Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried with-

6. Increase in Board and Room Charges, UNLV
President Zorn requested that a 10% increase in board and
room rates be approved for UNLV, effective July 1, 1969,
making the room charges $308 and board charges of $682
for a total of $990 annually. (A comparison of annual room
and board charges of Western States Universities for 1968-
69 was distributed for information and is filed with the
permanent minutes.)
Mr. John Cevette, CSUN President, spoke in support of the
recommendation, noting that he believed the fee increase
to be justified.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the fee increase be approved as
recommended.
7. Approval of Purchase in Excess of $5000
President Zorn reported that bids had been opened on May 23,
1969 for canned goods and sundry items for use by the Stu-
dent Union Food Service. Complete bids were received from
Interstate Restaurant Supply for $6951.47 and Shetakis
Wholesale for $7262.44. Zellerbach Paper Company bid on
the paper products only. Bids were for approximately 100
items and were not on an "all or none" basis.
President Zorn recommended bids be accepted in the follow-
ing amounts:
Interstate Restaurant Supply $3719.43
Shetakis Wholesalers 1796.08
Zellerbach Paper Company 670.43
Total $6185.94
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the bids be awarded as indicated.
8. Proposed Settlement of Delinquent Bill for Computer Time
President Zorn reviewed the problem concerning the delin-
quent bill for computer time (as detailed in correspondence
identified as Ref. E and filed with permanent minutes).
President Zorn noted that this problem had resulted from a
reliance on a verbal agreement and, subsequently, instruc-
tions have been given which would prevent a recurrence.
President Zorn and Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval
of the course of action agreed to between Chief Deputy
Attorney General Daniel Walsh and Mr. Robert E. Wall, Jr.,
as outlined in Mr. Wall's letter of May 1, 1969 which
stated in part:
I am thus offering to settle the matter for $1000 under
the following stipulations:
1) On receipt of your notice of your agreement to sub-
mit the proposed agreement to the Board of Regents,
and to recommend its approval. I will send you my
check for $500 for a good faith deposit.
2) Within 15 days of receipt of notice of approval of
the settlement by the Board of Regents, I will send
you the remaining $500.
3) In the event of any legal action by you on this
matter, the offer is immediately withdrawn.
4) This offer is good until 15 May 1969.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mrs. Knudtsen, carried
without dissent that the settlement recommended by Mr.
Walsh and endorsed by President Zorn and Chancellor
Humphrey, be approved and the Chief Deputy Attorney Gen-
eral be commended for effecting his favorable settlement.
9. Proposed Affiliation with State and Local Agencies
President Zorn reported that for several months Campus
Administrators have informally discussed potential affili-
ations with agencies located in southern Nevada whose pro-
grams relate directly to UNLV's Special Education program.
Such relationships, he said, would enable cooperative ef-
forts to obtain Federal funding for research, program de-
velopment, and possibly even for construction. Dr. Zorn
noted that preliminary negotiations have included the
Bureau of Mental Retardation, the Division of Mental Hy-
giene, Bureau of Maternal, Child and School Health, Clark
County Association for Retarded Children, Division of Re-
habilitation and the Helen J. Stewart School, Clark County
School District.
President Zorn asked for approval to formally negotiate
with these agencies and to authorize the Attorney General
to define affiliation agreements which could be arranged
with these agencies; agreements would then be submitted
for formal approval by the Regents.
President Miller noted that similar negotiations have been
underway in northern Nevada and suggested that the Board
of Regents also approve formal negotiation by the UNR
Administration. Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the Administration of both Campuses
be authorized to enter into formal negotiations with both
the agencies listed above and any other agencies which
might be appropriate.
10. Establishment of a College of Hotel Administration
President Zorn presented a request from the College of
Business and Economics, endorsed by him and by the UNLV
Faculty Senate, that effective July 1, 1969, the Hotel
Administration program be separated from the College of
Business and Economics and established as a separate
College. Supporting data presented by President Zorn is
identified as Ref. G and is filed with the permanent
minutes.
In response to a question from Mr. Bell, Dr. Zorn noted
that the principal funding for this program comes from
the Nevada Resort Association.
Mrs. Knudtsen asked if it was intended that the College
would have a Dean. Dr. Zorn said he did not believe it
would be necessary to have a Dean at this point. He
added that he believed that UNLV might be getting too
many Deans and a careful look should be taken of the
total academic structure.
Mrs. Knudtsen expressed concern that the stature of the
College of Hotel Administration might be lessened. Mr.
Hug agreed, stating that if the College is headed by a
Dean it might make the College more visible in the educa-
tional world.
Mrs. Knudtsen referred to the policy statement which had
been suggested by Mr. Jacobsen and Dr. White that an
interim period of one month be allowed before the Board
would take action on any new program or Department. How-
ever, it was agreed that in the absence of any opposition
this proposal could be acted upon.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the College of Hotel Administration
be established at UNLV effective July 1, 1969.
11. Designation of the "Al Cahlan Endowment Fund"
Dr. Zorn reported that there is presently $1075 on deposit
in the UNLV Library Gift account which was contributed so
that the interest could be used to purchase volumes in
memory of Mr. Al Cahlan. He noted that Mr. Harold Erickson,
Director of the Library, has recommended that these funds
be transferred into the University of Nevada Endowment
Fund and be formally designated as the Al Cahlan Endowment
Fund.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
12. Increase in Student Insurance Program
President Zorn spoke of the limited health services pro-
vided to UNLV students, noting that this has caused
considerable concern about the scope and coverage of
supplementary accident insurance policy. The present
premium of $3.25 per semester provides only limited bene-
fits. Dr. Zorn noted that negotiations are now underway
for student health and hospitalization and pending the
selection of a final policy recommended that the student
insurance premium fee be increased up to a maximum of
$20 per student (waivable as at present) per semester.
