14. Administrative Reorganization
Chancellor Humphrey noted the presence of faculty members
of the Ad Hoc Committee on Administrative Reorganization
who had been invited to participate in the discussion of
the Committee's recommendations. Present from U. N. were
Professor Charles Ross and Dr. Gary Peltier (Dr. Peltier
was present as an alternate for Dr. Eleanore Bushnell).
Present from N. S. U. were Dr. Richard Byrns, Dr. Robert
Smith and Dr. William Thomas White, Jr.
The discussion following concerning the recommendations of
the Committee (Ref. R of agenda material); a minority
report concerning DRI (Ref. S); a statement from President
Miller concerning implementation of the Committee recom-
mendations (Ref. T); and a proposal for organization of a
University Policy Board of Wildlands Research Coordination
(Ref. Q). In addition, the Chancellor's comments and
recommendations were discussed (Ref. U). (All references
are filed with permanent minutes.)
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the Committee's
proposal concerning on-DRI research units be approved
and implemented as follows:
The Bureau of Governmental Research, Bureau of
Business and Economic Research, Nevada Bureau of
Mines, Nevada Mining Analytical Laboratory,
Agricultural Experiment Station and Agricultural
Extension Service report to President Miller, U. N.,
effective immediately.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that the Committee was aware
of the reservations held by Dean Dale W. Bohmont concern-
ing the above recommendation as it affected the College
of Agriculture and invited him to speak.
Dean Bohmont spoke of the success of the statewide programs
of the College of Agriculture and stated that although he
would serve under any structure the Regents desired, he
preferred to continue the present practice of reporting to
the Chancellor for the Extension Service and Experiment
Station programs. He distributed materials concerning the
activities of the programs under his supervision, empha-
sizing the statewide importance and nature of the programs.
Dean Bohmont stated that the University of Nevada presently
has a workable system for the administration of the Agri-
cultural programs and proposed that he continue to report
to the President, U. N. for the teaching function of the
College and to the Chancellor for the Cooperative Extension
and Experiment Station functions. He questioned the wisdom
of tampering with a system that has produced a good quality
program.
President Miller stated that he would reject the assump-
tion that because a program administratively reports to a
Campus it would either automatically become a regional
program or in any way endanger the quality of that program.
He added that the present administrative structure is in-
tolerable and urged that the entire College of Agriculture
be assigned either to the Chancellor or to the President.
President Moyer stated that he supported the recommendation
of the Committee and of the Chancellor that the non-DRI
research and extension programs become the responsibility
of a President rather than to continue to have split
supervision.
Mrs. Knudtsen stated that it appeared most awkward to have
a part of a division or person reporting to more than one
officer.
Dr. Anderson suggested that the portion of the recommenda-
tion concerning Agriculture be deferred and the Regents
proceed with the balance of the proposal.
President Miller and President Moyer both expressed support
of the Committee's recommendation concerning the disposi-
tion of the General University Extension programs and recom-
mended the Chancellor's recommendation for implementation
be adopted.
Chancellor Humphrey stated that, in his opinion, the present
administrative structure of the College of Agriculture
whereby the teaching functions report to President Miller
and the research and extension functions report to the
Chancellor, leaves a lot to be desired and urged that the
new organizational structure be adopted as proposed, with
a review in one year to determine the success of the
change.
Mrs. Knudtsen stated that since we have a University System
designed to take care of and administer statewide functions,
those functions which are truly statewide should be retained
and should be administered by the Chancellor.
Mr. Hug stated that he felt the President is in an unten-
able position by being required to supervise personnel for
their teaching responsibilities but not for the other 2/3
of their function. He added that he also did not feel that
a statewide program had to be operated by the Chancellor
simply because it had statewide responsibilities.
Mr. Seeliger said that because of the implications of such
a decision, he did not wish to vote on the matter at this
time. He requested more time to study the matter of
Cooperative Extension and Experiment Station programs.
