4. Report of the Plant and Property Committee Meeting of
May 17, 1965
Mr. Jacobsen presented the minutes of the meeting as fol-
lows:
An emergency meeting of the Plant and Property Committee
was held in the President's Office, Reno Campus, on Monday,
May 17, 1965. Present: Regents Anderson, Davis, Jacobsen,
Hug and Lombardi; President Armstrong, Vice President
Humphrey, Mr. James Rogers, Mr. Ed Pine, Mr. Richard Allen
and Mr. James Hancock.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jacobsen at
7:50 P.M.
(1) Mr. Hancock reported to the Committee on his contact
with Mr. Smutzer, the landscape architect who has been
retained to accomplish the master landscape plan for
the Nevada Southern Campus. Mr. Smutzer has suggested
that the University consider proceeding immediately
(without waiting for the completion of the master land-
scape plan) with a tree planting project. He suggests
that trees be selected and areas designated as soon as
possible so that planting can be accomplished in Sep-
tember and October of this year. The Committee agreed
that the Campus would benefit greatly by starting as
soon as possible and tentative plans were made to meet
with Mr. Smutzer while the Regents are in Las Vegas
for Commencement (June 14). In the meantime, Mr.
Hancock was asked to inform Mr. Smutzer of the Com-
mittee's plans and ask him to provide preliminary
plans to the Committee at that time.
(2) Reno City Master Plan - Mr. Jacobsen introduced Mr.
Richard Allen, Director of the Regional Planning Com-
mission. Mr. Allen was present to review with the
Committee the Master Plan for the City of Reno so
that the Regents would have an opportunity to evalu-
ate the effect of any proposed rezoning of land ad-
jacent to or near the Reno Campus or other University
property. There was much general discussion of the
map presented by Mr. Allen and the following action
was taken by the Committee:
a. Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee support
the Regional Planning Commission's proposal to re-
zone an area north of the Reno Campus to Industrial
Estates.
b. Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recom-
mend to the Regional Planning Commission that the
Master Plan for the City of Reno reflect the rec-
ommendations of the Truckee Meadows Road and
Streets Master Plan as it concerns Sierra and
Virginia Streets, that is, that Sierra Street be-
come the expressway with Virginia Street serving
as a feeder or collector street.
c. Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissenting vote that the Committee
recommend to the Regional Planning Commission that
consideration be given to incorporating North
Virginia Street into the University road system as
soon as possible.
d. Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee go on
record as being willing to cooperate with the
Regional Planning Commission in their efforts to
rezone an area, designated as that area from
Virginia to Evans and 9th Streets to the freeway,
south of the Campus, from its present zoning to
modified C-2. (Specific uses requested to be
excluded from this modified C-2 zone are shown
in attachment A.)
e. Concerning the proposed rezoning of an area from
8th Street to 11th Street, between Virginia and
Sierra Streets, motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded
by Mr. Hug, carried without dissenting vote that
the present Master Plan for the University be
followed with the exception of that area south of
the University (covered in item d. above) and
therefore the proposed rezoning be opposed.
f. Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Lombardi,
carried without dissenting vote that the Committee
approve the connection of 17th Street, Sparks, with
Pembrooke (as outlined and recommended by Univer-
sity Engineer's Office) so that the proposed road
to Hidden Valley would be at the south end of
the University Farm.
(3) Proposed Land Exchange, Nevada Southern - Mr. Hancock
presented a map showing proposed trade of 4.33 acres
of land belonging to Mr. Bernard Joseph for 2.85 gross
acres of land belonging to the University located south
of Harmon Avenue and west of right of way for Swenson
Street extended beyond the center of section line.
After discussion by the Committee, President Armstrong
recommended acceptance of the proposed trade.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the proposed trade as
presented by Mr. Hancock be approved.
(4) Mr. Hancock reported on progress of appraisals of land
around the Nevada Southern Campus as requested by the
Board of Regents at its meeting of May 8. It was
agreed that the University could participate in the
cost of these appraisals if necessary.
(5) President Armstrong presented to the Committee a let-
ter received from Mr. R. J. Ronzone concerning a pro-
posed rezoning of land south of the Nevada Southern
University Campus on the corner of Tropicana and Mary-
land Parkway. He expressed concern about its possible
effect on the University's future plans. Mr. Humphrey
explained that in early April the University had been
notified of the proposed change in zoning of the area
immediately south of the Campus fronting Maryland
Parkway. The zoning proposal had been reviewed at
the staff level and no exception taken since the area
was not in the Master Plan and was bounded by C-1
zoning. Mr. Humphrey was asked to communicate with
Mr. Ronzone by telephone to explain the matter.
(6) Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Rogers presented to the Committee
a map showing an area near the NSU Campus on which it
is planned to construct a building which would require
either a zoning change to M-1 or a variance. Mr.
Rogers pointed out that a variance in the existing
zoning regulations will permit them to construct the
building. He recommended that any request for zoning
change to M-1 be opposed but that a request for a
variance not be opposed.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the Board of Regents
oppose any effort to rezone the area to M-1 but to
take no action opposing an effort to obtain a variance
in the present zoning.
(7) A change in zoning is requested for an area east of
Campus, west of the railroad tracks and north of Orr
Ditch. This property is presently zoned R-1 and it is
proposed to change to R-3.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee oppose the
rezoning on the basis that a change in zoning would be
in conflict with the Master Plan for the Reno Campus
as adopted by the Regents.
(8) A change in zoning is proposed for area of 93 feet
frontage at Sierra and Wallner from R-3 to R-5.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissenting vote that the Regents oppose the
rezoning as proposed on the basis that it is not com-
patible with the desire of the University to ultimate-
ly connect Virginia Street with Sierra Street in that
area.
(9) Request from CSNS Regarding Student Union - A letter
from the President of the NSU student body has been
received requesting assistance by the Board of Regents
and the University Administration in acquiring a Stu-
dent Union for that Campus. Mr. Humphrey explained the
methods whereby this type of construction could be
financed by revenue bonds. The Committee agreed that
every assistance should be given the students in this
regard and that the students be asked for assistance
in developing a proposed scope of work for a Union.
President Armstrong recommended that Mr. Humphrey ex-
plore the methods of financing and develop data that
would show what could be expected for various amounts
of money. He further suggested that Dr. Moyer be
asked to appoint a Committee composed of NSU staff,
faculty and students to develop plans and to more
fully determine their needs and desires and reconcile
these with their financial ability.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissenting vote that the President's recommendation
be approved.
(10) Stead Study Committee - The Committee agreed to visit
the Stead Air Force Base on Thursday, June 10, prior
to their Committee meeting scheduled for that day.
President Armstrong agreed to make arrangements for
the visit. Notices will be sent to all members of the
Board approximately two weeks before the visit so that
all who are interested may plan to attend.
The meeting adjourned at 10:10 P.M.

