UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
BOARD OF REGENTS
July 24, 1964
The Board of Regents met in the President's Office, Clark Ad-
ministration building, Reno Campus, on Friday and Saturday,
July 24-25, 1964. Present: Regents Anderson, Davis, Germain,
Grant, Hug, Jacobsen, Lombardi (from noon on), Magee, White;
Vice President-Finance Humphrey, Engineer Rogers, President
Armstrong. Members of the Press were Laxalt, Dromiack, Glendon,
Stewart, Wilson.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Grant at 9:20 A.M.
to hear budget presentations for the biennium 1965-67.
President Armstrong explained that budget requests originated
within the Departments with the faculty and Department Chairmen,
and were transmitted to the Dean of the College for review and
modification. The Deans forwarded the requests to the President,
at which point the Vice President-Finance, and the Executive Vice
President analyzed the requests and reviewed them with the Pres-
ident. Following that, there were formal hearings with the Deans
at which Mr. Humphrey, Dr. Young, Mr. Barrett, Director of Admin-
istration (State), and a member of his staff, Mr. Terrill, Leg-
islative Fiscal Analyst, and a member of his staff, were present.
Following the hearings, the President went over the budgets again
with Mr. Humphrey and Dr. Young and formulated the budget request
presented to the Regents as to what is reasonable, desirable,
needed and fully justified for presentation to the Legislature.
Each Dean received a copy of the budget, which was also mailed
to the Regents, and the Deans were told that if they wished to
request a review of any budget items, they could do so. Dean
Irwin asked for reconsideration of the budget for the Bureau of
Governmental Research, and it was sent to the Regents with the
President's recommendation for approval.
Dr. Armstrong also called attention to the fact that the budget
is built around the proposal to use out-of-state tuition for
capital improvements, in accord with previous action of the
Board. The Deans have been requested to indicate what adjust-
ments were necessary and how their program was handicapped due
to cutbacks in the last biennium.
Mr. Humphrey discussed the budget with the use of charts as
follows:
(1) Fulltime equivalent students (FTE)
(2) Location of fulltime-student-equivalency students,
Fall 1965
(3) 1965-67 budget by function
(4) Average total enrollment
(5) Budget by object, 1965-67
(6) Revenues
The hearings commenced at 10:10 A.M. with Dean Ralph A. Irwin
discussing the budgets for the College of Arts and Science, the
Psychological Service Center, the Bureau of Governmental Research
and the Center for Western North American Studies.

1. Minutes of Previous Meeting
Upon motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. Anderson, the
minutes of the meeting of May 30, 1964 were amended as
follows and approved unanimously:
Item 12 - Regents' Scholarships for Nevada Residents - page
126, last paragraph, changed to read: "An expedient first
step in expanding the scholarship program would seem to be
either a Regents' or State program of scholarships for in-
coming students who have graduated from Nevada High Schools,
or who are Nevada residents." Page 128, motion by Dr.
Anderson to adopt the scholarship program was amended to
include the following: "Establish up to a maximum of 20
registration fee waivers for American Indian students who
are Nevada residents or graduates of high schools in Nevada,
with continuation of the fee waivers to be contingent upon
the student's maintaining satisfactory academic standing.
They may be continued for four years' attendance at the
University. As in the provision for Nevada residents, stu-
dents from outside the Reno-Las Vegas metropolitan areas
would be given an additional grant-in-aid of $150 per sem-
ester which would be roughly equivalent to the cost of a
room in the University residence halls and the additional
expense of board at the University rather than at home.
These are to be included in the 3% limitation for fee
waivers and grants-in-aid as set forth in the previous mo-
tion by Dr. Lombardi."
2. University Budget for the 1965-67 Biennium
President Armstrong recommended approval of the budget as
presented, including the Bureau of Governmental Research.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the Proposed Budget for the 1965-67 Bien-
nium be approved as presented.
3. Approval of Check Registers
President Armstrong recommended approval of the Check
Registers, as submitted by Vice President-Finance Humphrey.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the Check Registers be
approved.
4. National Defense Student Loan Program for 1964-65 Fiscal
Year
President Armstrong presented the following report from
Mr. Humphrey:
We have been notified by the Bureau of Educational
Assistance Programs, Office of Education, U. S. Depart-
ment of Health, Education and Welfare, that our request
has been approved for Federal Capital Contribution of
$99,900 for the 1964-65 National Defense Student Loan
Program. This approval is subject to final appropria-
tion of funds by Congress. The advance firm commit-
ment is $32,290 but the final figure, based on previous
experience, should be close to the $99,900 approved.
In order to receive this money from the government it
will be necessary for the University to provide $11,100
as the "Institutional Capital Contribution". I recom-
mend that you request the Board of Regents to authorize
a transfer of up to $11,100 from the Garvey Rhodes Loan
Fund (1-61-5006) to the National Educational Act Student
Loan Fund (1-61-4001). This transfer can take place in
segments during the year as needed.
As of June 30, 1964, the Garvey Rhodes Loan Fund had a
loanable cash balance of $27,155.74 and $5,815.00 of
loans outstanding, for a total of $32,970.74 in the loan
fund.
President Armstrong recommended approval of the transfer.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the fund transfer be
authorized to provide the University's share in the National
Student Loan Program for 1964-65.