Mr. Hug noted that the Committee, the Presidents and the
Chancellor had all made the same recommendation; i. e.,
that the programs under discussion become the responsi-
bility of the President of the University of Nevada.
Dr. White moved approval of the Chancellor's recommenda-
tion except for the portion concerning Agriculture and
further moved that the present organizational structure
be continued until Dean Bohmont's return from leave of
absence. Motion was seconded by Mrs. Knudtsen.
Mr. Hug moved to amend the motion to leave Agriculture
in the recommendation and to approve as such. Motion to
amend was not seconded.
Mr. Hug then moved to amend the motion to approve the
Chancellor's recommendation with the exception of reference
to the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural
Extension Service and that the organizational structure for
these two programs be discussed at a later date. Motion to
amend was seconded by Mr. Seeliger.
Motion to amend received 4 affirmative votes and 4 negative
votes. Dr. Anderson cast an affirmative vote to break the
tie.
Motion as amended carried with Regent White opposing.
Discussion of the Chancellor's recommendations contained
in Ref. U continued.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried with-
out dissent that the following recommendations be approved:
(1) The following programs, now a part of General Univer-
sity Extension, now become part of the U. N.
(a) Civil Defense Education
(b) Community Development
(c) Correctional Personnel Training
(d) Continuing Education
(e) Correspondence Division
(f) Industrial Extension Service
(g) Off-Campus Programs
(h) Evening Division, U. N.
(2) President Miller be requested to recommend, for con-
sideration of the Chancellor and the Board of Regents,
the organizational structure and name for these and re-
lated activities.
(3) NSU be authorized to develop organizational capacity
to administer Continuing Education and Off-Campus
programs at NSU.
(4) The Chancellor and the two Presidents develop for
consideration by the Board of Regents a policy state-
ment to provide for an efficient division of the Off-
Campus program responsibility between the U. N. and
N. S. U.
(5) The position of "Director, Federal Projects" (David
C. Wilkins, incumbent) which is presently located in
General University Extension, be retitled Federal
Projects Officer and transferred to the Office of the
Chancellor. This position has been responsible for
assisting in and stimulating the development of
Federal grant and contract proposals within GUE and
on the two Campuses. It is proposed that these duties
be continued but expanded to include more service for
both Universities and study given to the assumption
by this position of responsibility for Title I grants,
HEFA of 1963 and Title VI, a HEA of 1965. Funding for
this position will not change until July 1969.
Chancellor Humphrey continued with his recommendations con-
cerning reorganization, stating that he believes the Com-
mittee proposal for DRI was feasible since basically it
recommends continuance of the status quo as far as DRI's
position within the System administrative structure. He
noted that the following changes in procedure would be
necessary and recommended them for approval.
(1) U. N. and N. S. U. should be free to develop research
projects within their administrative framework with-
out consultation with D. R. I.; however, they could
still cooperate with D. R. I. on any and all projects
where there was mutual agreement.
(2) With the new biennial budget (i. e., July 1969) DRI
should receive all indirect cost monies paid on DRI
projects; however, DRI should also fully reimburse
the appropriate Campus budget for all services re-
ceived.
(3) Faculty could continue to receive joint appointments
(i. e., DRI and either U. N. or N. S. U. or all three)
provided the salary, fringe benefit expense and other
costs are appropriately divided and the appointment
is approved by the Head of each unit involved.
Mr. Humphrey recommended that:
(1) The University Code and current practice be examined
to determine what changes in either Code or practice
are necessary to accommodate the DRI organization.
For example, tenure provisions, titles of professional
positions, service on U. N. Senate, etc.
(2) The Nevada Archaeological Survey become a part of the
U. N., effective immediately, provided however, that
the funding arrangements for 1968-69 not be altered.