Excerpts -- Board of Regents Minutes
Volume 7, Page 99 (February 14, 1955)
XI. Land - Las Vegas Area - Mr. and Mrs. Howard
R. Wilbourn came into the meeting at 3:25
P.M. Mrs. Wilbourn offered to the Board of
Regents a gift of 60 acres of land as the
site for a branch of the University of Nevada
in Las Vegas, the gift to be made as a memo-
rial to her mother, Mrs. Anita Julia Cornish,
who was an early pioneer of Nevada. In addi-
tion to the gift, Mrs. Wilbourn offered an
option on 20 additional adjoining acres of
land at $35,000.
President Stout recommended that the offer
of 60 acres be accepted with full apprecia-
tion of the gift and of what it means to the
youth of Southern Nevada; and that the option
on additional acres be accepted at $35,000
until June 30, 1956, to see if money can be
raised to purchase it. The President recom-
mended that in the first building construct-
ed on the site, there be a plaque in memory
of Mrs. Wilbourn's mother.
Motion by Mr. Grant, carried unanimously
that the offer of Mrs. Wilbourn be accepted,
both as to gift of land and option on addi-
tional land. Mr. Ross was authorized to sign
the papers on behalf of the Board of Regents.
Regent Grant paid the $1 called for in the
option.
.......................
Motion by Mr. Thompson carried unanimously
that the President write a letter to Mr. and
Mrs. Wilbourn, in care of Ernest Brown, At-
torney, notifying them officially of the
acceptance of their offer.

Dear Mrs. Wilbourn:
At their meeting on February 14, 1955, the Board of
Regents of the University of Nevada accepted your
very generous offer of sixty acres of land in Clark
County, Nevada, described at NE 1/4; S 1/2 of the SE
1/2 of the NE 1/4 of Section 22, Township 21, Range
61 E. The papers for this have been signed and one
copy is in your possession.
The Board of Regents also accepted your offered option
on twenty additional acres adjoining above property
and described as N 1/2 of SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of
Section 22, Township 21S, Range 61 E, Clark County,
Nevada. One dollar in cash was paid to you and the
papers were signed, of which you have one copy.
The members of the Board of Regents asked me to ex-
press to you again their deep appreciation for what
you are doing for the University of Nevada and
through it for the coming generations of this State
and nation. This gift will serve as a living memo-
rial to your thoughtfulness and generosity as long
as there is a University of Nevada.
Very sincerely yours,
/s/ Minard W. Stout
President

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wilbourn:
We are preparing a plaque for the first University

Will you please look at the wording, enclosed, and
let us know if you have any corrections or sugges-

Dear President Stout:
Please excuse my delay in returning the suggested
plaque to you. We have been away a few days on
vacation.
We have carefully considered the wording and believe
one or two changes might be proper. I am enclosing a
sheet showing the wording we prefer. We feel that
our first names should be used in preference to Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Wilbourne, and also the word "tract"
should be omitted. We hope these suggested changes
meet with your approval.
What will be the dimensions of the plaque and I am
hoping it will be a real nice one.
Have plans been made for the dedication of the build-
ing? Many of my family would like to attend and would
like to have as much advance notice as possible to
arrange their affairs so they might attend.
Thank you so much for your help and suggestions. I
would appreciate hearing further from you as to your
conclusions concerning the wording of the plaque.
Very sincerely yours,