Mr. Hug asked for comments from UNLV students. Mr. John
Cevette said it looked as if this policy could be ob-
tained for about $15 per student per semester. He noted
further that the students endorse the proposal for in-
creased coverage.
Mr. Hug asked if any form of insurance had been selected.
Mr. Cevette noted that they have received only one bid
for $45 per year but that is more than the students wish
to pay.
Dr. Anderson spoke of the number of time foreign students
have been under insured and have had medical problems.
He asked whether or not the Administration should look
into mandatory insurance for foreign students. Dr. White
concurred.
Dr. Anderson suggested that the Administration be requested
to consider further the question of mandatory insurance for
foreign students and bring back a recommendation.
President Miller pointed out that foreign students at UNR
are now required to take the health and accident insurance.
Mr. Bilbray said he was concerned about the "acceptance by
silence" aspect; i. e., if a student did not sign a waiver
card or indicate he did not want the insurance he would be
forced to pay the fee. There was discussion concerning
the student's opportunity to accept the coverage or waive
the coverage. It was finally agreed that the procedure
provided that at some point the student will either pay
the fee or sign a waiver card, thus taking a positive
action.
Mr. Ronzone entered the meeting.
Mr. Jacobsen endorsed the suggestion to make insurance for
foreign students mandatory at UNLV as it is at UNR.
Mr. Hug asked if Dr. Zorn would rather wait before action
was taken on this suggestion. Dr. Zorn said he felt jus-
tified and was satisfied to have it incorporated.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that the UNLV student insurance fee be
increased up to a maximum of $20 per semester with the
premium waivable as at present, and that foreign students
be required to accept the insurance. Motion seconded by
Mr. Bilbray, carried without dissent.
13. Purchase of Land, UNLV
President Zorn recalled that the 1969 Legislature had pro-
vided the sum of $591,000 to the State Planning Board to
enable UNLV to acquire land immediately adjacent to the
Campus. Purchases of two parcels of property have been
authorized, using a total of $564,500. President Zorn
recommended that the remaining funds be used to acquire a
parcel from the Land Foundation of approximately 2 acres.
This is the former Boy Scout property with a valuation of
approximately $26,000.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the above purchase be approved as
recommended.
14. There was a discussion of the Board's earlier action in
requesting the Clark County Commissioners to vacate the
Swenson Lane easement which runs through that area of
the Campus where it is planned that development of the
athletic fields will occur. (See B/R minutes of December
13-14, 1968.) Dr. Baepler noted that no action has been
taken on the University's request.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that a letter be sent by the Chairman on
behalf of the Board of Regents urging action by the Com-
missioners on this request.
15. Bob Davis Scholarship Fund
President Zorn reported that a committee at UNLV has been
gathering information but details for the proposed use of
the funds from this source are not fully developed. He
requested that he be allowed to present his proposal in
July.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the request be approved.
16. Music Department, UNR
President Miller reported briefly on the developments con-
cerning the Marching Band at UNR. He noted that there
would be a Marching Band with 45 members and a Pep Band
with 15 members. He said that it was intended that the
Marching Band would perform at all home football games
and at least one game away.
President Miller stated that he wished to express com-
mendation to Peter Reams for his effective handling of
the matter for the students. He also noted that the
50 cent allocation of ASUN money will continue.
President Miller also indicated that he will bring a
recommendation to the July meeting concerning allocation
of out-of-state fee waivers for music, recalling that
the Board had taken action to allocate 50% of the avail-
able waivers to athletics and 50% to other catagories
without specifying the number available for music.
17. Request to Cancel Student Loan
President Millr reported that Mr. Claude P. Moore borrowed
$500 from the Garvey Rhodes Loan Fund in February, 1959.
Repayment of all but $95 had been made as of November 24,
1965, but no further payment has been received since that
date. Dr. Miller noted that on March 6, 1968, a Debtors
Petition was filed in the Southern Division of the U. S.
District Court for the Northern District of California
and a Discharge of Bankruptcy was filed by the District
Court on December 9, 1968. He recommended that the balance
of Mr. Moore's debt be written off and the hold on his
University record cancelled. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Mr. Bilbray moved that the above recommendation not be
approved, stating that the Board of Regents had an obli-
gation to collect this debt. Motion seconded by Mr.
Jacobsen, carried.
Dr. Anderson suggested this matter be left to the discre-
tion of the President to determine if Mr. Moore is really
unable to pay the debt.
Mr. Bilbray moved to reconsider the above action and sug-
gested that if the President should find that it is a
true case of bankruptcy, then the loan should be cancelled.
Mr. Hug read a letter from Mr. Moore's attorney informing
the Board of the bankruptcy proceedings and requesting
cancellation of the loan and release of Mr. Moore's record.
Motion to reconsider carried with Dr. White opposing.
Dr. Anderson suggested that President Miller be authorized
to look into Mr. Moore's actual status and if it is deter-
mined that he can pay the balance of the loan, his tran-
script should not be released.
Mrs. Knudtsen expressed concern, suggesting that the Board
should not lose its perspective in this matter. Mr. Bell
concurred, pointing out that the man had been judged a
bankrupt and the Board was obliged to accept the Court's
decision.
