2. Chancellor's Report
Chancellor Bersi announced the offer of a gift to the System
from Control Data Corporation, Harris Corporation and Digi-
tal Equipment Corporation, consisting of the latest in
computer equipment, amounting to $1.3 million, stating:
The University of Nevada System has long been under-
funded and under-equipped to meet the demands of
System units, especially in the areas of academic and
instructional computing.
In 1981 the Legislature authorized $530,000 for the
acquisition of computer equipment for the University
of Nevada System. In today's market, that amount does
not buy the quantity and quality necessary to fill the
existing gap in the System's computing capacity.
Last Fall, the Regents committed their support to a
new University of Nevada System Computer Center Plan
of Development. Acting Director Lloyd Case of the
University of Nevada System Computer Center at that
October meeting of the Board, described a 9-point plan
to bring the University of Nevada System up to speed
in its ability to deliver computer based instruction
to Nevada students.
Since that time, Dr. Case and I developed a strategy
for achieving these objectives in spite of minimum
funding from the State. I won't take your time here
to relate the details of our efforts over the past
6 months -- suffice it to say that we determined to
sell a number of internationally recognized computer
manufacturers on the future of Nevada and the deter-
mination of the University System to be a highly con-
tributive partner in that future.
The bottom line is that I am pleased to report that,
added to our State appropriation of $530,000 for equip-
ment purchases, are the following gifts in computer
equipment:
From Control Data Corporation $ 762,358
From Harris Corporation 504,545
From Digital Equipment Corporation 72,800
Total $1,339,703
From State Appropriation 530,000
Grand Total $1,869,703
Mr. Mc Bride moved to accept the gifts. Mrs. Fong seconded.
Motion carried without dissent.
Chancellor Bersi further related the benefits these gifts
will bring to the System, saying:
What does this mean for the University of Nevada System?
Briefly put, the upgrade in the University of Nevada
System computing capacity is as follows:
Reno upgrade, to commence July, 1982, provides approxi-
mately:
1. Twice the previous process power
2. Twice the computer memory
3. 2 1/2 times the disk storage
4. 4 times the tape speeds
5. Front end computers to provide potential port
expansions
6. Improved (newer) software and network software
Las Vegas upgrade:
1. 3 times the previous power
2. 10 times the computer memory
3. 3 times the interactive ports (users)
4. 3 times the disk space
5. 3 times the printer capacity
6. 3 times the tape drive capacity
The above amounts to a Systemwide processor power in-
crease of more than 500%. In short, we now have the
foundation -- the base -- that gives the University of
Nevada System the right to plan for its place in a
future where higher education will be dominated by
institutions that recognize early enough the importance
of computer based education to their students and to
economically diversified health of their states.
He further explained that the companies were interested in
our system because of its unique governance structure and
the ability to work with so many varied individual settings
within that structure. By the end of the Summer a long-
range plan will be submitted for the project with the main
thrust being for instructional purposes to enhance student
learning capabilities.
3. Silver Bowl, UNLV
In March, 1982, the Board had authorized the UNLV Adminis-
tration to negotiate with the Las Vegas Convention and
Visitors Association on an offer by the Authority to trans-
fer the Silver Bowl to the University. President Goodall
requested approval of a year-to-year contract, beginning
July 1, 1982, between the Authority and UNLV. The proposed
agreement is identified as Ref. C and filed with the per-
manent minutes.
Mr. William Morris, a member of the joint committee, stated
that the Authority has agreed that when approaching the
Legislature for funds to operate the Silver Bowl, they will
not compete in any way for a academic program funds. He
further stated that a volunteer committee has already been
formed which will solicit donations of labor and equipment
to help defray the costs of replacing the astro turf.
Regent Gallagher noted that the Board wants it clearly un-
derstood that if there has been no relief from the Legis-
lature for funding the operations of the Bowl by the end of
the first year of the contract, that the Silver Bowl would
no longer be a University of Nevada System problem and that
the lease would no longer be renewed.
The UNLV Faculty Senate Vice Chairman, Dr. Allen Morley,
recalled that they were unanimously opposed to any of the
operating costs requests to the Legislature being in com-
petition with academic funding.
Mr. Ross moved that the lease agreement be approved subject
to approval by Legal Counsel, for one year only, beginning
July 1, 1982. Seconded by Mr. Buchanan. Motion carried.
Regent Buchanan suggested that inasmuch as all Regents were pres-
ent for the Investment, Audit, Budget and Academic Affirs Commit-
ties, the reports and recommendations could be accepted without
further discussion.
4. Approval of the Report of the Investment Advisory Committee
Mr. Karamanos, Chairman, submitted the following report and
recommendations:
1. Accepted an Investment Performance Analysis for the
quarter ending March 31, 1982, presented by Mr. Don
Rossi of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith.