Dr. Anderson presented the Committee the following
letter received from Mrs. Wilbourn dated May 27, 1965:
Dr. Fred Anderson
275 Hill Street
Reno, Nevada
Dear Dr. Anderson:
Thank you for your letter of May 14th.
At the time we were negotiating the gift of the 60
acres for the purpose of a University at Las Vegas,
and details being arranged, President Stout made a
voluntary statement to Mr. Wilbourn and myself in
the presence of his Secretary and some of the members
of the Regents and Dean Wm. Wood, that a building
would be named after my mother or me in appreciation
of the "wonderful thing we had done for the Univer-
sity and the residents of Las Vegas". I believe Dr.
Lombardi, Roy Hardy, former Chairman of the Board -
Silas Ross, and others were present. Former Dean
William Wood, during the negotiations for the gift
also stated he felt such action was appropriate and
would be done.
It seems to me such an action on the part of the
University should not be forced but that there should
be a strong feeling and desire by the Regents to see
that this is done. As I stated before my wish is
that the building be named after my mother. I have
no desire for personal prestige in the matter.
Many personal friends and others who are aware of the
gift have questioned me as to why this has not been
done as in their opinion we have done more for the
University than any other person including those for
whom buildings have been named on the Campus.
I am being very frank with you about this situation
as I feel aggrieved by the situation and I believe
you will act in a manner you believe right.
With very best wishes, I am
Sincerely,
/s/ E. M. Wilbourn
Estelle M. Wilbourn
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that further discussion on
this matter be deferred until a later meeting and
those persons present at the time referred to in Mrs.
Wilbourn's letter who are still in the Reno area (i.
e., Dr. Lombardi, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Ross and Miss Terry)
be contacted.
(3) Request for Sewer Easement through Stadium Parking
Lot - Mr. Milton Sharp, Engineer for Truckee Meadows
Engineers, Inc., came into the meeting on behalf of
the City of Reno. He presented the following letter
to the Committee:
June 10, 1965
642 N. Sierra Street
FAirview 2-3872
Board of Regents
University of Nevada
Reno, Nevada
Dear Sir:
This firm is currently retained as consulting engi-
neers by the City of Reno for planning and design of
sanitary sewers in North Reno. Two of the sewers
under considertion are planned to cross through the
University of Nevada. An aerial photo map with the
location of the proposed sewers shown as superim-
posed red lines is being forwarded with this letter.
We hereby request, on behalf of the City of Reno,
that easements providing for construction and main-
tenance of the proposed sewers be granted. We fur-
ther request permission for access to University
property by contractors for the purpose of construct-
ing the proposed sewers.
The proposed sewer adjacent to Manzanita Lake is re-
quired for relief of an overloaded sewer west of
Virginia Street, to provide sewer capacity for your
Dormitory construction and to provide capacity for
future urban growth of the City. The sewer extend-
ing through the old Stadium and along the east side
of the Campus is urgently needed by the City to sup-
port urban growth to the north and to relieve badly
overloaded sewers west of Virginia Street.
We will provide, in construction contracts, for the
restoration of all landscaping, paving or other facil-
ities that might be disturbed during construction.
The contractor's operations can be restricted, within
reasonable limits, to areas which you or the Univer-
sity Engineer may designate.
We will submit plans and specifications to the Univer-
sity Engineer for his comments prior to bidding and
will provide legal descriptions of the required ease-
ments.
It is the intention of the City of Reno to complete
construction of these sewers within the immediate
future. We intend to have construction of that
portion of the line through the new parking lot com-
pleted prior to start of your paving construction.
In order to accomplish this and because of the ur-
gency of the City's need for added sewer capacity
for the rapidly urbanizing area north of the Campus,
we hope that you will be able to act on this request
at your meeting of June 10, 1965.
Yours truly,
Truckee Meadows Engineers, Inc.
/s/ Milton L. Sharp
Registered Engineer
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that the easement be granted
as requested and the access to University property
during construction be permitted subject to further
University staff review.
(4) Presentation of Plans for Stadium Parking Lot - Mr.
Webb Brown came into the meeting to present the plans
for the Stadium Parking Lot. The improvements have
been designed although no funds are available until
after July 1, 1965. The University Engineer's Office
recommends that the project be bid at the earliest
possible date to insure being completed during the
warm weather. The project is to consist of paving a
portion (if not all) of the large parking area south
of the Stadium and north of the developed Campus.
Mr. Brown presented plans showing the proposed devel-
opment of the Parking Lot, including paving, conduits
for lights and landscaping.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
out dissenting vote that the plans be approved as
outlined, including paving, landscapding and conduits
for lighting, with some investigation made of the
possibility of renting lights through Sierra Pacific
Power Company (see item 6 below).
The Committee adjourned at 10:15 A.M. to tour Stead Air
Force Base.
The Plant and Property Committee meeting reconvened at
12:45 P.M. after its tour of Stead Air Force Base.
(5) Discussion resumed at this point with Dr. Broten and
Mr. Webster Brown again present to discuss the sur-
facing material for the new athletic track. Mr. Brown
discussed the alternative materials for surfacing of
such areas. They are: the "old specification" rub-
ber asphalt material which requires heating to a very
high temperature; the "new specification" or low tem-
perature rubber asphalt; and the "grass tex". Mr.
Brown pointed out that only one University and three
high schools are known to be using a track with the
"new specification" rubber asphalt material and the
contractor will not presently provide more than a
performance bond. Dr. Broten spoke of the Athletic
Department's (and specifically of Mr. Dankworth's as
Track Coach) belief that the new rubber asphalt sur-
face might prove to have great potential, possibly
being more desirable than the grass tex. He agreed
however that proceeding with this type of surfacing
material in the absence of a warranty from the con-
tractor and lacking any replies to inquiries made of
the schools now using the surfacing might very well
prove disastrous. Dr. Broten agreed to contact the
schools now having the low termperature rubber as-
phalt track and report the results to the Committee
at its meeting on June 14.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissenting vote that the Plant and Property
Committee be authorized to act for the Board in the
final decision concerning the surfacing material to
be used for the athletic track.
(6) Stadium Parking Lot - Mr. Brown and Mr. Hancock re-
ported on conversations held with Sierra Pacific Power
Company representatives during the meeting recess con-
cerning their rental arrangements of outdoor lighting.
Mr. Brown explained the various arrangements and the
schedule of rates available.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the Committee recommend to the Board
that the completion of the Stadium Parking Lot be
accomplished in the following order as funds permit:
a. Water lines installed in first are (that area
closest to the developed Campus and described
as accommodating 640 cars).
b. Paving and striping completed in same area.
c. Landscaping completed in same area.
d. Water lines installed in balance of area.
e. Paving and striping and installation of planting
pockets in balance of area.
f. Landscaping of balance of area.
g. Lighting of entire area as required.
(7) Nye Hall, Reno Campus - Construction bids on this
project were opened by the State Planning Board May
26. The construction budget is $1,956,600. Base

$2,516,929. 12 deductive alternatives were included
in the proposal. These alternatives are listed below
in the order in which the Housing and Home Finance
Agency approved. Deductions must be made in the order
listed, except that items C and F cannot both be de-
ducted. The amounts shown are those included in the
lowest base bid of Dixon-Tiberti Construction Co.

by use of any contingency funds remaining in the
project plus other funds made available by the
Board of Regents; and
3. That the Board pledge up to $79,000 (Dixon-Tiberti
bid) for carpet to come from Board of Regents
Special Projects Fund and to be repaid by assess-
ment of a surcharge of $10 per semester and $8
per Summer School session for Nye Hall residents;
and
4. That a separate contract be let for the intercom-
munications system with funding to come from con-
tingency funds as a substantial savings is be-
lieved possible.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the recommendations contained above
be approved by the Committee and in turn recommended
to the Board for approval.
(8) Oddie Boulevard Extension - The University Engineer's
Office reports that the State Highway Department is
currently designing the extension of Oddie Boulevard.
Under consideration is a proposed street located 500
feet west of the Western Pacific Railroad tracks
which would connect Evans Avenue to Oddie Boulevard.
The University Engineer recommends that the State
Highway Department be requested to delete this pro-
posed tie of Evans Avenue extended to Oddie Boulevard.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee approve
the recommendation of the University Engineer and so
recommend to the Board.
(9) Reports Concerning Appearance of University Repre-
sentatives on Zoning Matters
Mr. Hug reported verbally on his attendance at the
Regional Planning Commission on June 1 and Mr. Pine
and Mr. Humphrey reported on their meeting with the
Reno City Council on May 24.
(10) Zoning of Evans Avenue East of Reno Campus - Presi-
dent Armstrong presented the following letter from
Mr. Humphrey:
"On May 17 the Plant and Property Committee, with a
majority of the Board of Regents present, voted to
oppose a change in zoning from R-1 to R-3 for an area
east of the Campus, west of the railroad tracks and
north of the Orr Ditch. A letter of opposition was
presented to the Regional Planning Commission on
May 18.
"The applicant is Mrs. Eleanor Madsen of 1110 Evans
Avenue who wishes to sell her house to the Phi Sigma
Kappa Fraternity. The neighbors on Evans Avenue were
unanimously opposed to the zoning change. The Re-
gional Planning Commission denied the zoning change
and Mr. Madsen has appealed to the Reno City Council.
The appeal will be heard June 28, 1965.
"After the May 18 meeting (about May 20) a delegation
from Phi Sigma Kappa called on Dean of Men Hathhorn
to protest the University action. He contacted me
and I asked him to tell the Fraternity representatives
that the next meeting of the Plant and Property Com-
mittee was June 10 and that a letter of appeal could
be directed to the Committee or, with advance notice,
representatives could appear. On June 9 I received
a letter from Miss Marcia Flanders, the real estate
broker involved in the proposed sale.
"Unless I am instructed to the contrary a letter of
protest will be written to the Reno City Council on
this proposed zoning change."
President Armstrong recommended that the University
maintain its previously stated position of opposition
to this proposed rezoning.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the University reaffirm
its previous stand on this matter and oppose the re-
zoning from R-1 to R-3 of the referenced property.
(11) Anine Bloch Christensen Endowment - President Arm-
strong reviewed for the Committee the terms of an
endowment received by the University and presented
the following letter from Mr. Humphrey:
"The court order authorizing distribution of the
(Anine Bloch Christensen) bequest states that money
can be spent out of the cash residue to 'provide for
a plaque in the Student Union building in memory of
Nels Bloch Christensen and Anine Bloch Christensen
and commemorating the gift and bequest for education-
al purposes'.
"We have held $200 from the final cash distribution
to pay for a plaque. I suggest that a plaque be
purchased and placed in the Student Union building
and that a photograph be arranged with Mrs. Scales,
Mr. Jepson and Mr. Gray participating in 'dedicating'
the plaque. If satisfactory, perhaps the plaque
could read:
In Memory of
Nels Bloch Christensen
and
Anine Bloch Christensen
Residents of Reno
Whose generosity has benefited the
students of the University of Nevada
1965
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
unanimously that the plaque as described above be
purchased and placed as recommended by Mr. Humphrey.
(12) Zoning Change on Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas - An
inquiry concerning this zoning change (from R-1 to
C-1) on Maryland Parkway 150 feet south of the NSU
Campus 850 feet north of Tropicana Boulevard and
directly east of property reserved for a Boy Scouts
of America district office) was made by Mr. Ronzone
in a letter dated May 13 and discussed at the meet-
ing of the Committee on May 17. Subsequent to that
time Mr. Humphrey reports that ... "Mr. Ronzone
checked May 18 and learned that the zoning change
had been approved by the Clark County Planning Com-
mission April 13 and by the Board of County Commis-
sioners May 6. I checked with Robbins Cahill, Clark
County Manager, on May 19 and learned that once the
zoning change is approved it cannot be reversed un-
less at the end of one year the proposed shopping
center has not been constructed. Mr. Ronzone said
that he believed the shopping center was speculative
and perhaps would not be built."
(13) Mr. Rogers reported on an applciation requesting the
Clark County Planning Commission's consideration of a
variance on property located immediately south of the
Nevada Southern University Campus. This variance has
been requested to allow the construction of a theater
and a parking lot. Because the hearing on this appli-
cation was scheduled for June 8, a postponement was
requested, and granted, to afford the Board an op-
portunity to consider the problems which may be cre-
ated if the variance were granted.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recommend
to the Board that the application for variance on the
property described above be opposed.
The meeting adjourned at 2:10 P.M.
Action by the Board:
Item #1 Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone,
carried without dissenting vote that the action of
the Committee become the action of the Board.

