1. Approval of Minutes of Previous Meeting
Upon motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, the
minutes of the regular meeting of May 8-9, 1970, were ap-
proved as distributed.
2. Supplemental Agenda
Upon motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Dr. White, six
supplemental items were added to the agenda.
3. Interim Rules and Disciplinary Procedures for Members of
the University Community
Mr. Hug opened discussion on the Interim Rules and Disci-
plinary Procedures which he had proposed, touching briefly
on the many problems on University Campuses throughout the
country and on the increasing concern within the State which
had prompted his proposal. He suggested that if steps are
not taken quickly within the University community itself,
the initiative for such action may be taken away from the
University. Mr. Hug stated that he recognized that the
proposed document was not perfect and perhaps needs revi-
sion. He also stated that he recognized that there had
been opposition expressed concerning the procedure of in-
troducing a policy statement for adoption by the Board with-
out prior review by faculty and students; however, he point-
ed out that provision has been made for review and sugges-
tions for revision are invited. He also pointed out that
prior review is desirable in most instances but the Board
of Regents is not prohibited from originating policy and
in fact has a responsibility to do so where appropriate.
Mr. Hug read the following statement on what he considered
to be the duty of the Board of Regents:
In the last analysis, the University of Nevada belongs
not to the faculty within its employment, nor to the
students receiving the benefit of an education within
its gates, but it belongs to the people of the State of
Nevada. It is the people who provide the tax dollars
to build the classrooms and laboratories. It is the
people who pay the salaries of the faculty. It is the
people whose children are being educated by the Uni-
versity.
The people are demanding and the people are entitled
to demand, that the University of Nevada be operated
within certain basic guidelines. They are not asking
a great deal. They are asking that the teachers teach
what they are employed to teach. They are asking that
the students study and learn. They are asking that the
buildings they have provided are not destroyed or de-
faced. They are asking that the rights of the majority
of students who proceed with their education not be
destroyed by the few who believe that their cause is
above the law and justifies violence or disruption.
How is it that we, as Regents, presume to speak for
the people of Nevada? The Constitution of the State
of Nevada provides that the University of Nevada is to
be governed by a Board of Regents who are elected by
the people. It does not provide that the University
is to be governed by the faculty whom it employs nor
the students who attend it, but by a Board which the
people select.
The people are entitled to have their elected Board
establish rules of acceptable conduct for students,
acceptable terms of employment for faculty and pro-
cedures for enforcement of both. The rules and pro-
cedures which I propose today are both fair and reason-
able. I believe they should be enacted. I believe
the faculty and students and alumni should have an
opportunity to submit revisions for our consideration
in the future. But, until the people of the State of
Nevada choose to amend their Constitution to provide
that the faculty or students are to govern the Uni-
versity, the weight of the responsibility is on the
Board of Regents. I intend to perform my duty as a
member of the Board of Regents, as I see it, and I
intend to vote for this Code of Conduct today.
At the conclusion of his statement Mr. Hug recommended that
the Interim Rules be adopted and asked for discussion from
the Board.
Dr. Lombardi moved adoption of the Interim Rules and Dis-
ciplinary Procedures for Members of the University Communi-
ty. Motion seconded by Mr. Jacobsen.
Mr. Seeliger commented on the number of letters received in
support of positive action by the Board and quoted from a
letter from Mr. Lou Bergevin, President of the State Board
of Education, endorsing adoption of the Interim Rules. Mr.
Seeliger expressed his own endorsement and urged adoption
by the Board.
Mrs. Knudtsen reported that she had received a great many
letters expressing concern and urging action by the Board.
She said she believed it important that the University com-
munity recognize that the Board itself is very aware that
the Campuses have been fortunate in the mature and respon-
sible conduct on the part of most of the students and fac-
ulty. She pointed out that this document is not therefore
designed to permit hasty action to correct a situation but
rather to provide guidelines within which to avert serious
problems and to deal with future situations which might
arise. She agreed that if the University does not take
steps to reassure the people, there could be grave problems
with restrictions imposed by the Legislature. She expressed
strong endorsement of the proposal.
Mr. Bilbray stated that it appeared that everyone seemed to
believe the document is a good one, but they believed that
the procedure was wrong. He said he believed that it should
have gone to the faculty for review and proposed changes
before a request for enactment by the Board. He pointed
out, that there is also a very strong pressure that some
positive action by taken by the Board and the University
and stated that he believed it apparent that action could
not be deferred for the length of time required for faculty
and student reaction. He suggested therefore that the
Interim Rules be adopted for the Summer Session only and a
new document be introduced in September.
Dr. Anderson commented on what had been termed a "departure
from established procedent" in the procedure allowed in
proposing the Interim Rules. He stated that the Board has
on a number of occasions proposed and adopted policy and
then, as suggested with the Interim Rules, referred the
matter to the faculty and students for review. He pointed
out that faculty and student participation was invited in
Mr. Hug's original letter of transmittal of the proposed
document and again in Mr. Hug's opening statement. Dr.
Anderson also pointed out that adequate review by the fac-
ulty and student groups could be expected to take a number
of months, particularly in view of their absence from Campus
for the next three months. He expressed concern that the
University not be forced to continue to operate in a void
during this period and strongly supported adoption of the
proposal.
Mr. Bilbray agreed that such a code is required, but sug-
gested again that it be considered in effect only until the
beginning of the Fall semester.
Dr. Anderson pointed out that most faculty and students
would be absent from the Campus during the Summer and thus
the official groups (i. e., Faculty and Student Senates)
would not be available for the review required.
Dr. Lombardi objected to setting a time limit on the faculty
and students. He noted that the proposal provides for stu-
dent and faculty review but suggested that the document be
adopted as an interim policy and review and suggestions by
the faculty and students be allowed to proceed according to
their own timetable.
Mr. Jacobsen recalled that the Board had requested the de-
velopment of such a policy a year ago and nothing had been
submitted. He urged the adoption of this proposal.
Mr. Grant stated that he too had received numerous letters
expressing endorsement of the statement and concern for
the reputation of the University. He recommended the
Interim Rules be adopted without strings except with the
understanding that suggestions for amendments were welcome
from both faculty and students.
Mr. Bell stated that he was not particularly pleased with
the procedure; however, he pointed out that the University
community must recognize that it faces a major problem.
He pointed out that the courts have upheld in many instances
appeals by students on the basis that the rules they are
charged with violating were unclear. Mr. Bell stated that
in order to successfully deal with a disciplinary problem,
the University must have rules which are clear, precise
and understandable. Those currently in effect at the
University of Nevada are vague and indefinite. Mr. Bell
continued by stating that he and others on the Board had
hoped the Administration, faculty and students would have
taken action sooner. He said that he, as a Regent, if the
proposed Interim Rules were adopted, would be willing to
hear any requests for revision or even for complete re-
jection; however, some kind of interim statement on conduct
is necessary to govern the conduct of the University com-
munity. He stated again that he was willing to listen to
any suggestions for changes but cautioned against ignoring
the growing concerns within the State.
Mr. Ronzone spoke of his six years as a member of the Board
and commented on the close working relationship during that
time between the Board and faculty and student groups. How-
ever, he said, it has always been clearly evident that re-
view and action by the Student and Faculty Senates takes a
long time. Therefore, he said, adoption of this proposal
should not be deferred.
Dr. White commented on the need for the adoption of guide-
lines and pointed out that the proposal by Mr. Hug consol-
idates and clarifies current procedures. She noted that it
was drawn in part from the University Code.
Chancellor Humphrey reported that the Chancellor's Advisory
Cabinet, consisting for this purpose of the Presidents,
Directors, Faculty Senate Chairmen and Student Body Presi-
dents, met to discuss this matter. The Cabinet does not
vote; however, clearly the consensus was that it would be
best to postpone adoption of these interim rules and pro-
cedures until October, 1970, by which time the faculty and
student organizations would have acted. Chancellor Humphrey
noted that the Cabinet did not discuss in any detailed way
the provision of the proposed rules and procedures, but did
discuss at length the possibility that the Board might a-
dopt this document without referring it to faculty and stu-
dents for consideration.