5. Fund Transfers
President Armstrong reported the following transfers of
less than $2000 from Contingency Reserve:
a) For Fiscal Year 1963-64
#257 $500 to Postage, Reno, to finish 1963-64.
#258 $250 to In-State Travel, Supervised Teaching,
College of Education, to provide sufficient
travel money to all supervision of practice
teachers.
b) For Fiscal Year 1964-65
#9 $110 to Civil Engineering Department, College
of Engineering, to provide for adjustment of
technical salary budget.
#14 $960 to Electrical Engineering Department,
College of Engineering, to establish a tempo-
rary lecturer position.
#16 $1757 to Office of Student Affairs, Reno, to
correct a mistake by the Business Manager in
the final work program in which an authorized
1/2 time clerical position was not funded.
#17 $1403 to Office of Student Affairs, Reno, to
provide operating monies needed due to assimila-
tion of Teacher Placement Office (not previously
budgeted here).
#21 $1250 to Radiological Safety Board, to provide
for student labor ($1.25 hour, 20 hours per week
for 50 weeks).
President Armstrong requested approval of the following
transfers of more than $2000 from Contingency Reserve:
a) For Fiscal Year 1963-64
#256 $2489.18 to Miscellaneous, Not Otherwise Class-
ified. This account was severly underbudgeted
in 1963-64. Main items covered by this transfer
are accreditation visits at Nevada Southern and
$1695.62 of water taxes for Boca Dam district.
#259 $3350.00 to Salaries, Supervised Teaching, Col-
lege of Education. There was an unusually large
number of student teachers to be supervised and
since only a part of these students are register-
ed in the College of Education, the budget es-
timates present a difficult problem.
b) For Fiscal Year 1964-65
#22 $3800.00 to Buildings & Grounds, Reno, Repairs,
to demolish old Gymnasium ($2600) and provide a
roof for rifle range which will be left in place.
Through oversight, the following transfers were not prev-
iously cleared through the Board of Regents. Dr. Armstrong
requested approval.
#137 $1000 from Geology-Geography Department, Mackay
School of Mines, (Professional Salaries) to
Buildings and Grounds, Reno (Repairs).
#138 $3000 from Nevada Mining Analytical Laboratory
(Professional Salaries) to Buildings and Grounds
(Repairs).
These two transfers were necessary to concentrate funds
needed to construct the "Neutron Vault" located below the
ground between the Mackay School of Mines building and the
Scrugham Engineering-Mines building.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the above fund transfers
be approved.

No. 3.
Item No. 1 - Preliminary Plans for the Radiological-Health
Research Project
Mr. Rogers reviewed the Preliminary Plans for the Radiologi-
cal-Health Research Project. These plans were developed by
Moffitt and Hendricks to meet the requirements of the Rad-
iological-Health Research staff. The fee for preliminary
design was paid by the Federal Government.
Mr. Jacobsen moved, Mr. Hug seconded, to approve the Pre-
liminary Plans; passed unanimously.
Item No. 2 - Intermediate Plans for Eight-Story Dormitory
Mr. Rogers reviewed Intermediate Plans for Eight-Story
Dormitory. Seldon and Steward, architects, have developed
some further details since preliminary design.

tion that this Dormitory be designated for use by
men.
Mr. Davis moved, Mr. Hug seconded, that the build-
ing be so designated; passed, with one dissenting
vote.
B. Mr. Germain moved, Dr. Lombardi seconded, that the
Dormitory be named "Nye Hall", honoring both the
county and the former Governor Nye. This was
passed with one dissenting vote.
C. Dr. Lombardi moved, Mr. Hug seconded, to recommend

Social Science Project which depicted the exterior appear-
ance.
Mr. Casazza of Lockard and Casazza reviewed the sketches
of the Physical Science Project which depicted the exterior
appearance.
Mr. Jacobsen moved, Mr. Hug seconded, that a decision on
these sketches be delayed, that the services of a consult-
ing architect be obtained, and that the Planning Board be
contacted concerning the retention of a consultant archi-
tect and if the Planning Board does not finance the con-
sultant's fee, the charge would be funded from an operating
account and that the consultant review the sketches with
the Building Committee of the Board of Regents on August
17th, P.M., if possible. The consulting architect would
be chosen and retained by the University Administration.
Passed unanimously.
Item No. 4 - Power Line Right-of-Way
Mr. Rogers presented a request for a right-of-way for a
power line to serve the two church properties in Las Vegas.
The Nevada Power Company has requested that the Board of
Regents grant a 6-foot wide right-of-way, 735 feet in
length, along the southern boundary of the two church
properties. This will allow construction of an overhead
pole line to serve the church properties.
Mr. Jacobsen moved, Dr. Lombardi seconded, that the Commit-
tee recommend to the Board of Regents that the right-of-way
not be granted, as all power lines will be placed under-
ground, and to instruct the Administration to notify the
church groups that the Board urges that the church groups
place their power lines underground. Passed unanimously.
Item No. 5 - School of Nursing Location
Mr. Rogers stated that the loction of the School was not
shown on the approved Master Plan and since the use of any
present Campus area would fail to meet at least one of the
following requirements, a study to purchase additional prop-
erty is recommended:
A. Located near Life Science Department
B. Located in an area which would allow expansion for
Nursing
C. Located near any future Medical School
Mr. Germain moved, Mr. Jacobsen seconded, that the Committee
recommend to the Board of Regents that, for the purpose of
making application for federal support of the construction
of the Nursing building, the building be located southeast
of Mackay Science Hall. Passed unanimously.
