UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
BOARD OF REGENTS
June 2, 1962
The Board of Regents met on Saturday, June 2, 1962, in room 205,
Morrill Hall, Reno Campus. Present: Regents Anderson, Arnold,
Broadbent, Germain, Grant, Hug, Lombardi, Magee; Engineer Rogers,
Vice President Young, Business Manager Humphrey, and President
Armstrong. Chief Deputy Attorney General Porter was present as
Legal Adviser. Mr. Hancock, of the State Planning Board, was
present for items pertaining to the building program. Budget
Director Barrett was present as an observer. Messrs. Laxalt,
Dromiack and Joyce covered the meeting for the Press.
The meeting was called to order at 9:15 A.M. by Chairman Grant.
1. Minutes of Previous Meeting
Minutes of the meeting of April 28, 1962 were approved upon
motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Germain and unanimous
vote.
2. Regents' Building Committee & Master Planning
Messrs. Rodgers, Hurley and Kirkpatrick, representatives of
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, were present to discuss their
proposals on the overall planning program of the University.
They had met the previous afternoon with the Regents' Build-
ing Committee. President Armstrong reported on the Commit-
tee meeting referring to the minutes, as follows:
BOARD OF REGENTS BUILDING COMMITTEE
June 1, 1962
Present: Anderson, Arnold, Broadbent, Germain, Grant, Hug,
Lombardi, Magee; Armstrong, Young, Rogers; Hancock, State
Planning Board; Rogers, Kirkpatrick, Hurley, Skidmore,
Owings & Merrill; Broten, Lawlor, Physical Education.
1. Master Plan
Dr. Young reported on recent meetings of the Campus
Development Committee and the Master Plan Contact Com-
mittee with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. He reported
that there was agreement on two main points concerning
the Master Plan for the Reno Campus and that these
would require action by the Board of Regents.
a. The Committees agreed on the essential ingredients
of an "organic plan" which would designate general
areas of the Campus for academic purposes, Univer-
sity services, etc., with the exception that the
University would like to see the Evans Avenue area,
the area immediately north of Fine Arts, and the
west side of the quad reserved for academic uses.
b. The Committees agreed that financial considerations,
Campus needs, and principles of good planning all
dictate that the next academic buildings to be con-
structed should be located immediately north of the
present academic complex, which would place them in
the area occupied by Mackay Stadium. Other sites
were considered -- the Clark Field-Naval Reserve
area (proposed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill) and
locations on the quad (proposed by the University),
but very real disadvantages were pointed out in
regard to both of these suggestions.
Mr. John Rodgers of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill presented
a revised Master Plan for 7,000 FTE and an organic plan
for 15,000 FTE. He particularly commented on the rea-
sons dictating the placement of the Social Sciences and
and the Physical Sciences buildings on the site of the
present Mackay Stadium.
Dr. G. A. Broten and Mr. Glenn Lawlor were asked to
point out their needs for Physical Education and Ath-
letics and to discuss the probable effect of the tempo-
rary removal of the Stadium.
Mr. William Hancock explained that the State Planning
Board would support request for design and construction
money for the Physical Education facilities at the next
session of the Legislature. He suggested that it might
be wisest to go first for money to construct the fields
and track and to follow up with money for the field
house.
President Armstrong recommended that the Regents seek
design money for the Stadium and other Athletic fields
in 1963-64 and construction money for these facilities
plus design money for the field house and Physical
Education and ROTC facilities in 1964-65.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Hug, that the
general organic plan, as presented June 1, 1962, by
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, be approved, including the
proposed location of the Social Sciences building and
the Physical Sciences building in the Mackay Stadium
area, with the understanding that immediate funding will
be sought from the State Legislature for new Physical
Education facilities. Motion passed with Mr. Germain
dissenting. Mr. Hancock assured the Committee that
the State Planning Board would give its full support to
this action. He also said that members of the Legisla-
tive Commission would not oppose this move. The only
problem might be the ceiling on bonded indebtedness.