1. Report of the National Advisory Board to Desert Research
Institute
The following report from the National Advisory Board
to Desert Research Institute, prepared following its
meeting on May 19 and 20, 1965 on the University of
Nevada Campus, was presented to the Committee:
COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The general findings and recommendations of the Advisory
Board are addressed to the University as well as the
Desert Research Institute, as the two have become in-
extricably combined into one whole.
The Desert Research Institute is the instrument through
which an appropriate, important and fruitful research
program at the University of Nevada is being success-
fully brought into being. The program is important to
the State and the Nation, but it is equally important
to the teaching function of the University. Without
research, teaching becomes outmoded and uninspired.
Research strengthens teaching. Research provides funds
which support outstanding faculty members who want to
and should teach both graduate and undergraduate cours-
es.
Thus, the professional staff of the Desert Research
Institute should, as far as it is practical, have full
faculty status and teach some courses. To the greatest
possible degree, faculty members should participate in
the Desert Research Institute areas of research work.
The document "The Program and Plans of the Desert Re-
search Institute" presents a philosophy and program
with which the Board heartily concurs, and which the
Board strongly endorses. This pioneering program is
uniquely appropriate to the University and the State
of Nevada, and has great national and international
significance for all arid areas. The Desert Research
Institute is emphasizing the fields of Atmospheric
Physics, Hydrology, Desert Biology and Western North
American Studies in the Behavioral Sciences. This
program is sharp enough to lead to a coherent, mean-
ingful and appropriate program of research, and yet
broad enough to allow the exploitation of new oppor-
tunities and discoveries. It avoids going into various
fashionable and extraneous fields. Edited and sharpen-
ed in detail, and either shortened or provided with an
adequate summary, the document could be invaluable in
soliciting private or Government funds.
Moreover, the document is not empty. The Desert Re-
search Institute has made substantial and steady prog-
ress in bringing able men to the University, and in
organizing and pursuing a coherent program of interre-
lated research. The Fleischmann Foundation grant has
been well spent, and it has created something of great
value to Nevada.
While a substantial start has been made, further prog-
ress depends on more money and more outstanding men.
If the Desert Research Institute and the University are
to succeed, sufficient funds must be made available.
these should be sought from individuals, from founda-
tions, and from the Government. Adequate and appro-
priate support to the University from the State of
Nevada is essential for the stability of the program,
and necessary if other money is to be obtained. In
seeking Government support, every effort should be
made to get program and institutional grants which
will afford the flexibility necessary to create the
coherent, productive and meaningful program that the
Desert Research Institute has outlined. Project grants
should of course not be neglected, but some broader
sort of funding, such as that which has been so effec-
tively provided by the Fleischmann Foundation, is nec-
essary for a successful program.
The first and most urgent need of the Desert Research
Institute and the University is more very good people.
These should include both established leaders in re-
search such as Dr. Went, and productive and energetic
young men. The Board urges that the latter be sought,
for example, in Australia, the Scandinavian countries
and Holland as well as in the United States. Qualifi-
cations should not be set too narrowly. The program
outlined is broad enough to accommodate a variety of
talent, and the program cannot all be carried through
at once, so the timing of various parts can be accom-
modated to the availability of talent.
The Desert Research Institute and the University have
great advantages -- excellent climate and geography,
close proximity to the scientific and cultural re-
sources of the Bay Area, and above all, the opportunity
to participate in and advance an attractive and impor-
tant program of research. But other things are needed:
one is adequate salaries; another is a source of funds
which makes it possible to act quickly in offering a
good man a suitable appointment; another is a reasonable
teaching load for those who do teach; another thing is
suitable resources of a number of sorts, including com-
munication. The Campus is an appreciable distance from
the nearest other institutions and far from many with
closely related work. Ample funds must be available
for consultation and communication with colleagues in
other institutions.
The Board feels forced to consider research in relation
to the northern and southern Campuses. The Desert
Research Institute has important legal and operational
responsibilities for serving and stimulating research
on both Campuses. It is very important however, that
the interdisciplinary activities which are being so
successfully established at Reno should not be diluted
or fragmented.
The Board strongly urges that plans provide for more
research on the southern Campus, and for the masters
degree there, but for the present concentrate doctoral
work at the northern Campus. In this country, most
doctoral candidates do their work away from their home
city, and concentrating doctoral work on the northern
Campus cannot be reasonably held to impose a hardship.
The research activities on the two Campuses should
supplement and strengthen one another -- they should
not be completely unrelated. On the other hand, it
would be dangerous to split one project which requires
unity of work and direction between the two Campuses
and seek to administer it from one or the other. A
research project or program on either Campus should
have enough independence to proceed without continual
help from the other Campuses.
The Board is gratified by studies toward improving
mathematics. It is also important to relate mathe-
matics to other research activities. An attractive
action toward this end would be the addition of more
than one able, broad-gauged man to the Computer Center,
preferably with joint appointments in mathematics or
in electrical engineering. These men should not be
merely specialized programmers. They should be stat-
isticians or good applied mathematicians.

