Mr. Dick Baker of the State Planning Board came to the meeting at
9:30 A.M., the time set for consideration of the University's
Building Program.
8. Unnamed University Buildings
Regent Anderson, Chairman of the Regents' Building Commit-
tee, asked for suggestions. President Armstrong read a
memo from Dr. Young on behalf of the Campus Development
Committee raising the following questions:
1. When should the word "building" be used and when
should the word "hall" be used?
2. Should buildings be named after living persons?
3. Should buildings bear a title that indicates func-
tion (Fine Arts, etc.)?
4. Should Schools and Colleges be named? If so, should
the name of the School or College be the same as the
name of the building in which it is housed?
5. Should Campus streets be named?
Other matters of policy in naming buildings were brought up
and discussed. Agreement was reached by consensus that the
Regents' Building Committee meet and recommend a policy for
naming buildings.
9. Campus Development Committee
Dr. Young was asked to report. A meeting was held on June 2
with three members of the Regents' Building Committee pres-
ent. Mr. Rodgers of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill attended
the meeting also.
After considerable discussion, the Campus Development Com-
mittee took the following actions:
1. Indicated agreement with the following standards for
classroom utilization, as proposed by Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill, AS A GOAL for the University of Nevada:
a. General purpose classrooms (lecture, seminar) to be
scheduled 30 hours per week with 60 percent student
station utilization.
b. Special purpose classrooms (Laboratory) to be sched-
uled 20 hours per week with 80 percent student sta-
tion utilization.
2. Indicated agreement with the following standards for
space, as proposed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill:
No. of Students Sq. Ft./FTE St. Total Sq. Ft
--------------- --------------- ------------
15 20 300
30 16 494
45 15 665
60 14 836
125 11 1446
250 11 2890
Dr. Young explained that action was taken with the
understanding that the University of Nevada is a rela-
tively small institution but that as a State University
and a Land Grant Institution, it must offer a wide di-
versity of courses and programs, and therefore will re-
quire considerable growth in enrollment in order to im-
prove in facility utilization.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the report be accepted and the actions of
the Campus Development Committee be ratified.
10. Building Program Progress Report
Mr. Rogers reported as follows:
All projects under construction are moving along, having
been held up somewhat on account of rain.
The Radiology Laboratory in Las Vegas will be ready for
inspection on Tuesday of the next week. When this has been
accomplished, the Federal agency will start moving in.
The Science Techology building in Las Vegas will be occu-
pied before the opening of school in September.
The design for the primary power distribution system in Las
Vegas is in the preliminary stage.
Some preliminary work is being done on the location of a
playing field in Las Vegas.
The Reno Campus Library building will not be completed by
August 1, as previously planned, but will be ready before
school opens the middle of September.
Excavation has been accomplished for the Engineering build-
ing in Reno, and concrete is being poured.
The Heat Plant in Reno will be completed on schedule. De-
sign of the Distribution lines is underway and is close to
preliminary plans.
The Dairy Farm building is coming along well after a slow
start. Excavation is complete and they have started pour-
ing concrete.
The University Engineer has met with Peter Johnson of the
State Planning Board staff and they have gone through the
old Library building in Reno and will try to negotiate a
contract.
11. Building Program, Approval of Plans
President Armstrong called on Mr. Rogers.
a) Women's Dormitory, Reno
Architect Ray Hellman of Hellman and Vhay discussed the
proposed plans. Request will be made to demolish the
Heat Plant at the north end of the Dining Hall building.
The project will then be ready for bid. President
Armstrong recommended that the Administration be author-
ized to proceed.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, car-
ried unanimously that, upon approval of final plans,
the Administration be authorized to proceed with the
Dormitory project which will occupy part of the site
of the old Dining Hall.
b) Life Science Wing, Reno
Architect Parsons discussed financial problems in con-
nection with the Life Science Wing. Originally repre-
sentatives of the National Institutes of Health indi-
cated that $158,000 would be forthcoming as a Federal
grant. Plans were drawn accordingly. It was later
learned that only $56,000 would be received from the
government agency. Mr. Parsons amended the building
plans to keep within the amount available by eliminat-
ing air conditioning equipment, and the elevator, and
by reduction of Laboratory equipment. President
Armstrong recommended approval of the plans as amended.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Germain, car-
ried unanimously that the final plans for the Life
Science Wing be approved, subject to usual checking.
Motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Mr. Germain, car-
ried unanimously that the final plans for the Women's
Dormitory be approved, subject to completion of check-
ing.
d) Library, Las Vegas
Mr. Rogers discussed the proposed final plans for the
Las Vegas Library building, in the absence of architect
Mc Daniel, who was unable to attend the meeting. The
building has been planned to permit future expansion to
three stories. President Armstrong recommended approval
of the plans, subject to usual checking.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the final plans for the Library build-
ing at Nevada Southern be approved, subject to checking.
12. Aerial Survey, Las Vegas Campus
Mr. Rogers showed aerial survey drawings which were essen-
tially complete, needing only minor changes and corrections.
They were approved by consensus.
13. Master Planning
Dr. Young discussed proposed models of the Campus. The
State Planning Board has about $2,000 for models of the two
Campuses and plans to make new models - one for each Campus
- at the scale of 1-100. The present model of the Reno
Campus is on the scale of 1-40. The plan is to place per-
manent buildings on the model and to provide blocks for new
buildings to scale. As new buildings are approved, new
blocks would be located. The models, which would belong to
the University would be paid for from money appropriated for
the aerial surveys. General discussion followed as to
whether to leave the matter of decision as to the new models
to the Regents' Building Committee or to leave it in the
hands of the State Planning board. Consensus was that a-
greement be reached between the Regents' Building Committee
and the State Planning Board. Regent Germain was asked to
work with Nevada Southern on the project.
14. U. S. Public Health Buildings
Mr. Germain reported that he had been contracted by the
architectural firm Moffitt and Hendricks that they had been
commissioned to draft plans for three more buildings in the
U. S. Public Health complex and that there was a possibil-
ity that request would be made to locate them on the Nevada
Southern Campus. It was agreed that Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill be given the information. Mr. Rogers also was in
possession of this information by letter from Moffitt and
Hendricks.
15. Getchell Library Building
Mr. Rogers showed drawings and discussed the treatment pro-
posed for the southwest corner entrance. He proposed a
walkway as a short cut to this portion of the building,
rather than the ramp which was approved by the Regents at
their last meeting, but which was not acceptable to the
architectural firm. President Armstrong recommended that
the Board approve this solution to the problem.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the previous action of the Board be re-
scinded and that the walkway be approved.
Dr. Armstrong suggested that a date be set for laying the
cornerstone for the Getchell Library building at a time
when the Board would be in Reno for a meeting, sometime in
September. It was agreed that the President contact the
Masonic Lodge to determine if the cornerstone could be laid
on Sunday, September 10. If so, the meeting of the Board
of Regents would be set for Saturday, September 9, 1961.
16. Budget Reorganization
Dr. Armstrong asked Mr. Humphrey to discuss his proposal.
Prior to the meeting Mr. Humphrey had mailed each Regent a
copy of "Proposed Reorganization of the Accounting System,
University of Nevada, Effective July 1, 1961". Dr.
Armstrong had gone over the proposal with Mr. Humphrey
prior to the meeting.
Mr. Humphrey explained that the proposal is based on the
concept of fund accounting. He noted that Funds 1, 2 and 3
are true funds, but that Funds 11 through 91 are fund groups
with as many as 27 funds in one group. In discussing Fund 1
he called attention to the policy previously adopted by the
Board of Regents, that all monies appropriated by the State
for general operation of the University shall be kept in the
State Treasury and that other Fund 1 revenues would be
transferred to the State Treasury for expenditure.
He pointed out that the provision, "It is recognized that
State Executive and legislative Budget Officials and the
Legislature should be provided with adequate information
concerning non-budgeted funds to better understand the
budget funds" is a significant departure from the previous
method of operation.