2. Dormitory and Cafeteria for Nevada Southern
Mr. Germain asked if the above action would jeopardize
the possible funding of a Dormitory and Cafeteria for
Nevada Southern. Mr. Rogers explained that it is now
possible to finance an initial increment of housing
through HHFA. However, the need must be justified.
Mr. Rogers was asked to obtain information from Dean
Carlson regarding a survey of student interest in and
need for housing and to follow through with HHFA.
3. Nevada Southern Master Plan
Mr. Rodgers briefly presented the preliminary draft of
a Master Plan for Nevada Southern (based on a possible
enrollment of 10,000 FTE). It presumed the acquisition
of additional land to the north to Flamingo Road and
south to Bond Road. Dr. Young pointed out that the
Contact Committee felt that a study should be made of
the possible acquisition of land to the southwest,
trading land to the northwest.
President Armstrong recommended that Skidmore, Owings
& Merrill representatives be directed to continue to
work with the University staff on this matter. It was
planned to have a staff meeting the week of June 11,
with a Regents' Building Committee meeting to follow
when recommendations are firmed up.
President Armstrong recommended that the Committee ask the
Board for authorization to approve an organic plan for the
Las Vegas Campus.
Kenneth E. Young
Acting Secretary
As stated in item 1 of the Building Committee minutes, a
revised Master Plan was presented, and motion carried to
approve it as presented.
Dr. Armstrong discussed the action taken by the Building
Committee in item 3, Nevada Southern Master Plan, and the
recommendations contained therein.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously that the minutes of the Building Committee be
accepted, and that the actions taken be approved.
In view of the fact that Dr. Anderson will be away for the
greater part of the Summer, Chairman Grant appointed Regent
Lombardi to serve as Chairman of the Regents' Building Com-
mittee during the absence of Dr. Anderson.
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill representatives reported that
they will meet with members of the University staff on the
afternoon of June 12.
3. Approval of Check Registers
President Armstrong presented the attached Check Registers
as submitted by Business Manager and recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the Check Registers be
approved.
4. Endowment Funds
Report and recommendations were submitted by Mr. Humphrey
and discussed by President Armstrong and Mr. Humphrey, as
follows:
1. I believe the present Managing Agency Agreement places
responsibilities on the Investment Committee which are
inappropriate and which are not being carried out. Mr.
Kwapli advises me that he considers the present ar-
rangement "extremely cumbersome". I suggest that the
terms of the agreement be modified to provide that the
First National Bank shall have full investment responsi-
bility to make such sales and purchases in such secur-
ities as it deems advisable without the necessity of
obtaining prior written approval of the Investment Com-
mittee. The Investment Committee would then be left
with the responsibility of reviewing periodically the
reports of the Bank as to its stewardship and to making
recommendations to the Board of Regents relative to the
general investment policy which the Bank should be in-
structed to follow. A copy of a proposed amendment to
the agency agreement is also submitted.
2. The endowment pool will be operated on a "shares value
method" basis (similar to an open end investment trust)
which will cause the capital gains, or losses, to be
reflected at least annually in the accounts pool. The
following modifications will be observed:
A. The pool will be valued by the Bank on May 24 each
year unless a more frequent valuation is requested
by the University. More than one valuation each
year will result in an extra fee by the Bank.
B. New endowments, or additions to the corpus of exist-
ing endowments, will be accepted into the investment
pool only at the date of a quarterly distribution
of income.
C. The new endowment will "purchase" the percentage
share of the pool at the rate determined by the
last annual evaluation.
D. Should the University receive new endowments which
in the aggregate total $25,000 or more ($25,000 is
.9% of the June 30, 1961 assets of $2,674,235) the
Business Manager shall:
(1) If the endowment is in the form of securities,
transmit the securities to the Bank with in-
structions to hold and manage the securities
separately until the next May 24; or
(2) If the endowment is in cash, invest in U. S.
Treasury Bills which will mature prior to the
next May 24, at which time the principal shall
be added to the pool.
President Armstrong recommended the proposal be referred to
the Investment Committee for further study.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously that the report be accepted, and referred to the
Investment Committee for study and recommendation to the
Board at a later meeting.