Mr. Humphrey stated that he believed that the purpose of the
Chancellor's Advisory Cabinet is to make its advice avail-
able to the Chancellor and, on important issues such as
this, to the Board. He pointed out that members of the
Cabinet were present and could, as always, express their
own individual views. Chancellor Humphrey stated that he
did not concur with this consensus of the Advisory Cabinet
and did not recommend this course of action to the Board.
He noted that he respected the members of this group and
did not, therefore, go against their advice lightly.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that he believed the University
faces a crisis and that recent events have proven that
present rules are not adequate and the enforcement proce-
dures are not operable. He said that he also believed that
the University faces a crisis in public and legislative
acceptance. The University must, he said, retain the in-
itiative to solve University problems. If we procrastinate
and do not meet our obligations, he said he would be con-
cerned that some other groups would solve the University's
problems in a perhaps less acceptable way.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that he was also very much aware
of recently expressed attitudes by members of the Senate
Finance Committee concerning the University's problems and
that he was also sensitive to the fact that the Board re-
quested the Administration last July, and several times
since, to develop a code of conduct -- being especially
conscious of this problem because the proposed Student Bill
of Rights did not provide for responsibilities but rather
for the rights of the students. He noted that the Adminis-
tration had not provided the Board with the advice it had
requested.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the Board adopt the
interim rules and invite faculty and student groups to
present their suggestions for amendments just as soon as
they are ready.
President Zorn opened his comments by noting that the role
of the Campus President involves interpreting the Univer-
sity and its policies to its various publics, including
attitudes and ideas of the faculty and student body to
Regents, and Regents and public concerns to the Campus. He
reported that the proposed interim disciplinary policies
undoubtedly have been the most widely discussed on the UNLV
Campus of any matter during the past year and despite the
end of the academic year complications, there has been much
analysis and a widely articulated reaction. He said that
he would estimate that well over 3/4 of the faculty are
strongly negative, not so much to the substance but rather
feel that the importance warrants initial input of faculty
and student government particpation. President Zorn con-
tinued by saying that there is widespread feeling that the
UNLV Campus has, and can continue to deal responsibly with
potentialities of disruptive activities. There is recog-
nition, he said, that outside influences demand "action
now", but there is also a feeling that faculty and student
governing bodies would give prompt attention to this during
the Summer months. Committee work could proceed during the
Summer and faculty would volunteer their time now that the
Board of Regents has expressed its concern.
President Zorn stated that since no present jeopardy exists,
by virtue of the unique character of Summer School students,
and conceivable since immediate collaboration could demon-
strate tangible development, he urged that a reasonably
brief time be alloted to permit customary interaction of
Campus and Regent in major policy formulation.
President Zorn continued by stating that he wished to em-
phasize that much of the document would be generally accept-
able, but some aspects need attention. He stated that he
believed the success of any policy, the success of any
Campus, vitally depends on mutual understanding and respect
of the various elements of the situation. He suggested
that the Regents could profit by enlisting the good will
and active cooperation of faculty and student government
and their consitituencies, and that if the faculy and stu-
dents were disaffected, the Administration would never have
their support. Dr. Zorn stated that he believed it possible
to accommodate the various views and hoped that the spirit
of unity could be retained in the total University commu-
nity.
President Miller stated that he agreed that the need for a
statement of this sort is clear, noting that he too has
heard from students, faculty and members of the community
on the matter. He reported that there appears to be no
significant opposition to the content of the document or
to the adoption of a set of rules and procedures; however,
he said he believed that referral to the faculty and stu-
dents before adoption would be desirable. He cited the
following advantages to such referral, with a deadline for
response:
(1) Rules would not be imposed but mutually developed
and agreed upon.
(2) Combined effort would show the State that all
areas of University community are concerned and
willing to develop rules and live by them.
(3) Will preserve the well-established procedures in
the University for the development of policy.
President Miller recommended referral of the Interim Rules
to the faculty and students with a deadline for response.
Acting Director Warburton, speaking on behalf of DRI, ex-
pressed concern from faculty viewpoint only, noting that
DRI has no student body. He stated that individually and
collectively they support in general terms that part of
the document which refers to the faculty. They recognize
need for rules and also recognize that the Board of Regents,
Administration, faculty and students must separately and
collectively be involved in solving problems which the Uni-
versity faces. Mr. Warburton stated that the DRI faculty
will apply itself in every way to review of this document
whenever it is referred to them.
Director Donnelly noted that his comments would be based on
his experience in areas other than Nevada, but noted they
were also drawn from his experience with acts of violence
on other Campuses. He said he believed the proposed Interim
Rules to be a fair document and stated clearly. He ques-
tioned whether the procedure would work well for the Commu-
nity College Division but noted that necessary changes to
accommodate that Division could be handled during the review
period. He pointed out, however, that it was important to
recognize that rules will not prevent violence but merely
give the Administration the tools to deal with such a sit-
uation.
Mr. Walsh commented that under present rules, handling of
student disciplinary cases cannot be done effectively.
Present rules and procedures were adopted by the students
and never submitted to the Board of Regents, therefore, are
not legally enforceable.
Dr. John Vergiels, Chairman, UNLV Faculty Senate, reported
that there had not been time for the faculty to meet on this
but that there was a great deal of opposition, not to the
contents of the document, but to the procedure. He said he
believed the issue here is their feeling that the matter
could have been handled differently; if it had, the results
may not have been different, but the faculty feels they
should have been involved. He also stated that the faculty
feels that over the Summer they can get together for the
necessary review. He suggested this was really a matter of
the Board of Regents allowing the faculty and students to
become involved so that the appropriate behavior might be
assured. If the Interim Rules are passed, he said, the
faculty want a time limit so that it would require consider-
ation again in October.
Dr. Edmund Barmettler, UNR Faculty Senate Chairman, stated
that he had polled the UNR Senators and the consensus was
that the faculty needs to be involved and is capable of
acting during the Summer and coming up with a response.
He stated that there is a strong feeling of support of the
document itself; however, the faculty requests setting a
suspense date of October, at which time they will have
submitted a revision to the document.
Dr. John Sharp, DRI Faculty Senate Chairman, noted that the
DRI faculty has not had an opportunity to formally consider
this document; however, people who have commented individ-
ually have mentioned that they find the proposed rules
similar to those under which they are presently working.
There is some feeling, he said, that it would have been
better to go through the procedure of referring this matter
to the faculty before Board of Regents action is taken. Dr.
Sharp endorsed the suggestion that if the Interim Rules are
adopted it be for a specific period and faculty and student
response be required by a specified date.
Mr. Bell suggested that it might be a good idea to have the
document adopted as an interim procedure with a six month
time limit; if faculty and student groups do not react dur-
ing that time, the document would become final.
Miss Del Papa reported that UNR students do not question the
merits of the document. She pointed out that much of the
code already exists in some form in several University pub-
lications. She stated that the Board of Regents has the
respect of the students and community; however, if the code
is adopted without a deadline she feared there would be
trouble.
Mr. Myers, CSUN President, said he agreed with the sugges-
tion of Mr. Bell that a six month time limit be imposed.
He said he believed the students could work during the
Summer to conduct the necessary review.
Discussion from the floor was invited and statements were
made by:
Mr. Frank Fahrenkopf, UNR Alumni Association
A spokesman for the Independent American Party
Professor Herbert Wells, AAUP Las Vegas Chapter
Dr. John Lindberg, AAUP Las Vegas Chapter
Mr. Robert Sparks, Nevada State Elks Association
Dr. E. K. Grotegut, AAUP Reno Chapter
Mr. Bob Mc Laughlin, UNLV alumnus
Mr. Marv Byers, Reno businessman
Dr. Thomas Tucker, UNR faculty member
Mr. Bell moved that the motion be amended to provide that
the Interim Rules be truly considered interim in nature,
that they be in full force and effect until the regular
meeting of the Board of Regents December 11-12, 1970, at
which time they be approved as a permanent statement of
policy either in their present form or in some form as may
be determined by revisions proposed by students, faculty,
Administration or Regents. Motion to amend seconded by
Mr. Jacobsen.