Item No. 6 - Architect Selection for School of Nursing
Building
Mr. Rogers reported that Mr. Edward Parsons has worked on
this project, having been retained by Dr. Orvis who donated
funds toward the accomplishment of it. Mr. Rogers had dis-
cussed the selection with Dean Elmore and they concluded
that Mr. Parsons should be considered to complete the de-
sign of the Nursing building.
Dr. Lombardi moved, Mr. Germain seconded, that the Committee
recommend to the Board of Regents that Mr. Edward Parsons be
selected to design the School of Nursing building. Passed
unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 2:25 P.M.
Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
Further discussion followed as to the implementation of
Item No. 3. Dr. Anderson proposed a meeting of the Build-
ing Committee with the consulting architect and then a meet-
ing of the consulting architect with the other architects,
but that the local architects be informed first that the
Regents are not satisfied with the plans. It was agreed
that this procedure be followed.
A meeting of the Regents' Building Committee was set for
the afternoon of August 17 (Monday) followed by a meeting
in the evening with the architects. It was noted that
the consulting architect may or may not be employed by
that date.

9. Estimative Budgets for 1964-65
Copies had previously been mailed to the Regents with the
following explanation and recommendation by the President:
"....estimative budgets will be used for those activities
which have fluctuating revenue sources and where the rate
of expenditure is usually tied closely to the current rev-
enues. If the estimated revenue materializes, then the
authorized expenditure may proceed without further approval,
the same as in appropriational budgets. If the revenues
are less, expenditures must usually be reduced. If reven-
ues are greater than estimated the expense of operation
will usually also be greater and the necessary amendments
can be effected. If the revenue is approximately as esti-
mated but the pattern of expenditure is to be changed,
amendment must also be effected.
"....The Board has, in the past, delegated to the President
authority to approve estimative budgets. I have previously
recommended that beginning with the fiscal year 1963-64 the
estimative budgets be submitted to the Board for approval
in order that the problems involved in this important part
of the University's operation be better understood. I also
recommend that the authority to amend these budgets continue
to be delegated to me in order that decisions can be made
quickly and that the Board not be forced to review unnec-
essary detail. I assure you that any substantial amendments
effecting policy will be referred to you and the year-end
report will clearly show any amendments made."
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the estimative budgets be approved, as
presented.

12. Placement Registration Fee
President Armstrong recommended approval of the following
change in existing Placement Registration Fee, as requested
by the Dean of Student Affairs, on the basis of discussions
with the Executive Vice President and the Deans in Student
Affairs, Agriculture, Arts and Science, Business Adminis-
tration, Education and Engineering (who have indicated no
ogjections as this service is optional).
1. Reduce the registration fee for teachers from the pres-
ent $5 per registrant to $3 per registrant effective
July 1, 1964.
2. Require the same $3 registration fee from all other
students and alumni who wish to register with the Place-
ment Office, effective July 1, 1964.
3. Require an additional $1 service charge from any of the
above registrants each time his credentials are re-
activated and updated, effective July 1, 1964.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously to approve the above Placement Registration
Fee structure, effective immediately.
13. Class A Action - Special Examination
President Armstrong recommended approval of the following
Class A Action, as approved by the Academic Council and
the University Council:
A regular, currently registered student not on probation
who can provide evidence that he has achieved the objec-
tives and covered the subject matter content of a course
listed in the catalog as a result of having taken a com-
parable course in a non-accredited education institution
or by systematic, independent study or by directly per-
tinent occupational experience may take an examination in
that course for University credit. The student must obtain
permission to take the examination from his Adviser, the
Dean of the College in which the student is enrolled, the
Instructor of the course and the Chairman of the Department,
and Dean of the College in which the course is offered.
Forms are available in the Office of Admissions. A fee of
$15 per credit hour shall be charged.
The result of the examination, in the form of a letter grade
from A to F shall be sent by the Instructor to the Office
of Admissions together with the completed examination. The
examination shall be kept on file in the Registrar's Office
where it may be examined by any faculty member. The grade
shall be recorded on the permanent record and treated as
any other grade.
The grade for a special examination must be filed by mid-
semester in order for the student to receive credit in that
particular semester. Before the beginning of the final
examination period, a report of all special examinations
that have been given during the semester will be sent to
the Chairman of the University Council by the Registrar.
Additional restrictions upon the use of special examinations
are:
(a) The student must apply for and take special examin-
ations during the first year in which he is regis-
tered at the University of Nevada. The Dean of the
College in which the course is offered may waive
this requirement in exceptional cases in which the
student has developed his skill or knowledge of
the course since initial registration at the Uni-
versity of Nevada.
(b) Senior students are not eligible for credit by
special examination.
(c) A total of not more than 15 credits may be obtain-
ed by special examination.
(d) Credit earned by special examination is not con-
sidered resident credit.
(e) Credit by special examination cannot be obtained
in a course which covers at an elementary level
the subject matter of a more advanced course for
which the student has already received credit.
(f) Credit by special examintion cannot be attempted
in a particular course more than once.
