5. Requirements for Masters Degrees
President Miller reported that the Graduate Council of UNR
had adopted a proposal to establish an alternative set of
requirements necessary for completion of the Master of Arts
and the Master of Science Degrees. Each graduate student
would have the option of choosing either Plan A, the exist-
ing set of requirements, or Plan B which deviates from Plan
A as follows:
(1) A minimum of 32 credits of course work carrying gradu-
ate credit.
(2) A minimum of 15 credits in courses numbered 900 or
above.
(3) At least 15 of the 32 graduate credits must be in a
major field of study, with at least 8 credits in a
minor field.
(4) Each Department will have the prerogative of establish-
ing additional requirements to those specified above.
President Miller noted that the major differences between
Plan A and Plan B are that Plan B will not require a thesis
and Plan B will require 32 credits of course work instead
of the 24 credits required in Plan A. President Miller
recommended approval.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred, noting that the 33% increase
in course load caused by increase in credit requirements
from 24 to 32 credits will have to be accommodated; however,
this will be compensated in part by the deletion of the the-
sis requirement.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
6. Narcotics Testing Laboratory
President Miller presented a proposal from Mr. Tom Carrigan,
Administrator, Division of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs,
Department of Parole and Probation, State of Nevada, re-
questing UNR to establish a narcotics testing laboratory
in collaboration with that agency and without cost to the
University. President Miller endorsed the request by Dean
George T. Smith, School of Medical Sciences, that this be
accomplished through the Biochemistry Division. Chancel-
lor Humphrey concurred. (Proposal filed with permanent
minutes.)
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mrs. Knudtsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
7. Agricultural Experiment Station Property
Dean Dale Bohmont reported that the State Department of
Highways is acquiring lands necessary for the construction
of the Ring Road in Washoe County and has offered the Uni-
versity $71,130 for 20.28 acres at Main Station Farm. He
recommended that the offer be rejected and a right of entry
granted to the Highway Department, subject to the following
conditions:
(1) Right of way fence to conform to State Highway specifi-
cations, Type B woven wire fence. Fencing materials
to include 2'7-1/2" woven wire topped with two barbed
wires fastened to wood and steel posts. Braces to be
8" x 8" treated timber posts with 4" x 4" timber hori-
zontal brace. Fencing to be placed on stock side of
posts. Gates to be 16" minimum, chain link type.
(2) Pump, bases, well casing, and Parshall flumes for
drainage research to be removed by the Highway Depart-
ment with all materials salvaged or replaced. Highway
Department to reimburse the University for the cost of
reinstalling the wells, pump, pump bases and Parshall
flumes.
(3) Irrigation system replacement to be done between Novem-
ber 1 and March 1 to minimize crop loss due to disrup-
tion of irrigation schedules. Pioneer ditch must main-
tain flow for stock water through Winter and full flow
March 1 to November 1.
Dean Bohmont stated that since this is a special use land,
similar to Valley Road Farm property, it has a substantially
higher value than farm land which is the basis for the High-
way Department's offer of $71,130.
President Miller endorsed Dean Bohmont's recommendation.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred with the understanding that
the Administration would be authorized to negotiate further
with the State Department of Highways.
Motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
Dr. Lombardi entered the meeting at 9:50 A.M.
8. Proposed Gift of Garden Farms to UNR
Dean Bohmont reported that he is presently negotiating with
the owners of "Garden Farms", a 10-acre greenhouse complex
in Las Vegas, who propose to give this facility to the Uni-
versity for operation by the Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion. He presented color slides depicting the greenhouses
and the surrounding land and recommended that he be author-
ized to proceed with the negotiations. President Miller
concurred.
Chancellor Humphrey endorsed the above recommendation with
the understanding that this matter must come back to the
Board for final approval.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
9. Lambertucci Bequest
President Miller reported that the Attorney General had
requested the University to execute a deed to the surface
rights of a portion of the mining properties bequeathed to
the University by Domenico Lambertucci, deceased. In mak-
ing the request, the Attorney General cited the following
background:
Domenico Lambertucci, in his will, gave to the Univer-
sity of Nevada, for use by the Mackay School of Mines,
all of his mining properties. He gave to his heirs
the surface rights in other tracts adjoining the mining
properties. Through usage, a portion of the surface
rights which were utilized as the Lambertucci Ranch
overlapped the mining properties bequeathed to the
University of Nevada.
At the time of the hearing on the Petition for Distri-
bution in the Lambertucci Estate, the apparent conflict
caused by this overlap was resolved by agreement. By
the terms of that agreement, the University would deed
to the Executor of the Estate that portion of the mining
properties which overlapped the surface tract and con-
stituted the Lambertucci Ranch within an existing fence.
The lands described in Parcel No. 1 of the Deed are
those referred to above.
The agreement further provided that the surface rights
to the Hidden Gem claim would similarly be deeded to
the Executor for the benefit of the heirs, with two
exceptions:
First, the University, for access, is to retain all
rights to a portion of the claim consisting of ap-
proximately 3 acres adjacent to the highway.
