4. State Planning Board Agreements
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of two agreements
with the State Planning Board whereby the Board of Regents
agrees to provide the non-appropriated funds for the
construction of the Physical Education facilities at UNR and
UNLV (agreements filed with permanent minutes, identified as
Ref. 4).
5. Estimative Budgets, UNS
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the Estimative
Budgets for 1971-72 as distributed with the agenda.
Mr. Morris moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr. Anderson,
carried without dissent.
6. Chapter 13, Title 4, Board of Regents Handbook
Chancellor Humphrey submitted a draft of Chapter 13, Title
4, of the Board of Regents Handbook, including general pol-
icy statements concerning assessment of fees which are sub-
ject to Board approval, together with detail concening cur-
rent fees and expenses. He noted that although the draft
did not contain new policy, reference dates of Board ap-
proval could not be traced for some statements. He recom-
mended that the Board reaffirm the policies reflected in
Ref. 6, and amended by Ref. 6A and 6B (all references filed
with permanent minutes) and that the dates of July 16-17,
1971 hereafter become the reference dates for those sec-
tions where a reference date is missing.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs.
Knudtsen, carried without dissent.
7. Amendment of Board Policy
A. Chancellor Humphrey noted that Board of Regents policy
adopted November 11, 1967, directs that "all students
receiving a waiver of out-of-state tuition shall also be
granted a waiver of fees." (Such waivers are now called
"grants-in-aid".)
The Presidents and Chancellor Humphrey recommended that
this provision be amemded to provide that a student
receiving a grant-in-aid for the payment of out-of-state
tuition may, at the discretion of the President or his
designee, also receive a grant-in-aid for the payment of
registration fees; however, such an award shall not be
automatic.
Mr. Hug moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Morris,
carried without dissent.
B. Chancellor Humphrey noted that in May, 1964, the Board
directed that "Recipients of in-state fee waivers who
reside outside the Reno-Las Vegas metropolitan areas
shall be given additional $150 which would be roughly
equivalent to the cost of a room in the University resi-
dence halls per semester and the additional expense of
board at the University rather than at home."
Chancellor Humphrey pointed out that this provision has
never been implemented because of lack of funds. The
Presidents and the Chancellor recommended that this
action by the Board be rescinded and the policy codifi-
cation be deleted from the Board's Handbook.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Hug, carried without dissent.
8. Purchases in Excess of $5,000
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that authority be granted to
the Presidents for the period July 17 to September 10, to
approve purchases in excess of $5,000 which cannot conven-
iently wait until the September meeting.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval with the stipulation that a
report of all such purchases would be submitted to the Board
in September. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent.
9. Transfers from Contingency Reserve
Chancellor Humphrey reported the following transfers from
the Contingency Reserve of less than $2,000:
#349-UNR $609.84 from Continency Reserve to College of
Business Administration, Dean's Office Operating,
to provide funds for payment of accreditation
expenses.
#354-UNR $1,200 from Contingency Reserve to President's
Office Operating to cover $750 dues to the In-
stitute of European Studies and operating expen-
ses for the balance of the 1970-71 fiscal year.
10. Item Postponed from May Meeting
A. Administrative Procedures Related to Initial Employment
of Faculty.
B. Administrative Review of Faculty Member before Being
Granted Tenure.
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that these items were tabled at
the May meeting for consideration at the July meeting. He
noted that further discussion has occurred within the Chan-
cellor's Advisory Cabinet and it is the recommendation of
Presidents and the Chancellor that item be considered at a
later time in conjunction with revisions of the University
Code.
Mr. Morris moved approval of the recommendation. Motion
seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without dissent.
11. Schedule of the Committee of the Whole
Chancellor Humphrey reported items planned for presentation
at the July meeting of the Committee of the Whole were re-
scheduled, at President Miller's request, for the October
meeting.