Mr. Jacobsen expressed concern that cancellation of the
loan would establish an undesirable precedent and moved
that the Board reject the request to cancel Mr. Moore's
debt. Motion seconded by Mr. Seeliger and carried with
the following role call vote:
Yes - Regents Anderson, Bilbray, Grant, Hug,
Jacobsen, Seeliger, White
No - Regents Bell, Knudtsen, Ronzone
Regent Lombardi absent.
18. Transfer of Department of Anatomy
President Miller presented, with his endorsement, a recom-
mendation from Deans Elmore and Smith that the Department
of Anatomy be transferred from the Orvis School of Nursing
to the School of Medical Sciences, effective July 1, 1969.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the transfer be approved as recom-
mended.
19. Waiver of Tuition and Fees for Graduate Assistants
President Miller recommended that Graduate Assistants
who, in order to complete their degree requirements by
September, have to register for credits of thesis in
the Summer Session, be granted a waiver of tuition and
fees for that Summer Session as a condition of employ-
ment during the previous academic year.
In response to a question from Dr. Peltier, Dr. Miller
stated that this fee waiver would be for thesis credit
only.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that this has been the practice
at UNR for several years, with the approval of former
President Armstrong, and is being referred to the Board
at this point to clarify the record.
Mr. Jacobsen asked if it would be desirable to extend this
fee waiver to UNLV. Dr. Baepler suggested UNLV would wish
to look carefully at the matter before recommending its
extension.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved
for UNR, effective immediately, and that UNLV be requested
to consider the desirability of extending the fee waiver
to that Campus.
20. Approval of Purchase in Excess of $5000, UNLV
President Zorn reported that bids were opened on May 26,
1969 for purchase of a nuclear spectrometer, as follows:
Perkin-Elmer Corporation $26,500
Varian Corporation 26,735
President Zorn recommended the bid of Perkin-Elmer Corpora-
tion be accepted in the amount of $26,500. Chancellor
Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
21. Class A Action
President Miller reported the following Class A Action
by the UNR faculty, which amends the University Code,
with his recommendation for approval:
All meetings of the Faculty Senate shall be open to
members of the University community - faculty, staff
and students. However, the Executive Board may re-
strict attendance at any Senate meeting to Senate
members, faculty and invited guests by publishing
such announcement at least one week prior to the
scheduled Senate meeting, and the Senate may at any
time by a majority vote, restrict attendance.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
22. Department of Biochemistry
President Miller presented, with his endorsement, a recom-
mendation that, effective July 1, 1969, the Department of
Biochemistry, Max C. Fleischmann College of Agriculture,
become a joint responsibility of the College of Agriculture
and the College of Arts and Science. Additional justifica-
tion was presented by President Miller (see Ref. L filed
with permanent minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.

24. Equal Opportunity Program/Bob Davis Scholarship Fund
President Miller presented a proposal for the establish-
ment of an Equal Opportunity Program designed to assist
in recruiting into the UNR student body larger numbers of
Nevada students from minority groups. He stated that the
1969-70 goal would be to recruit 20 additional black stu-
dents and 20 additional Indian students and 10 additional
members of other minority groups. This would use a maxi-
mum of $50,000 (scholarships of $1000 each) if the goals
for 1969-70 are realized. Additional supporting material
was presented by President Miller (see Ref. M filed with
permanent minutes).
Dr. Anderson suggested that the entire amount of money
available through the Davis Scholarship Fund not be dedi-
cated for this purpose, noting the need for funds for
retraining women to enter the professional world.
Mr. Jacobsen suggested that consideration be given to pro-
viding funds to students who, because of need to work to
support themselves, cannot maintain the grades to remain
eligible for other scholarships or financial aid.
Mr. Seeliger asked why this proposal was developed for
minority groups alone. President Miller pointed out that
Nevada must do more to recruit Nevada students from these
minority and/or economically disadvantaged groups. He
noted that even if it were not a desirable thing to do,
the University would be required by regulations of Federal
programs to look into this kind of recruiting.
Mr. Grant asked about the provisions of the Davis will.
Mr. Hug read the pertinent section, as follows:
The income from the endowment shall be used to defray
the expense of College educations in whole or in part
of any poor young men or women, preferably Nevada born,
who are selected by the trustees of the University of
Nevada in their sole discretion as the best suited for
College educations and financially unable to defray the
expenses of such education in whole or in part.
Dr. White suggested that some of the Davis money be used
for retraining women. Dr. Anderson concurred and suggest-
ed approval of the philosophy reflected in the proposal
but with modifications as discussed.
President Miller noted that he had been requested to de-
velop a proposal for the distribution of the Davis
Scholarship Funds. He said he welcomed the Regents'
suggestions but would like to see the program as proposed
go forward, pointing out that there would be additional
funds from the Davis Scholarship Fund for the other areas
discussed by the Regents.
Dr. Anderson asked if this matter could be delayed until
next month. President Miller urged that it not be delayed
in that it would cause problems in recruiting next Fall.
Mr. Bilbray said he believed that funds for minority groups
were needed badly and said he considered President Miller's
proposal to be a very good one.
Mr. Hug pointed out that the discussion had involved a num-
ber of areas, noting that President Miller had recommended
the use of the Davis money for scholarships for minority
students while others had talked about devoting only $50,000
to this program and using the balance (estimated at approxi-
mately $26,000) for other scholarships.
