pine Hall, Manzanita
Hall, Lincoln Hall, Artemisia Hall, Juniper Hall, Student
Health Service Reno. President Armstrong explained that
while authority was delegated to the President to handle
these budget accounts, since they are an important part of
the University operation, they are being submitted to make
certain revisions which will later be reported to the Board
of Regents.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. White, carred unani-
mously that the Estimative Budgets be approved.
16. Association of Governing Boards
Mrs. Magee reported briefly on the regional meeting held in
Dallas, Texas, which she attended. The Association will
hold its Spring 1964 meeting at the University of Nevada
upon invitation extended by Mrs. Magee. She called atten-
tion to the meeting to be held at Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity on October 16-18, 1963 and urged as many of the Regents
to attend as possible so that they might become acquainted
with the nature of the meetings, the organization itself,
and its members. Dates of the Reno meeting are May 10-12.
17. University Audit
Copies of a memoradum from Governor Sawyer to all State
agencies, together with copies of correspondence between
the Governor, the Legislative Committee and the Office of
the Attorney General were submitted for consideration of
the Regents. They covered certain practices on the part
of the Legislative Counsel which have been declared uncon-
stitutional by the Attorney General. Provisions of S.B. 24,
the Act referred to, are:
The Legislative Counsel is to appoint a Legislative
Analyst, who, in addition to other duties, is to be
an investigator of the executive branches of the gov-
ernment. As such investigator, he can:
1. Determine the accounting systems for all executive
Departments and make them accept it.
2. Demand an accounting of all receipts and expendi-
tures from all agencies of State government.
3. Examine all executive Departments and determine as
to the quality of the help therein employed.
4. Request all Officers and employees of the State
Departments to make available to him all books,
accounts, claims, reports, vouchers, or other
records of information, confidential or otherwise.
5. Deal with what he determines to be important issues
of public policy and questions of statewide inter-
est.
6. Upon his determination, report upon the inadequacy
of executive personnel to the Legislative Counsel
Bureau, which is empowered to hold hearings thereon,
with power to summon the heads of government, and
to request such executives to discharge or replace
personnel which it determines to be incompetent or
inefficient.
Governor Sawyer has requested State Agencies to refuse to
accede to any improper demands on the part of the Legisla-
tive Counsel and to report to him any such attempts. The
Legislative Counsel has asked whether or not the University
intends to follow the Governor's request, and also informs
the University that it intends to challenge the opinion of
the Attorney General in court.
President Armstrong recommended as follows:
I recommend to you, therefore, that it would be most
appropriate if the Board of Regents would authorize me
to inform the Legislative Commission and the Legislative
Counsel that we will cooprerate, as we always have in
the past, with their auditors if they wish to proceed
with the 1962-63 audit prior to the solution of this
matter in court. I take no exception to the Governor's
directive to agencies for which he is directly respon-
sible, but I believe the Board of Regents to be differ-
ently situated, both constitutionally and politically,
in their direct responsibility to the electorate. Hence
any action by the University to interfere with Legisla-
tive Oversight and post-audit would be inappropriate.
President Armstrong proposed, and the Regents agreed, that
it would be well to have the University accounts audited by
an outside auditing firm about every five years, and that
the Legislature should be requested to appropriate funds for
the purpose.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the recommendation of the President be
approved, and the Legislative Counsel be notified that the
University welcomes an audit by the Legislative Auditor.
18. Salary Payments, Demers
In view of the Class A Action approved by the Board of
Regents in item No. 12 of these minutes, President Armstrong
recommended applying the rule retroactively to the case of
Maurice R. Demers, whose death occurred on January 10, 1963.
This would mean that payment to the estate would be made as
follows:
Regular salary through January 10 ($301.04 against
regular contract and $88.48 against letter of appoint-
ment for In-Service Institute in Mathematics) plus 1/12
of regular contract ($816.66) or a total of $1206.18.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that payment be made to the
Estate of Dr. Demers, as recommended.
19. Payment for Nuclear Reactor
Mr. Humphrey had submitted the following report on payment
for the L-77 Laboratory Reactor: Contract with Atomics
International is for total payment of $66,700. Transpor-
tation and unloading charges amount to $790. This totals
$67,490. There is available in the Margaret Charitable
Trust $50,000 and in the Nuclear Reactor Gifts Account
$15,900, making a total of $65,900. This amount is $1590
less than the obligation.
President Armstrong recommended that the Lowell Daniels
Endowment Income Account be used for the $1590 balance due.
The income from this account is unrestricted and sufficient
funds are available.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the recommendation be
approved.
20. Daughters of the American Revolution
Letters had been received by President Armstrong and by
Chairman Grant from the local Vice-Regent of D. A. R. asking
the University to subscribe to a paid advertisement in the
February 1964 issue of the magazine, which will be devoted
largely to Nevada and to Mrs. Robert Z. Hawkins, D. A. R.
Regent. President Armstrong referred to previous action
taken by Board of Regents on October 11, 1946 as follows:
Motion of Mr. Sirkegian carried unanimously that, on
and after the date of the passage of this resolution,
no paid solicited advertising of the University shall
be placed in any publication other than those publish-
ed, sponsored, or produced by the University.