It was the consensus of the Committee that the report
was extremely favorable and reflected great credit upon
the University and Desert Research Institute. Profes-
sor Mordy briefly commented on the qualifications of
the members of the Advisory Board, pointing out that
they are probably among the elite of the scientific
world. It was suggested that the contents of the report
of the Advisory Board be made available to the Press so
that the people throughout the State might become better
acquainted with the activities and potential of the
Desert Research Institute.
Motion by Mr. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the Committee receive the report of
the National Advisory Board and recommend its approval
by the Board, and that every effort be made to en-
courage dissemination of the contents of the report
to the general public.
2. Proposed Restriction of Enrollment at Nevada Southern,
Fall of 1965
The following proposal, prepared by the Academic Commit-
tee for Nevada Southern and transmitted by Dean Carlson,
is to ... "limit the number of entering Freshman stu-
dents for the Fall semester 1965-66 to approximately
500. Those who meet the requirements for regular
Freshmen standing will be admitted. Action on students
who would be admissible as unclassified students would
be deferred until August 15, which is the close of ad-
missions for the Fall semester. Unclassified students
who attend the 1965 Summer Session and earn a C or
better average for a minimum of 6 credits would be
admitted, plus any additional unclassified applicants
to bring the total up to the 500 level."
Proposal for Restriction of Entering Freshmen,
Nevada Southern Campus, Fall of 1965
"We believe that staff provided by the 1965-66 budget
will permit us to handle only about 500 Freshman stu-
dents next semester. That is to say, there will be
insufficient sections in certain areas, particular in
the Humanities, Science and Social Science, if more
than approximately 500 Freshmen and unclassified stu-
dents are admitted. Not every student will be able to
take the normal program called for by the curriculum
he has chosen to follow. Of course, the more over the
500 who are admitted, the more students whose programs
will be unsatisfactory. Registration will allocate
spaces in these classes with insufficient sections by
chance so that the hopeful Zoology major with high
potential, for example, may be excluded from his basic
Zoology course by a student whose high school record
and test scores indicate far less prospect of success
in the class.
"We anticipate that we may have as many as 600 who will
wish to enter this Freshman class. About 400 will be
students who meet fully the requirements which are
outlined on pages 25 and 26 of the Catalog of General
Information.
"Another 200 will fall below that standard but be ad-
missible as unclassified students. If these predic-
tions are reasonably accurate, our problem is clear --
about 100 too many Freshmen. Note that transfers and
graduate specials are not problems since the classes
we expect to be in short supply are, in the main, cours-
es taken by, and some of which are required of, Fresh-
men.
"We therefore recommend consideration of the following
temporary plan to meet this emergency:
"1. All students who meet admission requirements for
regular status will be admitted.
"2. Unclassified applicants will be admitted who have
attended the 1965 summer Session and earned a C
or better average for a minimum of 6 credits, and
preferably in courses that will be in the greatest
demand in the Fall.
"3. Additional unclassified applicants may be admitted
on August 15 selected on the basis of high school
grades and/or ACT scores. The number to be so
admitted will be governed by the difference between
the number expected to attend (on the basis of #1
and #2 described above) and the 500 leavel. If
possible, such admission of the best unclassified
students will be attempted at an earlier date.
"4. Admission of other applicants who would be admis-
sable as unclassified students would be deferred
for consideration for entrance at the Spring
semester when enrollment may be expected to de-
crease slightly. They should be encouraged to
remove their deficiencies by registering as spe-
cial students for available classes, correspondence
or available extension courses.
"5. Rigidly enforce the deadline of August 15 for
application for admission by students entering
College for the first time. Otherwise, the de-
cision referred to in paragraph 3 would be unduly
prolonged and work a hardship on the applicants.
"6. Every effort should be made to inform every poten-
tial student of this decision as quickly as it is
made.
"We recognize the lateness of the hour at which this is
proposed. It must be understood that it was not pos-
sible to know the extent of the problem until we had
a clear picture of the result of the budget cuts on our
staff.
"We believe that the suggested measures will enable us
to provide the best potential with the most we can
offer. We feel that our educational program will pro-
duce the maximum result through the selection process
we propose."
The proposal was reviewed, at President Armstrong's re-
quest, by Mr. Humphrey, Dr. Shirley, Dr. Palola and
the following recommendation submitted:
"If the enrollment limitation suggested by Dean Carlson
for Freshman and unclassified students is necessary, the
recommendation for accomplishing this seems satisfacto-
ry. However, the proposed enrollment restriction does
not seem justified in view of the following.
"According to the space utilization study, general
classroom space does exist on the Nevada Southern Cam-
pus. Although the number of sections being taught as
compared to the number of room periods available is at
the 90th percentile nationally, the number of students
per section is at the 10th percentile nationally. This
suggests that additional students could be accommodated
in the existing classrooms. Also, space provided by
the new Social Science building was not included in the
recent space utilization study.
"Even though more room is available in the general
classrooms, critical space limitations exist for teach-
ing laboratories. This is especially true for the
Science-Technology building. These laboratories are
operating at 98% of capacity when in use. This average
hours used per week is 14 which implies that the space
limitation in teaching laboratories could be resolved,
in part, by scheduling more sections per week. (Skid-
more, Owings and Merrill space standards specify 20
hours per week at 80% capacity for teaching laborato-
ries.)
"One of the main reasons given by Dean Carlson for
restricting the unclassified group was that it would
keep that group from taking up classroom space needed
by the regular Freshmen. In reviewing the 1965 Fall
Semester Class Schedule, for Las Vegas, it is noted
that the students will register in the following order:
Graduates, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen from 8:00
A.M. to 2:30 P.M. with the Unclassified, Specials and
Auditors from 3:00 to 7:30 P.M. This order of regis-
tration provides for the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior,
Senior, and Graduate classifications to register
BEFORE the Unclassified and Special groups, thereby
giving them first choice of existing classes. The fact
that these groups may find numerous sections closed
would not keep them from enrolling in those classes
which were available. It should not be too difficult
to absorb another 100 students in the total curriculum
as the maximum registration load for these two partic-
ular groups is less than those for the regular Freshman
student; i. e., unclassified -- 12 to 13 credits; spe-
cials -- 6 credits.
"On the basis of the above information it is recommend-
ed that no enrollment limitation be established on the
Nevada Southern Campus. Further, since the University
has no general policy limiting class size, it is sug-
gested that arbitrary class size limits should not be
set without the approval of the Chancellor at the
Nevada Southern Campus."
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recommend
to the Board that Freshman enrollment at Nevada Southern
for the Fall of 1965 NOT be restricted.
3. Study of Limitation of Enrollments of Out-of-State
Students for Reno Campus, Fall of 1965
The following report, recently prepared by Dr. Palola,
was presented to the Committee as part of the study of
the possibility of limiting enrollments of out-of-state
students for the Reno Campus.
"The data in the accompanying table show the percentage
of admissions who actually registered for the 3 pre-
ceding Fall semesters, by residence and by Campus.
These data were obtained from the Summary of Admissions
prepared in the Admissions and Registrar's Office.
"From these data it can be concluded that:
"1. For the Reno Campus, approximately 80% of the
resident admissions register, as compared to 64%
of the non-resident admissions who register;
"2. For the Nevada Southern Campus, approximately 88%
of the resident admissions register as compared to
73% of the non-resident admissions who register;
"3. Therefore, the rate of registration for the Nevada
Southern Campus is somewhat higher for both resi-
dent and non-resident admissions than for the Reno
Campus.
"Since the registration rates are fairly constant over
the 3 years examined, we would be safe in assuming that
approximately the same rates will occur for subsequent
registrations. Data for the 1965 Fall semester have
not been reported because the figures are too small and
not significant at this point.
"The current procedure of providing monthly admissions
reports will give the necessary date to indicate the
trend in the number of new admissions who actually
register. Should it be necessary to restrict enroll-
ment at any given time, a special admissions report
could be run and the percentage applied."
There was much general discussion by the Committee con-
cerning this matter. It was the consensus that should
the percentage of out-of-state enrollment ever exceed
that which is considered desirable, thought must be
given to imposing some limitation on the number of out-
of-state students admitted. However, it was agreed
that much study by the staff would be required as to
the best methods for limiting such enrollment.
Motion by Mr. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that discussion be deferred
until further study has been made.
Regent Davis suggested that a study of the methods
available for limiting enrollment of out-of-state
students be initiated as soon as possible with the
intent of having material available for the Board in
the early Fall.
4. Dr. Anderson reported to the Committee an item of pend-
ing legislation (SB 597) which, if enacted, would pro-
vide to groups like the Washoe Medical Center, St.
Mary's Hospital, University of Nevada, and perhaps
others, matching funds to establish a Regional Medical
Library. Dr. Anderson asked the Committee to recom-
mend that the Board approve in principle an application
for such matching funds in cooperation with suitable
groups should this proposed legislation become effec-
tive.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Magee, carried
unanimously that such a recommendation be made to the
Board.
The meeting adjourned at 3:55 P.M.