Dr. Anderson moved that up to $50,000 of the Davis Scholar-
ship Fund be used as outlined in President Miller's pro-
posal (Ref. M); the remaining $26,000 be used for other
needy students; any unexpended funds (of the $50,000) be
added to the $16,000 and used for additional scholarhsips;
and that it was understood that the minority scholarships
fund would be administered by the Director of the Equal
Opportunity Program and the Office of Admissions and the
remaining funds would be administered by the Scholarship
Committee. Motion seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried with-
out dissent.
25. Report of the Plant and Property Committee Meeting of
June 5, 1969
Mr. Jacobsen reported that the Plant and Property Committee
had met the previous day to review the planning of progress
for the two College of Education buildings. He noted the
presentation by each Campus of the program concepts envi-
sioned; UNR was employing the "mass plan" concept while
UNLV was anticipating a high rise structure.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that the "mass plan" concept recommended
by the UNR College of Education on June 5, 1969, be approved
and that the Plant and Property Committee be authorized to
approve the preliminary plans for this project (anticipating
the plans would be ready for approval prior to the next B/R
meeting). Motion seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried without
dissent.
Mr. Jacobsen noted that the plans for the UNLV College of
Education building were not sufficiently advanced to re-
quire action at this time.
26. Report of the Educational Policies Committee Meeting of
June 5, 1969
Mr. Bell reported that the Educational Policies Committee
had met the previous day to discuss possible coordination
of new academic programs. He presented the following rec-
ommendations of the Committee:
1. The Educational Policies Committee shall meet in
conjunction with each regularly scheduled Board
of Regents meeting at least for the next year
with the ultimate goal that guidelines will be
established which will serve for the development
of the two Campuses and the total University
System. At these meetings the Committee should
concern itself with possible modifications, ex-
pansion and improvement of the policy governing
the development of new academic programs at both
Campuses. Within a reasonable period of time,
hopefully not later than 6 months, Campus officers
and their staffs will be invited to present plans
for the development and future course of their
institution so that the Board of Regents can make
a total assessment of the needs of each Campus in
the area of graduates, professional and under-
graduate programs, their priorities, feasibility
and costs.
2. In reference to Item 26:
The Educational Policies Committee wishes to recom-
mend the policy statement be amended as follows:
When a new program is suggested or the demand for
new fields of endeavor become obvious the Presi-
dent of the University involved should make a Phase
I presentation to the Board. It shall be the policy
of the Board of Regents, that before any new degree
programs may be offered, and before new Colleges,
Schools or Departments can be established, such
proposal must be introduced at one meeting and
voted upon no earlier than the following meeting.
Mr. Bell moved that both recommendations of the Committee
be approved by the Board. Motion seconded by Mr. Jacobsen.
Mrs. Knudtsen suggested that some provision be made for
exception to the policy statement in Recommendation #2.
Mr. Jacobsen disagreed, stating that to make an exception
would defeat the purpose.
Mr. Bell withdrew his motion to allow consideration of
each recommendation separately.
Motion by Mr. Bell, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried with-
out dissent that Recommendation #2 be approved.
Mr. Bell moved that Recommendation #2 be approved. Motion
seconded by Mr. Jacobsen.
Mr. Knudtsen moved to amend the motion to add "except in
extraordinary circumstances."
Mr. Hug asked for comments from the Administration.
President Miller said he could foresee no problem with this
kind of policy nor could he foresee any circumstances which
would require action at a first meeting. President Zorn
and Mr. Warburton agreed.
Mrs. Knudtsen withdrew her motion for amendment. Motion
carried without dissent.
The meeting adjourned for lunch and reconvened at 1:45 P.M.
Mr. Jacobsen was not present for the afternoon session.
27. Atmospherium-Planetarium Estimative Budget, 1968-69
Mr. Warburton recalled that the Max C. Fleischmann Founda-
tion had made an annual grant of $60,000 for the operation
of the Atmospherium-Planetarium. However, he said, the
estimative budget recommended by DRI and appoved by the
Board for the current fiscal year was for $55,000. Mr.
Warburton requested approval of the use of the additional
$5000 for operating expenses.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
28. DRI Indirect Cost Recovery
Mr. Warburton recommended that effective July 1, 1969, the
indirect cost recovery on DRI grants and contracts be al-
located as follows:
(1) 94% of all such recovery to be paid into a fund for
use by DRI for any purpose justifiably chargeable to
such indirect cost funds; and
(2) The remaining 5% of such indirect cost recovery to be
paid into a separate fund for use by principal investi-
gators on contingencies not foreseen in their original
grant requests. The expenditure of these funds will
be by mutual agreement between the principal investi-
gator and the Director of DRI.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval, provided, however,
that the 95% fund be subject to the usual budget review and
approval by the Board of Regents.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
29. Report and Recommendations on Exemptions from Medical
Requirements
Mr. Humphrey recalled that in February, 1969 the Board con-
sidered a request from Mr. Darrell D. Luce that Christian
Science students be exempted from all medical entrance re-
quirements. They instructed the Administration "to make
a study of the present policy as it now exists and consider
the possibility of eliminating the requirement for a small
pox vaccination...and...that a report be brought back to
the Board in June...and the report include the rationale
for excluding part time students from the requirement, and
information concerning whether or not faculty are required
to have a physical examination."
Mr. Humphrey noted that the Presidents had requested that
this item be rescheduled for the July meeting.
Mr. Bilbray pointed out that this was originally scheduled
to coincide with a Las Vegas meeting but agreed that wait-
ing until the September meeting would not be practical.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that this matter be deferred until the
July meeting.