6. Building Program
Mr. Rogers made a progress report as follows:
a) Addition to the Jot Travis Student Union Building - Due
to the necessity of revising mechanical plans, the de-
livery of final plans for review has been delayed. The
current schedule indicates these plans will be available
on June 11, 1962. The plans and specifications for the
revision in the mechanical room of the existing Jot
Travis building are being checked and will be ready for
bid early in June.
In order to avoid delay, President Armstrong recommended
that the Regents' Building Committee be authorized to ap-
prove final plans.
b) Women's Dormitory, Reno Campus - Progressing satisfac-
torily. The architect's analysis of the contractor's
quotation for the proposed mechanical revisions has
been resubmitted to the contractor with instructions
to reanalyze subcontract costs. Some delay is being
experienced due to carpenters' and electricians' strike.
c) Extension of Heat Line, Reno Campus - Progressing satis-
factorily.
d) Remodeling of Clark Library Building, Reno Campus - Pro-
gressing on schedule.
e) Engineering-Mines Building Reno Campus - Progressing
satisfactorily.
f) Rehabilitation and Extension of Utilities (Power and
Fire Alarm), Reno Campus - Progressing on schedule.
g) Getchell Library Building, Reno Campus - On May 1, 1962,
the architect certified that the work was completed as
per plans and specifications with the exception of 10
specific items. Two of these items have been completed
and work is progressing on those remaining uncompleted.
In order to avoid delay in accepting the above projects,
President Armstrong recommended that the Building Committee
be authorized to approval final plans in (a) and to accept
the projects (b) through (g) when completed.
h) Construction and Extension of Utilities, Las Vegas
Campus - On May 19, 1962 the design engineer certified
that the work was completed in accordance with the plans
and specifications. The University has been requested
to accept this project.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously that the Building Committee be authorized to
accept the project (h) on behalf of the Board.
i) Library, Las Vegas Campus - Work is progressing satis-
factorily. Bids on requested lounge furniture have
been deferred pending the establishment of mutually
satisfactory quality controls. A trip to San Francisco
by members of University staff, Planning Board staff,
State Purchasing Director, and Budget Director has been
scheduled for this purpose.
j) The matter of selection of architects was discussed, and
the Regents reaffirmed their policy that the Regents'
Building Committee be authorized to make final selection
of architects in consultation with the State Planning
Board.
k) Heat Plant, Reno Campus - Mr. Rogers discussed final
plans designed to convert the Heat Plant to service the
Jot Travis building. Mr. Rogers requested approval,
explaining that this would eliminate one of the Heat
Plants that has been maintained. President Armstrong
recommended that the Regents approve these final plans
so that work might be accomplished this coming Summer.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the final plans for the Heat Plant be
approved, as presented.
7. Wilson Property Matter
President Armstrong read a letter from Nat and Opal Wilson
of 1045 Evans Avenue calling "attention to the deplorable
condition of our property, since the abandonment of the Orr
Ditch". The letter further stated that their (the Wilson)
property includes the Orr Ditch which, they say, is located
east of the land owned by the University. The writers
stated that their Title from the Washoe Title Guaranty
Company gives them right of way of the Orr Ditch and any
easements pertaining thereto. Final paragraph in the letter
stated, "I hereby give Notice to the University of Nevada
Board of Regents of my intentions and legal right to con-
struct a fence bordering the West side of the Orr Ditch to
protect our property". The President asked permission to
tell her that the Regents will have the matter searched.
Mr. Rogers explained that Mr. and Mrs. Wilson feel that
their property line extends to the west side of the Orr
Ditch and that this is in conflict with the map of the
University showing the boundary on the east side of the
ditch.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the President be author-
ized to refer the matter to a Title Company for preliminary
search.
8. Catholic Church Property
President Armstrong discussed the matter and referred to
the following letter, terms and conditions of which had
been worked out by Dr. Young, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Rogers,
with the advice of Mr. Porter. President Armstrong recom-
mended approval.