(g) Credit by special examination may not be obtained
in any course failed by the student nor in a
course which the student has audited.
(h) Credit by special examination will not be allowed
to a foreign student in foreign language and lit-
erature courses given in his native tongue which
are numbered below 300.
Motion by Dr. Lombari, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the above Class A Action be approved.
14. Fee Charges, Foreign Students
President Armstrong recommended approval of the following
policies relative to foreign students, which have been
approved by the Foreign Student Sub-Committee, the Student
Affairs Board, the Foreign Student Adviser, the Dean of
Student Affairs, the Director of Admissions, the Business
Manager, and the Executive Vice Present:
(1) Undergraduate students registered for 7 or more credits
and all foreign students (undergraduate or graduate)
must pay a Student Health Service fee of $8 per semes-
ter.
Graduate students, or regular part-time students, may
use this service by payment of the $8 per semester fee.
The Health Service ... facilities available.
(2) A group policy providing a maximum of $500 insurance
per accident is available to all students at a cost of
$3.50 per semester. This insurance covers all acci-
dents, except while participating in inter-collegiate
athletics, or while in an automobile, truck or motor-
cycle, occurring on or off Campus from registration
day to the last day of the semester. Undergraduate
students taking 7 credits or more, and all foreign
students (undergraduate or graduate) who cannot sub-
mit evidence of comparable coverage under a current
policy, will be assessed the insurance fee unless a
properly signed waiver is obtained from the Office
of Student Affairs not later than one day prior to
registration day.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously to approve the above policies.
15. Reorganziation - Statewide Services (General University
Extension)
President Armstrong recommended approval of the Proposed
Reorganization Plan which was presented to the Board at its
last meeting for study and later action.
On May 22, 1964, the Statewide Services Advisory Committee
completed its review of the sections of the report from
the Educational Planning Committee pertaining to Statewide
Services. The report here presented is a report from the
Committee, as well as certain detailed recommendations of
the Dean of Statewide Services, as noted.
PROPOSED REORGANIZATION PLAN FOR
STATEWIDE SERVICES
On May 22, 1964, the Statewide Services Advisory Committee
completed its review of the sections of the report from the
Educational Planning Committee pertaining to Statewide
Services. This is a report of the Committees', as well as
certain detailed recommendations of my own, in relation to
the organization and function of this division of the Uni-
versity of Nevada.
These recommendations will be classified under the following
headings:
I General Recommendations
II Evening Division
III Off-Campus Division
IV Continuing Education Division
V Technical Education Division
VI Correspondence Division
VII Summer Session
VIII Audio-Visual Communications
IX Associate Degree
X Summary
I. General Recommendations
The general recommendations refer to the overall
administration of Statewide Services and are im-
portant to its operation and understanding of the
program throughout the State of Nevada.
A. The name Statewide Services should be changed
to General University Extension. (Most of the
Universities and Colleges use this terminology
as does the National organization.)
B. A Dean should be the Administrator of General
University Extension and he should report di-
rectly to the President. (Approved by the Board
of Regents in the administrative reorganization
plan.)
C. The Dean of General University Extension should
be the Administrator of all programs normally
a part of General University Extension (many of
which are listed here) throughout the entire
State of Nevada. (At the present time some pro-
grams originate from the Nevada Southern Campus
which constitutes duplication of effort.)
D. A committee should be appointed to study the
feasibility of merging Cooperative Extension
and Statewide Extension to form a University
Extension Division. (An informal committee
has been meeting once a month since September
of 1963 to discuss this merger. Progress has
been made in more cooperation with County Agents
but no progress has been made in merging the two
divisions.)
E. Efforts should be made in the planning of perman-
ent facilities for continuing education, audio-
visual, radio, television, as well as a large
auditorium. (There are some plans along these
lines but they do not seem to be for the immed-
iate future.)
F. All courses and programs offered in Statewide
Services should have sufficient enrollment or
registration to cover all instructional costs
plus miscellaneous fees such as retirement and
NIC, and any indirect costs assessed against
that particular program. An Instructor may
teach a course with fewer persons than are nec-
essary to pay these costs but the salary should
be based on the total fees paid less the mis-
cellaneous costs, plus 10% indirect cost. (No
action taken.)
G. Waivers of fees should not be available in any
of the self supporting programs in any of the
divisions of Statewide Services. (No action
taken.)
These recommendations should not be interpreted to
cover any of the programs or activities of Cooper-
ative Extension.
II. Evening Division
The purpose of an evening division is to enable
qualified adults and high school graduates to con-
tinue their education primarily to upgrade them-
selves in their chosen vocation, or to receive a
College education which they have been unable to
obtain in the regular manner. Adult education
may take the form of a regularly planned program
which could lead to a degree; yet it can also take
the form of individual courses for cultural devel-
opment or of additional training in a particular
field. A student should not be precluded from com-
pleting a degree in the evening division programs,
but it is recognized that he should become a regular
student in order to derive the benefits of regular
students which he cannot otherwise obtain (counsel-
ing, advising, etc.). Therefore, the following
recommendations are made concerning evening division
programs on the University of Nevada Reno Campus.
A. Evening division courses should be classified
as those courses for which a faculty member re-
ceives extra compensation by letter of appoint-
ment issued by Statewide Services. All other
courses offered as a part of a faculty member's
regular load would be classified as a day course
regardless of the time at which such a course
would be offered. (Approved by the Academic
Council.)