Second, many years ago, Domenico Lambertucci per-
mitted two persons, Mary Ann Czarevitch and A. C.
Anderson, to build homes on the claim. The court's
order authorized the Executor, upon receipt of the
Deed, to convey to each of these persons a specif-
ically described portion of the claim on which
their homes are situated.
When this Deed is executed, and such conveyances there-
after made by the Executor to the heirs and to Mrs.
Czarevitch and Mr. Anderson, all in accordance with the
order of the court, the estate will be in a position
to be closed and the Executor discharged.
Dean Scheid recalled in January the Board had accepted a bid
from the Hughes Corporation to sell the mining leases. The
University's right to sell is being contested; however, the
execution of this Deed has nothing to do with that action.
A portion of the surface rights will be transferred. That
portion does overlie part of the property being sold to
Hughes but the bidders were notified of that condition in
the process of advertising. Mr. Walsh stated that he was
aware of the details in this matter and recommended this
as the appropriate course of action. President Miller and
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
10. Scholarship Reports
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that the Board had requested a
report on all scholarship funds and the manner in which they
are expended. In compliance with that request, he noted
that two reports concerning scholarship awards for 1969-70
had been transmitted with the agenda. One report was pre-
pared by Dr. John Standish, Director of Financial Aids, UNLV
and one prepared by Dr. Robert Mc Queen, Chairman, Scholar-
ships and Prizes Board, UNR. He also noted the inclusion
of a report concerning the Bob Davis Scholarships which had
been prepared by the Chancellor's Office with assistance
from UNR and UNLV (all 3 reports are filed with permanent
minutes).
President Zorn commented on the report from UNLV, pointing
out that as a young institution UNLV has not been able to
generate a lot of scholarship funding. These are important
aspects of developing incentive for student quality and
raising the caliber of the student body generally, he noted.
UNLV needs considerably more funding in this area, he said.
The salient thing this report brings out, he stated, aside
from the quantitative factor, is that most of the individual
grants are financed by off-campus groups who, for the most
part, select their own recipients. The number of scholar-
ships that are awarded by the Scholarship Committee is small
in reference to the number of all awards. Dr. Zorn stated
that the Scholarship Committee is quite concerned about
this and is concerned also about the quality of access to
scholarships in all sectors of the Campus. Sometimes there
have been proposals that the scholarships be assigned by
quota to Colleges; however, Dr. Zorn said that he believed
that talent which needs encouragement does not come by
quota but by individuals, and needs individual evaluation.
Dr. Zorn noted that the recent addition of Bob Davis
Scholarship has added significantly to the funds available
for UNLV students, providing approximately half again as
many awards as had previously existed.
Dr. Zorn continued his comments by stating that he believed
the report is useful in that it points up the inadequacy of
scholarship funds and also highlights the University's ef-
forts to provide assistance to the economically and cultur-
ally disadvantaged student, noting that of a total of 153
scholarship awards at UNLV, totaling $54,877.25, 47, or a
total of $17,600, were made to this group. He pointed out
that the first year of the Bob Davis Scholarships had been
an experimental year with limited guidelines and no way in
which to predict the success of the program. Based on the
experience during this first year, Dr. Zorn stated, the
Scholarship Committee has recommended that henceforth the
Davis Scholarships be awarded on a semester-to-semester
basis and that a level of achievement be established so
that there must be a performance approaching an average
grade of C for continuation in the award.
President Miller commented on the report from UNR, noting
that he would not repeat the material contained in the
report since the covering narrative by Dr. Mc Queen was so
complete. He did stated that the narrative draws attention
to certain aspects of the Scholarship Program which deserves
continuing attention.
Dr. Miller noted that, as at UNLV, UNR also has been through
an experimental year with the Davis Scholarships. He re-
called that the Davis Scholarships had been divided into 3
parts with up to $50,000 allocated to an Educational Op-
portunity Program which was implemented in 1969-70. The
second and third parts of the Davis Scholarships were ap-
proved later in the year for implementation when funds were
available and it is anticipated that this will occur in
1970-71.
Dr. Anderson recalled that he had asked for the report on
scholarship monies and the ways in which they were expend-
ed because he believed there was an inadequate overall
plan for their administration. He also pointed out that
directions of the Board of Regents had not been followed
in the administration of the Davis Scholarships in that a
number of awards had exceeded the $1000 limit placed on
the individual scholarships. Dr. Anderson stated that he
had a number of suggestions which he believed would aid
in the improvement of the Scholarship Program. He sub-
mitted the following recommendations, asking that they be
referred to the Presidents and to the Director of Community
College Division for review and later discussion:
All scholarships and prizes and fee and tuition waivers
for the University of Nevada Reno Campus, except when
designated otherwise by the Board of Regents and the
Administration, shall be supervised and administered
by the Scholarship and Prizes Board of the University
of Nevada Reno Campus. Candidates for scholarships,
prizes and fee or tuition waivers shall be nominated
by the appropriate Administrative Officer, College or
other Division or Department Officers in accord with
stipulated directions or other regularly formulated
guidelines.