2. Accepted the reports presented by Mr. Lee Scholey for
First Interstate Bank, Mr. Monte Miller of Valley Bank
of Nevada, Mr. Tom Josephsen of Security Bank of Nevada
and Mr. Tom Gaffney of Nevada National Bank.
Discussed the portfolio for the endowment of the
Atmospherium-Planeterium and directed Vice Chancellor
Dawson to prepare a detailed report to the Committee
prior to September 1, 1982.
3. Accepted a report from Vice Chancellor Mark Dawson con-
cerning American Investors, who are managing funds from
the Pinching Endowment with a 12% rate of return, and
the Kleberg Endowment which is realizing a 17% rate of
return. An agreement between American Investors and the
University of Nevada System has been established.
4. Recommended the Board of Regents accept the Esping
Estate gift to the School of Medicine with the stipu-
lations as set forth by the trustees of the estate,
that monies be invested separately (cash in the amount
of $79,794.43; a promissory note in the amount of
$112,000 at 10% interest from St. Mary's Hospital,
which is payable on or before March 20, 1988; a prom-
issory note in the amount of $3400 from Dewey J.
Smalley at 10% interest payable July 12, 1990; and
a previous gift of $60,000, totalling $255,194.43),
and that a report be made each year on April 30 to the
trustees on the earned income.
5. Recommended a resolution to memorialize Mrs. Elva
Knudson Smith, who died recently. Mrs. Smith was the
mother of Mr. Arthur Smith, a former member of the
Board of Regents and currently the Chairman of the
Board of First Interstate Bank.
5. Approval of the Report of the Audit Committee
Regent Whitley, Chairman, submitted the following report:
Accepted in its entirety the Internal Audit Report concern-
ing the UNR College of Agriculture, which has been requested
by President Crowley and Dean Bernard Jones. Report and
recommendations are on file with the permanent minutes.
The Audit recommendations are as follows:
A. Budgetary Control
The Audit findings and conclusions reveal that the
College of Agriculture had a fiscal office that was
voluntarily exlcuded from the rest of the University
community and operated without budgetary control, had
unnecessary complex accounting records, and violated
Board of Regents policy, federal and state law. We
conclude that Management has been financially unac-
countable in an environment that demands public ac-
countability. We recommend the following:
1. That Management define their organizational struc-
ture, develop a budget policy, allocate resources,
record budgetary spending authorization, and as-
sign principal investigators for each account.
2. That no expenditures be allowed prior to budgetary
authority.
3. That the College comply with the policy of the
Board of Regents to enforce Estimative Budgets.
4. That the College of Agriculture's Accounting Sys-
tem be revised to conform with the University of
Nevada System.
5. That all accounts be reviewed and consolidated so
that only active accounts remain.
6. That the College resolve all existing deficit ac-
counts with available College funds. If College
funds are not available, the College should seek
assistance from UNR.
7. That the College make realistic estimates of
federal revenue for Biennial Budget Requests to
be presented to the Nevada State Legislature.
8. That future augmentation requests be submitted to
the Board of Regents, the State Budget Office, and
the Legislative Interim Finance Committee in ac-
cordance with and as required by Board policy and
State law.
9. That the University of Nevada System's Legal
Counsel be consulted to determine the legality of
the assumption that the Cooperative Extension
Service Smith-Lever 3D Funds carry over for two
years.
10. That Management develop a policy on the priority
of use of carryover funds.
11. That effective immediately, accountants cease
changing account coding of source documents as
assigned by the principal investigations.
B. Safeguarding and Control of Assets
We conclude that the College Management has not ful-
filled its reponsibility with respect to safeguarding
and control of University assets. We recommend the
following:
1. That the College conduct a physical inventory of
equipment in their custody and report to the
Business Center North Property Management person-
nel with subsequent notification to the Chancel-
lor's Office of equipment lost or missing.
2. That, effective immediately, the College collect
all amounts legally due the University. Further
that a contract be executed immediately with
U. S. D. A. charging them for their use of Uni-
versity services and property. That a report be
issued by the College to the UNR President de-
tailing the total amount of revenues for which
payment was not received in the past.
3. That the College control and reduce the number of
limited purchase order books issued to College
personnel.
4. That the College, with the assistance of Legal
Counsel, execute contractual agreements in the
areas of:
A. Hereford Herd Program
B. Land on Loan
C. The Loan of College Livestock
C. Violation of Federal Regulations
We conclude that the College does not have sufficient
internal controls to assure consistent compliance with
regulations of federal, state and local governments who
have provided funds to the University. Although our
finding include only two exceptions under federal regu-
lations, we would refer the reader to the Budget Com-
pliance Section for more exceptions. We recommend the
following:
1. That the College comply with Circular A-21 and
require that College personnel complete Personnel
Activity Reports in the manner which the federal
government has approved for payroll certification.