There was unanimous agreement that the President be author-
ized to thank the D. A. R. for the letter and inform them
that the University cannot subscribe to paid advertising.
The Chairman was so ordered.
21. National Defense Student Loan Program
Since the Legislature did not appropriate money for the
University's 1/9 matching of Federal funds for the National
Defense Student Loan Program, it is necessary to make other
monies available if the Loan Program is to continue in
1963-64. Mr. Humphrey reported that the advance allocation
for 1963-64 is $46,112. This would require $5,123.55 match-
ing money; however, the University is presently over-depos-
ited $1,335.33 and only $3,788.22 will be required at this
time.
President Armstrong recommended that the Board authorize a
transfer from the Garvey Rhodes Loan Fund (61-5006) of
$3,788.22 to the National Defense Education Act Student
Loan Fund (61-4001).
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that the transfer from the Garvey Rhodes Loan
Fund be approved.
22. HHFA Dormitory Project
President Armstrong presented a report from Mr. Humphrey on
interim financing for the HHFA Dormitory Project to be built
on North Virginia Street. On June 2, 1962, the Board auth-
orized the Administration to negotiate for interim financ-
ing. A commitment was then secured from the First National
Bank of Nevada to loan up to $2 million for the project at
the HHFA "take out rate" current when the money was needed.
It will be necessary to pay $331,405 for the cemetery prop-
erty late in June of this year. Since there have been
changes in the Board and a year has passed since the author-
ization was given, renewal of the authorization is here
being requested. President Armstrong so recommended.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the Board of Regents
authorize the Administration to borrow from the First
National Bank of Nevada up to $2 million at the current
HHFA "take out rate" for interim financing purposes for
purchase of land, construction of buildings and related
costs in connection with the construction of Dormitory or
Dormitories on property adjacent to the University of Nevada
Campus at Reno.
RESOLUTION 63-4
WHEREAS, by Chapter 282, Statues of Nevada, 1961, the Board
of Regents of the University of Nevada was authorized to
undertake certain building projects at the Reno Campus,
namely a Men's Dormitory costing $1,200,00 and a Women's
Dormitory costing $1,200,000; and
WHEREAS, the cost of such building projects was further
authorized thereby to be financed by issuance by the Board
of Regents, University of Nevada, of Revenue Certificates,
and the amortization and payment thereof out of proceeds
derived from the use of said constructed facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Regents, University of Nevada, has
applied for and the Housing and Home Finance Agency has
reserved $2,400,000 (Projects CH-Nev-4(D) and CH-Nev-5(D))
and approval of the final application is considered imminent
and such approval will result in a contract between the
University of Nevada and the Federal Government providing
that the Government will purchase $2,400,000 of said revenue
certificates, the University of Nevada's obligation and in-
debtedness, in connection with the financing of such con-
struction projects, including land acquisition; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary in connection with such construc-
tion program to purchase approximately 5 acres of land from
the Roman Catholic Bishop of Reno, A Corporation Sole,
Robert J. Dwyer, Incumbent, and $331,405 must be placed in
escrow for this purpose June 28, 1963; and
WHEREAS, it is also necessary to have interim financing dur-
ing construction prior to the sale of the revenue certifi-
cates and First National Bank of Nevada has tentatively a-
greed to loan up to $2,000,000 for this purpose bearing in-
terest at the current H. H. F. A. "take-out rate" (assumed
to be 3.5 percent), said interest to accrue from the date
advances are made under the commitment; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Board of Regents, Uni-
versity of Nevada, that the loan for interim financing shall
be repaid to the First National Bank of Nevada from the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the said revenue certificates to the
Government of the United States of America, acting through
the Housing and Home Finance Agency.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. That the offer of the loan for interim financing of such
property acquisition and construction, upon the terms
and conditions as made by the First National Bank of
Nevada to the University of Nevada, be accepted.
2. That the Chairman of the Board of Regents or the Presi-
dent, University of Nevada, be authorized to execute all
proper and necessary documents in connection with the
loan for such interim financing on behalf of the Board
of Regents, University of Nevada, with the First Nation-
al Bank of Nevada.
23. Audit of Selected Agency Accounts (Fund Group 81)
President Armstrong presented the report of Mr. Humphrey.
The University serves as bank for a variety of student
funds. The Associated Students University of Nevada (in-
cluding the Bookstore) Fund is audited annually by an in-
dependent auditor and upon request of the President last
Fall, a copy was filed with the Business Office. The
Legislative Auditor was recently requested to prepare a
more complete and detailed audit of the Student Union Board
Fund for the 1963-64 year. Their reply was that they will
not do this for agency funds and that a cash balance audit
is all that will be prepared.
President Armstrong recommended that the Associated Students
(ASUN), the Confederated Students of Nevada Southern, and
the Student Union Board be required to submit to the Board
of Regents an annual audit report prepared by an independent
auditor, either a Certified Public Accountant or a Register-
ed Accountant, effective for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1963. The President further recommended that the remaining
Agency Fund accounts be required, effective July 1, 1963 to
keep their records on forms provided by the Office of the
Business Manager, to enable the Business Office to post-
audit for the protection of the students and the University.