12. Revision of the University Code
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that approximately three years
ago the Board of Regents requested the faculties of the Uni-
versity to work on a revision of the Code in order that it
might conform to the new System organization. There was
general agreement there would be a separate chapter for
each Division of the University and the chapter concerning a
Division would not be subject to review by other Divisions.
It was also understood there would be a chapter concern-
ing the System and System-Wide policies which would be sub-
ject to review by all Divisions. Final approval of the Code
would, of course, be the perogative of the Board of Regents.
Chancellor Humphrey noted material has now been received
from all four Division faculties and the Faculty of the Off-
ice of the Chancellor (material received from UNR had not,
he noted, had final approval from that faculty). Chancellor
Humphrey continued by noting that these separate documents
have been worked into a consolidated document identified as
"Draft No. 1A, June 11, 1971". Discussion of the draft doc-
ument has begun in the Chancellor's Advisory Cabinet and a
special meeting is scheduled for September 9, in Las Vegas,
to further review the material.
Chancellor Humphrey pointed out that a great deal of work
needs to be done before this document is ready for consider-
ation by the Board; however, transmittal of the draft docu-
ment at this time will serve to inform the Board of the pro-
gress of the project and will give the individual Regent an
opportunity to review the material in its present form and
perhaps simplify the task of dealing with the document when
it is ready for consideration. Target date for presentation
of a document to the Board for action is December, 1971.
It is agreed that an informational agenda item on the pro-
gress of this revision would be desirable at the September
meeting.
13. UNR Graduates, June 1971
President Miller presented a list of 587 students approved
by the faculty of each College concerned and by the appro-
priate University officials for graduation from UNR, June 5,
1971 (list filed with permanent minutes).
14. Proposed Academic Calendar for 1972-73, UNR
President Miller presented an academic calendar for 1972-73
as proposed and approved by the UNR faculty by a vote of 184
to 48 with recommendation for approval. Proposed calendar
identified as Ref. 14 and filed with permanent minutes.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Morris, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried without
dissent that the calendar be adopted as presented.
15. Preliminary Plans, Athletic Fields, UNLV
President Zorn introduced Mr. Gerald Moffitt who presented
the preliminary plans for the UNLV Athletic Fields. Mr.
Moffitt stated that it is anticipated that the project will
be ready for bid in early Fall. Final plans will be ready
for Board review September 10.
President Zorn recommended approval of the preliminary plans
as presented. Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
Motion by Mr. Morris, seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, carried
without dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
16. Disqualification Policy
President Miller presented, with his recommendation for
approval, Class A Action Bulletin 70-71 #28, proposing a
change in the disqualification policy at UNR (policy change
approved by the Undergraduate Council by a vote of 14-1).
The proposal provides that:
A disqualified student may register only as an auditor
or in a noncredit course. After a period of five years
from the date of disqualification, the student may ap-
ply for readmission by filing a letter of appeal with
the Admissions and Readmissions Board. The Board will
consider each case on its own merits, and no individual
case will be considered as establishing a precedent.
If the student's appeal is upheld, he may register for
credit in Summer School or correspondence study at the
University of Nevada. Upon completion of 12 acceptable
semester credits with a GPA of 2.5 or above, the stu-
dent will be readmitted on probation.
President Miller noted that the present policy is a dis-
qualified student is permanently excluded from registration
for credit in any course offered by the University. Chan-
cellor Humphrey recommended approval.
There was a discussion of the time period specified with
general consensus that a shorter period of time might be
desirable.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval of the proposal with the amend-
ment of the time period from 5 years to 2 years. Motion
seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried without dissent.
17. Minimum Degree Requirements
President Miller recommended approval of a change in the
minimum degree requirements at UNR from 120 credits plus
Physical Education and Military Science to 128 credits, with
Physical Education and Military Science courses counted on
the same basis as other courses in meeting the graduation
requirements set by each program at UNR; i. e., increasing
the number of credits from 60 to 64, with Physical Education
courses counted on the same basis as other courses in meet-
ing the graduation requirements set by each College.