B. A regular student who has paid the consolidated
fee may register in an evening division course
with the consent of his adviser and the Dean
of the College. Internal arrangements would be
made for payment of the fees to evening division.
Students wishing to enroll in courses which are
a part of a faculty member's regular load would
be expected to register through day school and
fees would be collected in the same manner as
for a regular student.
C. Special students, students carrying fewer than 7
semester hours of credit or equivalent in one
semester, but who register for both day and ev-
ening courses would be expected to pay the nec-
essary fees to both divisions but would register
in the regular day division registration. In-
ternal arrangement would be made for the identi-
fication and transfer of funds to the appropriate
account. (No action necessary.)
D. No limit is made on the number of credits a
student may earn in the special student category,
however a maximum of 15 semester credits only
are acceptable toward a baccalaureate degree.
Such students contemplating a degree program
should apply for official admission at the earli-
est possible date. (Approved.)
E. Any regular student taking courses in the eve-
ning division, whether undergraduate or graduate,
shall be assigned an adviser and shall have the
approval of that adviser before being accepted
in the evening division courses. Regular stu-
dents will be counted in the enrollment reports
of the Office of the Registrar. (No action
taken.)
F. Registration for evening division courses should
be a part of the registration procedure performed
as a function of the Office of the Registrar.
Evening division registration should be discon-
tinued the evening of the opening class in order
to determine if there is sufficient enrollment
to warrant holding such a class. Mail registra-
tion should be continued and encouraged. (No
action taken.)
G. Non-credit classes, currently a part of the eve-
ning division program, should be placed under
the category of continuing education. (No action
taken.)
H. The fees charged for evening division courses on
the Reno and Las Vegas Campuses should be $15 per
credit for graduate, undergraduate, resident and
non-resident students. (Approved.) Registration
for audit in a credit course should have the same
fee as that of a registration for credit. (No
action taken.)
I. Any student who wishes to do graduate work in
evening division must first be admitted to the
University of Nevada and show proof of their
acceptance prior to their registration for grad-
uate credit. Each applicant is responsible for
filing the required credentials with the Office
of Admissions, Reno, not later than three weeks
prior to the desired registration period. (Ap-
proved.)
J. At the present time, Statewide Services pays 10%
of its net income to the University General Fund.
The income from evening division enrollments has
not reched the point that salaries paid are
comparable to regular salaries. Until salaries
are on the same level in evening division as day
time salaries, it is believed that Statewide
Services should be exempt from this payment.
(No action taken.)
K. No courses shall be accepted for the evening
division program once the final proofs of the
class schedule for that period have been approv-
ed. (No action taken.)
L. All courses offered in the evening division
should have the approximate starting date as
those offered in the regular University program,
and should follow the rules and regulations of
the Universitty as well as the University cal-
endar. (No action necessary.)
M. The content of courses, as well as the instruc-
tion in these courses, shall be under the sup-
ervision of that College and Department in which
the course is offered. (No action necessary.)
N. Instructors who are not a regular members of the
faculty must have their qualifications to teach
a course approved by the Department and Dean of
the College in which the course is offered, and
the Graduate Dean if the course is to be offered
for graduate credit. (This practice is being
followed at present.)
O. Evening division students, upon payment of proper
fees, should be given a Library permit stamped
for use during that period of enrollment only.
(This practice is being followed at present.)
III. Off-Campus Division
Statewide Services, as the name implies, was develop-
ed to extend the opportunity of education from the
University of Nevada throughout the entire State.
Originally Las Vegas was a division of Statewide
Services. In recent years, with a different admin-
istrative organization, the question has arisen as
to which Campus should direct the off-campus pro-
grams in the Southern part of the State. It would
seem rather difficult to justify the expenditure of
funds necessary to duplicate personnel and operations
to have two Statewide Service programs when the one
division can serve both areas. Therefore, the fol-
lowing recommendations concerning off-campus evening
division are:
A. All off-campus courses offered beyond the bound-
aries of the Reno or Las Vegas resident Campuses,
except those courses which are a part of the
regular day program, should be under the admin-
istration of the Dean of Statewide Services.
(No action taken.)
B. Off-campus courses starting later than six weeks
after the beginning of the semester, or courses
ending after the close of the semester, will be
posted to the permanent record at the close of
the following semester. Students shall be noti-
fied prior to registration that transcripts will
not be available until the end of the period in
which the registrations are officially recorded.
(No action taken.)
C. All courses offered off-campus must be approved
by the Department Chairman, Dean of the College
and, when applicable, the Graduate Dean. (This
procedure is being followed at present.)
D. In the areas closely associated with Nevada
Southern, permission to offer an off-campus
course must come from the division Chairman, the
Dean of Nevada Southern and, when applicable,
the Graduate Dean. (No action taken.)
E. Students in off-campus courses may use a maximum
of 9 semester credits of graduate work towards a
degree. (Reaffirmed by Graduate Committeee.)
F. Adequate Library facilities must be provided for
off-campus upper division courses or graduate
courses. If such facilities are not provided,
the Instructor, the Department Chairman, the
Dean of the College and, if applicable, the Grad-
uate Dean (in consultation with the Dean of
Statewide Services and the Director of Libraries)
may reserve the right to refuse permission to
offer such courses. (No action taken.)