President Miller expressed support of the amendment, stating
he believed it would accomplish the objective of involve-
ment.
Addition statements in support of the amendment were made
from the floor by:
Judy Hanlon, UNLV Graduate Students Association
Janet Travis, UNLV faculty member
Elmer Rusco, AAUP Reno Chapter
Dr. Robert Pearsall, AAUP Las Vegas Chapter
Dr. Robert Boord, former UNLV Faculty Senate Chairman
Motion to amend carried without dissent. Main motion as
amended carried without dissent.
4. Proposed Statement of Policy Concerning Student Publications
Mr. Hug introduced his proposed resolution concerning stu-
dent publications (identified as Ref. L and filed with per-
manent minutes). He commented that concern has been ex-
pressed by members of the Board of Regents that a Univer-
sity cannot avoid being in the position of a publisher in
relation to its student publications. He read the follow-
ing from a publication of the American Bar Association to
illustrate his point:
The regular student Press is often distinguishable
from other publications in that it frequently cannot
be treated as though it were an enterprise financially
and legally separate from the University. Student news-
papers may be supported by compulsory student fees,
other direct or indirect institutional subsidies. They
may be legally integrated with the operation of the
University in a fashion where the University is answer-
able under the law for the actionable statements inju-
rious to others. They may be associated with the
Department of Journalism or other curricular disci-
plines carrying academic recognition and supervision.
In each of these instances and others the integration
of the student Press within the University may make it
appropriate that rules be provided for its fair regu-
lation and protection.
Mr. Hug stated that this is the situation in which the
University of Nevada and the Board finds themselves. The
Board of Regents does not wish to censor or to exercise
editorial control; however, it does ask two things:
(1) That obscenity and vulgarity be kept out of
student publications.
(2) That the student publications abide by the
canons of responsible journalism.
Mr. Seeliger agreed that he and other members of the Board
are concerned about the language which has been appearing
in the two newspapers. He suggested that if this language
were acceptable it would appear in commercial newspapers
which, he pointed out, it does not. This kind of language
would perhaps be appropriate to the "Berkeley Barb", he
said, but its use in the UNR and UNLV student publications
causes severe damage to the Universities' and the students'
images.
Mr. Jacobsen concurred with the concern expressed by Mr.
Hug and Mr. Seeliger. An additional concern, he said, was
the frequency of occasions when one or both of the publica-
tions uses stories which have not been documented and are
often not factual. In spite of this, Mr. Jacobsen said, he
was opposed to this resolution and moved to table action
until October. Motion seconded by Mr. Bilbray.
Dr. Donnelly expressed concern over the resolution, sug-
gesting that it was not necessary in that good guidelines
already exist. He said he questioned the requirement con-
tained in the resolution "that prior to each semester
registration a positive action of the Board of Regents will
be required to assess the full student body fee and allow
allocation of any part of that fee for student publication
for the coming semester; and a positive action of the Board
of Regents will be required to provide office and work space
for such publications upon the Campus." Dr. Donnelly sug-
gested that such action would unnecessarily hamstring the
operation of any publication.
Dr. White reported that she has received continuous com-
plaints from students and parents over having to support
newspapers through their fees when they publish such ob-
jectionable material.
Mr. Seeliger stated that he had no objection to tabling
this matter as long as it was clear that such action did
not imply endorsement of this kind of publication. It was
agreed that no endorsement of this kind was implied by this
action.
Miss Del Papa invited the Board to appoint two of its mem-
bers to sit on the Student Publications Board. Mr. Hug
suggested that this would be inappropriate since it would
place Regents in a position to exercise editorial control
and it was not the intention of the Board to do so.
Dr. Lombardi spoke of an additional concern which the Board
has expressed at various times, that of the possibility of
the Board being sued for libel as the result of some action
on the part of the student publications. Mr. Humphrey noted
that the University is protected by insurance in the event
of such legal action; however, he pointed out that more
important than the insurance protection is that people not
be libeled in the first place.
Motion to table carried.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved that this matter be referred to the
Student Publications Board and they be invited to develop a
statement, to be considered by the Student Affairs Committee
in October and then by the Board of Regents, on how the
student publications shall be operated to conform to the
expressed concerns of the Board of Regents. Motion seconded
by Dr. White, carried without dissent.
Dr. Lombardi moved that "The Interim Rules and Disciplinary
Procedures for Members of the University Community" be pro-
duced in pamphlet form and distributed to all faculty and
students. Motion seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried without
dissent.
5. Report on Revenue Bond Issues
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in May the Board had auth-
orized him to attempt a negotiated sale of revenue bonds for
Physical Science, Phase II, UNR - $1.9 million; College of
Education, UNR - $2 million; and the College of Education,
UNLV - $1.6 million. He introduced Mr. Nick Smith, fiscal
advisor to the University on bond issues, who spoke con-
cerning the continuing adverse conditions of the bond mar-
ket. Mr. Smith advised that the only way to sell bonds now
is to cut maturities and cause flow of additional student
fees through these accounts to provide the required finan-
cial coverage. Chancellor Humphrey reported that the Uni-
versity has been successful in getting commitments for $3
million and an additional $500,000 can probably be placed.
This will, he said, take care of the Education building at
UNLV and one building at UNR. These issues will have to be
for 15 year maturities which would then require pledging of
more of current capital improvement fee revenue than plan-
ned. This in turn would require an increase in revenue at
UNLV and an adjustment at UNR.
President Zorn stated that UNLV is prepared to meet this
requirement by recommending that the waivers of the $42
per semester capital improvement fee be withdrawn from all
students other than those who receive it as a condition of
contract (i. e., professional staff and dependents and
graduate assistants).
President Miller recommended that the revenue bond proceeds
be applied to the Physical Science, Phase II since there is
also Federal funding available for this project, and that $9
of the ASUN fee be pledged to provide the additional cover-
age required for the issue. (Pledging of the $9 does not
mean the expenditure of this amount from ASUN fees.)
Chancellor Humphrey endorsed the Presidents' recommenda-
tions.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendations be approved.
6. Mohave Field Laboratory
Dean Bohmont presented a proposal that the University of
Nevada System, including the Agricultural Experiment Station
as the primary facility manager, be authorized to establish
a new Field Laboratory near the most southern tip of Nevada,
identified as the Fort Mohave area. He noted that the pro-
posal has been under study for over three years and is a
direct result of a request by the Colorado River Commission.
Specifically, the proposal provides that:
(1) The Colorado River Commission be requested to deed
to the Board of Regents 120 acres of a 140 acre
parcel along the Colorado River, with the balance
of 20 acres to be jointly administered with the
Nevada Fish and Game Commission which plans a Fish
Hatchery Development.
(2) Joint planning between UNLV and UNR will coordinate
the use of the 120 acres for research and develop-
ment programs.
(3) A development cost of the property in the amount
of $66,000 as a one time budget item be requested
from the State Legislature on an identified basis
in the 1971-73 biennium.
(4) An annual operating budget item of $25,000 per
year (total biennium request of $50,000) be re-
quested in 1971-73 for the Agricultural Experi-
ment Station to operate the facility for use by
the entire University System.
(5) Annual detailed reports on programs, projects and
use will be made to the Colorado River Commission
and to the Regents of the University.
Detailed proposals for specific programs to be conducted by
UNR and UNLV were transmitted with the agenda (identified
as Ref. V and filed with permanent minutes).
President Zorn and President Miller endorsed this proposal
as a joint undertaking by both Campuses.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended the concept be approved in
principle and that further consideration be given to this
proposal from a budgetary standpoint in July and August
when the total 1971-73 budget is considered.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
7. Greenhouse Industries Demonstration and Training Program
Dean Bohmont reported briefly on the continuing discussions
with the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and representatives
of Greenhouse Industries concerning the feasibility of es-
tablishing a demonstration and training program in Las
Vegas. He noted that the State Employment Security has ex-
pressed interest in participating in such a training program
for the hard-core unemployed and the Greenhouse Industries
may be receptive to providing funds for construction of the
necessary facilities on Las Vegas owned land. Dean Bohmont
stated that he will, at the appropriate time, recommend a
budget for consideration by the Administration, Board of
Regents and 1971 Legislature for operation of the demon-
stration portion as a Statewide public service program.

Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
12. Request for Change in Department Names and Structures
A. President Zorn presented a request from the College of
Science and Mathematics, with his endorsement, that
the Department of Planetary Sciences and Engineering
be named the Department of Engineering, Geography and
Geology.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval, effective
July 1, 1970.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be ap-
proved.
B. President Zorn presented a request from the College of
Business and Economics, with his endorsement, that the
Department of General Business be divided into a Depart-
ment of Marketing and a Department of Finance.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval, effective
July 1, 1970.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be ap-
proved.
13. Approval of Purchase in Excess of $5000
President Zorn recalled that in April the Board approved a
request that a Burrough's E-4394 electronic accounting mach-
ine be leased by the UNLV Business Office at an aggregate
cost of $6600 per year for the equipment plus related soft-
ware and servicing. The lease terms also contained an op-
tion to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease per-
iod for $2293. Dr. Zorn asked that they be allowed to sub-
stitute the Burrough's E-6494 machine at an added rental
cost of $41.96 per month. He noted that this would result
in an aggregate cost of $7142.28 per year (increased from
$6600 per year) and an option to purchase at the end of the
lease period for $2622. The E-4394 machine is not compa-
tible with the UNLV batch terminal system which will connect
with the Sigma 7 computer.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
14. Saga Food Service Contracts
A. Dining Commons
President Zorn recommended that the Saga Food Service
contract for the Campus Dining Commons be renewed at
a 10% increase in total cost for a guaranteed period of
one year. He noted that the renewal provides for 237
feeding days (increased from 226); an increase of 14
cents per day for the per day rate; and a 20 cents per
meal increase for students without a meal ticket. There
will be 11 more days of food service provided; there-
fore, the effective increase of 4.9%. President Zorn
also reviewed the results of their efforts to solicit
bids from other firms. Chancellor Humphrey recommended
approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, car-
ried without dissent that the above recommendation be
approved.
B. Donald C. Moyer Campus Student Union Snack Bar
President Zorn recommended the approval of a contract
with Saga Food Service to assume the operation of the
Student Union Snack Bar for one year, beginning July 1,
1970.
The contract provides that Saga shall:
(1) have the exclusive right to operate the snack bar;
(2) be responsible for all costs of operation;
(3) carry adequate public liability and produce lia-
bility insurance;
(4) purchase the existing inventory of food supplies;
(5) employ such students as it considers necessary;
(6) return to the Board of Regents a rebate of gross
income based on the following schedule:
$0 to $100,000 10%
$100,000 and above 14%
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the contract has been ap-
proved on behalf of the Student Union Board and he recom-
mended approval by the Board of Regents.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
15. Increase in Room and Board Charges
President Zorn recommended that room and board charges at
UNLV be increased by $110 per year, effective Fall, 1970.
It was illustrated from data submitted on 1969-70 room and
board charges at other western Universities that had this
increase been in effect in 1969-70, UNLV would have been in
sixth place among the institutions compared (UNLV and UNR
actually were in 13th place during 1969-70 among the insti-
tutions compared). Student Officers present expressed
agreement with the necessity for the increase. Chancellor
Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the increase be approved as recom-
mended.
16. College of Education Building
President Zorn reported that the final architectural plans
and specifications for the College of Education building
were complete. Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the financing,
budget and space allocation for the project as transmitted
with the agenda (identified as Ref. E and filed with perma-
nent minutes).
Presentation of the final plans was made using a series of
photographic slides. The architect noted that the current
estimate exceeds the budget by approximately $300,000 and
stated that following conferences between his firm, the
University and the State Planning Board, they jointly rec-
ommend the following bidding procedure:
Base bid to cover construction of the entire project
except for the Auditorium building at an estimated
construction cost of $2,620,546. Two deductive and
thirteen additive alternates would be included:
Deductive Alternate A - Exclude air conditioning dis-
tribution system designed by
architects and replace with
standard diffuser system.
Deductive Alternate B - Exclude the interior develop-
ment of the third floor of
area A which is office area
for future staff, reducing
contract by $150,000.
Estimated Cost $2,470,546
Additive Alternates
C - Add Auditorium + 126,000
D - Upgrade quality of plumbing, elec-
trical fittings and fixtures + 16,585
E - Add storage cabinets and counters + 27,500
F - Special building equipment cash
allowance + 34,000
G - Add coat racks and projection screens + 3,930
H - Add paving tile around courtyard and
entrances and in heavy traffic areas + 26,000
I - Room directories + 700
J - Fountains in courtyard + 5,150
Total $2,710,411
Total budget is $2,714,000.
To complete the project, as defined by the College of
Education, will require the following five additive
alternates:
K - Upgrade finish hardware, install
partitions + $ 11,000
L - Art Work + 27,000
M - Landscaping + 45,000
N - Concrete slabs 6", fire lanes + 9,500
O - Reinstall offices in third floor + 150,000
Total $ 242,500
Dr. Zorn stated that much attention has been given to this
project and of concern now is how the bids will come in.
He pointed out that there is no way of testing those re-
sults until the bidding procedure is completed. He also
noted that he, the Chancellor and Mr. Hancock of the State
Planning Board, had discussed this matter at length and
they now agree that the procedure outlined by the architect
is acceptable to all of them and he recommended the Board
approve the architect's plans and specifications and auth-
orize the project to go to bid.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Bell, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
17. Performing Arts Center
President Zorn reported that the bids were opened on May 28,
1970 for construction of the Performing Arts Center, with
all bids substantially in excess of the budget. He ex-
pressed concern that this project be kept alive and is pro-
ceeding. He said he believed the approach should be to
phase the construction; specifically, that the Drama Thea-
tre be fully constructed at an architect's estimated cost
of $1,957,410 and the remaining funds be used to partially
construct the Concert Hall. He recommended the bids be re-
jected, and project redesigned and bid as suggested.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that this was an exceptional pro-
cedure but, all facts considered at this time, seemed to be
a reasonable way to proceed. He added that the current es-
timate for completing the Concert Hall at a later date would
be $531,000. He stated that the State Planning Board Man-
ager also considers this a reasonable way to proceed, based
on a conference call he and Dr. Zorn had with Mr. Hancock.
Mr. Hug pointed out that the costs of this project have
doubled since it was originally proposed. He asked if it
were still considered impractical to build one building
to accommodate both programs.
Dr. Zorn explained the reasons why the two functions are
not considered compatible. Dean Harris agreed, pointing
out that the acoustical requirements are different for each
facility.
Mr. Hug stated that there must be a clear understanding that
by agreeing to phasing of the construction in this manner,
a high priority is in effect being placed on the expenditure
of approximately $500,000 which is not now available.
President Zorn stated that this was recognized but noted
that this action of the Board would not give the project a
place in the present priority list.
Mr. Seeliger asked if this project, when completed, would
serve a large portion of the student population. Dr. Zorn
said it would have many users and would be used extensive-
ly by the community.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the State Planning
Board be requested to reject all bids for the Performing
Arts Center and have the project redesigned for construc-
tion in two phases as described by President Zorn.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
18. Traffic Code
President Miller recommended certain changes to the Traffic
Code as adopted by the Board of Regents June 11, 1965.
Present code with suggested revision was transmitted with
the agenda (identified as Ref. H and filed with permanent
minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the changes as
requested, noting that existing Code will remain in effect
at UNLV until changed by Board of Regents action.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
President Zorn reported that the UNLV Campus Parking Commit-
tee is presently reviewing the Code and it is expected that
a report and recommendation will be forthcoming soon.