May 14, 1962
Reverend Thomas J. Connolly
St. Albert the Great Roman Catholic Church
10 Artemisia Way
Reno, Nevada
Dear Father Connolly:
This is to notify you of the acceptance by the University
of Nevada of your offer to sell the Roman Catholic Cemetery
property (5.156 acres) on North Virginia Street opposite the
University for the sum of $320,000. The purchase price is
to include removal of all graves and head stone or markers
as provided by State and Municipal laws. We are also in
agreement that we will request the State Planning Board to
purchase an option for $2,500 from the Church to purchase
for the sum of $220,000 the St. Albert School building, the
plot of land occupied by the school and the playground plot.
We understand that your offer to sell the cemetery is con-
ditional and that you will not sell unless the option is
purchased. Consequently, in order to complete this sale we
shall have to await the State Planning Board's action.
We assume that the terms of the sale will be as discussed,
namely;
(1) that the Church will provide an insured title and
will pay the U. S. document tax and that the Uni-
versity will pay any other closing costs such as
escrow fees; and
(2) the payment schedule will be $120,000 on June 15,
1962, $98,000 on or about December 15, 1962 (when
grave removal has been completed) and $102,000
ninety days later when the University takes pos-
session.
It is also to be understood that our acceptance of your of-
fer is conditional as follows:
1. The Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency must
approve the University's aplication for the con-
struction of Dormitories on this site and approve
the loan for this purpose. The agency has indicat-
ed approval verbally and the formal application is
now in process of being made. No complication is
expected in securing this approval.
2. Should legal action be taken against the Church to
prohibit grave removal, and should this action de-
lay transfer of title beyond the dates specified
above, the University would expect the Church to
assume the interest payments on the monies already
paid by the University for the land.
We very much appreciate your cooperation and interest during
our negotiations and we look forward to a speedy consumation
of the transaction.
Cordially Yours,
/s/ Charles J. Armstrong
President
President Armstrong discussed interim financing as proposed
by Mr. Humphrey if the Board wishes to proceed prior to
January, 1963. The proposal stated that it would be best
to have authority to borrow from First National Bank of
Nevada at a negotiated rate for the necessary interim fin-
ancing, and that it would be safe to assume that the inter-
est rate would be the current HHFA take-out rate.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the Board approve the
negotiations to date for the Church property and authorize
the President to request the State Planning Board to pur-
chase the option; also that the Board authorize the Presi-
dent to proceed to negotiate for interim financing as pro-
posed.

11. FM Radio Station
The Faculty Committee on Educational Radio and Television
presented a recommendation as follows, and Dr. Armstrong
presented it to the Regents with his recommendation for
approval:
PROJECT
To establish a 10 watt FM radio station in the Fine Arts
building on the University of Nevada Campus. Such sta-
tion to be used in the training of students in Speech,
Drama, Journalism, Education and Electrical Engineering
and other such areas as would require such training.
It would be further used for the University news, public
relations and other such functions as would be fit pro-
grams originating from the University. The University
courses, which could be adapted to radio, would also be
broadcast as well as programs from the National Tape
Library for public school use.
ADMINISTRATION
Administration of the station would be the responsibil-
ity of the Director of Audio-Visual Communications. The
present Committee on Educational Radio and Television
would act as an Advisory Board for the operation of such
stations.
PERSONNEL
Personnel for the stations, for the year 1962-63, would
consist of the Director of Audio-Visual and such members
of his staff as would be useful in such a project as
well as faculty in Journalism, Speech, Drama, Electrical
Engineering and other Departments willing to participate
on a voluntary basis. Students and student help would
also be required in the operation and maintenance of
such a project.
FINANCING
The Committee felt that because of the importance of
such a project that approximately $7,000 be utilized
from the Audio-Visual equipment budget to provide the
necessary equipment for the station. Estimated opera-
tion for the first year would be approximately $3,000;
of which some would be provided from the operating bud-
get of the Audio-Visual Center and the remainder to be
obtained from other sources.