He discussed the provision, "Transfers of Money from one
fund to another shall be subject to the approval of the
Board of Regents and recorded in the minutes of the Board
of Regents". He also discussed the proposed procedure
which will replace the presentation of monthly list of
claims to the Regents for approval - "A check register
shall be prepared daily prior to validation of the check
by application of the approved signature. The check
register shall be pre-audited by either the Business Mana-
ger or the Chief Accountant and checks shall not be issued
until one of these Officers has signed the check register."
"Check registers shall be submitted to the Board of Regents
for final approval. Registers which will be considered at
a meeting of the Board of Regents shall be available for
inspection at least one day prior to the meeting. Approval
of the check register shall replace the present method of
approving Board of Regents' checks by number."
University Bank Accounts effective July 1, 1961 will be as
follows and bank signature cards were prepared for signature
accordingly:
UNIVERSITY BANK ACCOUNTS EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 1961
Board of Regents (1) Fund #1 for deposit First National

President Armstrong explained Fund 13 and 13 Alternate. He
stated that although he recommended Fund 13 as the ultimate
goal, he recommended the alternate method for immediate a-
doption. The consensus of the Board was favorable to Fund
13 Alternate.
The distribution of 100 percent of research overhead pay-
ments in both Fund 13 Alternate and Fund 14 was discussed
at length. President Armstrong recommended the distribution
of the entire overhead payment to the overhead accounts
rather than distributing 25 percent of the payment to Fund
1, as has been done in the past. He also recommended that
all appropriate charges against the overhead accounts for
indirect costs of research projects, where determinable,
be made on an individual basis. It was agreed that the
President's recommendation would be followed.
The Regents discussed the need for increase in amount of
bond for employees of the Business Office under the present
financial structure, in view of the fact that greater re-
sponsibility will rest on the Business Manager and the
Chief Accountant.
Motion by Mr. Crumley, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that Mr. Humphrey and Mr.
Hattori be bonded for $100,000 each, that other employees
specified by Mr. Humphrey be bonded for $10,000 each, and
that all be covered by one bond.
The State law concerning collateral for bank deposits was
discussed. Mr. Humphrey stated that the State Statutes
applied to State monies on deposit with the State Treasurer
and to local governments. The University has, however, at-
tempted to follow the same requirements, i. e., collateral
equal to 110 percent of the average balance. Mr. Humphrey
proposed that a new collateral agreement be entered into
with First National Bank of Nevada, which calls for the
deposit of $175,000 of securities as collateral and the
storage of such securities in a safety deposit box, and
provides that the Business Manager or the Chief Accountant
shall represent the University at any opening of the box.
Mr. Humphrey recommended that the agreement be approved to
replace the present agreement effective July 1, 1961, sub-
ject to review by the President and the Attorney General.
Mr. Humphrey further noted that the First National Bank had
agreed to review the University accounts in October 1961 to
determine the average daily balance. After that review the
amount of collateral pledged and management of the account
should be further discussed with the Board. Dr. Armstrong
recommended approval of plan as outlined by Mr. Humphrey.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the collateral agreement with First
National Bank of Nevada, including entry to the safety
deposit box, be approved.
President Armstrong recommended approval of the "Proposed
Reorganization of the Accounting System" as presented by
Mr. Humphrey and as modified in discussion.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Crumley, carried
unanimously that the "Proposed Reorganization of the
Accounting System, Effective July 1, 1961" be approved,
with certain minor modifications as agreed upon.
17. Desert Research Institute Purchasing
President Armstrong asked Mr. Humphrey to discuss purchas-
ing policy for the Desert Research Institute. It was Mr.
Porter's opinion that the Desert Research Institute is not
required by law to operate through the State Purchasing
Department. Mr. Humphrey recommended that there be no
change in the purchasing policy approved by the Board of
Regents on May 6, 1961, except as it refers to the Desert
Research Institute. In view of Mr. Porter's advice, Mr.
Humphrey recommended that the Regents instruct the Admin-
istration to purchase for the Desert Research Institute
through the Buyer in the Office of the Business Manager.