This change in administrative control was requested
by Dr. Robert Stephenson and agreed to by Dr. Squires
on behalf of DRI and President Miller on behalf of
U. N.
(3) The DRI and other appropriate officers and groups
within the System (e. g., CWNAS Board, President
Miller) review the Center for Western North American
Studies and make recommendations concerning its con-
tinuance in DRI or alternatives.
Chancellor Humphrey then requested Vice Chancellor Mordy
to comment on the above recommendations.
Professor Mordy stated that the programs and structure of
DRI were still pretty much as he had authored it when he
came to the University. He noted that the recommendation
for a change in the DRI structure was made only after other
changes in the University System were proposed. He then
requested Dr. Squires to comment.
Dr. Squires spoke of the enabling legislation for DRI,
noting that in his opinion it has been wrongly interpreted
to mean only bricks and mortar of the Reno Campus. He said
that he felt it really meant the "higher education of the
State of Nevada". He spoke of the minority report which
proposed that DRI report to the President of the University
of Nevada and stated that he did not agree with the pro-
posal.
Dr. Squires added that the experience of DRI reveals that
it is playing an important role under the existing struc-
ture, noting that joint appointments which are presently
possible are generally useful contributions. He asked, if
the DRI reports to one President, can it serve its role on
the other Campus? Dr. Squires also asked why make a change
when it is working well. He recommended approval of the
Committee's recommendation.
President Miller stated that he wished the record to show
that the recommendation of the minority group was strictly
internal. He suggested that Dr. Peltier be invited to
speak on behalf of the minority report.
Dr. Peltier stated that it appeared quite logical for DRI
to report to the President of the U. N. The minority, he
said, did not feel that DRI differed from any other Depart-
ment within the University. He observed that the Chancel-
lor's responsibilities are not to administer a division of
the University but to serve as a coordinator. He expressed
concern that approval of the Committee recommendation would
indeed create a 3rd division of the University and thereby
introduce unnecessary competititon for research funds
among 3 research organizations.
Professor Mordy stated that increase in number of research
organizations within the University has been a primary
desire of his since coming to the University. He noted
that research and development in the State of Nevada has
become its second industry. He said that in his opinion
the University stands to benefit from any new research
activities.
President Moyer expressed support of the majority report.
He stated that he felt NSU has conceded major portions of
the University to U. N., but regards DRI has serving both
Campuses. He said that many things DRI does can be of
benefit to NSU and it would be a great loss if NSU did not
have access to DRI.
Professor Ross expressed concern that removal of DRI from
U. N. would leave a vacuum on that Campus. He said it
would force Reno to start from scratch in development of
a research organization. He noted that the support avail-
able through research planning committees has created a
vital need for further research money and he feared that
approval of the proposal would withdraw that support. He
added that the U. N. needs DRI or a similar structure.
Dr. Thomas White spoke of the narrowness of DRI in that it
is not presently serving in the Social Sciences and Humani-
ties field and said that he believed that Reno needs some-
thing other than DRI. He added that he believed that even
if DRI were assigned to Reno there would still be a need
in these areas.
Professor Mordy said he believed that much more has been
given to the University by DRI than has been taken. He
recommended that the Regents leave the general development
of DRI as much as possible to the people who are responsi-
ble for its growth.
Dr. Lombardi expressed approval of the Chancellor's recom-
mendation for implementation of the Ad Hoc Committee's
proposal.
Professor Mordy spoke of the timing for the transition to
a self-supporting organization and it was agreed that the
transition must be well-coordinated and the assignment of
overhead funds to DRI could occur only at the same time
that DRI begin to pay for services rendered by the Reno
Campus.
Dr. Peltier noted that the minority report was not intended
to be anti-DRI. He stated that the faculty are proud of
the fact that DRI has become embedded into the teaching
program. The recommendation was not designed to crimp the
activities of DRI but to avoid costly competition within
the State. He stated that those who signed the minority
report had hoped that DRI could be used as a basis of a
research program at Reno, leaving NSU free to establish
its own research program.