1. The Scholarship and Prizes Board shall administer
the Davis Fund to conform with the following guide-
lines. The Director of the Educational Opportunity
Program or others may nominate culturally or educa-
tionally or economically deprived students for
Davis Scholarships. Such use of the Scholarship
and Prizes Board would allow for consistent con-
sideration of these students, and would provide
for the existing, experienced organization of the
Scholarship and Prizes Board to be used. This will
free time of the Director of EOP so that he will be
able to devote additional effort to tutorial assist-
ance of minority students, helping them find and
keep part-time jobs together with general counseling
of this group.
2. Davis Scholarships shall be for one semester at a
time and the recipient shall be registered for at
least 12 credits. Davis Scholarships shall be for
students who are substantially full-time and monies
shall not be advanced beyond one semester.
3. Scholarships shall not be awarded to a student whose
cumulative grade point average is below 2.0 or whose
most recent semester grade point average is below
2.0. To award a scholarship to a student who is
not making his grades is nothing but misplaced wel-
fare, is of no real advantage to the student and
deprives other students of needed scholarship money.
4. Davis recipient students should be Nevada residents,
with highest priority given to those born in Nevada
and graduating from Nevada high schools and second
priority to those not born in Nevada but who have
graduated from Nevada high schools. The logic of
this rests both in stated terms of the Davis bequest
and the fact that we should give financial scholar-
ship assistance to those persons in Nevada who need
it before bringing in people from out-of-state.
The Nevadans concerned would usually not be eligible
for similar scholarships in other states.
5. Scholarships shall be limited to $500 per semester
at the most. This would provide for payment of the
consolidated fee ($217.50), books (estimated $50 to
$75) and still leave $208 to $233 for incidentals.
Those students who do not have additional needed
income should be able to work part-time, the same
as other students, for board and room. The program
under these conditions would take less money for
an equal number of students then previously. This
would leave more money for general scholarships,
and probably even more of the minority and other
disadvantaged students who need help and can do
College level work could still be taken care of.
6. At times additional limited use shall be made of
additional in-state tuition fee waivers in numbers
to be recommended by the President and approved by
the Board of Regents, to provide assistance for
special circumstances or situations where it is not
possible to provide adequately through existing
sources. Examples might be re-entry to employment
as teachers, nurses, etc., that need some financial
help for refresher courses or might be able to
achieve equity for Colleges with fewer scholarships
than average.
7. Any new scholarship or prize money made available
to the University shall be administered to honor
the terms or desires of the donor. When no terms
or desires are expressed, guidelines for their
administration shall be established by the Admin-
istration and the Board of Regents.
8. There should be encouragement throughout the Uni-
versity to seek more scholarship and prize money
or unrestricted gifts but efforts should be worked
out and be coordinated with the office of the
Director of Development.
Mr. Jacobsen referred to the report on the Davis Scholar-
ships, expressing interest in the fact that approximately
1/3 of the recipients at UNR had actually had an increase
in their grade point average at admission and that approx-
imately 1/2 of those reflecting an increase began the
period with a grade point average below 2.0. Perhaps, he
said, some analysis should be made to determine if the
students who are being helped are those who can be expected
to ultimately bring themselves to a level where they are
doing acceptable work. He also suggested some considera-
tion be given to the desirability of awarding EOP on a
semester to semester basis. He asked that his comments be
included in the review requested from the Presidents and
that a report be brought back to the Board at an early
meeting.
Mr. Bell asked the Presidents what they would consider a
reasonable date for a report of this nature.
President Miller stated that although he recognized that it
would be administratively awkward, he would wish to have
until the October meeting before returning with a report.
President Zorn stated that the October meeting would be
desirable for his Campus also; however, he said he believed
that UNLV already complies with the criteria suggested by
Dr. Anderson. He noted that the Scholarship Committee has
already recommended that scholarships be awarded on a
semester-to-semester basis and has established a 3.0 grade
point average requirement.
Chancellor Humphrey asked the Presidents what problems they
would anticipate with this timing in view of the fact that
scholarships for the Fall semester would already have been
awarded. He suggested that it be specified that the Fall
scholarships would be awarded only to those students who
are making satisfactory progress toward a degree.
Dr. Zorn stated this would cause no problem for UNLV. Dr.
Miller also stated that it would cause no problem for UNR
since such problems would normally occur at the end of the
first semester. Dr. Miller added that for the record he
wished to point out that exceptions made with respect to
the amount of stipend and the continuation of students in
the EOP were made with his knowledge and approval.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that the recommendations submitted by
Dr. Anderson be made a part of the minutes and be referred
to the Presidents for review with a report back to the
Board in October, at which time they be adopted as a state-
ment of policy. Motion seconded by Mr. Seeliger.