19. Request for Adjustment in Board and Room Charges
President Miller reported that he did not wish to recommend
an increase at UNR over the present room and board rates of
$495 per semester. However, he requested that certain ad-
justments be made in 1970-71, as follows:
Full board and room $495 per semester
Room (double occupancy) 238 per semester
Room (single occupancy) 353 per semester
Board (20 meal plan) 257 per semester
Board (14 meal plan - no breakfast) 244 per semester
Board (15 meal plan - no Saturday
or Sunday meal) 217 per semester
All Freshmen will be required to have board and room con-
tracts at $495. Sophomores will be required to have board
and room but may select a meal plan. There will be no re-
quirement for Juniors or Seniors. Preference for rooms
will be given to those selecting a contract including board.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the students have wanted this
kind of flexible program for some time and it should be a
popular move. He recommended approval of the adjustments
as requested.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
20. HHFA Corporate Trust 30 Funds
President Miller requested transfer of the following funds
from the Building Repair Reserve, HHFA Corporate Trust 30
Funds:
$6,433.62 from Equipment Reserve to Account 1-22-6001
for purchase of furniture items for Student Housing.
$13,583.28 from Equipment Reserve to Account 1-22-6005
for purchase of equipment, including a pot washer,
ventilating hoods, grill, coffee urns.
$9,920.26 from Building Reserve to Account 1-22-6005
for remodeling and repairs such as light fixtures,
loading dock and new electric motors.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. White, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
21. Request for Right of Way
President Miller recommended approval of a request by the
City of Reno for a 10' by 40' right of way on the west
boundary of the Main Station Farm to provide for a connec-
tion to the storm drain. The right of way agreement was
prepared by the Attorney General and approved by the Col-
lege of Agriculture.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Dr. White, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation is approved.
22. Disposal of Greenhouse, Newlands Station, Fallon
Mr. Pine reported that the College of Agriculture has re-
quested authority to dispose of a greenhouse at the Newlands
Station, Fallon. The wooden portion of the greenhouse is
12' x 18' and the glass portion is 17' x 24'. This struc-
ture was erected about 1912 and was heated by an oil fur-
nace; however, the furnace has not been operated for the
past 20 years. Mr. Pine noted that the Service to the Blind
section of the State Division of Health, Education, Welfare
and Rehabilitation has expressed interest in the building
and the College of Agriculture has requested authorization
to dispose of the facility through the State Surplus Prop-
erty Section.
President Miller recommended approval. Chancellor Humphrey
concurred.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
23. Progress Report on University Projects
A report from the Director of Physical Plant on the status
of all capital improvement projects under the supervision
of UNR was transmitted with the agenda. A similar report
from the State Planning Board was distributed. Both re-
ports are on file in the Chancellor's Office.
24. Class A Action
President Miller presented, with his recommendation for
approval, the following four proposals by the UNR Faculty
Senate:
(1) Pass-Fail Grading - Under the present grading system
the grades A, B, C be considered satisfactory (S) and
the grades D, F be considered unsatisfactory (U). (Re-
sults of mail ballot: 208 approved, 47 disapproved,
5 abstained.)
(2) The grade Withdrawal Passing (WP) be replaced by with-
drawal (W) and Withdrawal Failure (WF) be replaced by
F. (Results of mail ballot: 233 approved, 23 disap-
proved, 4 abstained.)
(3) Students shall be permitted to drop any course anytime
during the semester before the official final examin-
ation period. However, one week after the midsemester
date the Instructor shall be required to record a W
or F for the student dropping the course.
(Note: Major changes are lengthening the period in
which a student may drop without a grade being record-
ed - from the present 6 weeks to 9 weeks - and elimi-
nation of the present requirement of the Dean's approv-
al for a student who wishes to drop.)
(Results of mail ballot: 199 approved, 55 disapproved,
6 abstained.)
(4) Unsatisfactory progress reports shall be posted by each
Instructor before the midsemester date. Mail notifi-
cation of students who are doing unsatisfactory work
shall be discontinued. (Results of mail ballot: 185
approved, 70 disapproved, 5 abstained.)
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval, effective Fall
semester, 1970.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
25. Proposed Reorganization of College of Business Administra-
tion, UNR
President Miller presented a proposal by the College of
Business Administration for certain organizational realign-
ments within the College (proposal identified as Ref. J
and filed with permanent minutes). Specifically, the Col-
lege proposed that the present five Departments be reduced
to three teaching Departments and the the Bureau of Busi-
ness and Economic Research. Additionally, it proposes the
designation of an Associate Dean of Baccalaureate Studies
and an Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, both reporting
to the Dean as staff positions. President Miller stated
that his recommendation for approval contained the condi-
tion that no additional expenditure of funds will be made
in order to effect this reorganization.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
26. College of Arts and Science
Chairman Hug stated that he had requested preliminary dis-
cussion be held at this meeting concerning the feasibility
of dividing the College of Arts and Science into two or
more Colleges. His purpose, he said, was to request this
matter be given consideration at the Campus level so that
the Administration might return with a recommendation prior
to the selection of a new Dean.
President Miller noted that this has been discussed by the
College for some time. He added that the Committee to
assist in the selection of a Dean has been appointed and
perhaps could have a recommendation at the July meeting.
By consensus this matter was deferred to a later meeting.
27. Revision of Time Payment Policy
President Miller recommended a revision of the present time
payment policy for payment of fees, tuition and board and
room. The present policy provides for 1/3 down, 1/3 in 30
days and the balance in 60 days and requires the signature
of a parent or guardian for the student under 21 years of
age.
President Miller reported that the proposed revision would
allow for two payments: the first upon registration and
the second by Friday of the fifth week of instruction with
a grace period of five working days. The signature of a
parent or guardian would no longer be required and non-
payment of the second installment would result in cancel-
lation of registration.
President Zorn requested that this revision also be approved
for UNLV. Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval for both
Campuses.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the revision to the time payment policy
be approved as recommended.
28. Annexation by City of Reno
Chancellor Humphrey stated that the city limits of Reno
presently include a substantial part of the UNR Campus.
There are, he said, substantial advantages to inclusion of
the total Campus within the City of Reno and no disadvan-
tages have been identified. Mr. Pine distributed maps
showing the parts of the Campus included and excluded from
the City.
President Miller and Chancellor Humphrey recommended that
the University request annexation by the City of Reno of
the balance of the UNR Campus.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
29. Estimated Financial Program, Fiscal Year 1970
Acting Director Warburton recalled that in April the Board
of Regents had instructed that certain steps be taken to
fund the operating deficit of the DRI. It is now possible,
he said, to estimate the year-end deficit at approximately
$130,000. As instructed, $80,000 of DRI unrestricted and
unallocated monies will be used, leaving an unfunding defi-
cit of approximately $50,000. Mr. Warburton requested the
Board to approve the use of up to $50,000 from Board of
Regents Special Projects Fund to fund the remaining deficit.
Mr. Warburton noted that the Yates-Debold Fund will still
have a deficit of $5,100 and is not included in the above
figures. He stated that arrangements have been made by
DRI to sell the film resulting from this project and, if
successful, this deficit will be covered.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that DRI has fully met its obli-
gation to clear the deficit to the extent possible with
its own resources and recommended approval of the expendi-
ture of up to $50,000 from the Board of Regents Special
Projects Fund as requested.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
30. Elko Community College Advisory Board Recommendation
Dr. Donnelly recalled that in April the following resolu-
tion by the Elko Community College Advisory Board was re-
ferred to President Miller and President Zorn for reference
to their Faculty Senates:
The Advisory Board requests that the University of
Nevada System modify its policy concerning admissions
to allow any student graduated from Elko Community
College in an Associate of Arts or Associate of
Science program to be admitted to the University as
a regular student in a baccalaureate level program.
This matter was further discussed at the May meeting at
which time it was agreed that action would be requested at
the June meeting.
President Miller reported that the UNR Faculty Senate had
endorsed the request of the ECC Advisory Board with the
understanding that "transfer credit will be granted only
for those courses which are equivalent to those offered
in baccalaureate programs at the University of Nevada."
President Zorn reported that review of this request had
been handled at UNLV by a committee which had taken action
identical to that reported by UNR.