Dr. Smith agreed that each Campus should be free to develop
its own research activities but stated that both Reno and
Las Vegas need DRI and placing it within the UN organiza-
tion would make it inaccessible to NSU. He added that it
seemed important to keep channels between the 3 organiza-
tions open.
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed his recommendation and added
that a study should be made as to what services would be
provided by the University of Nevada to DRI.
Professor Mordy stated that it was also important that DRI
be free to determine whether or not it used University of
Nevada services.
Dr. Lombardi moved, seconded by Mrs. Knudtsen, that the
Board approve the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee
and the Chancellor's recommendations for implementation.
Motion carried without dissent.
The meeting adjourned at 6:00 P.M. to be reconvened on Saturday
morning.
The regular meeting of the Board reconvened on Saturday, July 13,
1968 at 8:45 A.M. in the President's Office, NSU. All members
who were present on Friday were again in attendance.
15. Dr. Anderson read a statement concerning the naming of the
student activities building at NSU in honor of President
Moyer. The statement read as follows:
Because of the genuine interest of the NSU student body,
as expressed in resolutions adopted by the CSNS student
government, and in recognition of his significant con-
tributions to the growth and development of Nevada
Southern University, the Board of Regents of the Uni-
versity of Nevada System hereby changes the name of
the Campus Student Union to the "Donald C. Moyer
Campus Student Union" building.
16. The Board resumed discussion of the reorganization of the
Central Administration which had begun the day before.
Referring to a recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee
(Para. 2, Ref. R), Chancellor Humphrey recommended that
the Data Processing Center Users Board become a University
of Nevada Campus Board and the membership be appointed by
the President of UN.
Mr. Seeliger asked about the status of the Sigma 7. Chan-
cellor Humphrey stated that he had received a request from
the Data Processing Center Users Board that the Computer
Center be removed from DRI to U. N. Further discussion
has been postponed, he said, until the basic decision was
made concerning DRI. He added that he would wish to come
back to the Board at a later date concerning the administra-
tion of the Center. He noted that as far as the operation
of the Sigma 7 is concerned, he would prefer to have Vice
Chancellor Mordy or Dr. Squires respond.
Dr. Squires stated that they had begun a 30-day test period
in June. He noted that the research programs were run
satisfactorily but the administrative programs were not.
He added that the Center has received a 30-day extension
of the test period before the rental begins.
Motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the Data Processing Center Users Board
become a U. N. Campus Board with the members to be appoint-
ed by President Miller.
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the recommendation of the Ad
Hoc Committee concerning the Educational Radio and Tele-
vision Board; i. e., that this Board also become a U. N.
Campus Board. He endorsed the recommendation and re-
quested approval by the Board, adding that he would assume
that NSU will have a similar board; however, it would not
preclude cooperation between the two Campuses.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Seeliger, carried
without dissent that the Educational Radio and Television
Board become a UN Campus Board with the members to be
appointed by President Miller.
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the recommendation of the
Committee concerning the Radiological Safety Board; i. e.,
that the Board remain statewide, reporting to the Chan-
cellor, with consideration given to establishing sub-
committees on each Campus. Mr. Humphrey endorsed the
Committee's recommendation and requested approval by the
Board.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent that the recommendation be approved as
presented.
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the recommendation of the
Committee concerning the University Press Advisory Board
and endorsed the Committee's recommendation that this
Board remain statewide, reporting to the Chancellor.
Motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the recommendation be approved as
presented.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that because consideration of the
Agricultural Extension and Experiment Station programs was
deferred, he would suggest that further discussion of the
4-H Camp Advisory Committee also be deferred.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without
dissent that consideration of the 4-H Camp Advisory Com-
mittee be deferred.
Chancellor Humphrey spoke of the proposal by the Whittell
Forest and Wildlife Control Board for the establishment
of a policy board for all University wildlands research
areas (Ref. R of agenda).