Dr. Barmettler stated that since there are a number of stu-
dents enrolled in non-degree problems who are interested in
receiving scholarship assistance, perhaps it would be unfair
to specify they must be making satisfactory progress toward
a degree. Chancellor Humphrey agreed and suggested it might
be better phrased as specifying they maintain a grade point
average of not less than 2.0
Dr. John Wellinghoff, Administrative Assistant to the ASUN
President, read the following excerpt from the accreditation
report of UNR by the Northwest Association:
Financial Aids (Loans, Scholarships, Prizes, Waivers)
The program includes all the forms of financial aid
found in comparable institutions. While the amounts
available are limited, this is true for most insti-
tutions. Nevada appears to be no worse off than many,
and in a more favorable position than some.
The most unfortunate feature of the program is its un-
sophisticated organization and operation. Clearly, the
institution does not meet the financial aid standard
for accreditation. Scholarships and waivers are admin-
istered under an Academic Department. The Office of
Financial Aids handles loans and part-time employment.
There appears to be little coordination and cooperation.
The common and most acceptable practice is for the Fi-
nancial Aids Office (including scholarships and waivers)
to be centralized and to have the authority to use all
forms of student assistance at the College. Programs,
policies and procedures are guided by the faculty but
centrally administered. Through centralization and
sound policies, it should be possible to grant a loan,
scholarship, tuition or fee waiver, part-time job, or
any combination of these to a worthy student.
While the present Financial Aid Office operates on the
need principle in awarding loans and part-time jobs, the
office responsible for scholarships and waivers does not
believe in the principle. In selecting scholarship and
waiver recipients it was reported to the effect that
"selection can be based on scholarship only since finan-
cial need is exceedingly difficult to determine." As a
result, scholarship stipends for Washoe County students
are usually $250 and $500 for those from other counties.
Apparently it is not understood that student need can
be accurately assessed through national programs of the
System of the American College Testing Program. It is
conservatively estimated that more than 1000 collegiate
institutions rely on these programs to help determine
student need, and that these institutions control more
than 80% of the scholarships awarded. This does not
mean that scholarships are being awarded without con-
sideration of scholarship. Certainly, the prime con-
sideration in selecting scholarship recipients should
be academic excellence; however, the stipends should be
based on need. Such a program stretches limited schol-
arship funds and provides greater benefit to worthy
students.
Apparently the present arrangement causes much duplica-
tion of effort through separate applications for various
types of aid, and a heavy use of some faculty time in
administrative duties. For entering Freshman applica-
tions that go out to high schools, it is common to have
a single application that can be used for all forms of
financial aid. Some have incorporated this form with
the application for admission.
In view of the findings, it is suggested that:
1. Careful consideration be given to reorganizing
the financial aid program under a central office.
2. A student Financial Aid Committee, broadly repre-
sentative of faculty and students be established
to set policies and procedures.
3. Financial need be considered in setting scholar-
ship stipends as well as loan amounts.
4. A uniform financial aid application be designed.
Mr. Wellinghoff stated that the ASUN supports the recommen-
dations reflected above and asked that it be given consider-
ation during the review which has been requested.
Mr. Jacobsen agreed and expanded his motion to provide that
it be included in the Presidents' review.
President Miller noted that the recommendations of the
Accrediting Committee have not been ignored. Dr. Mc Queen
agreed and also noted that the Scholarships and Prizes
Committee meets in the Spring and immediately thereafter
the Financial Aids Office is informed of the awards which
are approved. That office is then able to incorporate
these figures into the information on which decisions for
financial aid are based.
Motion carried without dissent.
Mr. Bell asked for an expression from the Board concerning
the award of scholarship monies to students with a grade
point average below 2.0.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that the Administration be permitted to
continue awarding Educational Opportunity Program grants
to students below 2.0 grade point average, pending further
review of the Scholarship Program in October, and providing
that the award of these grants be reviewed at the end of
the first semester. Motion seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent.
11. Awards of Bids, UNR
A. Mr. Pine reported that bids were opened June 23, 1970,
for the baseball field sprinkler system. Two bids
were received:
Savage & Son, Inc. $13,000
Warren's Lawn Sprinkling Co. 12,989
President Miller recommended award of the bid to
Warren's Lawn Sprinkling. Chancellor Humphrey con-
curred.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be ap-
proved.
B. Mr. Pine reported that bids were opened June 12, 1970,
for a Digital Laser Raman Spectrophotomer for the
Chemistry Department. Funds are available from a
National Science Foundation grant. Bids received were:
Spectra-Physics, Inc., Mt. View, Calif. $29,377
Jarrell-Ash, Waltham, Mass. 30,215
Spex Industries, New Jersey 33,790
Mr. Pine stated that although the bid of Spectra-
Physics, Inc. was lower, the Chemistry Department
considered the equipment offered by Jarrell-Ash to
be superior and recommended the bid be awarded to that
firm.
President Miller recommended approval. Chancellor
Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be ap-
proved.
C. Mr. Pine reported that bids were opened June 19, 1970,
for graduation diplomas on a five-year contract. This
was requested by the Department of Admissions and
Records and funds are to come from diploma sales ac-
count. Bids received were:

Autrey Bros., Denver, Colorado 3.15 ea.
President Miller recommended award to Clint Lee Company.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, car-
ried without dissent that the above recommendation be
approved.