G. No off-campus courses will be offered where a
student may earn more than one credit per week.
(This procedure is being followed at present.)
H. The off-campus programs are not able to serve
the needs of the communities at the present
time because of increased costs. As in other
divisions of Statewide Services, 10% of the net
profit has been charged as an indirect cost,
such funds going into the General Fund of the
University. It is believed this charge should
be dropped so there will be more money to sup-
port the program. (This charge has been reduced
to 5%.)
I. Statewide Services needs the authorization to
contract directly with students to establish
fees as necessary to cover the cost of operat-
ing a course in a community, for a government
agency or with industry plus a 10% indirect
cost, the latter charge to be used in initating
new programs and raising salaries. (To the
Board of Regents for action.)
J. Statewide Services needs the authorization to
contract with Boards of Education, government
agencies, or industry for them to underwrite the
costs of offering courses plus a minimum of 10%
for indirect costs. The charges made would be
based on actual costs less student fees. (To
the Board of Regents for action.)
K. The salaries paid in off-campus Summer Sessions
should vary from those paid to resident Summer
Session Instructors since many of their costs
increase away from their residence. It is there-
fore proposed that salaries for in-state teaching
personnel be:
$200 per credit - 90 miles one way
$225 per credit - 91 - 200 miles one way
$250 per credit - over 200 miles one way
In addition, the above mentioned personnel would
be provided with a University vehicle when avail-
able, or paid at the rate of 7 cents per mile
round trip mileage for use of their own vehicles.
Out-of-state personnel would be paid 1/2 1st
class air fare from place of residence to the
teaching center, plus a salary of $250 per
credit. (Approved.)
L. Appropriated funds should be provided to support
the off-campus programs in the State of Nevada.
(No action taken.)
IV. Continuing Education
The title Special Projects and Institutes has been
used to cover a multitude of oeprations in a very
broad program. However, continuing education is one
of the more important aspects of an institution of
higher education since it is essential that most
people continue their education because of techno-
logical advances. Certificates would be issued on
successful completion of these programs.
A. Non-Credit Courses
Non-credit courses shall be defined as College-
level, or post high school courses that are
creditable toward a certificate or for the bene-
fit of an individual or group of individuals,
but do not carry credit towards an associate,
bachelor's or higher degree.
1. Non-credit courses may be offered at anytime
without regard to University registration
regulations. (This practice is being follow-
ed at present.)
2. The periods of instruction should be based on
credit hours for the purpose of defining sal-
ary. (This practice is being followed at
present.)
3. Fees charged for such courses shall be based
on estimated enrollment, salary for instruc-
tional staff, and indirect costs involved in
each individual course. (This practice is
being followed at present.)
4. Registration, collection of fees, and record
keeping shall be the responsibility of State-
wide Services. (This practice is being fol-
lowed at present.)
B. Conferences, Institutes, Workshops
Conferences, institutes and workshops are organ-
ized programs which may vary in approach or oper-
ation but basically have an educational format.
They may be financed through government grants,
private foundations, or fees charged partici-
pants. They are, however, for the most part a
continuing educational function.
1. All programs of this type on the Reno Campus
should be under the administration of the
Dean of Statewide Services. (To the Board
of Regents for action.)
2. All requests for these programs should be
made to Statewide Services and shall be sub-
ject to approval of the President. (To the
Board of Regents for action.)
3. Budgeting and financial arrangements should
be handled through the Office of Statewide
Services. (To the Board of Regents for
action.)
4. The Office of Statewide Services shall assume
responsibility for details on housing, meals,
registration, collection of fees, etc., ex-
cept when such progrms carry University cred-
it and then the collection of fees and regis-
tration shall be the responsibility of the
Office of the Registrar. (To the Board of
Regents for action.)
5. When such programs are financed by monies
wholly or in part from outside the Univer-
sity, indirect cost charges shall be admin-
istered by the Dean of Statewide Services.
(To the Board of Regents for action.)
6. Funds allotted to the indirect cost accounts
should be utilized:
(a) to stimulate and support desirable and
needed special programs which cannot be
supported, at least initially, from any
other source of funds.
(b) for equipment and instructional mater-
ials not provided for in grants, con-
tracts or departmental budgets.
(c) special needs for the implementation of
on-going programs. (To the Board of
Regents for action.)
C. Special Programs
Many institutions consider English "A" remedial
reading, reading improvement, study skill pro-
grams as a part of a special programs service.
At the present time, at least, it is believed
these programs, especially for entering students,
should be placed in the category of non-credit
courses and accordingly administered.
V. Technical Education
Technical Education differs from regular University
degree programs not from the standpoint of the level
of instruction but from the approach taken in teach-
ing such programs. University degree programs are
basically designed to teach theory and to develop
the abilities of a student to put this theory to work
with particular emphasis on planning and organiza-
tion. Technical education tends to approach the
practical or to teach an individual to do a speci-
fic task by relating the theory to that particular
program. Technical education should be separated
as much as possible (at least at this time) from
the degree programs of higher education but not to
the degree of lessening their quality of instruc-
tion. Therefore, the following recommendations are
made concerning technical education:
A. The requirements for faculty members in tech-
nical education differ from the requirements
of faculty members on regular academic status.