SUMMARY
The opinions as expressed by members of the Committee
indicates they feel this is essential in the functions
of a State University. They further feel that it is
needed to provide essential training and background of
experience for many students attending this Institution.
It is also their desire that if such a project is to be
undertaken that it be done as rapidly as possible in
order to have the project completed and ready for oper-
ation by the Fall semester, 1962-63, and so that plans
may be made to assign staff for programming and in order
that such programming may be developed immediately.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously by roll call vote that the establishment of an FM
radio station, as proposed above, be approved.

13. Committee on Salaries and Code
Chairman Broadbent reported on the meeting held on Friday,
June 1. Each member of the Board now had a copy of the
draft of the recommendations for the By-Laws of the Board
of Regents as submitted by Cresap, Mc Cormick and Paget.
Mr. Broadbent asked the Regents to study the proposals and
to make recommendations to the Committee. Another meeting
of the Committee is planned prior to the next regular meet-
ing of the Board, at which time the draft of the proposed
By-Laws will be gone over paragraph by paragraph in the hope
that the Committee can present to the Board recommendations
for the final draft of the By-Laws. Mr. Grant suggested
that the Committees, as proposed in the draft, be given
special thought, and Mr. Germain proposed that organization
of the Board be studied carefully.
MEETING OF THE REGENTS' SALARY AND CODE COMMITTEE
A meeting of the Regents' Salary and Code Committee was held
at 1:30 P.M. on June 1, 1962 in the Office of the President,
University of Nevada. Present were Mr. Broadbent, Chairman;
Mrs. Magee, Mr. Germain, Mr. Arnold, Mr. Grant (ex-officio)
and President Armstrong.
The purpose of the meeting was to review the final report of
Cresap, Mc Cormick and Paget incorporating suggested revi-
sions of the draft of their review of the Regents' By-Laws,
made to their representative, Mr. Conn, at his last meeting
with the Committee.
The final report referred to, entitled "A Study of the
Organization and Procedures of the Board of Regents Univer-
sity of Nevada", was submitted by Cresap, Mc Cormick and
Paget to Mr. Broadbent and the Committee under date of
March 28, 1962. Members of the Committee had had oppor-
tunity to review the revised report prior to this meeting.
There was considerable discussion of many of the detailed
recommendations and, in particular, there was general
agreement that a reduction in the number of Board meetings
as recommended by the report is not desirable; secondly,
that delegation of as much authority as indicated to com-
mittees of the Board of Regents is somewhat questionable;
and third, that it would be unwise to have persons other
than elected Regents serve on Regents' Committees.
A number of modifications in the suggested new By-Laws were
discussed including, for example, the recommendation that a
General Counsel should serve as an Officer of the Board, and
the recommendation that the Secretary should serve not only
as an Officer of the Board, but also be compensated for this
service. Rather, the Committee believed that the General
Counsel should not serve as an Officer of the Board, but as
a Consultant, and that the Secretary should be a member of
the Board of Regents, with the necessary clerical and secre-
tarial duties being performed by an Assistant Secretary who
would be regularly compensated. A number of other modifi-
cations in the suggested By-Laws were discussed.
Finally it was agreed that Chairman Broadbent will present
a progress report, without formal recommendation, to the
Board of Regents' meeting tomorrow, and will distribute
copies of the Cresap report to all members of the Board,
with the request that all members study the report and
send any comments and suggestions to the Chairman for re-
view later by this Committee.
Dr. Anderson entered the meeting at 3:30 P.M.
It was further agreed that the Committee should plan to meet
in advance of the Board of Regents' meeting scheduled for
August, to review suggestions received in the meantime and
to prepare detailed recommendations for action by the Board
of Regents.
The meeting adjourned at 3:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted
Charles J. Armstrong
Acting Secretary
14. Policies and Procedures Regarding the Special Use of
University Facilities
Proposed procedure policies were distributed to members of
the Board giving details of the policy for use of University
facilities. Action was deferred until the next meeting in
order to give the Regents sufficient time to study the pro-
posals.