D. Mr. Pine reported that bids for dairy products were
opened June 22, 1970. 3 identical bids were received,
each in the amount of $27,853.29. Mr. Pine recommended
that each bidder receive the business for 2 months at
a total of $9,194.43. Bidders were Beatrice Foods,
Crescent Dairy and Model Dairy, all of Reno. Mr. Pine
noted that prices on dairy products have a minimum price
established by the State Dairy Commission.
President Miller recommended approval. Chancellor
Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, car-
ried without dissent that the above recommendation be
approved.
E. Mr. Pine reported that bids for 82 items of groceries
were opened June 23, 1970. Bids were as follows:
Abbot Supply, Sparks
low on 36 items $ 7,081.44
Monarch Foods, Reno
low on 36 items 6,402.21
Milani's Fine Foods, Los Angeles

without dissent that the above recommendation be ap-
proved.
F. Mr. Pine reported that an A. B. Dick, Model 385, re-
production press for 17-1/2" x 22-1/2" paper has been
on lease purchase agreement and recommended that author-
ization be granted to exercise the option to purchase at
this time for $7390.30. Monies are available within
the budget of Central Office Services.
President Miller recommended approval. Chancellor
Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, car-
ried without dissent that the above recommendation be
approved.
12. Report on Progress of 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
reports are on file in the Chancellor's Office.)
13. Change in Name and Function of the College of General and
Technical Studies, UNLV
President Zorn reported that the UNLV Curriculum Committee
and the Faculty Senate have approved a plan to change the
name of the College of General and Technical Studies to the
College of Allied Health Professions. The purpose of this
request was outlined by Dean Dwight Marshall in a letter,
as follows:
The College of General and Technical studies requests
Curriculum Committee and other appropriate review to
change the name of this academic subunit to "College
of Allied Health Professions". We intend to concen-
trate our educational program on medically related
curriculum, now commonly called Allied Health Profes-
sions throughout the United States.
We will concentrate on baccalaureate level education,
offering only those less-than-baccalaureate programs
which require special faculty or equipment used to
offer baccalaureate degrees in one of the allied health
areas. We will offer a limited number of graduate de-
grees in the allied health fields, but do not expect
to bring these forward until the latter half of the 10
year planning period.
The emerging Community College System will relieve us of
the responsibility, placed by Faculty Senate action in
1964, for offering less-than-baccalaureate programs in
vocational-technical areas. We would like to be in a
position to assist the Community College in its orderly
development. This may include appropriate arrangements
to transfer selected programs from this College to the
Community College as it develops. In any event, the
change recognizes the urgent need for local preparation
of baccalaureate individuals to serve the health needs
of the community.
Pending appropriate review, certain changes have been
projected. It is our intention to effect a transfer of
the Law Enforcement Program to the College of Social
Science at the earliest possible time. We have discon-
tinued the offering of the Associate Degree in Design
Technology and Fire Sciences. We will continue to offer
coursework until such time as the Community College is
prepared to absorb these offerings. Other similar
changes are being discussed and will be implemented as
needed in order to redirect this academic subunit as
detailed above.
President Zorn endorsed the request of the College of Gen-
eral and Technical Studies and recommended approval. Chan-
cellor Humphrey concurred with the further stipulation that
in recognition of the fact that the College is no longer
offering the Associate Degree in Design Technology and in
Fire Science, authority for those degree programs be for-
mally rescinded.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
(Item numbers 14 through 19 not used.)
20. State Suit Against Nevada Association of Chiropractic
Medicine
Chancellor Humphrey reported that by telephone poll (8 af-
firmatives, unable to contact 3) the Board had authorized
the University to enter into a suit, in cooperation with
the State Board of Education and the Attorney General,
against Nevada Association of Chiropractic Medicine.
Mr. Walsh stated that the suit had been filed but since he
was prohibited from publicly discussing the case, he would
prefer to make his report in Executive Session.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that this discussion be transferred to
the Executive Session agenda.
21. Purchase in Excess of $5000, UNLV
President Zorn reported that bids for office furniture for
the new Chemistry building were received June 19, 1970 as
follows:
Sarrets Office Equipment Co. $14,101.34
Business Machines Company 16,917.28
Sears, Roebuck and Co. $13,992.67
plus 1 item not bid low 321.26 14,313.93
Hart-Cobb-Carley 24,773.30
Armanko Office Supply Co. 13,147.28
plus 2 items not bid low 2,017.72 15,165.00
Dr. Zorn stated that the Chemistry Department had recommend-
ed the deletion of item No. 11, conference table, and item
No. 13, utility racks, as being unacceptable. With the
deletion of these items, the bids are as follows:
Sarrets Office Equipment Co. $12,083.62
Business Machines Company 14,434.62
Sears, Roebuck and Co. 12,211.37
Hart-Cobb-Carley 22,144.61
Armanko Office Supply Co. 13,147.28
President Zorn recommended the bid be awarded to Sarrets
Office Equipment Co., with the exception of items No. 11 and
13 for a total purchase from that firm of $11,841.95. He
recommended that item No. 11, conference table, be purchased
from Hart-Cobb-Carley in the amount of $432.38 and item No.