Action of the Board:
Item #1 Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
unanimously that the report of the National Adviso-
ry Board to the Desert Research Institute be ac-
cepted.
Upon motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, it was unanimously voted that the follow-
ing statement be released to the Press:
"The importance of the meeting of the National
Advisory Board of the Desert Research Institute
is not confined to Reno but extends to both Cam-
puses of the University. The primary role of the
University is both the advancement and teaching
of knowledge. Thus teaching and research are
completely intertwined. Research results not
passed along to students lose much of their value.
Teaching without research is certain to be anti-
quated and outmoded.
"For these reasons, the Board of Regents attach
great importance to the conclusions of the dis-
tinguished men on the National Advisory Board.
Their recommendations will be given continuing
consideration by the Regents and President Arm-
strong as a part of our effort to build up the
effectiveness and stature of our University.
Obviously, we cannot compete with many other
schools in quantity, but there is no reason for
believing that the quality of our University
cannot complete with the best in the country."
The Regents discussed problems confronting the University
in its search for financial support of its programs. Pres-
ident Armstrong spoke briefly on the long range financial
development plans now being formulated by the Administration
and indicated that he expected to have a proposal ready for
discussion by the Regents at a meeting of the Development
Committee on July 23.
The following statement from Dr. Anderson, as Chairman of
the Board of Regents, was presented as a means of charging
the members of the Board with the responsibility of "meet-
ing existing and future challenges".
"As we settle on our budget for the next two years,
none of us can deny a feeling of frustration because
the last Legislature did not more fully support our
proposed programs, not only in the area of general
teaching support but also in the matter of inadequate
funding for capital construction, and I may add that a
particular example of this is the failure to provide
even the first increment of our Physics and Chemistry
building, a top priority item for both of the past
two Legislatures.
"We are not asking for champagne, we are asking for a
full and needed loaf of bread and we get a load with a
considerable proportion of vitally needed programs
sliced off.
"We cannot be wholly critical of the Legislature for
the sum to be divided was only of a certain size and
had to be divided many ways, and, within the limits
of the money available we were given a fair share.
"But it is not enough; no support of an extension
program, too little support of a vocational techno-
logical program, almost no support for research, not
enough for new and needed staff and equipment.
"And this has been the nearly consistent pattern for
many years past. I think the members of the last
Legislature have seen more clearly than any before
them, that we cannot maintain status quo in major
sources of tax revenues, in the 1% permissible base
for bonded indebtedness in sales tax and other ways
and still meet the responsibilities posed by the chal-
lenges of our rapidly increasing population. But it
will take time for the Legislators and the other people
of Nevada to meet these challenges through legislative
or referendum accomplishment, 2-3 or 4 years or more
even if there is a real effort.
"If we are to meet existing and future challenges in
time we cannot wait several years, we in the University,
the Board of Regents, the Administration, the Deans, the
faculty, the alumni, the students, and all interested
citizens of Nevada, are going to have to take much more
rapid steps.
"In the past our institutions have received their finan-
cial nourishment chiefly through two main sources, the
Legislative appropriations and the generous donations
of the Fleischmann Foundation. While we hope that both
of these will continue I think it high time and appro-
priate that we seek very substantial nourishment from
many other sources. Other Foundations, Government
sources, wealthy private persons or firms, our Alumni,
and all of our Nevadans, Alumni or not, rich or not,
that we can muster to our cause.
"We have never had a sustained program by all those
named above to accomplish a drive for excellence in our
Universities.
"That is what I would like to challenge you Board of
Regent members with, and beyond you all Nevadans.
"With a Chancellor now in each University, with our
President in better position to spearhead such a
drive, with our Director of Development, with our
Alumni and friends already having developed a good
spark of organization and drive in last years cam-
paign for Library Funds, with all of you Regents
vitally interested in increasing accomplishment, I
believe that now is the time to go forward by our own
expanded efforts.
"The improved strength of the undergraduate program is
paramount but we have already demonstrated, as have many
other Universities, that the incrasing strength of the
graduate and research programs has had a remarkably
beneficial effect on the undergraduate program as well.
Distinguished professors, attracted by the prospect of
working in the more advanced graduate and research pro-
grams or by the available research facilities, will also
lend their brilliance to the undergraduate classroom,
our first line of responsibility.
"The areas for improvement are as wide as the University
itself.