15. Student Loan Program
The Office of Student Affairs has been investigating ways
in which the University might increase its aids to students,
particularly as to loans. They have now made a proposal
that the University participate in the United Student Aid
Fund to provide low cost loans for students through the
banks. Mr. Humphrey explained the plan, that loans would
be handled entirely by the banks. The University would then
certify that an individual is a student at the University in
good standing. The bank would interview the student, grant
the loan and make collection. The ratio of participation by
the United Student Aid Fund is 25 to 1, so that a deposit of
$1000 from the Garvey Rhodes Loan Fund (Account #61-50061)
would provide a loan fund of $25,000. In the case of non-
collection of a loan, the University would lose only its de-
posit, proportioned on the basis of the 25 to 1 ratio, and
the bank would be reimbursed for its loss by the United Stu-
dent Aid Fund. President Armstrong recommended approval and
suggested that the Garvey Rhodes Loan Fund (which is unre-
stricted) be used as the University deposit.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously by roll call vote, that the Administration be
authorized to proceed with the above student loan plan.
16. Transfer of Budgeted Funds
President Armstrong discussed the following recommendations,
which had been submitted by Mr. Humphrey for handling of
certain University accounts, and recommended approval:
(1) Deposit of income from investment of surplus operating
capital as follows:
A. Interest earned from moneys in Fund. No. 1 to be
credited to Fund 1 (this practice approved by Board
on September 9, 1961).
B. Interest earned from moneys in Fund 91, Plant Fund,
be credited to the specific sub-fund in Fund 91
which is invested. This is present practice.
C. Interest earned from moneys in Funds 11-61 inclu-
sive and 81 be deposited in a new account titled
"Board of Regents Special Projects" to be expended
at the direction of the Board. (This amends policy
approved by Board on September 9, 1961, which dedi-
cated this income to the President's Discretionary
Fund).
(2) Transfer of moneys deposited to 51-4008, President's
Discretionary Fund, under present policy, to new "Board
of Regents Special Projects" account 51-4054 in the
amount of $15,560.10.
(3) Transfer of balance of Curtiss-Wright Gift, Account
51-4035 to President's Discretionary Fund, Account
51-4008 in the amount of $3,729.33.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the above proposals
and fund transfers be approved.
President Armstrong discussed the proposal that the Business
Office be reviewed in the Fall of 1962 by a respected auth-
ority in the field of University Business Administration,
and recommended that he be authorized to enter into contract
for such a study and review. He pointed out that when Mr.
Humphrey was employed a year ago he asked for the opportu-
nity to make certain needed changes, which now have been
accomplished. It is now agreed by President Armstrong and
Mr. Humphrey that a study of the procedure and the account-
ing system is in order.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the President be author-
ized to enter into contract for review of the Business
Office, as recommended.
President Armstrong discussed the agreement for collateral
with the First National Bank of Nevada. Mr. Humphrey pro-
posed an amendment to the agreement providing for an in-
crease of $1,000,000 in pledged collateral, making a total
of $1,500,000 at First National bank and $2,051,200 at all
banks. President Armstrong recommended that the amendment
be approved, and explained that this more than adequately
provides the 110% found necessary after one year's study
of the average balance.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the amendment to the collateral agreement
be approved.
17. Reserve for Contingencies
President Armstrong discussed the proposal of Mr. Humphrey,
submitted after conference with Dr. Armstrong, that as of
July 1, 1962 the account "President's Reserve" in Fund No. 1
be changed to "Reserve for Contingencies" to be available
only for transfer to other accounts. The Fund would start
with a credit of $191,772 as of July 1. President Armstrong
recommended that the "Reserve for Contingencies" Fund be es-
tablished and that the transfer procedure be as follows:
(1) Transfers of $2000 or less may be approved by the Pres-
ident and shall be reported to the Board of Regents at
their next meeting.
(2) Transfers of more than $2000 shall be subject to the
approval of the Board of Regents.
Motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the "President's Reserve" Fund be changed
to the "Reserve for Contingencies" Fund and the transfer
procedure be approved effective July 1, 1962.