President Miller reported the faculty vote on this issue
was 140 to 80. Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Dr. Anderson moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Mc Dermott.
Because of a number of questions raised in the discussion
following, President Miller recommended this matter be de-
ferred until the October meeting.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved that the matter be deferred until Octo-
ber. Motion seconded by Mr. Morris, carried without dis-
sent.
18. Changes in English Requirement
A proposal by the UNR faculty for a change in the English
requirements at UNR was included with the agenda (identified
as Ref. 17A and filed with permanent minutes). President
Miller submitted a recommendation for modification of the
UNR Senate proposal (identified as Ref. 17B and also filed
with permanent minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the President's
recommendation, effective Fall semester, 1971, which pro-
vides as follows:
(1) English A be dropped.
(2) The University requirement in English be satisfied by
completion of English 102 or equivalent.
(3) Entering Freshmen be placed by ACT English scores as
follows:
a) Below 19, 101W, 3 cr. (A regular 101 course meet-
ing MWF staffed by a regular faculty member or ex-
perienced teaching fellow meeting the class MWF,
and a new or inexperienced teaching fellow meeting
the class TThF. This has the advantage of suppyl-
ing in-service supervised training for our new and
inexperienced teaching fellows.)
b) 19-24, 101R, 3 cr. (Simply the regular 101 course,
meeting MWF.)
c) Above 24, waive 101 and place directly in 102.
(4) Students completing 101 with grade of A or B may, with
the approval of their advisors, substitute one of the
following for English 102:
Engl. 291 Introduction to Literary Study 3 cr.
Engl. 281 Introduction to Language 3 cr.
Engl. 241 Survey of American Literature 3 cr.
Engl. 235 Survey of British Literature I 3 cr.
Engl. 236 Survey of British Literature II 3 cr.
Engl. 321 Advanced Expository Writing 2 cr.
Engl. 335 Great Books I 3 cr.
Engl. 336 Great Books II 3 cr.
Phil. 105 Introduction to Logic 3 cr.
Phil. 221 Ethical Theories 3 cr.
Phil. 222 Existentialism 3 cr.
Phil. 225 Philosophy of Art 3 cr.
Jour. 221 News Gathering & Writing 3 cr.
Spch. 217 Argumentation & Debate 3 cr.
Spch. 218 Argumentation & Debate 3 cr.
Spch. 221 Interpretation 3 cr.
Dr. Harvey, Chairman of the English Department, and Dr.
Mozingo, Chairman of the Faculty Senate, expressed agreement
with President Miller's modification.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Hug,
carried without dissent.
The Board expressed general agreement with this change in
the English requirements and suggested that the English
Department should be commended in developing this program.
19. Distribution of Grants-in-Aid, UNR
President Miller recommended that the 101 grants-in-aid for
tuition and for registration fees, of the total of 202
approved by the Board for UNR, be allocated as follows:
46 (or 23% of all grants) for Music and
55 (or 27% of all grants) for academic recognition,
foreign students and University service.
101 grants-in-aid (or 50% of all grants) were allocated to
athletics in the Work Program for 1971-72.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Morris, carried without
dissent that the above recommendation be approved.
20. Bob Davis Scholarships
President Miller and Chancellor Humphrey recommended that
Chapter 20, Title 4, Codification of Board Policy State-
ments, be amended by the addition of the following para-
graph to Section 3:
5. That portion of the Bob Davis Scholarship Fund assigned
to the Educational Opportunity Program at UNR may be
awarded the first time to a student whose cumulative GPA
is 2.0 or above and whose most recent semester GPA is
2.0 or above and may be awarded to such student a second
semester even if his most recent semester his GPA is
below 2.0 (provided he is eligible to remain in school
and is registered for at least 12 credits); however, to
receive the award a third semester the student must have
earned a GPA of 2.1 or better in 12 credits or more his
second semester on the program and have recovered his
cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better.