30. Resolution on Loan Agreement
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the following
resolution:
RESOLUTION #69-3
WHEREAS, authorization has previously been granted
for the construction of a Physical Sciences building
on the Campus of the University of Nevada, Reno; and
WHEREAS, a Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963,
Title III loan in the amount of $1,651,000 has been
approved by the U. S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare; and
WHEREAS, this loan money will not be available to the
University until the project is 80% complete;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Neil D. Humphrey,
Chancellor of the University of Nevada System, be and
hereby is authorized to execute an interim construction
loan agreement with First National Bank of Nevada in
the amount of $1.2 million for a period of 6 months
at an annual interest rate of 5 1/4%.
Adopted and approved by the Board of Regents of the
University of Nevada on the 6th day of June, 1969.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mrs. Knudtsen, carried
without dissent that the above resolution be adopted.
31. Approval of Candidates for Degrees

32. 1969-70 Work Program
Chancellor Humphrey presented the Work Program for 1969-70
by reviewing his transmittal letter as follows:
The 1969-70 Work Program for the University of Nevada
System is hereby transmitted to you and recommended
for approval. This Work Program provides for expendi-
tures of $19,938,461 in the coming year, which is an
increase of approximately $3.7 million or 22.8% over
1968-69.
It is significant to note that in addition to provid-
ing a 13.4% increase in the all ranks average salary
for incumbent faculty (from $10,964 currently to $12,430
for 1969-70) and for the salary adjustments for classi-
fied and technical employees as provided by the Legis-
lature, this Work Program also provides for 226 new
positions within the System. UNLV will have 43 new
faculty positions and 53 new support positions. The
total number of positions on that Campus increases by
32.3%. UNR will have 27 new faculty and 44 new sup-
port positions for an increase of 9.4% in total posi-
tions. The balance of new positions occurs in other
units.
Revised enrollment projections are also included in
this document. The projections used when the 1969-71
budget request was submitted to the Governor September
1, 1968, have been revised based upon the latest in-
formation available. It is interesting to note that
the Full Time Equivalent Student projection for UNR
has been increased 120 but the revised estimate of
Adjusted Student Credits remains approximately the
same. At UNLV the expected FTE enrollment is down 200
or 5.8% from the earlier projection; however, the ASC
expected is up 2080 or 1.2% due to a change in the
"mix" or level of students.
The student-faculty ratio at UNR will be 16.8 to 1 and
at UNLV will be 18.0 to 1, or 1.2 students higher. The
ratio of Adjusted Student Credits taught per faculty
member will be 474 at UNR and 492 at UNLV. See page 12
for a comparison of faculty positions in the Work Pro-
gram and the budget request. As can be observed, parity
has not been achieved; however, the solution lies within
the ability of the Presidents to adjust their Work Pro-
gram request.
This Work Program is the final step in a budgeting proc-
ess which started in January, 1968. At that time the
Department Chairmen made their original requests to
the Deans. These requests were reviewed by the Deans
and the Presidents and a request prepared. After re-
viewing the original requests the Chancellor, with the
cooperation and participation of the Advisory Cabinet,
developed certain program budget formulas which were
applied in developing a Chancellor's recommendation
aimed at achieving budget parity for the two Campuses.
This budget was increased slightly by the Board of Re-
gents and a request of $21,866,264 was submitted to
the Governor. After review and action by the Governor
and the Legislature, we are able to develop firm plans
for the use of nearly $19.9 million.
The Chancellor's office has reviewed the Work Program
requests made by the Presidents and these requests were
explained to the Advisory Cabinet. Some of the analysis
(e. g. of instruction and Department research alloca-
tion) is included here. I share with the Presidents
certain reservations concerning their proposals. For
example, the absence of a contingency reserve, the re-
duction in the library book acquisition allocation, and
the severe financial limitations upon physical plant
operations. I do not, however, wish to recommend any
revision in their Work Program requests; consequently,
the Administration proposal is unanimous.
The authorized expenditures for Cooperative Extension
Service exceed that originally authorized by the Legis-
lature by $9332. This increase is attributed to an
increase in county funds. The Chief of the Budget
Division of the Department of Administration has the
authority under the State Budget Act to approve this
change. Upon adoption by the Board of Regents of this
Work Program, this approval will be requested.
The budget request was prepared under the assumption
that UNLV would assume the accounting function for that
Campus on July 1, 1969. Because of the work involved
and the lack of funds to do adequate planning, it will
be necessary for UNR to provide that service during
the 1969-70 fiscal year. UNLV will negotiate with UNR
for the services of the UNR Controller's office during
the 1969-70 fiscal year.
The budget detail for instruction at UNLV is presented
in College Summary only in this document. The UNLV
Administration will present at the July meeting of the
Board of Regents the Departmental breakdown they wish
to follow.
One qualification I do wish to have placed upon this
Work Program is the same as in the years past. I rec-
ommend that in approving this Work Program the Board
specify that all salary savings revert monthly to the
appropriate Contingency Reserve and that the usual
controls over transfers from the Contingency Reserve
continue to be applicable.
Chancellor Humphrey requested comments from Presidents Zorn
and Miller and Acting Director Warburton.
Dr. Zorn pointed out that the first concern in developing
the Work Program had been the protection of salaries of
incumbent faculty. He noted that UNLV had reduced the
number of support positions and transferred the funds to
other areas. They were not able, he said, to improve the
library book fund nor the amount of support available to
physical plant.
President Miller stated that his comments would be much
the same as President Zorn's. He noted that it was a
matter of making a choice as to where the money should go.