18. Nuclear Engineering Program
President Armstrong reported. The program in Nuclear Engi-
neering has reached the point where, if the University is
to advance, a critical reactor must be secured. Within
the past year, through contacts with Atomics International,
a subisdiary of North American Aviation Company, a small
10-watt reactor has become available which has all the
features the University needs at the present time. It
is the safest reactor on the market, and does not require
shielding. Total cost, after negotiation, is approximately
$58,000. There is now $50,000 in the Terris Moore "Margaret
Trust Fund" which could be used for purchase of the reactor.
Several people in the community have become interested and
have raised a considerable amount of money, so that the
reactor could be purchased entirely from gift funds. The
plan would be to house the reactor in a quonset until the
new Engineering-Mines building is complete. President
Armstrong reported that he had discussed the matter with
the Chairman of the Legislative Commission and received
his concurrence. He further proposed that the Administra-
tion be authorized to complete the transaction for purchase
of the reactor.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Arnold, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the Administration be
authorized to complete negotiations for purchase of the
reactor, using available funds in Terris Moore "Margaret
Trust Fund".
19. Smallpox Vaccination
Recently certain members of the Christian Science Church
protested the requirement that entering students be vac-
cinated for smallpox, on the basis that it is protection
to the individual and against their religious beliefs.
This requirement is part of the policy approved by the
Board of Regents that all entering students must undergo
a physical examination including smallpox vaccination. Dr.
Lombardi discussed the matter, saying that the protection
is not only for the individual but also in order that the
disease will not be communicated. It is a matter of public
health policy. Dr. Anderson agreed. Mr. Porter advised
that from a legal point of view, the requirement does not
conflict with religious beliefs.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that present policy of the Regents for required
physical examination of all new students, including smallpox
vaccination, be reaffirmed and that the Administration check
with other institutions for information as to their policies
in this regard.
20. University Budget, 1963-65
President Armstrong reported the following action schedule
for the next Biennial Budget:
June 1 - Budget due in the Business Manager's Office
July 9-14 - Budget hearings in the President's Office
August 1 - Detailed budgets to be forwarded to Regents
August 25 - Consideration of Budget by Regents
The next meeting of the Board was set for Friday and Satur-
day, August 24 and 25. It was agreed that the meeting on
August 24 will be held in Reno starting at 1:00 P.M.; and
that the meeting on August 25 will be held in Carson City
starting at 9:30 A.M.
Mr. Grant asked the Regents to study the Budget thoroughly
and to refer any questions to the Administration prior to
the meeting.
21. Request for Junior College, Elko
A letter was received, signed by Fred B. Harris and Mark
Chilton of Elko, Nevada, offering to the University "sixty
(60) acres of choice land near the City of Elko to be used
for a Junior College Campus site". The letter further stat-
ed, "You may select this land from Section 7, Township 34
North, Range 55 East, MDB&M. The location of this land with
respect to the City of Elko, is shaded green on the accompa-
nying map. You are invited to look at the acreage and make
a selection of the proposed Campus site anytime between now
and February 28, 1963. When the site is chosen, we will
deliver to you merchantable title to the selected sixty (60)
acre site, free and clear, for $1.00."
A letter had also been received from the Elko Chamber of
Commerce urging the Regents to give serious thought to giv-
ing Elko prior consideration should any plans for a Junior
College be contemplated.
The letters were discussed and also the future possible
development of the University in other areas of the State.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the Administration be authorized to inspect
the property offered at Elko and also that members of the
Administration talk with Dr. Gallagher, President of the
Elko Chamber of Commerce, and report back to the Regents
at their next meeting; further that the Administration be
authorized to inspect any land offered for site purposes
throughout the State, and at the same time make a study as
to the number of students who would be interested in attend-
ing a Junior College.
It was agreed informally that the offer at Elko be given
publicity to encourage similar offers from other communi-
ties.
The meeting adjourned at 11:45 A.M.
The next meeting was set for Friday afternoon, August 25, 1962 in
Reno and Saturday, August 25, 1962 in Carson City.