President Miller and Chancellor Humphrey also recommended
that this policy be reviewed in 1972 after one year of ex-
perience has been gained.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved approval of the proposed amendment.
Motion seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried without dissent.
The meeting adjourned for lunch at 12:00 noon and arrangements
made to reconvene in the Travis Lounge of the Student Union
at 3:00 P.M.
The Board of Regents reconvened in regular session in the Travis
Lounge at 3:10 P.M. In addition to those members present during
the morning session, Dr. Lombardi was in attendance.
21. ECC Instructional Building
President Donnelly introduced Mr. Hewitt Wells, who discuss-
ed the status of the preliminary plans. Mr. Mike Marfisi,
Chairman of the ECC Advisory Board, and Mr. William Hancock,
Manager, State Planning Board, were also present. Mr.
Marfisi spoke concerning the recommendation of the ECC
Advisory Board. Specifically he noted that his Board had
not had an opportunity to review the revised preliminary
plans. Also, he expressed reservations about giving up the
existing facility (i. e., the building leased from Elko
County Schools). He suggested that the building be retained
even after the new facility is complete and efforts be made
to obtain sufficient money to support the second facility.
Dr. Donnelly stated that the Administration believes the
total program can be adequately accommodated in the new
facility and the leased building can be allowed to revert to
the School District.
Chancellor Humphrey pointed out that when this item was
scheduled for Board of Regents review, it was assumed that
agreement had been reached; however, since that apparently
is not the case, he suggested this matter be rescheduled for
September.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved that this matter be tabled until the
September meeting. Motion seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissent.
Following a short adjournment, Dr. Lombardi moved that if
some agreement is reached prior to September, the Plant and
Property Committee be authorized to approve preliminary
plans so project may proceed. Motion seconded by Mrs.
Knudtsen, carried without dissent.
22. Revenue Bond Resolutions
Chancellor Humphrey recommended adoption of the following
resolutions to permit sale of $4,250,000 in revenue bonds
for the UNR Physical Education building and $2,500,000 for
a UNLV Physical Education building:

23. Revision of Policy for Certain Applicants
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in September, 1969, the
Board of Regents adopted a policy statement on admission of
applicants with criminal records or psychiatric problems.
This statement was distributed as Faculty Policy Bulletin
#69-8 (identified as Ref. 18A and filed with permanent min-
utes). In July, 1970, the Board requested UNR and UNLV
Faculty Senates to review this policy.
President Miller reported the following action by the UNR
Faculty Senate:
(A) The Senate recommends that the portion of the Faculty
Policy Bulletin #69-8 which pertains to applicants for
admission who have had psychiatric care be rescinded.
The question regarding psychiatric care will remain on
the medical history form for the information and guid-
ance of Student Health personnel.
(B) The Senate recommends that the portion of Faculty Pol-
icy Bulletin #69-8 which pertains to applicants with
criminal records be changed as shown below:
The present application form containing the question:
"If you have ever been convicted of a felony, or re-
peated misdemeanors, other than traffic violations,
explain" should be replaced by the following question:
"Have you been convicted or incarcerated as a result of
conviction during the last five years for any of the
following offenses: assault with intent to commit a
crime, felonious assault, criminal homicide, mayhem,
kidnapping, attempted murder, forcible rape, arson,
robbery, child molestation or abuse, sale of narcotics
or dangerous drugs?"
(1) Any applicant answering the question affirmatively
shall be referred to screening committee appoint-
ed by the Dean of Students who shall review each
such application file and make a recommendation to
the Director of Admissions for final action.
a) The screening committee shall be authorized to
establish procedural guidelines subject to the
approval of the President.
b) The composition of the screening committee and
the background information required will vary
with the type of case being considered.
(2) Action taken by Director of Admissions is final
subject to appeal to the President.