Mr. Hug stated that he was concerned over the decision to
cut the Buildings and Grounds support. President Miller
agreed that this was cause for concern, noting that it
would mean fewer repairs and improvements; however, it
is possible that money can be channelled into this area
during the year from the Contingency Reserve when that
reserve is established from salary savings.
Mr. Bilbray asked what the effect would be of a larger
enrollment than that projected. Dr. Zorn said that UNLV
might have to limit enrollment.
Mr. Warburton spoke of the State appropriation for DRI
support. He said that DRI is continuing to fall further
behind in its timetable to have State funds pick up the
salaries of senior scientists, noting that they will be
approximately $71,000 behind in 1969-70 and $117,000 be-
hind in 1970-71. He said, however, they have taken a
tentative step this year by providing partial support
from State funds for their senior scientists.
Chancellor Humphrey pointed out that the amount of money
for DRI support in the Work Program concerns only a por-
tion of the total and the DRI Financial Plan for 1969-70
from non-appropriated sources will be presented to the
Board of Regents in July.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the Work Pro-
gram for 1969-70 as presented, including the recommenda-
tions contained in his letter of transmittal.
Mr. Seeliger pointed out that the University had enjoyed
an especially good legislative year, as indicated by a $20
million Work Program, and moved that the Chancellor be
commended on the effective relations maintained between
his office and the members of the 1969 Legislature. Motion
seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried unanimously.
Mr. Hug agreed that this had been an exceptionally fine
year and the Chancellor had done an excellent job.
Chancellor Humphrey expressed appreciation for the com-
mendation and noted that total cooperation had been re-
ceived from the Regents, the administrative officers,
faculty and students. He noted that he had received a
number of comments from Legislators to the effect that
the University cooperation was very much appreciated.
Dr. Anderson moved that the Board of Regents also formally
and publicly express its appreciation to the Governor and
the members of the Legislature for their very find support
of the University. Motion seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
unanimously.
33. Estimative Budgets
Chancellor Humphrey presented estimative budgets for 1969-70
for programs not supported by State appropriation, noting
that if the money is not generated it will not be spent.
Mr. Humphrey noted that the budgets for Intercollegiate
Athletics and Intercolligate Athletics Scholarship and
Recruiting are based on fee increases not yet approved. He
further noted that the budget for the UNLV Student Union
would be forwarded when ready.
Jim Hardesty, ASUN President, referred to the budget for
the Jot Travis Student Union and asked that no action be
taken on this budget until there was an opportunity for
student government representatives to discuss it further
with the Administration. His concern, he said, dealt with
the fact that the Student Union is owned by the University
and yet is being paid for by the students.
President Miller noted that there had been some discussions
concerning this and efforts are being made to pick up some
of the expenses of the building. However, he said, this
budget covers the activities of the students. Mr. Hardesty
agreed but pointed out that faculty and Administration also
use the building and perhaps should pay a share of the
expense.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that this specific point had
not been discussed with the State Budget Director; however,
the State Budget Director has previously ruled that UN
auxiliary enterprises must fund their own operating ex-
penses.
Chancellor Humphrey and President Miller agreed to with-
draw the budget for Jot Travis Union and reschedule it
for July.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved that the Estimative Budgets be approved
as submitted with the exception of the budgets of Inter-
collegiate Athletics, Intercollegiate Athletics Scholar-
ship and Recruiting, and Jot Travis Union. Motion seconded
by Mr. Seeliger, carried without dissent.
34. Selection Procedures for University Officers
Chancellor Humphrey noted that a proposed revision to the
By-Laws of the Board of Regents was presented at the May
meeting and was referred to the Chancellor's Advisory
Cabinet for further study and proposal of specific wording.
Mr. Humphrey said that the Cabinet had not completed its
review and proposed to bring this item forward in July.
35. Proposed Change in Meeting Dates
Chancellor Humphrey stated that in response to requests
that the Fall meetings be rescheduled so that the November
meeting would coincide with the UNR/UNLV football game to
be played in Reno on November 22, the following proposed
schedule had been developed for the balance of the calendar
year:
Present Schedule Proposed Schedule
UNR 07-11/12-69 No Change
UNLV 09-12/13-69 UNLV 09-05/06-69
UNR 10-10/11-69 UNLV 10-03/04-69
UNLV 11-07/08-69 UNR 11-20/21-69
UNR 12-12/13-69 UNR 12-19/20-69
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above schedule be adopted.
Upon motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, the
following supplemental items were added to the agenda:
36. Approval of Purchase in Excess of $5000, UNR
President Miller reported that bids had been requested for
the printing of a 2-year supply of Final Grade Reports and
Mid-Semester Progress Reports for the two Registrars'
Offices.
UARCO, Inc. $6290.68
Moore Business Forms No bid submitted
Valley Business Forms No bid submitted
President Miller noted that it is intended that this pur-
chase be shared proportionately by the two Campuses
($3329.21 for UNR; $3961.47 for UNLV) and represents a
sizeable savings to each institution when compared to
separate 1-year cost estimates.
President Miller and President Zorn recommended the bid
of UARCO, Inc. in the amount of $6290.68 be accepted.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
37. Property Acquisition, UNR
President Miller requested authorization from the Board of
Regents to purchase 2 residences at 1061 and 1065 Evans
Avenue. This property has been offered for sale by Dr.
Loring Williams and is within the master plan for acquisi-
tion by UNR. Dr. Miller noted that the property had been
appraised by Dale C. Bell, M. A. I., and proposed that the
Administration be authorized to negotiate for and purchase
the property from the UNR Capital Improvement Fee Fund,
provided only that the purchase price does not exceed the
appraised value. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the above purchase be approved.