2. That the College seek the assistance of the Busi-
ness Center North Controller's Office in prepara-
tion of Annual Financial Reports to government
funding agencies to assure timeliness and accuracy
of reports submitted.
D. Violation of Board of Regents Policy
Gund Ranch - On June 29, 1979, the Board approved
$45,000 to construct a residence for the Manager of the
Gund Ranch. 3 separate accounts were set up and a total
of over $110,000 was spent for the residence. Currently
the Manager of the Ranch is residing in the residence
and is paying a fee of $25 per month rental. There is
also a $300,000 deficit in the Ranch accounts for 81-82.
Apparently because the Estimative Budget was not sub-
mitted for approval to the Regents. We recommend the
following:
1. That a full report be given to the Board of Regents
detailing all expenditures for the construction of
the residence on the Gund Ranch.
2. That the rental arrangements for housing at the
Gund Ranch be reviewed to determine if they are
perquisites or a requirement of employment.
3. That all costs of the Gund Ranch residence con-
struction be funded and be properly recorded in
plant funds.
4. Since the Gund Ranch Estimative Budget has not been
approved by the Board of Regents, no expenditures
in fiscal year 1982-83 can be made prior to approv-
al of this budget.
5. That interest income be credited to the Board of
Regents Special Projects Account to comply with
existing policy.
6. That all investment decisions be made by the
Controller's Office, Business Center North.
7. That Management review all rentals to employees to
insure an adequate return for use of University
assets.
8. That the College report all gifts whether monetary
or non-monetary to the Board of Regents for accept-
ance.
E. Comingling of Funds
Nevada Agricultural Foundation
Internal Audit recommends that the Nevada Agricul-
tural Foundation be merged into the University of
Nevada, Reno Foundation. If this procedure is not
followed, the Dean of the College should prohibit
the faculty and staff from accepting any funds pro-
vided from the Nevada Agricultural Foundation with-
out prior written permission from the Board of Re-
gents. Upon acceptance, the Dean should administer
these gift funds to assure that duplicate resouces
are not provided for the same purpose.
In addition, the College should charge the Founda-
tion the cost of maintaining the Foundation live-
stock as well as execute an agreement specifying
the rights and responsibilities of both parties
concerning livestock maintenance.
Calves for College Program
Only the difference between the cost of feeding and
caring for the donated calves and the sales price of
the slaughtered animals should go into the Calves
for College Award Fund. The College should be re-
imbursed for its costs for this program. An analy-
sis of maintenance costs of this program, including
estimates of amounts absorbed by the College, should
be completed. A reserve should be calculated and
established for potential audit adjustments.
In addition, we recommend that the College increase
the dollar amount and number of student scholar-
ships since the fund balance continues to grow from
interest income.
F. Checking Accounts
Nevada Junior Livestock Show Board
The President of the University of Nevada, Reno
should notify each Junior Livestock Show Board mem-
ber of Internal Audit's exception taken with respect
to this bank account, emphasize the fact that the
University's name has been used, that the Board of
Regents assumed no responsibility for this bank
account, and that it is improper to associate the
University of Nevada's name with a non-University
bank account. The Show Board members, who are also
University employees, are acting as individuals,
and in no way representing the University.
G. Scholarships
We recommend that the College provide the UNR Scholar-
ship Office with information as to the amount of awards
and names of recipients. Further, the Scholarship Pro-
grams noted above should be included in all University
literature that details available scholarships.
Dean Jones reported that as of June 30, 1982, all accounts
would be closed and that a new simplified accounting system
would be set up, with an individual Fiscal Management Of-
ficer assigned to each account, and that they would be fol-
lowing UNS policy. He also stated that they are working on
the Gund Ranch problem and will be reporting back to the
Board at a future date.
The Board assured President Crowley and Dean Jones that they
now have the complete approval of the Board to take such
necessary steps to correct the irregularities as reported.
The Board further commended Kathy Kossick, Director of In-
ternal Audit, and her staff for the work they have done, and
also thanked President Crowley and Dean Jones for their co-
operation and assitance during the audit.
6. Approval of the Report of the Budget Committee
Regent Del Papa, Chairman, submitted the following report
and recommendations:
1. Approved the following host and interview/recruiting
accounts:
(A) Host accounts to be funded by the Board of Regents
on an annual basis as follows:
UNR $6000
UNLV 6000
DRI 6000
TMCC 3000
CCCC 3000
WNCC 3000
NNCC 3000
Board of Regents 7000
School of Medicine 3750
Unit 4000
Institutions will be allowed to transfer un-
restricted funds to augment Regents' allocation
as needed and approved by the Campus President.
(B) Policy concerning funding for interviews and
recruiting as follows:
Presidents and Chancellor -- Board of Regents to
fund 100% of actual costs.