(3) The University reserves the right to request the
withdrawal of any student whose continuance is
considered detrimental to his or her health or the
health of others, whose conduct is unsatisfactory.
President Miller recommended adoption of the above changes.
Chancellor Humphrey concurred.
In response to a question concerning the reasons for inclu-
sion of specific crimes and the apparent exclusion of other
major crimes, Judge Laurance Hyde, speaking for the commit-
tee which had developed the recommendations, stated that it
was the committee's position that the University should only
concern itself with crimes against the person.
It was agreed that recommendations 1 and 2 be considered
separately.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved the question concerning psychiatric
care be deleted from the admission application and remain
only on the medical history form. Motion seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
Mr. Morris moved that the recommendation concerning appli-
cants with criminal records be tabled until September.
Motion seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, failed with three affir-
mative and four negative votes.
Mr. Hug moved that the recommendation be adopted with the
addition to the list of felonies of possession of narcotics.
Motion seconded by Mrs. Knudtsen.
Mr. Morris moved to amend to add possession or sale of
marijuana. Motion to amend seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott,
failed with three affirmative and four negative votes.
Mr. Morris moved to amend to add larceny and burglary. Mo-
tion to amend seconded by Mr. Mc Dermott, received four af-
firmative and three opposing votes and was declared to have
failed in that it did not receive five affirmative votes as
stipulated by the By-Laws.
Main motion failed with the following roll call vote:
Yes - Dr. Anderson, Mr. Hug, Mrs. Knudtsen, Mr.
Jacobsen
No - Dr. Lombardi, Mr. Mc Dermott, Mr. Morris
President Miller suggested since Robert's Rules of Order
provides that "an amendment of a pending question requires
only a majority vote for its adoption..", the amendment to
the above motion should be declared as approved. The Chair
agreed and the previous action of the Board in defeating the
main motion was rescinded. The motion to amend to add
larency and burglary was declared to have carried.
Mr. Morris moved to further amend the motion to add forgery
to the list of felonies. Motion to amend seconded by Mr.
Mc Dermott, carried with four affirmative and three negative
votes.
Main motion as amended then failed with the following roll
call vote:
Yes - Dr. Anderson, Mr. Hug, Mrs. Knudtsen, Mr.
Jacobsen
No - Dr. Lombardi, Mr. Mc Dermott, Mr. Morris
Mr. Hug asked that his vote be changed to No and stated that
he would ask for reconsideration on Saturday.
24. Accreditation of Program
President Miller reported the College of Business Admin-
istration, UNR, was granted accreditation of its master's
program in Business and Administration by the American
Association of Collegiate Schools of Business.
25. Reaccreditation, Department of Journalism
President Miller reported the American Council on Educa-
tion for Journalism has reaccredited the Department of
Journalism.
26. Center for Economic Education, UNR
President Miller reported that Mr. Paul S. Garwood, Chairman
of the Nevada Council on Economic Education has requested
that a Center for Economic Education be established at UNR
and has offered a grant of $6,500 for 1971-72 for support of
the Center, subject to the University provided $3,500 and
office space. Dr. Joseph A. Todd, a part-time faculty mem-
ber of the College of Business Administration and Executive
Director of the Nevada Council on Economic Education would
serve as Director of the UNR Center for Economic Education.
President Miller endorsed the request, provided the $3,500
from the Noble Getchell Endowment Income Account (29-6001).
Chancellor Humphrey noted that the account has a balance of
$4,057.94 and is unrestricted except that it is for use by
UNR. Chancellor Humphrey further noted that this is similar
to the creation of a new Department which, in conformity
with Board policy, may not receive final action until the
second meeting. He recommended that this be considered a
first reading and if approved, be resubmitted at the Septem-
ber meeting for a second reading and final approval.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved approval of the recommendation. Motion
seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried without dissent.