38. Report of Telephone Poll Re. Award of Construction Contract
Chancellor Humphrey noted that a telephone poll had been
conducted of the Board of Regents on May 26, 1969, with
the following results:
Bids have been received for the construction of the
Interim Office building, UNLV.
Blanchard Construction, Inc. is the low bidder in the
amount of $199,400. This low bid includes all of the
alternatives. The budget for this project is $275,000.
The State Planning Board has agreed to use the dif-
ference between the low bid and the construction
budget to do landscaping and parking, put in a side-
walk on Harmon and add a building fire sprinkling
system and pay for a fire plug near the building.
President Zorn and Chancellor Humphrey recommend
approval.
Your vote is being requested by telephone so that the
bid can be awarded and the construction started im-
mediately.
Fred M. Anderson, M. D. Yes
Mr. Thomas Bell Yes
Mr. James H. Bilbray Yes (May 28, 1969)
Mr. Archie Grant Unable to Contact
Mr. Procter Hug, Jr. Yes
Mr. Harold Jacobsen Yes
Mrs. Molly Knudtsen Yes
Louis Lombardi, M. D. Yes
Mr. Richard Ronzone Yes
Mr. Albert Seeliger Yes
Mrs. Juanita White Yes
He recommended confirmation of the results of the telephone
poll.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the votes recorded by telephone be
confirmed.
39. Unappropriated Surplus, General University Operation
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the problem as follows:
For a number of years, the University of Nevada has
each year expended appropriated monies for General
University Operation before expending the non-appro-
priated monies. The non-appropriated monies are
mostly student fees and this practice gave the Uni-
versity and the State the advantage of a built-in
safeguard against either liberal or conservative
revenue estimating techniques. It also allowed
extra revenue to be gained for the University, as
approved in the legislatively adopted budget, from
the short-term investment of the non-appropriated
monies. Using this technique, any unexpended monies
at the end of a fiscal year reverted to the Univer-
sity's unappropriated surplus account. From this
account came the budgeted opening cash balance for
the next fiscal year and, if necessary, unrealized
budgeted income was compensated for from the unap-
propriated surplus. This allowed for a business-like
operation of the University budget and kept deficits
from occurring. It is further interesting to note
that the independent auditors have recommended that
the unappropriated surplus should be approximately
$500,000 rather than the $232,000 held in this account
June 30, 1968.
During the 1969 Legislative Session, Mr. Robert E.
Bruce, Fiscal Analyst, Legislative Counsel Bureau,
requested an opinion from the Legislative Counsel
concerning the legality of the University's approach.
The Legislative Counsel issued an opinion to the
effect that the University was obligated to spend
non-appropriated monies first and, therefore, any
unexpended budget credits at the end of the fiscal
year, plus any excess non-appropriated revenue,
should revert to the State General Fund rather than
to the University unappropriated surplus account.
I requested the Assembly Ways and Means Committee and
the Senate Finance Committee to insert language in the
General Appropriation Act which would allow our past
practice to continue. Mr. Howard E. Barrett, Director
of Administration, joined me in recommending this
request. After initially agreeing to this course of
action, the money committees decided to not insert
such language and, in effect, require the University
to revert its unappropriated surplus to the State's
General Fund at the end of FY 1968-69, less the amount
included in the approved 1969-71 University budget as
an opening cash balance for each year of the biennium.
This will result in a reversion of approximately
$117,000.
It is very evident to me, based upon my experience in
managing these funds for the University as well as my
earlier experience in the State Budget Office, that
what we have been doing is good business practice for
the University. Further, I believe that what is good
for the University must, in the long-run, be good for
the State. It is conceivable that another attorney
might come to a different conclusion than the Legisla-
tive Counsel; however, it is clear to me that legisla-
tive intent, as expressed by the money committees, is
that the University revert its unappropriated surplus
at the end of FY 1968-69. I recommend, therefore,
that the Board of Regents acquiesce in this procedure
and that we attempt to convince the 1971 Legislature
of the desirability of again using the technique fol-
lowed in the past.
Chancellor Humphrey suggested the problem is now one of
whose money does the University spend first.
Mr. Bilbray asked why the University could not spend the
$117,000, suggesting that it be given to UNLV. Mr. Hum-
phrey explained that the University could expend funds
only within the limits of the authorized expenditure,
and the only way the University could exceed that limit
would be to request and receive the Governor's approval
to increase the authorized expenditure ceiling. He stated
that such a request would result in adverse legislative
reaction, unless it were fully documented as an exceptional
or of an emergency nature.
Mr. Walsh asked if there might be a constitutional problem
in so far as the Board's authority over non-appropriated
money.
Chancellor Humphrey said that in view of discussions with
the Legislative Committees, he would rather have the Board
of Regents Say, "we disagree but we will comply."
Mr. Bilbray suggested the Board of Regents might be guilty
of breach of responsibility if they turned the money back
to the State. Chancellor Humphrey recommended that if this
were the case, the next best action would be to escrow the
money.
Mr. Hug pointed out that the Chancellor had gained the con-
fidence of the Legislature and its committees and was aware
of the feelings of the Legislature in this matter. He
cautioned against taking action contrary to the Legisla-
ture's expressed wishes, suggesting that such action might
cause the University to lose the ground gained during this
session.
Mr. Bilbray stated that he would prefer to go back to the
Governor with a request and worry about the Legislature
next year.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
with Mr. Bilbray opposing, that the Chancellor's recom-
mendation be approved.