President Armstrong also so recommended.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Crumley, carried
unanimously that the recommendation be approved, and that
purchases for the Desert Research Institute be made
through the Buyer in the Office of the Business Manager.
18. David Russell Fund
Mr. Humphrey discussed the matter and President Armstrong
recommended that the Board authorize the closing of the two
accounts, David Russell Savings Account and David Russell
Commercial Account in the combined total amount of $863.36,
and that the money be transferred into the David Russell
Endowment Fund.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously that the two David Russell accounts be closed,
that the money be transferred as recommended, and the
necessary signatures by the Chairman of the Board be auth-
orized.
19. Honors Programs
Dr. Armstrong discussed the Honors Programs, representing
the result of work by a University committee over the period
of a year and which has been approved by the University
Faculty by mail vote of 186 to 33. Students who qualify
and who participate will take extra assignments and, if
successful, will be graduated "With Honors" in whatever
field is involved. It is believed that this program will
attract more of the high school graduates with high ability
than before. President Armstrong recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Crumley, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously that the Honors Program, as proposed, be
approved.
20. Leaves of Absence Policy
Questions have been raised concerning the statement in the
Policy on Leaves of Absence and Related Matters, "In cases
of illness or accident among faculty members, leave, if
necessary, shall be granted for thirty working days at full
salary." Dr. Armstrong asked that the wording be modified
to read, "In cases of illness or accident among faculty
members, leave, if necessary, shall be granted up to a
total of thirty working days in any one fiscal year."
The Office of the Attorney General ruled that the action of
the Board of Regents in approving the new Policy on Leaves
of Absence and Related Matters as of May 1, 1961 cannot
become effective until July 1, 1961, the date on which the
legislative act (Chapter 265, 1961 Statutes of Nevada) takes
effect. Dr. Armstrong recommended that the Regents take
action to claify the matter.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the two amendments to the Policy on Leaves
of Absences and Related Matters be approved.

Blue Key proposed to conduct a fund raising campaign to
carry out a project in 1961-62 to have Manzanita Lake
permanently cleaned. The request included authorization
for the Business Office to act as depository for donations.
If contributions should be more than necessary or if the
project should cost less than anticipated, the remaining
funds will be put in a special fund to be used for filling
grass in around the newer buildings and in keeping up the
general appearance of the Campus. President Armstrong
recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the request of Blue Key be granted and

butions.
25. Nevada Society of Professional Engineers Loan Fund
A letter had been received which stated:
"At the present time there is $400 in the University of
Nevada Account #455 as a Scholarship Loan Fund from the
Nevada Society of Professional Engineers .. No allocation
or use has been made of this fund by the University and
consequently no benefit to the students is indicated .. In
view of the above fact, the Board of Directors of the Nevada
Society of Professional Engineers at a meeting held on May
13, 1961 voted to request the Board of Regents of the Uni-
versity of Nevada to return said $400 to the Nevada Society.
The Nevada Society intends to administer this $400, our
additional $850, and any future funds we may raise through
the vehicle of our Society."
President Armstrong recommended approval of the request,
stating that students are not particularly interested in
scholarship loan funds at the present time.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the $400 be returned to the Nevada Society
of Professional Engineers, as requested.
26. Woman's Auxiliary to the Clark County Medical Society
Letter had been received from the Woman's Auxiliary to the
Clark County Medical Society which stated: "This year the
Auxiliary voted to stop awarding scholarships altogether.
We shall have no future scholarship program; although there
is still $375 in our scholarship fund at the University of
Nevada, Southern Branch .. In the future, in place of our
scholarship program, the Auxiliary has voted to give money
directly to the University Nevada, Southern Branch. This
money is to be used by and for the Science Department at
the discretion of Dean Carlson .. Under these circumstances
would it be possible to transfer the money now in our
scholarship fund to the Science Department for its use?"
President Armstrong recommended that the request be granted.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the transfer be made in accord with the
request of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Clark County Medical
Society.
27. State Planning Board