Both President Miller and President Moyer support the
recommendation of the Committee that such a statewide
policy board be established. Chancellor Humphrey endorsed
the recommendation and made the following recommendations
for implementation:
(1) That a statewide policy board reporting to the Chan-
cellor be established for all University wildlands
research areas;
(2) That the membership of this board be appointed by the
Chancellor, and the Presidents requested to nominate
proposed members from their Campuses;
(3) That administrative responsibility for each area
developed be separately determined at an appropriate
time; and
(4) That the Whittell Forest (Little Valley) be assigned
to UN and President Miller make appropriate arrange-
ments for administering and utilizing the area.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissent that the above recommendations be approved.
17. Performing Arts Center
President Moyer presented a review of the Performing Arts
Center project as outlined in memoranda from Chancellor
Humphrey to the Board of Regents (filed with permanent
minutes).
In reference to the recommendation contained in Chancellor
Humphrey's memorandum that President Moyer contact all
donors and request either pre-payment of their pledges or
execution of non-interest bearing negotiable promissory
notes, President Moyer stated that Mr. Wing Fong had con-
tacted local banks and had some statements to make in that
regard.
Mr. Fong spoke of his contacts with local banking houses
and expressed reluctance to go back to the donors and ask
for promissory notes. Mr. Mc Dermott agreed that it might
not be appropriate since such a note would show on a
financial statement and a pledge would not.
There was additional discussion concerning the appropriate
way to proceed in converting the pledges to negotiable in-
struments and there was consensus that the Administration
(Chancellor Humphrey and President Moyer) should contact
the bankers in the southern Nevada area concerning this
matter. Mr. Mc Dermott suggested that this Committee be
authorized only to get information to bring back to the
next Board meeting. There was consensus that this was
appropriate.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that preliminary planning stages
could still proceed and recommended the following steps:
(1) Pledge up to $215,000 of cash from the NSU Capital
Improvement Fee Fund for this project provided the
residence hall, dining commons project bond retire-
ment fund does not need subsidy.
(2) Instruct the Administration to proceed to negotiate in
the conversion of the pledges, reporting back to the
Board.
(3) Urge the Planning Board to enter into a contract with
the architect and go as far as the preliminary plans.
(4) Assume 62,500 sq. ft. of useable facility and a $2.3
million total cost.
(5) Request Vice President Baepler to assume responsibility
for coordinating revision of the scope of the project.
In reference to Item (5), President Moyer stated that he
was prepared to make sure the faculty users group is agree-
able to the revised scope before he leaves.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendations be approved.
Chancellor Humphrey then recommended that the Board author-
ize the Administration to proceed with preparations for a
bond sale for the $930,000 authorized by the 1967 Special
Session of the Legislature, to be completed sometime before
January 1, 1969. He noted that the market for College
revenue bonds is high and the probability of selling the
issue at 6% or less is doubtful. However, he recommended
that an attempt be made and, if unsuccessful, a decision
made to either wait the market out or go to the Legislature
for a change in the University Securities Law.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with-
out dissent that the bond sale attempt be made as recom-
mended.
18. Nevada Southern University Land Foundation
Chancellor Humphrey recommended adoption by the Board of a
resolution designed to correct an error in the description
of land in the original indenture adopted by the Board at
an earlier meeting.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent that the following resolution be adopted
as recommended.
RESOLUTION #68-10

GOING; PROVIDING OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY RELATING
THERETO; AND REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT
HEREWITH.
19. Zoning Request, NSU
President Moyer stated that he had received a copy of a
notice of hearing regarding a request for a change in
zoning on the south side of Tropicana from R-1 to C-1.
President Moyer recommended the University not oppose the
rezoning request but request the Clark County Commissioners
to impose regulations which would require high quality
construction in good taste so as not to detract from the
community and be compatible with the Campus, and to provide
adequate parking.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
President Moyer referred to a master plan for the area
which has been presented to the Clark County Commission,
noting that the plan offers several alternatives to the
development in the front of the Campus. He stated that
the plan has not yet been adopted by the County Commis-
sioners and suggested that the University study the plans
and make recommendations to the Commission.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissent that a Committee of Regents be appointed
and authorized to discuss total planning with the Com-
missioners.