13 be purchased from All Steel Equipment Company in the
amount of $1887.05. Total of order would be $14,161.38.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. White, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
22. Sabbatical Leave Subsidy, DRI
Mr. Warburton requested that $3500 be allocated to DRI from
discretionary funds to finance the sabbatical leave author-
ized for 1970-71 for DRI. He noted that sabbatical leaves
are financed by the Department involved, aided by allocation
of $3500 of institutional money. The sabbatical leave ac-
count (of $3500 per leave) is budgeted each year by UNR and
UNLV. When the 1969-71 budget for DRI was prepared, no con-
sideration was given to requesting the $3500 allocation
since DRI participates with the Community College Division,
University Press, Computing Center and Chancellor's Office
for the one leave available. Chancellor Humphrey recommend-
ed the request be approved and the money transferred from
the Board of Regents Special Projects Fund (1-4-26-3002).
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
23. Skill Training Center
Director Donnelly reported on the progress of the search
for a facility in Las Vegas in which to house the MDTA Skill
Training Center. He noted that he had, at the request of
several of the North Las Vegas Officials, inspected a number
of alternative sites and had reinspected the facility under
consideration by the State Department of Education which is
located at 301 South Highland Drive. Representatives of the
Department of Education of the North Las Vegas community ac-
companied him on the inspection trip. The State Department
of Education has recommended the facility at 301 South High-
land Drive be leased and Dr. Donnelly reported that he con-
curred in the selection. He requested the concurrence of
the Board.
Chancellor Humphrey endorsed the recommendation, noting that
there had been no further contact from the North Las Vegas
community following the inspection of alternative sites and
therefore it was assumed they did not wish to pursue an
alternate location.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the Board concur in the selection of
the facility at 301 South Highland Drive as the location
for the Skill Training Center.
24. Candidates for Graduation
Chancellor Humphrey reported the following figures which
reflect the number of degrees awarded by the University of
Nevada System for the period July 1, 1969 through June 30,
1970:

President Miller and President Zorn presented the June list
of graduates from UNR and UNLV, as approved by the faculties
of each of the Colleges and by the Presidents. (List of
graduates filed with permanent minutes.)
25. Approval of Lease-Purchase in Excess of $5000
Chancellor Humphrey reported that Mr. Niels Anderson, Di-
rector of the Computing Center, has requested approval of
a lease-purchase agreement with American Data Systems, Inc.,
for the following:
Monthly Lease Price
2 ADS-448 AEM Modems $288.00
2 A81 Interface Cards 7.20
2 ADS-630 Multiplexors 132.00
4 A07 EIA Interface Cards 14.40
$441.60
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the Sigma 7 is available
to the University System by means of telephone lines, batch
terminals and time-share terminals located where needed.
A batch terminal and time-share terminals are installed at
UNLV. The equipment requested by Mr. Anderson for lease
is necessary for most efficient use of the terminal system
and will allow a single telephone line to serve 18 users
simultaneously and allows processing of batch jobs at the
same time.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the equipment request has
been approved by the Data Processing Policy and Planning
Board. He endorsed the request and recommended approval
by the Board.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
26. Admissions Policy for Applicants with Criminal Records or
Psychiatric Problems
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in September, 1969, the
Board adopted a policy statement on admission of applicants
with criminal records or psychiatric problems. This policy
statement was distributed as Faculty Policy Bulletin #69-8.
He noted that although the policy had been recommended to
the Board through administrative channels, it had not been
referred to the faculty. Subsequent to its adoption, UNR
and UNLV Faculty Senates reviewed the policy statement and
recommended that it be rescinded and a substitute policy
adopted. This recommendation had been endorsed and present-
ed to the Board for consideration at its May meeting. At
that time, he noted, the Board tabled the matter, instruct-
ing that it be submitted to the Attorney General for legal
review. During the course of his review the Attorney Gen-
eral had requested advice from Warden Carl Hocker, Nevada
State Prison, and Dr. Robert J. Mc Allister, Superintendent,
Nevada State Hospital. The Attorney General's response, to-
gether with the letters of advice from Warden Hocker and Dr.
Mc Allister, were transmitted with the agenda and are filed
with permanent minutes identified as Ref. O and Ref. P.
Chancellor Humphrey also recalled that the Regents had ex-
pressed concern over the proposed deletion of the question
pertaining to prior arrests and the complete elimination of
admission assistance and counseling for students who had
been hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. The desirabil-
ity of separating the regulation for the two groups was
understood. He recommended that this matter be referred to
the Faculty Senates with the request that the reservations
expressed by the Regents, and the opinions of the Attorney
General, Warden Hocker and Dr. Mc Allister be considered.
The Presidents concurred in the recommendation.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
27. Further Revision of Time Payment Policy
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in June the Board adopted
a new policy for time payment of fees, tuition and board
and room charges which would allow for two substantially
equal payments; the first upon registration and the second
by Friday of the 5th week of instruction, with a grace
period of 5 working days. Non-payment of the second in-
stallment will result in cancellation of registration. Mr.