The cash balance audit will continue to be completed as a
part of the Legislative post-audit.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the above recommendation be approved.
24. Aircraft, National Science Foundation Grant
President Armstrong discussed the request of Professor
Mordy to acquire release of an aircraft for the University
of Nevada, to be used, as required, for the Nevada Atmos-
pheric Research Project under grant from National Science
Foundation. This involves instrumentation and equipping
of an aircraft for measurement of condensation nuclei,
drops, size, distribution and existence in clouds, as part
of the Desert Research Institute Weather Modification pro-
gram in Elko. A surplus Beechcraft C-45 is available with-
out charge at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, Arizona.
All expenses for repairs, operating, insuring and acquiring
will be met from non-appropriated funds of the Desert Re-
search Institute. A resolution is requested authorizing
transfer of the plane, indicating that the University will
accept it, that funds are available to pay for bringing it
up to Federal Aviation Agency specifications, and to trans-
port the plane to Reno.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that the Administration be authorized to prepare
such a resolution and to proceed to acquire the plane.
25. Judge John R. Ross
The Regents, at their last meeting, took action to have
prepared a suitable resolution in memory of Judge Ross.
The resolution, as follows, was here presented and signed
by members of the Board. The original will be sent to
Mrs. Ross, with copies to the son and daughters.
RESOLUTION #63-3

THE HONORABLE JOHN R. ROSS

Judge, was a distinguished alumnus of the University of
Nevada, bringing honor and recognition upon his alma mater;
and
WHEREAS, his brilliant career as an attorney and as a member
of the Federal System of Judiciary reflected the highest
ideals of integrity and justice; and
WHEREAS, his life was a proud symbol of those qualities of
independence in thinking and action that are the real tra-
ditions of Nevada; and
WHEREAS, the influences of his personal kindness and under-
standing of his fellow man will never be forgotten by all
who knew him;

University of Nevada express deep sorrow at the untimely

Board, that the National League for Nursing's Collegiate
Board of Review, at its meeting on April 27, 1963, voted to
grant initial accreditation to the baccalaureate program
offered by the Orvis School of Nursing, which includes
Public Health Nursing and a plan whereby Registered Nurse
students are admitted to this program.
28. Medical Examinations, Osteopathic
President Armstrong read a letter from Dean Carlson re-
questing information on the acceptability of Osteopathic
Physicians in completing University medical examination
forms for student applicants. President Armstrong referred
to Regents' minutes of August 24-25, 1962, when the subject
was then discussed and agreement reached to look further
into the matter. Deputy Attorney General Finnegan reiter-
ated the previous opinion of Mr. Porter that the University
should accept examinations by Osteopaths in keeping with
provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes 633.140.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that Dean Carlson be notified that University
regulations permit student examinations by Osteopaths.
29. Next Meeting
A 2-day meeting of the Board was suggested by Dr. Armstrong
to give him an opportunity to present some detailed reports
concerning long range future planning of the University.
July 26-27, 1963 was set, at which time also the corner-
stone would be laid for the Engineering-Mines building and
the Atmospherium will be dedicated.
30. Indian Culture
Dr. Anderson discussed the subject. In the past there has
been discussion concerning the University's participation
in a study to preserve the Indian culture of the area. Dr.
Anderson proposed that a Regents' committee be appointed to
investigate the feasibility of establishing a University
inter-disciplinary functioning unit as an American Indian
Center or American Indian Institute. He thought the Uni-
versity concern might include all American Indian nations
or tribes, but especially those of the Great Basin, and
become a depository for documents pertaining to them. He
further mentioned tribal councils, scholarhips, and other
means of aiding the Indians and preserving their culture.
He proposed that the first committee be composed of Regents
and later a Faculty and Adminstration Committee could be
appointed.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that such a Regents' Committee be appointed.
Chairman Grant appointed Dr. Anderson, Chairman, Mrs. Magee
and Mr. Jacobsen.
31. Music, Nevada Southern
Mr. Germain spoke of the need for a Music Department at
Nevada Southern, and suggested that the Administration
begin to plan for procurement of instruments or to include
this item in the next biennial budget.
32. University History
Dr. Anderson spoke of the need for steps to be taken to
bring the history of the University up to date. He thought
the Centennial year would be a good target date. President
Armstrong asked Mr. Laxalt to study the matter and give him
some idea of what it might cost in time and money.
33. Track Team
Mr. Hug spoke of the truly remarkable record of this year's
track team, and suggested that the Regents officially take
note of the outstanding record.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried unani-
mously that the Secretary write a note on behalf of the
Regents commending the track team and Coach Dankworth for
their contribution to the University's Athletic Program.
34. Assistant to the President
Mr. Hug suggested again that the Administration continue to
search for someone to head the University Development Pro-
gram. Mr. Jacobsen again suggested that the News Bureau
start preparation of a brochure showing what programs or
areas were hurt or eliminated due to reduction in the Uni-
versity's appropriation.
The meeting adjourned at 3:40 P.M.
The next meeting will be held on July 26-27, 1963 in Reno.