27. Office Administration Program
President Miller presented, with his endorsement, a proposal
from the College of Business Administration that students
who entered the Office Administration program in the Fall,
1970 be permitted to receive a UNR Associate of Arts degree
upon completion of program requirements even though these
students take their second year under the Community College
Division. This provision would apply only to students com-
pleting the requirements by June 30, 1973.
President Donnelly concurred in the above recommendation.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Morris, carried without dissent.
Mr. Hug left the meeting at 5:00 P.M.
28. Quarterly Report of Disciplinary Cases, UNR

tion occurred, ages of those involved, comparative cases for
the same period last year.

and Higher Schools. The former status was correspondent.
Dr. Donnelly explained that Candidates usually qualify for
Federally approved programs and the Veterans Administration
treats Candidates the same as fully accredited institutions.
The Northwest Association, he stated, recommends that stu-
dents' transcripts be evaluated as if from a fully accredit-
ed institution.
Dr. Donnelly continued by stating that the Commission has
not authorized ECC to proceed at this time with its self-
study but rather recommends the College be located on its
permanent Campus before the self-study is undertaken.

(Additional details of the proposal are included in Ref. 43,
filed with the permanent minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Morris, carried without dissent.
45. Swenson Avenue Right-of-Way
President Zorn reviewed the history of the negotiations on
Swenson Avenue right-of-way and made certain recommenda-
tions, as follows:
Since 1964 there has been a dedicated right-of-way
designated as Swenson Avenue which potentially would
cross the UNLV Campus on a direct line between Flamingo
and Harmon Avenues. Beginning in 1968 we have nego-
tiated with Clark County for abandonment of this road-
way, and on June 21 we received County acceptance of
a compromise on this issue.
Rather than have the Campus bisected by the original
right-of-way and its probable extension to Tropicana
Avenue, we have negotiated a rerouting generally re-
lated to the western periphery of the UNLV Campus.
Moffit and Mc Daniel, architects for the Physical Edu-
cation Complex, have confirmed that this relocation
will not interfere with construction of the related
athletic fields. Moreover, the several parcels of
land that would be severed from the Campus by the new
route would total no more than 22 acres, with the
probability that this acreage would have increased
value due to frontage on an improved street.
Enclosed you will find a map (map filed in Chancellor's
Office) which indicates the compromise route which
appears acceptable to both Clark County and to the
University. On June 21 the Board of Commissioners of
Clark County voted to vacate the existing dedication
for Swenson Avenue upon condition that the University
Regents give in exchange the right-of-way for the
relocated street in so far as they control the land
involved. It is understood that Clark County would
be obliged to negotiate for additional right-of-way
with private landholders in the vicinity of Naples
Drive and with the NSU Lane Foundation for that land-
holding. The County Engineering Department is current-
ly surveying the total right-of-way related to this
project, and specifications will be forwarded as soon
as available.
It is my recommendation that the University Regents ap-
prove this compromise so that we will have a definitive
settlement of this long-standing problem. This will
permit siting of the Physical Education buildings with-
out further delay and it will permit closure of the
partially contructed road on the site of the original
right-of-way.
President Zorn also requested approval of the Board for
authorization to execute the required grant deed for the
right-of-way. Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval.
Miss Thompson moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Mc Dermott, carried without dissent.
Chancellor Humphrey spoke of the difficult task of complet-
ing negotiations for this change in alignment, noting it had
been agreed to a number of years ago when the University had
no plans for development of the property in this area. He
stated that President Zorn, the Clark County Regents and
other friends of the University should be commended for
successfully negotiating this compromise with Clark County.
It was agreed that letters of appreciation should be written
on behalf of the Board of Regents to the Chairman of the
County Commission, the Chamber of Commerce Transportation
Committee and to Jim Cashman, President of the Chamber of
Commerce.