Dr. Donnelly recommended approval of the Advisory Board re-
quest with the understanding as stated by the UNR Faculty
Senate recommendation. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
31. Advisory Committee for Planning for Community College in
Western Nevada
Dr. Donnelly requested authorization to proceed with the
creation of an advisory committee to assist in the planning
for a Community College in western Nevada. He proposed
that the committee be structured in a similar fashion to
the two existing advisory committees (Elko and Clark Coun-
ties) and that nominations be sought from western Nevada
Legislators and other concerned individuals. He estimated
that appointment of members could occur at the July meeting.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
32. Skill Training Center, Las Vegas
Dr. Donnelly reported as follows on the proposed Skill
Training Center to be established in Las Vegas:
On May 8, 1970, the Nevada Department of Education and
the Department of Employment Security submitted an a-
mended proposal to establish a Manpower Development
Training Skill Training Center in Las Vegas. This pro-
posal calls for a $405,000 expenditure in a two-year
period with $364,500 Federal contribution and $40,500
State matching contribution.
Included in the costs of the proposal is $105,000 for
leasing a warehouse facility at 827 North Main Street
in Las Vegas. Personnel planned in the proposal are a
Director, three Clerks, one Supervisor, one Counselor,
ten Instructors and one Shop Aide.
Four Occupational Cluster programs are planned: Basic
Education and Pre-Vocational Orientation, Clerical and
Office Occupation, Service Occupations such as Cooks,
Waitresses, and Food Checkers, and Mechanical-Electrical
Occupation. Approximately 200 individuals will be
trained in these programs.
MDTA programs are normally operated by Community Col-
leges. The Nevada Department of Education has asked
that the Community College Division operate the Skill
Training Center. There would be no cost to the Divi-
sion except that of processing checks and purchasing
equipment.
Trainees for the programs are selected by the Nevada
Employment Security Department. This pattern is con-
sistent for all MDTA programs.
The warehouse contains approximately 20,000 square
feet and is about six years old. It is a concrete slab
building and has parking for over 100 cars. There are
six offices partitioned in the building. It has rest-
room facilities and adequate space for the program.
Principal costs in remodeling would be in classroom
partitions, heating and air conditioning. It is an
adequate facility.
Dr. Donnelly reported that they have been unofficially noti-
fied that the program has been funded. He stated that he
believes the program is appropriate for the Community Col-
lege Division as a part of its community service function.
He asked that he be authorized to proceed with the opera-
tion of a Skill Training Center but that it be clearly
recognized that it is only a small part of a total Commu-
nity College program.
Assemblyman Dave Branch reported that the people of North
Las Vegas are very interested in the action of the Board
concerning the location of a Skill Training Center in that
they are vitally interested in having the Community College
in North Las Vegas. He asked that action on this matter be
tabled until next month to give North Las Vegas an oppor-
tunity to suggest an alternate location. He noted that
the Advisory Committee has not yet met and perhaps they too
would be interested in proposing an alternate location.
Dr. Donnelly pointed out that the ultimate location of a
Skill Training Center would not necessarily be the location
for a Community College. The facility for the Skill Train-
ing Center will be leased by MDTA. The Community College
Division will only operate the program.
Mr. Bilbray suggested that if the people in North Las Vegas
know what requirements are for the Center, they might be
able to come up with a better location than that presently
under consideration.
Dr. Donnelly noted that he was only requesting authoriza-
tion to proceed, not to select a site for the Community
College.
Chancellor Humphrey asked if it would be feasible to proceed
with all aspects of the Skill Training Center except its
location. Dr. Donnelly agreed that it would.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that Dr. Donnelly be author-
ized to proceed with all aspects of the Training Center ex-
cept for location with further discussion of that to occur
at the July meeting.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the Chancellor's recommendation be
approved.
33. Graduation List, Elko Community College
Dr. Donnelly reported that Elko Community College had held
its first Commencement Exercises on Wednesday, May 27, 1970
and had awarded the following degrees and diplomas:
Associate in Arts
Sheryl Jean Munger
Richard G. Prunty
Frank J. Scott
Associate in Applied Science
Alice Louise Babcock
John F. Barney
Fred Beitia, Jr.
Brigitte Plain
Adult High School Diploma
Venna M. Rothlisberger
Hobart P. Sturm, Jr.
Murray Stevens
34. Capital Improvement Program Request for 1971-73
Chancellor Humphrey submitted for consideration and approval
the 1971-73 University of Nevada System Capital Improvement
Program Request totaling $33,200,000. He noted that the
request represents $18,190,000 for the University of Nevada,
Las Vegas; $11,770,000 for the University of Nevada, Reno;
$3,000,000 for the Community College Division and $240,000
for the University of Nevada System. Of the $33,200,000
requested, $25,361,000 would be provided by State appropri-
ation and/or General Obligation Bonds and $7,839,000 would
be provided by University Revenue Bonds, cash on hand and
other sources.
Chancellor Humphrey also noted that included in the
$33,200,000 requested in the Capital Improvement Program
is a list of University of Nevada, Reno projects totaling
$2,264,000. He recommended that these projects be funded
from the University of Nevada, Reno Capital Improvement
Fee account or other non-appropriated sources, as funds
become available. State appropriations are not requested
for these projects.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that the University of Nevada
System's commitment to present the 1971-73 Capital Improve-
ment Program request to the State Planning Board at its
June 13, 1970 meeting had necessitated the production of
the document as an interim device. He noted that the
request will be presented to the Nevada State Legislature
in January, 1971 and considerable detail and editorial
revision will be added to this document before that date;
however, the priorities and dollar requests will remain
intact. Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the
document as presented.
President Zorn commented on the UNLV Capital Improvement
Program for 1971-81, reflected on Page 10 of the document.
Of these items, eight are included in the 1971-73 request:
(1) Land Acquisition $ 470,000
(2) Site Development 1,200,000
(3) Athletic Fields 650,000
(4) Gymnasium 4,184,000

Of these items, four are included in the 1971-73 request:
(1) Evans Watershed Project $ 116,000
(2) Physical Education Complex, Increment I 5,400,000
(3) Physical Education Complex, Increment II 1,000,000
(4) Addition to Getchell Library 2,990,000
Total $ 9,506,000

(9) Air Conditioning, Fleischmann Home
Economics 100,000
(10) Addition to Renewable Resources Building,
Valley Road Farm 600,000
Total $ 2,264,000
Dr. Donnelly commented on the Capital Improvement Program
Request for 1971-73 for the Community College Division:
(1) Instructional Building, Clark Community
College $ 1,500,000
(2) Instructional Building, Western Nevada
Community College 1,000,000
(3) Instructional Building, Elko Community
College 500,000
Total $ 3,000,000
Dr. Donnelly noted that there are no details included in
this document concerning the Community College request be-
cause there has not been time to develop the specific scopes
of work; however, he said, they will be ready by the time
the request is submitted to the Legislature in January 1971.
Chancellor Humphrey commented on the request for $240,000
for a building to meet the needs of the administrative
components of the University of Nevada System Office, the
Community College Division and the University Press.
Mr. David Wilkins explained how the space standards adopted
by the Board of Regents had been applied and the methods
used to arrive at the recommendations contained in the docu-
ment.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the document anticipates
doubling of the capital improvement fee. He recommended
that the Board indicate its intention to give this possi-
bility consideration so that the Presidents can deal with
this problem on the Campuses this Fall and a decision could
be made before the Capital Improvement Program Request goes
to the Legislature.
Chancellor Humphrey submitted the System Priority List for
1971-73 which had been developed for the lists submitted
by the Divisions as discussed earlier. Priorities are as
follows:
(1) Land Acquisition, UNLV $ 470,000
(2) Evans Watershed, UNR 116,000
(3) Site Development, UNLV 1,200,000
(4) Athletic Fields, UNLV 650,000
(5) Gymnasium, UNLV 4,184,000
(6) Physical Education Complex, Increment I,
UNR 5,400,000
(7) Natatorium, UNLV 1,118,000
(8) Physical Education Complex, Increment II,
UNR 1,000,000
(9) Instructional Building, Clark Community
College 1,500,000
(10) Instructional Building, Western Nevada
Community College 1,000,000
(11) Instructional Building, Elko Community
College 500,000
(12) System Administration Building 240,000
(13) Life Science & Physics, UNLV 4,233,000
(14) Central Air Conditioning - Chill Water
Lines, UNLV 780,000
(15) Library & Computer Center, Phase II,
UNLV 5,555,000
(16) Addition to Getchell Library, UNR 2,990,000
Total $30,936,000
Chancellor Humphrey also explained the method of financing
proposed for the 1971-73 Capital Improvement Program as
reflected on Page 52 of the document.