20. Reports on Improving Instructional Excellence, UN
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that the Board had requested
that reports be filed concerning activities in the various
Colleges directed toward improvement of instruction, add-
ing that NSU reports had been received and discussed by
the Board at its meeting on May 11.
President Miller referred to reports from each of the UN
Colleges which had been forwarded with the agenda. There
was consensus by the Board that the reports were thorough
and informative. Special note was taken of the fact, as
revealed by the reports, that each College or School em-
ploys somewhat different procedures in evaluating the
effectiveness of its teaching personnel and programs.
There was agreement that this was desirable.
21. Requirement for Medical Examinations of Student Teachers
President Miller noted that on May 11 the Board considered
a proposal that physical examinations be required of all
student teachers prior to their assignment to a public
school. Action was deferred pending additional information,
specifically the type and extent of health examination to
be required. President Miller referred to a Health Certifi-
cate used by the State of Nevada, Department of Education,
Bureau of Certification, and recommended that the health
examinations of student teachers meet the requirements of
the State Certificate (copy filed with permanent minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the President's
recommendation for University of Nevada student teachers,
effective with the Fall semester, 1968-69.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
22. Change in Titles of Associate Degree Programs, College of
Agriculture, U. N.
President Miller presented a request from the College of
Agriculture that its present Associate of Arts in Home
Economics degree title be changed so that the 3 programs
now offered in Home Economics might be clearly identified.
The 3 programs involved would be as follows:
Associate of Science in Food Service Management
Associate of Arts in Fashion Trades
Associate of Arts in Pre-Kindergarten Education
Chancellor Humphrey concurred in the proposal and recom-
mended approval, effective immediately.
Motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
23. Control of Tax Free Alcohol
Chancellor Humphrey recommended adoption of the following
resolution to effect a change in the signature authority
for the control over use of tax free alcohol at UN.
RESOLUTION #68-9
RESOLVED, that Jim Jeffers, Jr., Director of Purchas-
ing, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada, be and hereby
is authorized to sign all forms and monthly reports
in connection with the permission of this University
to use tax free alcohol for scientific and mechanical
purposes in the Chemical Laboratory, for medicinal
use and in the treatment of patients in the Hospital
and for research, and that a copy of this Resolution
be forwarded to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division
of the U. S. Treasury Department, Internal Revenue
Service at San Francisco, California.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above resolution be adopted.
24. Plant and Property, UN
A. Mr. Pine reported that the State Planning Board has
recommended that Vhay & Ferrari be paid $8106.44 for
the preparation of plans for the lecture-demonstration
unit of the Mack Social Science building (not built
because of insufficient funds). Mr. Pine recommended
that after the sound system for the building is pur-
chased, at an estimated cost of $7000+-, the surplus
remaining in the construction account (approximately
$7200) be used to pave the parking area of the Physical
Science Complex.
Motion by Mrs. Knudtsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be ap-
proved.
B. Mr. Pine reported that the Nevada Fish & Game Commis-
sion had requested permission to place a 24' x 32'
Butler type building on the northwest corner of land
leased from the University at Valley Road Farm. He
stated that, in his judgment, the structure will conform
to the present Fish & Game building and will be similar
to a greenhouse building recently constructed nearby
by the University of Nevada.
President Miller and Chancellor Humphrey recommended
approval.
Motion by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, car-
ried without dissent that the request be granted.
C. Stead Campus - Mr. Pine reported that on June 27, 1968
the Office of Surplus Property Utilization, HEW, had
delivered to the University a deed for 327.887 acres
of land and 48 buildings at Stead. He noted that the
land and improvements become the University's exclusive
property without restriction at the end of 20 years of
approved use.