Therefore, the selection of these persons
should be a decision of the Director of Tech-
nical Education and the Dean of Statewide
Services in consultation with the President in
accordance with Federal and State regulations.
(No action taken.)
B. The Dean of Statewide Services should be the
administrative head of all post high school tech-
nical education courses or programs offered in
the State of Nevada by the University. This is
to insure that all programs or courses will re-
ceive equal recognition, have the same standards,
and can be supervised by one person, the Director
of Technical Education. (No action taken.)
C. Advisory committees should be established for
courses and programs, but such advisory commit-
tees should be on a voluntary basis, and no
financial benefits should be derived from such
an appointment. (This practice is being follow-
ed at present.)
D. Until such time as physical facilities are avail-
able for technical education programs, Univer-
sity, public school or other suitable facilities
should be used for instruction. It is not deemed
wise at this time to use University housing fa-
cilities, but there is no reason to believe that
student union and dining facilities could not be
used upon payment of proper fees. (No action
taken.)
E. Every attempt should be made, as soon as funds
are available, to develop associate degree pro-
grams of a technical nature, but until such time
they should remain as certificate programs. (No
action taken.)
VI. Correspondence Division
The Correspondence Division of the University of
Nevada has been in existence for many years. It is
expecially important to many people in this partic-
ular State who live in isolated communities where
they have no other higher education opportunities.
It is also a very valuable public relations asset
to the University.
Since 1955 all of the correspondence courses have
been revised or rewritten so they are more equivalent
in content to regular courses of instruction. All of
the courses are supervised and lessons graded by
faculty members. Many new courses have been develop-
ed to offer a wider range of selection to meet the
needs of persons interested.
Although the Educational Planning Committee report
disclosed some concern about correspondence, it is
believed that it is very important to the Univer-
sity and the people it serves and it would be a
great disservice to discontinue it until some other
method is found to provide this type of education.
Until such a method is found to replace correspond-
ence courses, the following recommendations are made
to insure quality education:
A. Studies should be made of possibilities of fur-
ther supplementing correspondence courses with
programmed instruction materials, taped lectures,
recordings, and the use of other audio-visual
materials. (Internal - no action necessary.)
B. Correspondence courses should be supplemented
in local areas by the use of radio and tele-
vision where available. (Internal - no action
necessary.)
C. Group-study correspondence courses should be
developed whereby courses would be supplemented
by actual guidance and instruction through per-
iodic visits by faculty members. Some adjust-
ments in fees might be necessary to provide this
service. (No action taken.)
D. Credit courses produced by other educational
institutions or network educational television
programs for credit should be handled through
the Correspondence Division. Approval from the
Department and College concerned should be ob-
tained. (No action taken.)
E. The position of administrative head of the Cor-
respondence Division should be upgraded to a
position of Director and, accordingly, report
to the Dean of Statewide Services. (Approved.)
F. A committee should be appointed to study the role
of correspondence courses in the degree program
and in doing so should review the number of
credits allowable towards a degree. (No action
taken.)
VII. Summer Session
At one time the Summer Session was basically a pro-
gram for the benefit of in-service teacher training.
In the Summer of 1963 at the University of Nevada,
less than half of those persons taking courses were
in-service teachers. With no funds being directly
appropriated for Summer Session it is difficult to
obtain faculty when they can be assured of other
employment as well as to offer a well rounded pro-
gram. With the changing picture of Summer programs,
the following recommendations are made:
A. A committee should be appointed to study the year
round operation of the University as well as
Summer Session. (Committee has been appointed.)
B. Until such time as the University is operating a
year round program the Dean of Statewide Services
should be the administrative head of Summer Ses-
sion. If a year round operation should be pro-
posed, study should be made as to a program for
in-service teachers and where it should be ad-
ministered. (No action taken.)
C. Approval of courses for Summer Session should be
obtained in the same manner as for evening di-
vision courses.
D. Special programs, workshops, clinics, etc.,
should be established in the departments where
needed to provide in-service education for
teachers.
E. A study needs to be made of Summer Session sal-
aries, including the instruction, administration
of workshops, institutes, etc., and methods of
guaranteeing employment. (No action taken.)
VIII. Audio-Visual Communications Division
The Audio-Visual Center is an integral part of the
educational program of a University. It can provide
teaching material, equipment and services necessary
to make the teaching program more effective. Through
its facilities, new methods of teaching and increased
effectiveness of teaching may be developed. Follow-
ing are the recommendations concerning audio-visual:
A. The audio-visual communications division should
be under the administration of the Dean of State-
wide Services. (Approved.)
B. The Director of the Audio-Visual Center shall
also be responsible for all educational tele-
vision and radio. (Approved.)
C. Increased financial support must be given to
this area to meet the challenge of increased
enrollments, changing teaching methods and
needs of faculty. (No action taken.)
IX. Associate Degrees
In August, 1960 the Board of Regents adopted a plan
previously approved by the faculty and Administra-
tion for diploma and certificate programs. A cer-
tain number of certificate programs are already in
operation, especially in the technical education
area. However, because of the University of Nevada's
unique position in higher education in the State of
Nevada it is believed these programs should be de-
veloped as rapidly as possible to serve the needs of
students who are not financially able or are not in-
terested in 4 or more years of academic life. There-
fore, the following recommendations are made:
A. The Associate of Arts and the Associate of Sci-
ence degrees should be instituted at the Univer-
sity of Nevada as the University's "diploma
program". (No action taken.)