Mr. Bilbray expressed concern over the position of the Sys-
tem Administration building on the list and suggested it be
moved ahead of the Community College Division's request.
He questioned whether the Community College would require
facilities during the coming biennium. Chancellor Humphrey
said he believed it important that the request be made now
so that the Community College will be in a position to pro-
ceed. If they are not included in this request, they will
be precluded from proceeding until the 1973 Legislative
Session. He pointed out that the System Offices can con-
tinue to lease space if necessary; the Community College
Division may not be able to do so.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved that the Board of Regents accept the
document as the University's Capital Improvement Program
Request for 1971-73, that the list of priorities on Pages
51 and 52 and the supplemental UNR list on Page 25 be
approved, with the understanding that the document antic-
ipates an increase in the capital improvement fee which
the Board agrees to discuss with the Administration in the
Fall. Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried without
dissent.
35. Matching Funds for National Defense Student Loans
Chancellor Humphrey reported that UNR has received a supple-
mental allotment for the National Defense Student Loan Pro-
gram of $22,624 and UNLV has received $19,921 for a total
supplemental allotment of $42,545. This requires that 1/9
of the total in matching funds, or $4,727.22 be provided
by the University.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that in 1969 the Legislature
appropriated $25,000 to be used as matching funds for this
purchase. To date, $24,848 has been expended, leaving a
balance of $152. He recommended that matching funds for
the supplemental allotments be provided as follows:
State Appropriation $ 152.00
Teacher Cancellation Refund 3,555.59
David Russell Loan Fund 1,019.63
Total $4,727.22
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
36. Estimative Budgets for 1970-71
Chancellor Humphrey submitted for consideration and approval
Estimative Budgets for 1970-71 totaling $4,899,203, noting
these budgets exceeded the 1969-70 budgets of $4,515,106 by
8.5%.
Mr. Mark Dawson explained the changes which had been incor-
porated into the 1970-71 Estimative Budgets:
University of Nevada, Reno
(1) Evening Division and Off-Campus Programs, separately
budgeted in the past, were combined to expedite admin-
istration.
(2) In the past, debt service has been charged to various
Auxiliary Enterprises accounts based upon the cash
flow of the particular unit. In an attempt to more
realistically identify the expense of each unit, this
charge is being assessed based upon the value of the
building.
(3) In making the debt service assessment against Nye Hall
in this manner, a subsidy is needed in the amount of
$21,474. This subsidy has been prorated among the
other residence halls which, because of this change
in assessment of debt service and the fact that the
older halls do not have debt service, are able to gen-
erate a surplus.
(4) Due to the small number of people being served, the
Auxiliary Enterprises accounts at Stead require a sub-
sidy in the amount of $26,578. This subsidy has been
accommodated by reduction of the Buildings and Grounds
charges for services. Buildings and Grounds, there-
fore, has less money to spend for maintenance at Stead.
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
(1) The Tonopah Hall and Dining Commons budgets have been
combined for administrative convenience. A $110 per
year board and room increase (approved by the Board
earlier in the meeting) was incorporated into the
budget.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the 1970-71 Estimative
Budgets be approved with the continuing understanding that
expenditures will not exceed receipts in any budget.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the Chancellor's recommendation be
approved.
37. Alcoholic Beverage Policy
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in May, the Board of
Regents received a proposal from President Miller which
requested a change in policy regulating the use and pos-
session of alcoholic beverages at UNR. He noted that the
present regulations provide that "the storage, possession
and use of alcoholic beverages is not allowed in Univer-
sity-supervised houses, apartments, residence halls, on
sorority and fraternity property, on the University Campus,
or on other University property."
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the proposed policy state-
ment had been developed by an ad hoc committee of 15 which
included students, faculty, alumni and a representative of
the Reno Police Department, and was recommended by Presi-
dent Miller. Proposed policy statement reads as follows:
PROPOSED POLICY FOR POSSESSION AND USE OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO
1. (a) The storage, possession or use of alcoholic bever-
ages is expressly permitted to persons of legal age
in their rooms only. No minor shall be present in
said room when alcoholic beverages are on the
premises or when such beverages are consumed, nor
may a minor consume any alcoholic beverage if the
adult resident of that room is absent.
The storage, possession and use of alcoholic bever-
ages is not permitted in other sections of the res-
idence hall.
(b) The storage, possession, or use of alcoholic bever-
ages in off-Campus University approved housing
shall be in conformity to all relevant civil codes
or statutes.
(c) The storage, possession, or use of alcoholic bever-
ages is not permitted on any University property
or in any University facility not specifically
designated in 1a above or not according to the
provisions of that section of the Reno Municipal
Code entitled "Drinking in a Public Place".
2. Students who violate 1a, 1b or 1c shall be subject to
appropriate action by law enforcement officials. The
student shall also be subject to suspension from the
University.
3. Students of legal drinking age who live in a sorority
or fraternity house (or members of that sorority or
fraternity) and who, because of the use of alcoholic
beverages in that living unit, create disturbances or
otherwise interfere with other students shall be liable
for University disciplinary action. The fraternity or
sorority of which he is a member shall be considered
for loss of status as "Approved University Housing"
and loss of official approval of its charter by the
University of Nevada.
4. Students not of legal drinking age who live in a sor-
ority or fraternity house (or members of that sorority
or fraternity) and who violate any section of the Mu-
nicipal Code or Nevada Revised Statutes (as either ap-
plies to storage, possession, or use of alcoholic bev-
erages) shall be subject to appropriate action by law
enforcement officials.
If a student is convicted of such violation, he or she
shall be subject to suspension from the University, and
the fraternity or sorority of which he is a member shall
be considered for loss of status as "Approved University
Housing" and loss of official approval of its charter by
the University of Nevada.
5. Any "Approved" student organization which, in conse-
quence of group action, violates 1a, 1b or 1c shall
lose its approved status for the remainder of the
semester in which the violation occurs and the follow-
ing semester. A second offense shall result in further
suspension or other appropriate action, and the offend-
ing members of legal drinking age shall be subject to
suspension. Those members not of legal drinking age
shall be subject to 2 above.
6. The Office of the President has the authority to desig-
nate the time and place for special events where alco-
holic beverages may be served on the University Campus.
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that at the May meeting, Pres-
ident Zorn requested the policy statement also be adopted
for UNLV. Upon the Board's instruction, this proposed pol-
icy was referred to the Attorney General for advice as to
its legality. Chancellor Humphrey reported that General
Dickerson had responded that "The University, of course,
can regulate the use of intoxicating liquors any place on
Campus ...". However, General Dickerson had asked that
his personal opinion against adoption of such a policy be
communicated to the Board of Regents.
Chancellor Humphrey submitted the following letter of recom-
mendation:
I recommend the adoption of the proposed alcoholic
beverage policy effective July 1, 1970, for a period
of one year and provided reasonable segregation of
persons 21 years of age and older can be secured in
the residence halls.
My reasons for recommending this policy for approval
are as follows:
I believe that the present policy is not being
enforced and is substantially unenforceable, re-
sulting in unequal treatment of students 21 years
of age or older living in "approved" housing, de-
pending on whether they live in a residence hall
or a fraternity or sorority house.
I believe that a variety of responsible people
have developed this policy proposal after consid-
erable study and their advice is understood to be
unanimous.
I believe that whenever and wherever possible,
adults should be treated as adults, and their
status as students should not alter that treatment.
My reasons for recommending the policy be effective
for a specific period of time are as follows:
I believe the administration of this proposed
policy will be quite difficult and I wish to
insure that it is adequately reviewed after the
experience of several months is known. As noted
above, the present policy is not being enforced
and is unenforceable. Perhaps it will be found
that this new policy suffers from the same prob-
lems and will need alteration or repeal.