President Miller stated that this facility is a remark-
ably fine acquisition for the University System. He
noted that it has already received extensive use by
various components of the University and provides land
for additional expansion. He added that he would like
to publicly express appreciation to the people who have
worked in acquiring the area. He specifically noted
the efforts of Dean James T. Anderson and Mr. Edward
L. Pine.
Professor Mordy noted that it is not generally known,
even in the local area, that the total expenditures
at Stead are rapidly approaching $10 million, much
of which is going into the Reno economy.
D. Progress Report on UN Physical Plant Projects
Mr. Pine presented for information a progress report
for the University of Nevada and one prepared by the
State Planning Board for projects under their super-
vision (both reports filed in permanent minutes).
Mr. Pine noted that HEW has now given authorization to
bid the Physical Science Complex, Phase I, and the
information has been transmitted to the State Planning
Board. He added that the State Planning Board has
indicated that they wish to release the Legislative
Building Project first which will delay occupancy of
the Physical Science building until Spring 1971 in-
stead of the anticipated Fall of 1970. He requested
the Board to authorize the Administration to request
the State Planning Board to reverse the order and
release the University project first on the grounds
that this reverse order would not delay the Legisla-
tive Building but would allow the University to main-
tain its schedule.
President Miller and Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that Mr. Pine's recommendation be ap-
proved and the Administration authorized to make the
necessary approaches to the State Planning Board.
25. Award of Bids in Excess of $5000 (U. N.)

Dain's Rug & Carpet (Autron, as specfd.) 27,549.34
Key Carpet Co. 27,730.81
Con Rae Interiors (as specified) 41,440.52
Mr. Pine further noted that two bids were received
without bid bonds, from Carson Furniture and Dohrmann
Hotel Supply, and were rejected.
Mr. Pine stated that Key Carpet had challenged the bid
of Armanko Office Supply, based on the fact that their
contractor's license was not issued for the installa-
tion of carpet. The State Contractor's Board had also
informed the University that the license of Armanko's
permits only the installation of institutional equip-
ment.
Mr. Pine recommended that the bid of Dain's Rug & Carpet
Co. be accepted and the contract awarded in the amount
of $27,549.34 with the concurrence of the Attorney
General's Office.
President Miller and Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone,
carried without dissent that the above recommendation
be approved and the contract awarded to Dain's Rug &
Carpet Co. in the amount of $27,549.34.
26. Proposal for Naming of Buildings at Stead Campus
President Miller presented recommendations from a Faculty
Committee appointed to develop a proposal for the naming
of buildings on the Stead Campus. He reported that the
Committee had recommended that administrative and instruc-
tional buildings be named for Nevada representatives to
Congress and that residence halls be named after Nevada
lakes. He presented a list of proposed names for build-
ings under University control at the Stead Campus and recom-
mended its approval.
By consensus, this proposal was deferred until a subsequent
meeting to permit more time to review the proposed names.
27. Change in Meeting Dates
Chancellor Humphrey reported that 9 affirmative responses
had been received to a mail request that the August meeting
dates be changed to August 29-30, 1968. He recommended
formal confirmation of the change.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Dr. White, carried
without dissent that the change in dates as approved by
mail ballot be formally confirmed for the record.
Chancellor Humphrey also recommended that the schedule of
meetings for the remainder of the year be reconsidered in
view of the late August meeting. He suggested the Board
consider deleting the September meeting and moving the
October meeting to October 4-5 to permit staff to attend
the American Council on Education meeting in Denver on
October 9-11. He recommended the November and December
schedule be maintained.
Following discussion of the proposed meeting dates, it was
moved by Mr. Ronzone, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, that the
schedule for the remainder of the year be established as
follows:
August 29-30 University of Nevada
October 4-5 Nevada Southern University
November 8-9 University of Nevada
December 13-14 Nevada Southern University
It was also agreed that Vice Chancellor Mordy would pursue
the possibility of arranging for the annual meeting of the
National Advisory Board to the Desert Research Institute
to be held in Las Vegas during the October 4-5 meeting of
the Board of Regents and that the possibility of changing
the November date would be explored by Chancellor Humphrey.