46. Item Missing
47. HUD-Clark County Housing Authority Proposal
President Zorn presented a proposal from the U. S. Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban Development and the Clark County
Housing Authority for further exploration of public housing
on UN property. (Proposal identified as Ref. 46 and filed
with permanent minutes.)
President Zorn recommended the Board authorize additional
study, leading to a complete revelation of all facts and
development of a recommendation. Chancellor Humphrey
concurred.
Mr. Morris moved that the recommendation for further study
be approved. Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried with
Mrs. Knudtsen, Dr. Anderson and Miss Thompson opposing.
48. Frenchman Mountain BLM Land
President Zorn recalled that in 1967 an application was
filed with the Bureau of Land Management, with Board of
Regents approval, for classification and lease of 4,800
acres in Clark County, located about 13 miles from UNLV near
Frenchman Mountain, to be used as an outside laboratory for
biological studies.
He reported that BLM has now segregated this land from dis-
posal in such a manner that it protects the natural habitat
of the area for study. BLM has requested the University
therefore, withdraw its application to lease. President
Zorn recommended the application be withdrawn. Chancellor
Humphrey concurred.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr.
Mc Dermott, carried without dissent.
49. Angel Peak Field Station
President Zorn recalled that in October, 1970 the Board
authorized negotiations with Clark County for facilities at
Angel Peak, the development of firm estimates of maintenance
and operating costs and when such information was available
the matter be referred back to the Board for action. He
noted that the inclusion in the agenda of a memorandum of
explanation from Dean Robert B. Smith to President Zorn, in-
cluding an estimate of the cost of modifying building #19
and furnishings. (Memorandum identified as Ref. 49, filed
with permanent minutes.) President Zorn recommended the
Board approve leasing building #19, without cost, except for
repairs and furnishings, for a period of three years and
the location be used as a field outpost for the College of
Sciences and Mathematics, UNLV. He noted that a separate
budget for operating the station would be included in the
1972-73 Work Program.
Chancellor Humphrey endorsed the President's proposal and
recommended that the necessary remodeling and furnishings
costs be paid from UNLV 1971-72 budgeted funds and that the
operating costs of the station be borne by the College of
Sciences and Mathematics budget as work programmed.
Mr. Morris moved approval. Dr. Lombardi seconded, carried
without dissent.
50. Signature Authority, UNLV Bank Accounts

additional registration grants-in-aid.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Anderson, carried without dissent.
53. Admission of Community College Transfers to UNR, UNLV
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in June, 1970, the Board
of Regents, upon recommendation of ECC Advisory Board and
Presidents Donnelly, Miller and Zorn, adopted a policy which
allows any student graduating from ECC in an Associate of
Arts or Associate of Science program to be admitted to ei-
ther UNR or UNLV as a regular student in a baccalaureate
program with transfer credit granted for courses which are
equivalent to those offered in the baccalaureate programs at
the Universities.
Presidents Donnelly, Miller, Zorn and Chancellor Humphrey
recommended this provision to be extended to graduates of
any of the Community College Division Campuses.
Mr. Mc Dermott moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, carried without dissent.
54. Environmental Studies Program, DRI
President Ward recalled that upon the recommendation of the
DRI National Advisory Board the Board of Regents in July,
1970, established a Systemwide Environmental Quality Program
(name later changed to Environmental Studies Program) to be
administered within DRI. In the Summer of 1970 two repre-
sentatives each from UNLV, UNR and DRI were named to a Com-
mittee to be in charge of the program.
Dr. Ward continued by stating that because he believed that
it is not feasible for a committee to run a research project
or program, he recommended the following changes:
(1) That a well-established environmental scientist from
outside the University of Nevada System be appointed as
Program Director of the Environmental Studies Program.
That the duties of this individual will include the
coordination, where possible, of research and academic
programs between UNLV's Environmental Studies Center,
UNR's Environmental Studies Board and the Environmental
programs within DRI without affecting the autonomy of
the programs at UNLV, UNR and DRI. The main objective
of the Program Director would be to develop a System-
wide approach to all aspects of environmental studies.