B. All programs currently being provided and all
future programs which are less than 4 years
should be under the administration of the Dean
of Statewide Services. (No action taken.)
C. All associate degree programs will be developed
by the Dean of Statewide Services in consultation
with faculty members and Deans concerned with
that particular program. (No action taken.)
D. Such programs may carry academic credit for all
courses offered although in many instances of a
specialized nature this may not be true. (No
action taken.)
E. Diplomas issued on successful completion of the
program will specify the area in which special-
ization took place, i. e., Nursing, Electronics,
etc. The diplomas will be awarded by the Uni-
versity of Nevada. (No action taken.) 396.580
now requires the diploma to be issued by Depart-
ments.
F. Students having completed successfully courses
having University credit may use these courses
in cases where they wish to continue in a 4 year
degree program. (No action taken.)
X. Summary
In this report has been incorporated the recommenda-
tions of the Statewide Services Advisory Committee
after careful evaluation of the Educational Planning
Committee Report.
In addition, certain recommendations have been made
by myself which I believe will assist in the opera-
tion of Statewide Services in maintaining high aca-
demic standards and to provide more educational
opportunity to the people of the State of Nevada.

17. Chemical Engineering
President Armstrong discussed the proposal saying that
interest in such a program has been increasing throughout
the State. At his request, during the past year the faculty
of the Mackay School of Mines and the College of Engineering
have been developing a program in the field. The question
arose as to where the program would be located. It was then
decided to bring in a committee of outside consultants to
study the situation. Deans Anderson and Scheid agreed upon
the committee membership as follows: Henry S. Curtis, Plant
Manager, American Potash & Chemical Corporation, Henderson;
Professor Richard M. Edwards, Department of Chemical Engi-
neering, University of Arizona; Professor R. F. Heckman,
Department of Chemical Engineering, South Dakota School of
Mines and Technology; Professor Lloyd Berg, Montana State
College. The committee spent two days on the Campus before
making the report. Subsequently Deans Anderson and Scheid
met with the faculties concerned and developed the curri-
culum. A minimum amount of equipment would be needed for
the next 4 or 5 years. In accordance with the recommenda-
tion of the committee, there would be joint appointments
of faculty in Nuclear Engineering and Metallurgical Engi-
neering.
On the above basis, and on the very clear evidence of the
need of such a program, President Armstrong recommended its
implementation beginning with the Fall of this year, as
follows:
1. The initial faculty of the Department of Chemical and
Metallurgical Engineering shall consist of Professors
Butler, Dickinson, and Winston; Associate Professors
Bowdish and Hammond; and Assistant Professors Miller
and Vincent. The faculty of the Department of Nuclear
Engineering shall consist of Professors Bowdish,
Dickinson and Miller.
2. Certain faculty members will have dual appointments and
dual responsibilities in the Department of Nuclear
Engineering and the Department of Chemical and Metallur-
gical Engineering. The concept of dual appointments as
used here, means that faculty members having dual ap-
pointments will have the same privileges and responsi-
bilities as the full-time members of the Departments.
The responsibility of Professor Bowdish to the Depart-
ment of Nuclear Engineering will be that of teaching
courses assigned to him under Chemical Engineering,
which the Department of Nuclear Engineering chooses to
cross-list. Approximately 1/5 to 1/4 of the time of
Professor Dickinson and of Professor Miller will be
assigned to the Department of Chemical and Metallurgical
Engineering for the purpose of teaching Chemical Engi-
neering courses and assisting in the planning and oper-
ation of the Department.
3. The administration and control of the budget shall lie
with the Department of Chemical and Metallurgial Engi-
neering under the supervision of Dean Scheid, with the
consultation of Dean Anderson.
4. Following the guide lines suggested by the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers, the curriculum in
Chemical Engineering was developed through conferences
among faculty members from several departments of the
University. An initial curriculum has been agreed
upon by the faculty members in the proposed Chemical
and Metallurgical Engineering Department and is at-
tached. The curriculum will be studied during the
coming year to make possible improvements.
5. The Department is prepared to accept students immedi-
ately in Chemical Engineering and we recommend, con-
tingent upon approval by the Board of Regents, that
it be permitted to enroll students beginning in Sep-
tember, 1964.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously to approve the recommendation.
18. Proposed Natural History Reservation, Nevada Southern
Following previous action of the Board, Dr. Armstrong asked
Dean Carlson and the members of the Biology Department to
negotiate with the Bureau of Land Management and others
concerning the acquisition of such land. Upon receipt of
the opinion from the Office of the Attorney General that
the University may acquire property if it does not use
State funds, the Administration proceeded to investigate
the proposal, with the view to using non-appropriated funds
to begin the process of acquisition.
No action was taken by the Regents, and the Administration
was asked to contact Mr. Bowman, rancher, who holds water
rights which allow the use of a portion of the available
water for his cattle and some limited irrigation, for a
statement as to whether or not he is agreeable to the Uni-
versity acquiring the property for a Natural History Reser-
vation. It was agreed also that Dean Carlson and his staff
continue to search for other suitable sites.
19. Resolution, Dr. Young
President Armstrong proposed the following resolution:
RESOLUTION #64-8