28. Designation of Independent Auditors for Fiscal Year 1967-68
Mr. Humphrey recommended that the Board of Regents designate
the firm of Kafoury, Armstrong, Bernard and Bergstrom as
the independent auditors for fiscal year 1967-68.
Motion by Mr. Seeliger, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
29. Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association
Chancellor Humphrey reported that the U. N. and N. S. U.
Senates have both requested that the University Adminis-
tration and the Board of Regents seek legislation which
would make it possible for individual faculty to elect to
substitute a retirement plan from TIAA for the Public
Employees Retirement System of Nevada. Their request is
that the faculty have the option to join either system,
and if they choose TIAA the same premium be paid by the
University as is paid for participation in the State plan.
Presidents Miller and Moyer both endorsed the Senates'
proposals.
Mr. Humphrey recommended that this request be approved and
work begun on drafting necessary legislation and preparing
explanations for legislative use.
Motion by Mr. Mc Dermott, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
30. Amendment to Policy on Fee Waivers for Professional Staff
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the Board of Regents had,
on April 28, 1962, upon recommendation of President Arm-
strong, and with the advice and approval of the Attorney
General, approved the granting of tuition and fee waivers
for professional staff and graduate assistants as a con-
dition of their employment contract, and an in-service
training waiver system for classified and technical em-
ployees. He further noted that amendments to that policy
have been approved at various times by the Board of Regents.
Mr. Humphrey submitted a revised policy statement on fee
waivers, reflecting all revisions required by previous
action of the Board, together with several amendments to
the policy suggested by the Coordinating Council. He
called particular attention to paragraph I. B. 1, recom-
mended by the Coordinating Council and an alternate para-
graph recommended by the Chancellor and concurred in by
the two Presidents.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the revised
statement with the alternate paragraph I. B. 1 (filed
with permanent minutes).
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried
without dissent that the revised statement be adopted with
the alternate paragraph I. B. 1 incorporated.
31. Funds for Ad Hoc Committee on Administrative Reorganization
Chancellor Humphrey reported that in November, 1967, an ac-
count of $2500 was established to provide traval funds for
non-administrative members of the Ad Hoc Committee on
Administrative Reorganization. He noted that at that time
it was anticipated that the Committee would not remain
organized longer than January, 1968; however, it was re-
quested to continue and an additional $1991.73 is required
to pay Committee expenses.
He recommended a transfer of $1991.73 be made from the
Board of Regents Special Projects Fund (1-51-4056) and the
account closed. He further recommended that the Committee
be discharged with thanks.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissent that the transfer of funds be approved as
recommended and that the Committee be discharged with a
special note of commendation for its work.
32. 1969-71 Biennial Budget Method Review
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the 1969-71 budget request
would be presented to the Board in August. He added that
the use of program budget (or Program, Planning, Budgeting
Systems -- PPBS) justified the introduction and explanation
of certain procedures and presented a review to the Board
in preparation of their consideration of the budget re-
quest.
33. Chancellor's Report
A. Board of Regents Policy Manual - Mr. Humphrey noted
that the first draft of the policy manual was dis-
tributed to the Board of Regents several months ago.
He suggested that each of them review the manual and
write him concerning any comments they might have.
He would then bring back to them suggested modifications
or deletion of obsolete or outdated policy statements
and suggested drafts of missing policy statements.
By consensus, it was agreed that in addition to indi-
vidual study by the Regents, staff should review the
document for inconsistencies in the policy manual and
a meeting scheduled with Mr. Grant Davis.
B. Mr. Humphrey distributed copies of the revised By-Laws
of the Board of Regents, noting that it contained the
latest revisions adopted by the Board through June,
1968.
The meeting adjourned at 12:15 P.M.