(2) That the present Environmental Studies Committee be
abolished and an Advisory Environmental Studies
Committee be established to advise with the Program
Director. That this latter committee be composed of
six individuals; the Director and his designate of
UNLV's Environmental Studies Center, the Director and
his designate of UNLV's Environmental Studies Board
and two individuals from the DRI.
Chancellor Humphrey endorsed President Ward's recommenda-
tion, except for the stipulation that appointment of the
Program Director be from outside the University of Nevada
System. He recommended that no restriction be placed upon
recruitment which would exclude present System faculty.
President Miller and President Zorn expressed support of the
recommendation, stating that it is considered essential that
there be some coordination to avoid duplication of effort.
Mrs. Knudtsen moved approval of President Ward's recommenda-
tion as endorsed and modified by Chancellor Humphrey. Mo-
tion seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried without dissent.
55. Transfers to Effect UNLV Reorganization
President Zorn noted the Board of Regents had approved a
reorganization of UNLV in May which necessitated some trans-
fers of funds between operating accounts. The appropriate
accounts have now been identified and he recommended a total
of $112,800 to be transferred as indicated in Ref. 53, filed
with permanent minutes. Chancellor Humphrey recommended
approval.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Miss
Thompson, carried without dissent.
56. Site Improvement, UNLV
A report from the State Planning Board on the current status
of this project was included with the agenda (identified as
Ref. 54 and filed with permanent minutes).
Chancellor Humphrey noted that preliminary plans are due on
this project August 14 and final plans expected October 14.
In order to allow the project to proceed, President Zorn and
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that the Board authorize
consideration and approval of the preliminary plans by ei-
ther the Plant and Property Committee or an Ad Hoc Committee
of District Two Regents.
Mr. Morris moved that an Ad Hoc Committee of District Two
Regents be authorized to approve the preliminary plans.
Motion seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried without dissent.
57. Sale of Land to State Highway Department
President Miller recalled that in June, 1970, the State
Highway Department offered $71,130 for 20.38 acres of land
on the Main Station Farm, Washoe County, required for
construction of Ring Road. The offer was rejected by the
University; however, right of entry was granted subject to
certain conditions and the Administration was authorized to
negotiate with the Highway Department.
President Miller continued by noting Vice President Pine has
completed negotiations and recommends that 11.51 acres be
sold for a total price of $71,130. This price has been
reviewed by William H. Murray, M. A. I., who also recommends
acceptance.
President Miller requested approval of the sale and dedica-
tion of the net proceeds of the sale to Max C. Fleischmann
College of Agriculture for new facilities. Chancellor
Humphrey recommended approval by the Board.
Dr. Lombardi moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Morris,
carried without dissent.

dissent.
60. Memorial Statement for Dr. Floyd Scritchfield
President Zorn reported the death of Dr. Floyd Scritchfield,
member of the faculty of the College of Education, UNLV, and
requested adoption of the following memorial statement:
The Regents of the University of Nevada System express
sincere sorrow over the death of Dr. Floyd Scritchfield,
55, Professor of Secondary Education in the College of
Education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Dr. Scritchfield, who joined the staff in 1959, was one
of the pioneers on the early development of the Uni-
versity and the Teacher Education Program at the Las
Vegas Campus. He contributed significantly in the
areas of curriculum development, the overall teacher
preparation program and served as the Chairman of the
Division of Education and Physical Education during
the 1961-62 academic year. More recently he coordinat-
ed the Philosophical and Sociological Foundations of
Education in the Department of Professional Studies.
He was considered a scholar in the field of preparation
and worked diligently to improve the quality of teacher
education throughout the nation. Both his colleagues
and his students will miss him greatly.
The Board of Regents extends its sincere sympathy to
the surviving members of his family.
Mr. Morris moved approval of the above memorial statement.