Major Administrative appointments, i.e., Vice
Presidents, Deans, etc., the Board of Regents to
fund a maximum of $5000 per position. The re-
spective institution would fund costs greater
than $5000. Other searches would be funded by
the Board of Regents to a maximum of $2000 per
position and any excess costs would be funded
by the respective institution.
2. Approved the establishment of a $6000 bank account at
Nevada National Bank for the Mackay Mines Summer Field
Camp with signature authority to M. J. Hibbard, L. T.
Larson and John Marzolf. The account will cover ex-
penses of the Summer Program in the Wilderness of
Nevada and will be accounted for in a manner similar
to employee travel expenses.
3. Approved the DRI Financial Plan as presented by Presi-
dent Murino. Identified as Ref. B-3 and filed with
the permanent minutes.
4. Approved DRI's request to loan contingency funds to
the following sales accounts to be used as operating
funds:
(A) $10,000 to Atmospheric Sciences Center machine
shop
(B) $15,000 to Atmospheric Sciences Center electronic
services shop
These loans would be interest free and returned to the
contingency fund when they were no longer needed.
5. Approved President Crowley's request that approximately
$29,870 remaining at the end of 1981-82 in the UNR Mens
SKI Team acount be used for 1982-83 operating costs in-
stead of the establishment of an endowment. In August
1981 the Board approved the reinstatement of the Ski
Team with funding from the Board of Regents Special
Projects Fund and private contributions with the un-
derstanding that any funds not required for operation
of the program during 1982-82 would be used to estab-
lish an endowment for the permanent support of the
program. The Committee recommends that the endowment
concept be postponed until such time as the level of
private contributions make it feasible.
6. Approved a revision to the 1981-82 Ladino Dairy Esti-
mative Budget as follows:
Current Reqstd

Projects Fund. Also, recommended that Systemwide guide-
lines, evaluations and coordinated reports be developed

trustees in academic affairs, which the Association of

and Academic Affairs Committees. Mrs. Gallagher seconded.
Motion carried.
8. Report of Financial Aids Programs
In response to a Board request, each Campus submitted a
report outlining current financial aid involvement with
estimates of the impact of the proposed federal cutbacks
in the aid programs. In 1981-82, the total awards to stu-
dents amounts to $13,259,070 with an expected drop to some
$8.9 million in 1983-84, unless measures to correct this
gap are undertaken by the System. Recommendations on alter-
natives will be presented to the Board at the July meeting.
Mrs. Whitley moved to accept the reports. Ms. Del Papa
seconded. Motion carried.
9. Alcoholic Beverage Policy
The Board adopted the following policy on purchase of
alcoholic beverages:
The purchase of alcoholic beverages for use at the
University of Nevada System functions shall be per-
mitted for the following functions or pursuant to the
following conditions:
1) Conferences and institutes where a part of the fee
collected is for a cocktail party.
2) Host account expenditures for liquor with dinner
and for large receptions.
3) Student Associations must have the institutional
President's prior approval and the institutional
President is to be the only person authorized to
approve payment of the purchase of alcoholic bever-
ages from Student Association Funds. The insti-
tutional President will only grant this authoriza-
tion upon being satisfied that proper supervision
is provided in the dispensing of alcoholic bever-
ages.
Mr. Karamanos moved approval of the policy. Ms. Del Papa
seconded. Motion carried.

from non-state appropriated funds in the amount of $25,000
to the Australian National University of Canberra, Australia
which will be applied to the construction of a gas exchange
apparatus. The apparatus is to be placed on permanent loan
to DRI for the use of its Bioresources Center. This grant
is necessitated by the fact that the Australian National
University is prohibited from making sales of scientific
instrumentation which it fabricates.

deed of trust for sale of property in connection with the
Paul L. Pinching Memorial Scholarship. This property was
reverted to the University System after an initial loan on
February 15, 1980, and a subsequent foreclosure. The prop-
erty is now to be sold on a contract of sale. $17,593.02
was advanced to UNS from American Investment Management with
$819.00 due upon approval of sale by the Regents and the
Governor, for a total of $18,412.02, which is the principal
and interest at 18% per annum.
Vice Chancellor Dawson recommended approval by the Board for
sale of this property, with permission to make a similar re-
quest of the Governor.
Mrs. Whitley moved for approval of the sale. Mr. Mc Bride
seconded. Motion carried.
14. 1982-83 Salary Requests, School of Medicine
When proposed salary increases for UNS personnel were sub-
mitted for approval, School of Medicine salaries were not
included pending a proposal, subsequently dropped, to the
Interim Finance Committee which would have affected salary
distribution and decisions. President Crowley recommended
the following salaries for 1982-83, stating that the ulti-
mate objective is to bring these administrative salaries up
to 50% of the Western Regional level, and although some of
these increases appear somewhat excessive, they will all be
short of that goal, with the exception of Dr. Wood.