Humphrey reported that President Zorn and President Miller
have recommended that the present time payment fee of $3
for time payments of less than $150 and $5 for time payments
of $150 or more be discontinued, but that the fee of $1 per
day for payment during the grace period be continued. Mr.
Humphrey endorsed the request and recommended approval by
the Board.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. White, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
28. Revenue Bond Resolutions
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that at the June meeting the
Board had approved a negotiated sale of $3.5 million of
revenue bonds to finance construction of the College of
Education building, UNLV and the Physical Science, Phase
II, UNR. He reported that the sale had been successful
and appropriate resolutions had been prepared by Dawson,
Nagel, Sherman and Howard, bond attorneys, for adoption
by the Board to formally approve the sale.
Mr. Humphrey noted that a problem had arisen during the
review of the resolution concerning the Education build-
ing, UNLV, and requested Mr. Mark Dawson, Budget Officer,
to comment.
Mr. Dawson explained the procedure followed in estimating
revenue, noting that it has been determined that UNLV
needs $525,000 to provide the necessary 125% of coverage
and is short that amount by $63,000. In order to accom-
modate this situation, Mr. Dawson suggested either of the
following three alternatives:
(1) Assess $3 per credit capital improvement fee to all
UNLV students in self-supporting programs (i. e.,
Evening Division and Summer School);
(2) Raise the fees for full-time regular students; or
(3) Wait a year to sell the bonds.
President Zorn said he did not believe that UNLV could af-
ford to delay a year. He suggested that of the 3 alter-
natives, it would be preferable to assess the $3 per credit
fee to Summer Session and Evening Division students. He
noted that a capital improvement fee is assessed all other
students, including part-time day students, and this would
have the effect of equalizing the burden. Chancellor
Humphrey agreed with this alternative and recommended that
the assessment to Evening Division students become effec-
tive Fall, 1970 and to Summer Session students in Summer,
1971.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Dr. White, carried with-
out dissent that the Evening Division students at UNLV be
assessed $3 per credit capital improvement fee, effective
Fall, 1970 and Summer Session students be assessed a simi-
lar fee effective Summer, 1971.
Mr. Dawson noted that this action by the Board will require
the resolution to be amended as follows: The last two
paragraphs of Section (69) beginning page 42 should be
changed to read as follows:
The designated Capital Improvement Fee now consists
of $42 per academic semester for each full-time stu-
dent; and $3 per credit for each part-time day student
and Evening Division student for any attendance at the
University of Nevada, Las Vegas, for the regular aca-
demic year of two semesters; and $3 per credit hour
for each Summer Session student. A "full-time student"
course in any semester consists of at least nine (9)
credit hours, and a "part-time day student" course in
any semester consist of not more than eight (8) course
hours.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the amendment
and adoption of Resolution #70-3.
RESOLUTION NO. 70-3
A resolution authorizing the issuance by the Board of
Regents of the University of Nevada of the University's
obligations designated as the "University of Nevada,
Las Vegas, Student Fees Revenue Bonds, Series August 1,
1970", in the principal amount of $1,600,000, for the
purpose of defraying wholly or in part the cost of con-
structing and otherwise acquiring for the University a
College of Education building on the Campus of the
University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and acquiring euipment
and furnishing therefor and other appurtenances relat-
ing thereto; providing the form, terms and conditions
of the bonds, the manner of their execution, the method
of their payment and the security therefor; providing
for the disposition of revenues derived from certain
fees and other charges from students using or being
served by, or having the right to use or to be served
by, the Student Union building facilities at the Uni-
versity of Nevada, Las Vegas, and from other facilities
of the University; prescribing other details concerning
such bonds and such facilities, including but not limit-
ed to covenants and agreements in connection therewith;
ratifying action heretofore taken toward acquiring such
College of Education building facilities and issuing
such bonds; providing other details relating thereto;
and repealing all resolutions in conflict herewith.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above resolution be adopted as
amended.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the resolution for the reve-
nue bonds for the Physical Science, Phase II, had been re-
ceived too late for adequate staff review. He recommended
its adoption subject to review by the Chancellor's Office.
RESOLUTION NO. 70-4
A resolution authorizing the issuance by the Board of
Regents of the University of Nevada of the University's
obligations designated as the "University of Nevada,
Reno, Capital Improvement Fee Revenue Bonds, Series
August 1, 1970", in the principal amount of $1,900,000,
for the purpose of defraying wholly or in part the cost
of constructing and otherwise acquiring for the Univer-
sity Chemistry and Lecture buildings of the Physical
Science Building Project, Phase II, on the Campus of
the University of Nevada, Reno, and acquiring equipment
and furnishing therefor and other appurtenances relat-
ing thereto; providing the form, terms and conditions
of the bonds, the manner of their execution, the method
of their payment and the security therefor; providing
for the disposition of revenues derived from certain
fees and other charges from students attending the
University of Nevada, Reno, and from other facilities
of the University; prescribing other details concerning
such bonds and such facilities, including but not limit-
ed to covenants and agreements in connection therewith;
ratifying action heretofore taken toward acquiring such
Chemistry and Lecture building facilities and issuing
such bonds; providing other details relating thereto;
and repealing all resolutions in conflict herewith.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Bilbray, carried
without dissent that the above resolution be adopted.