40. Institutional Memberships
Mr. Humphrey submitted a list of institutional memberships
held by the University of Nevada System or by one of its
Campuses, noting that it was provided at this time for in-
formation and required no action. He noted that he would
bring back at a subsequent meeting a list of these member-
ships divided between the Campuses.
41. DRI Deficit Accounts
Mr. Humphrey commented on the amount of work which Mr.
Warburton has been doing to straighten out the business
affairs of DRI, noting that he has to date done a particu-
larly fine job of resolving the deficit accounts.
After a thorough review of all such deficit accounts, Mr.
Humphrey stated, it was concluded that 8 accounts, with a
total deficit of $58,568.26 should be called to the atten-
tion of the Board and special arrangements made for repay-
ment. He noted that none of the accounts have revenue
sources sufficient to cover the identified deficits. The
accounts are as follows:
1-33-6000 - General Administration-Water Resources
Cost reimbursement account expended in excess of
contract. $1412.56 not recoverable.
1-33-6032 - Dissolved Constituents Natural Waters
Cost reimbursement account expended in excess of
contract. $1191.69 not recoverable.
2-33-7501 - Red Rock Area
Cost reimbursement account expended in excess of
contract. $454.91 not recoverable.
1-33-7004 - Application of Stimulation Theory
Cost reimbursement account expended in excess of
contract. $2804.01 not recoverable.
1-16-3073 - Software Development
Expenditure for research support not covered by
receipt from indirect cost earnings. $4814.56
not recoverable.
1-20-3035 - Fleischmann-DRI Stead Building and Facilities
Overexpenditure in renovation of Sage building.
$3765.05 not recoverable.
1-20-3050 - Water Resources Small Projects
Laboratory of Industrial Research (formerly
principal support was Sea & Ski Company) ac-
cumulated overexpenditure. This account can
now be operated on a break-even basis.
$34,769.44 not recoverable.
1-41-4069 - DRI Shop Account
Machine Shop expenses originally planned to be
charged to Bureau of Reclamation contract.
Changes on final work program for this contract
precluded these charges. $9356.04 not re-
coverable.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the Board of Regents
direct that:
(1) in closing the FY 1968-69 books, all balances of DRI
accounts, indirect cost accumulation and any discre-
tionary funds, be transferred to cover these deficit
accounts (it is estimated that as much as $25,000
might be available);
(2) the balance of the deficit be repaid during 1969-70
from DRI indirect cost revenue by transfer during
the year as such monies are received; and,
(3) in preparing the DRI Financial Plan for 1969-70 for
presentation to the Board in July, this repayment
be taken into consideration.
Chancellor Humphrey also noted that the reimbursement
cycle of some DRI cost reimbursement accounts is unduly
long and contrary to the best interests of the University.
He recommended that the DRI Administration make every ef-
fort to reduce the reimbursement cycle of such accounts,
securing advances whenever feasible, and that no new ac-
counts with a cost reimbursement cycle in excess of 3
months be accepted without specific authority from the Board
of Regents. He also recommended that the Board direct that
no expenditures be made in anticipation of receipt of a
binding grant or contract unless DRI discretionary monies,
unobligated for any other purpose, are available to fully
cover such expenditures and, further, that such expendi-
tures be reported to the next meeting of the Board of
Regents.
Mr. Seeliger moved that the Chancellor's recommendations be
approved. Motion seconded by Mr. Bilbray.
Mr. Warburton stated that he agreed with most of the Chan-
cellor's recommendations. He noted, however, that the
subject of reimbursement cycle is of great concern point-
ing out that DRI is almost always 1/2 million dollars in
arrears in billing. He requested consideration by the
Regents of a contingency reserve for the Institute. Mr.
Warburton also stated that he was in agreement with the
recommendation that specific authority be requested to ac-
cept grants; however, he expressed concern about the last
recommendation of the Chancellor. He explained the pro-
cedures followed by many agencies; i. e., that verbal
authority would be given to spend money at a certain level.
Chancellor Humphrey said he was concerned about the lack
of a written contract or agreement, cautioning that the
University should not expend money beyond that which is
in reverse to cover that expenditure.
Mr. Warburton stated that DRI has never spent money it
did not have. Chancellor Humphrey stated that if they
had not done so in the past, why should they be concerned
about a recommendation that they not do so in the future.
He further stated that unless a contract is in writing,
the University should not gamble in excess of the "money
in the bank".
Motion carried without dissent.
42. Funding of Recruitment and Screening Committees
Chancellor Humphrey stated that funds should be provided to
pay expenses of the Recruitment and Screening Committees
for the Director of DRI and the Director of the Community
College Division. He recommended that $2500 be made avail-
able to each Committee from the Board of Regents Special
Projects Account.
Motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
43. Approval of Purchase in Excess of $5000, UNR
President Miller reported that the following bids had been
received for the printing of a bulletin on Lincoln County
by the Mackay School of Mines:
A. Carlisle & Co. 2000 copies $9,004.12
Reno Printing 9,146.60
Silver State Press no bid
President Miller recommended that a contract be awarded to
A. Carlisle & Co. in the amount of $9004.12. Chancellor
Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mrs. Knudtsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
Mr. Bilbray asked if it was necessary for the Board to
concern itself with purchases of this amount. Mr. Hug
reviewed the history which had precipitated the adoption
of this policy. Mr. Seeliger noted that this kind of
action does not take much time and does keep the Board
informed.
Meeting adjourned at 3:50 P.M.
06-06-1969