This represents a substantial change in policy and
it would be desirable if all Faculty and Student
Senates were consulted as soon as feasible and
their views made known. These groups would bene-
fit from knowing the experience of a few months
of operation.
The rights of non-drinking adults and minors might
be subjugated (as occasionally happens in the "out-
side" community) and these people should have ade-
quate opportunity to be heard if they find the
experiment unsatisfactory.
Mr. Humphrey recalled that the Board had requested a report
on the percentage of residents in the Dormitories who were
21 years of age or over. Of the 206 residents of Tonopah
Hall, UNLV, 87 or 42% are 21 years of age or older. Of the
902 residents of UNR Dormitories, 81 or 9% are 21 years or
older.
Mr. Hug expressed opposition to the proposed policy, stat-
ing that he did not favor adopting a policy and then being
placed in the position of attempting to rescind it. Dr.
Anderson suggested that the Board would merely be trading
one unenforceable policy for another.
Miss Del Papa spoke in support of the proposed policy,
pointing out that when the Trial Judges live in Nye Hall
during the Summer, no effort is made to enforce the Univer-
sity's regulation concerning alcohol. She suggested that
if the present policy is to remain in effect, it should be
enforced for all residents.
Mr. Seeliger moved that action be tabled. Motion seconded
by Dr. White.
Mr. Myers suggested that action be taken separately to ap-
prove Paragraph 6 which would permit designation of spec-
ial occasions at which alcohol might be served.
Mr. Bilbray moved that Paragraph 6 of the proposed policy
be approved. Motion seconded by Mrs. Knudtsen.
Mrs. Knudtsen asked if consideration had been given to es-
tablishing a location on Campus where liquor could be served
to students presenting an ID card. President Miller stated
that the Committee has considered a pub but had abandoned
the idea because of the many problems involved in such an
operation.
Chancellor Humphrey asked, for purposes of administrative
understanding, whether it was the Board's intention to di-
rect that the present policy be strictly enforced. Mr. Hug
stated that that would be his assumption and this was the
consensus.
Mr. Pine stated that he believed that Paragraph 6 should be
approved and that some kind of substitute policy be present-
ed. One should be developed in that the present policy
was not enforceable. He suggested that this matter needed
additional study. He also suggested that perhaps the Cam-
pus would be better off to allow a properly supervised com-
merical enterprise to locate near the Campus.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved that the motion be amended to provide
that the remainder of the policy be referred back to the
Administration for continuing study in anticipation that
a more acceptable proposal would be forthcoming. Amend-
ment was accepted and amended motion carried with Regents
White and Seeliger opposing.
38. Admissions Policy for Applicants with Criminal Records or
Psychiatric Problems
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in May the Board tabled
consideration of a recommendation to rescind Faculty Policy
Bulletin #69-8 to permit legal review by the Attorney Gen-
eral's Office. He stated that it is anticipated that this
matter will be rescheduled for the July meeting.
39. Graduate Teaching Fellows and Assistants
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in April the Board of
Regents requested the development of a budget for an ori-
entation program for Graduate Assistants and Fellows to be
held prior to the opening of the Fall, 1970 semester. In
May, the Board requested that a "determination for budget-
ing purposes be made of the feasibility of changing the
function of Graduate Assistants from one of teaching to
one of assisting the Professor in charge of the classroom."
Chancellor Humphrey reported that in response to these re-
quests, a report had been prepared by Mr. Don Jessup, Insti-
tutional Studies Officer, titled "A Possible Approach to
Change of Function of Graduate Teaching Fellows or Assist-
ants". (Report is on file in Chancellor's Office.)
Mr. Jessup briefly reviewed his report, touching on the
purpose of the document; that is (1) to analyze the current
practices in the use of Graduate Fellows for undergraduate
instruction at UNR and UNLV; and (2) to make recommendations
for improving conditions under which this instruction takes
place with the purpose of making the experience more mean-
ingful to both the Graduate Fellow and the undergraduate
students involved.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the study has indentified
some of the problem areas which deserve attention and rec-
ommended the report be referred to the Presidents for
their consideration with a request that they return to the
Board not later than August, 1970 with reports concerning
the use of Graduate Fellows and Assistants and the feasi-
bility of modifying their function.
He further recommended that $1500 be made available from the
Board of Regents Special Projects Fund to each of the three
Divisions, UNR, UNLV and DRI, to fund three-day orientation
sessions in September, 1970, prior to the start of the Fall
semester to be conducted by each Division in a manner to be
determined by the Division's Executive Officer.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the above recommendations be approved.
40. Advance Planning, UNLV Parking and Landscaping Project
President Zorn reported that the State Planning Board has
offered to advance plan the UNLV parking and landscaping
project and has asked for recommendations from which to
select an architect. He recommended that the State Planning
Board be requested to select either Daniel, Mann, Johnson
and Mendenhall or Zick and Sharp.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
41. Proposed Contract with Nevada Power Company
President Zorn requested approval of a ten-year contract
with Nevada Power Company for supplying of power to the UNLV
Campus. He noted that Business Manager Westfall estimates
that the special rate which this will enable UNLV to receive
will save $15,440 of the budgeted power charge of $157,000
for 1970-71.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the contract
subject to review by the Attorney General.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
42. Fee Waivers for CSUN Officers
President Zorn reported that the UNR precedent for provid-
ing in-state fee waivers for five ASUN Officers was referred
to the UNLV Scholarship Committee for consideration of sim-
ilar waivers for CSUN Officers. Action by this committee
was deferred until Fall, 1970. In the meantime, he stated,
the waivers available under the 3% quota established by
Board of Regents policy has been allocated by this commit-
tee. President Zorn requested that a one-year exception
to Board policy be made to permit five in-state fee waivers
in excess of the 3% quota, with the stipulation that in the
future these waivers must be within the 3%. The Officers
designated to receive the awards were President, two Vice
Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that this procedure not be
approved. He pointed out that the Board of Regents may
direct the award of these waivers. Although the 3% has
been fully allocated for the Fall semester by the committee,
it is possible that the waivers be available by overawarding
during the first semester and under-awarding during the
second semster; thereby, balancing to 3% for the year.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the CSUN Officers as designated by
President Zorn be granted in-state fee waivers during
their terms in Office and that the waivers be provided from
the 3% quota authorized by Board of Regents policy.
43. Authorization to Purchase Without Competitive Bids
President Miller endorsed a request from Mackay School of
Mines that they be allowed to have multi-colored geological
maps printed by Williams and Heintz Map Corporation on a
continuing basis without competitive bidding. He recalled
that the School of Mines had received permission for one
year to contract for maps without bid and had reported that
the conditions remain the same; that is, that they feel that
Williams and Heintz is the only company which can provide
the kind of service they require.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended authorization be granted to
the Mackay School of Mines for an indefinite period to con-
tract with Williams and Heintz Map Corporation for printing
of multi-colored geological maps without competitive bids.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
44. Approval of Fund Transfers
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the following
transfers of funds:
#474 $4,500 from Contingency Reserve, UNR to Medical In-
surance Premiums to provide funds needed through
June 30, 1970.
#475 $5,000 from Contingency Reserve, UNR to Postage to
provide funds for balance of fiscal year.
#476 $6,000 from Contingency Reserve, UNR to President's
Office, Operating, to cover deficit balance and pro-
vide operating funds for balance of fiscal year.
#477 $4,400 from Contingency Reserve, UNR to Dean's Office,
Operating, Mackay School of Mines, to provide funds
for required annual assessment work on 51 unpatented
mining claims contained in the Lambertucci bequest.
#478 $6,000 from Contingency Reserve, UNR to Audio-Visual
to provide funds for operating expenses and equip-
ment for balance of fiscal year.
#480 $35,669.68 from Contingency Reserve, UNR to Buildings
and Grounds, to provide funds to purchase $22,000
Chemistry building furniture and $13,669.68 to pur-
chase automobiles.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the fund transfers be approved as
recommended.
The meeting adjourned at 5:50 P.M.