The meeting adjourned for lunch with an Executive Session to
follow immediately. The regular session reconvened at 2:45
P.M. with all Regents and staff present as at the morning ses-
sion.
Upon motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, the two
following items were added to the agenda:
29. Valley Road Farm Condemnation
Chancellor Humphrey reported that for minute purposes he
wished to report on the progress of the Valley Road Farm
condemnation proceedings. He noted that the legal action
involving the condemnation by the State Highway Department
of 8.6 acres of Valley Road Field Laboratory has been
completed. The District Court ruled that this is special
purpose property and that the Board of Regents is under a
duty to replace the facility being taken. Chancellor
Humphrey further reported that the trial to determine the
value of the property, based on the concept of special
purposes, is scheduled for August 31, 1970.
30. Bank Signature Authority, ECC
Dr. Donnelly requested the following signature authority
for Elko Community College bank accounts:
Nevada National Bank - Elko Branch
Petty Cash Account Elmer Kuntz
(Imprest Fund - $500 Hobert Sturn
reimbursed from UNR Sue Ballew
Revolving Fund)
Depository Account Henry Hattori
Edward Pine
Dan Pease
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Bilbray, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
31. 1971-73 Biennial Budget Request
Chancellor Humphrey opened the discussion on the 1971-73
Biennial Budget by noting that the final budget would not
be submitted until August after which it would be due, by
law, in the Governor's Office by September 1. He referred
to the document transmitted with the agenda, noting that it
was a draft and a summary of requests received from the four
Divisions and that it explained the methods used in develop-
ing the requests. Chancellor Humphrey stated that it was
considered desirable for the Board to have an opportunity
for review of the budget in its preliminary stages. Hope-
fuly, this review would then make it easier to digest the
completed document in August. He also pointed out that
modifications to the document may be agreed upon by the
Administration. If agreement is not reached, the Division
request and the Chancellor's recommendation will be pre-
sented in August.
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the draft document, following
the format of the document itself (document is on file in
Chancellor's Office). He noted that the requests for
1971-73, which have not been adjusted or cut, totals
$74,894,477, an increase of $33,858,920 or 81.3% over the
present biennium.
Chancellor Humphrey also reviewed the resources required to
finance the 1971-73 budget request, noting that if the same
rate of support from student fees and tuition were to be
maintained in 1971-73 as in the current biennium, a 35%
increase would have to be effected by some combination of
advance in registration fees and tuition.
Chairman Bell requested comments from the other officers.
President Miller stated that he had nothing to add to the
presentation. President Zorn also declined comment but
agreed to respond to questions as did Directors Ward and
Donnelly.
In the discussions following there were expressions of
concern over the size of the budget request and the Uni-
versity's chances of having this kind of increase favorably
considered by the Legislature.
Mr. Jacobsen suggested that it would be difficult to support
an 81% increase in the budget with a projected increase in
enrollment of 14.5% at UNR and 30% at UNLV.
Dr. Anderson agreed, stating that, assuming each request to
the document could be justified, it was not realistic to
expect the Legislature to approve it totally and the Re-
gents should be prepared to do some adjusting. Mrs.
Knudtsen agreed.
Chancellor Humphrey emphasized again that this is a summary
of requests and, therefore, is different from the final rec-
ommendations which will be submitted in August. He also
noted the inclusion of new programs, such as the two new
Community Colleges, within the totals. Responding to a
question as to how much of an appropriation the University
could except, Chancellor Humphrey stated that he had been
authorized by Mr. Howard Barrett, Director of the Depart-
ment of Administration, to release his very tentative esti-
mates of revenue for the coming biennium. Mr. Barrett has
estimated that the general fund revenue will increase from
$188 million in the current biennium to $218 million in
the 1971-73 biennium. Therefore, Mr. Humphrey stated, if
the University continues to realize the same level of sup-
port from the Legislature as it did in the current biennium
(17.5% of the total general fund revenue), and if other
revenue increases proportionately, the University could
expect an increase of approxiately $6.5 million in its
work program for 1971-73.
Mr. Humphrey also stated that the officers of the Univer-
sity fully understand that the outlook for an 81% increase
in funding from the Legislature is not optimistic. He
pointed out that this request does not include his recom-
mendation and does not reflect the final recommendation of
the Presidents or Directors in some instances because they
have transmitted their requests without benefit of knowing
what is occurring in other Divisions and are now in a
position to modify their requests.
Mr. Humphrey closed his comments by stating that he be-
lieved the purpose of asking for this preliminary review
had been served, and a revised document would be available
at the August meeting which would reflect the final rec-
ommendation for 1971-73 budget request.
The meeting adjourned at 3:30 P.M.