Program

Endowed or Supported Distinguished Professor-
ships

Diploma Completion Programs, inadequately funded

search Institute
"And last and just as important as any other items are
additional facilities and equipment in which to accom-
plish all these and to institute new programs to meet
the demanding and changing needs of the world of today.
"Many of these matters have been previous discussed with
some of you Board members and members of the Administra-
tion.
"As your Chairman I would like to challenge you with
attempting this Drive for Excellence and see whether
you agree with me and what you can come up with in the
way of ideas and accomplishments. It's up to you to
pick up the challenge or take the easy way out. Crit-
icism, comments and discussion are requested."
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
unanimously that the foregoing statement of the Chairman
of the Board of Regents be made a part of the minutes.
Item #2 Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, car-
ried unanimously that the recommendation of the
Committee be approved by the Board.
Dr. White stated that she wished to be quoted as
believing that "the foregoing recommendation by
the Academic Committee for Nevada Southern Uni-
versity was prompted by concern over staff load
rather than space requirements."
Item #3 No action by the Board.
Item #4 Motion by Mrs. White, seconded by Mrs. Magee,
carried unanimously that the recommendation of
the Committee be approved by the Board.

10. Policy for Investment of Surplus Operating Capital
President Armstrong presented the following letter from Mr.
Humphrey, with his recommendation for approval of the pro-
posed policy:
"As you know, for the past 4 years we have followed an
aggressive policy of investment in U. S. Treasury Bills
of surplus operating capital. These investments will
earn $101,637.00 during 1964-65 fiscal year ($33,558.27)
to General University Operation, $39,110.60 to Board of
Regents Special Projects Fund, $28,751.17 to various
plant accounts, and $216,87 to NSU Foundation). The
current interest rate on these Bills is 3.80% to 3.96%.
"The Security National Bank of Nevada has offered to pay
interest of 4% on 90 day maturities and 4 1/2% on six
month to one year maturities on time certificates of
deposit. This interest rate is better than Treasury
Bills are currently paying but has the disadvantage of
being less flexible.
"I recommend that the Board of Regents approve the use
of time certificates of deposit, subject to 110% col-
lateral agreements, for investment of surplus operating
capital. This authorization to be in addition to, and
not a substitute for, authorization to purchase U. S.
Treasury Bills."
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the policy as proposed be approved.
11. Post Sale Resolution Concerning Revenue Certificates for

viewed by the University Council and approved by the Aca-
demic Council and was submitted to the Board with President
Armstrong's approval. The proposal contained the following
requirements for the Ph. D. degree in History:
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PH. D. DEGREE IN HISTORY
1. The potential candidate should familiarize himself with
the general Graduate Study requirements outlined in the
University of Nevada catalog. The candidate is respon-
sible for meeting all requirements outlined below.
2. Applicants for candidacy must hold the Master of Arts
degree and must pass the departmental doctoral quali-
fying examination during the first 5 weeks of their
enrollment beyond the Masters degree.
3. The Department Chairman will appoint an adviser who
will assist the candidate in preparing his program

completion of 24 credits he must have secured the
agreement of a member of the Department to supervise
his doctoral dissertation, by which time the candi-
dates's Advisory Committee will have been appointed.
4. A graduate major in the field of History will not be
granted graduate credit for any course taken in his
major field in which the final grade is below "B".
5. Additional written work will be required in each 400-
level course taken for graduate credit in the Depart-
ment of History.
6. All candidates who have not completed a course in

mously that the proposed Ph. D. Degree program in History
be approved.
15. Signature Authority for Business Manager, Nevada Southern
University
The following request from Mr. Humphrey was presented to
the Board with President Armstrong's recommendation for ap-
proval:
"On May 8, 1965 the Board of Regents authorized the
establishment of a $3000 revolving fund at Valley Bank
of Nevada to accommodate emergency purchases. It would
be most convenient if Herman W. Westfall, Business Man-
ager, Nevada Southern University, could be authorized
by the Board of Regents to have signature authority on
this account. Currently signature authority on all
accounts is limited to the Vice President-Finance and
the Chief Accountant, Henry M. Hattori. I suggest
adding Mr. Westfall on this one account only. Effec-
tive July 1, 1965 his bond was increased to $100,000.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that signature authority for Mr. Westfall be
approved as requested.
16. Resolution from Western Snow Conference
President Armstrong read to the Board the following resolu-
tion, passed by the Western Snow Conference at its recent
meeting in Colorado Springs concerning Professor Boardman:
WHEREAS, Professor Horace Prentis Boardman, who passed
away in January, 1965 was an honorary member of the
Western Snow Conference; was a man whose contributions
to the field of water supply forecasting truly laid the
foundation for the acceptance of snow surveying as an
engineering tool; was a man whose work was always mark-
ed by selflessness and encouragement to others; was a
man whose leadership become part of the wealth of each
of his students during his 32 years as Head of the
Civil Engineering Department of the University of
Nevada; was a man whose character enriched the lives
of all who came to know him and was a friend to all,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that those assembled
here at the 1965 meeting of the Western Snow Conference
stand in tribute to his memory and to the values that
he so wonderfully demonstrated in all of his actions
and that this session be dedicated in his honor, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution
be transmitted by the General Chairman of the Western
Snow Conference to members of his family, to the Presi-
dent of the University of Nevada, and to the Governor
of the State of Nevada, so that all may be reminded of
our debt to the accomplishments and the high example
in dedication to worthy principles that marked his
life.

Dr. Broten, Mr. Lawler, Dr. Carrico and Mike Ingersoll,
acting as a committee, containing their recommendations:
The purpose of this letter is to submit to you the
final recommendations of the Committee assigned by
the Board of Regents to explore the most feasible
method of financing the University Marching Band.
The Committee has met several times for discussion
on the matter, and has submitted certain general
recommendations for consideration to the ASUN
Finance Control Board. Agreement has been reached
by the Committee and the ASUN Finance Control Board
with recommendations as follows:
1. The size of the Marching Band shall range, in
the beginning from 60 to 70 pieces.
2. The Marching Band shall play at all home foot-
ball games and in the Homecoming Parade.
3. There shall be a pep band to play at all home
basketball games.
4. There shall be one overnight trip for the band
in the Fall at one of the conference football
games.
5. The Band Director shall submit semester finan-
cial reports of band activities to the ASUN
Finance Control Board.
6. The Marching Band shall receive 50 cents per
ASUN student per semester, and this amount shall
be deducted from the $6 athletic ASUN allotment.
If there is any need for further work or clarifica-
tion on this matter the Committee is most willing
to carry out any additional instructions.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
unanimously that the recommendation of the Committee
on the Marching Band be recommended to the Board for
approval.
2. Foreign Study Program
As requested by the Board at its meeting in May 1964,
Benny Echeverria had prepared and submitted a report
on the feasibility of a foreign study program at the
University of Nevada. The Committee reviewed the report
and discussed its contents with those members of the
staff who were present.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unai-
mously that the Committee accept the report and recom-
mended to the Board its consideration of the following
Conclusions and Recommendations contained in the report.
CONCLUSIONS
The opinion surveys, completed by students and Depart-
ment Chairmen indicated much apparent support for a
foreign study program at the University of Nevada.
Meetings with representatives of the Institute of Euro-
pean Studies and the Experiment in International Living
indicated the willingness of established organizations
to aid the University of Nevada in their efforts to
establish a foreign study program.
The Foreign Student Committee of the Student Affairs
Board has been concerned with basically the foreign
student program, e. g., development of working policies
and procedures. This Foreign Student Committee has not
represented all groups and individuals interested in a
foreign study program wherein Nevada students are sent
abroad. Also, a foreign study program would probably
entail discussion of curriculum adaptations and addi-
tions. Therefore, there would appear to be a need for
a representative committee to do further study and
adoption of a foreign study program for the University
of Nevada. Such a committee, having fulfilled its
organization duties, might well revert to those tasks
of screening applicants and approving foreign study
programs for individual students.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are made to the President
of the University and to the Board of Regents by the
researcher after guidance from interested Department
Chairmen, individual faculty members and staff. The
researcher recommends that:
A. This report be approved by the President of the
Board of Regents.
B. An ad-hoc committee be appointed by the President
of the University to give further study to the
proposed foreign study programs and present pro-
posals to the Curriculum Committee, the Academic
Deans' Committee and other appropriate committees
regarding the foreign study program.
C. The ad-hoc committee be chaired by an individual
such as the Assistant Dean of the College of Arts
and Science or the Chairman of the Foreign Language
Department.
D. The ad-hoc committee for foreign study programs be
allowed to negotiate a program with the Experiment
in International Living, and any other bonafide
group offering a similary attractive program of
foreign study.
E. The Board of Regents consider possible financial
assistance for a foreign study program.
F. The President and the Board of Regents consider the
necessary adjustments in, and possible addition to,
the administrative staff necessary to administer an
approved foreign study program.
The meeting adjourned at 4:30 P.M.
Action of the Board:
Item #1 Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mrs. Magee,
carried unanimously that the recommendations of
the Committee be approved.
Item #2 Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mrs. Magee,
carried unanimously that the recommendations con-
tained in the report be approved by the Board,
subject to further study by the staff.
18. Upon motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, it
was unanimously voted to request Mr. Hug and Mr. Davis to
attend the University Attorney's meeting in New Orleans
on June 23 on behalf of the University.
19. Transfer of Funds
President Armstrong reviewed for the Board conditions under
which the Henry Albert Senior Public Service Award was es-
tablished, noting that the earnings from the endowment were
to go to 4 graduating Seniors in the form of cash prizes.
The price amount was set at $37.50 each because of the an-
ticipated earnings. Over the years, however, the annual
earnings have been considerablfy greater than 4 times that
figure (i. e., $150) and there is now a free balance of
$2815 in the account. Dr. Mc Queen, Scholarship Chairman,
has requested that the prize amounts be increased and that
the free balance be transfered to the endowment account.
Mr. Humphrey has reviewed the request and has recommended,
with President Armstrong's endorsement, the following:
a. Increase the prize amounts to an even $50;
b. Transfer $2600 from 1-51-6003, Henry W. Albert Endowment
Endowment to 1-71-6003, Henry W. Albert Endowment.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
unanimously that the above recommendations be approved.
President Armstrong reported the following transers of less
that $2000 from the Contingency Reserve:
#246 $200 to Publications and News Service In-State
Travel. These funds are needed for the balance of
1964-65.
#252 $125 to Scholarship and Prizes Board to provide

#257 $1290 to Miscellaneous, N. O. C. to provide funds

#265 $1500 to Miscellaneous N. O. C. to provide funds

Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the above fund transfers be approved.

25. Resolution Assigning Stock Power
Upon motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mrs. Magee and
unanimous vote, the following resolution was adopted.
RESOLUTION NO. 65-11
Adopted by the Board of Regents, University of Nevada
at a meeting held June 11, 1965, at Reno, Nevada.
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada owns one (1) share
of common stock in the General Electric Company; and
WHEREAS, this stock was a gift from David K. Hartman,
Adah Drive, R. D. #1, Manilus, New York, for the
Library General Gifts Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the Board of Regents, University of Nevada does
hereby authorize President Charles J. Armstrong to sell
the one (1) share of common stock in the General Elec-
tric Company, to sign the necessary stock power and to
deposit the proceeds of the sale in the Liberty General
Gifts Fund (1-51-4016).
26. University Council Proposal for Group Life Insurance
The University Council, at a meeting on May 13, approved
the following recommendation:
"That the group life insurance plan offered by the
Secruity Benefit Life Insurance Company, or some
similar plan, .... be forwarded to the President and
the Board of Regents with the recommendation that it
be approved for adoption as an option payroll deduc-
tion provision, for all University of Nevada faculty
and staff members who wish to participate."
Mr. Humphrey stated that: (1) the faculty committee and
their insurance advisor, Dean Weems, endorsed the group
plan offered by Security Benefit Life Insurance Company;
(2) the plan will be completely voluntary and may be con-
tinued at the same rates after leaving University of Nevada
employment, including retirement; and (3) there will be no
contribution by the University. Mr. Humphrey further stated
that the only administrative problem would be the mechanics
of withholding the premium from staff who wish to partici-
pate and the payroll office is prepared to do that if the
plan meets with the appproval of the Board of Regents.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
unanimously that the Board approve in principle the request
of the University Council by authorizing Mr. Humphrey's
office to make the necessary deductions, but specified
that the Regents were not endorsing any particular company.
27. The next regular meeting of the Board of Regents will be
June 24, 1965 on the Reno Campus.
The meeting adjourned at 2:30 P.M.
