Lombardi, Magee, Ronzone and White; President Armstrong, Vice
President-Finance Humphrey, Chancellors Miller and Moyer,
Mr. Edward Pine, Director of Physical Plant, and Mr. Dan Walsh
of the Attorney General's office. Members of the Press were

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Anderson at 9:05 A.M.
1. Minutes of Previous Meeting
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved
and distributed, with the additional suggestion than an
indication be made on future lists of appointments to pro-
fessional positions as to whether the appointment was being
made to fill a new position, or if a replacement, the name
of the person being replaced.
2. Report of the Investment Committee Meeting of July 9, 1965
Dr. Lombardi presented the minutes of the meeting as fol-
lows:
The Committee met at 12:00 noon in the Hardy Room, Jot
Travis Student Union. Present were: Public members Mr.
Julius Bergen and Mr. E. L. Cord; Board members Procter R.
Hug, Jr. and Mrs. Molly Magee. Also present were Board of
Regents Chairman Fred M. Anderson, M. D., Regents Grant,
Davis, President Charles J. Armstrong and Vice President-
Finance Neil D. Humphrey. Representing First National Bank
of Nevada were Mr. R. O. Kwapil, Vice President and Senior
Trust Officer and Mr. Jerry Troyer, Trust Officer.
Dr. Louis Lombardi, Chairman, had notified Mr. Humphrey that
he would be unable to attend and requested Mrs. Magee to
preside.
A review of the portfolio had been mailed by the Bank July
2; however, Mr. Kwapil noted there were several errors in
extensions of figures and distributed a new report. The new
report shows the market value of the portfolio as of June
28, 1965, as $3,528,912 with a projected annual income of
$125,052 or a yield of 3.5% on market value and a yield of
4.4% on cost value.
Mr. Kwapil recommended that: (1) certain recently received
shares be sold, namely 20 shares of General Motors Corp.,
50 shares of Loew's Theatres, 300 shares of Woodall
Industries, Inc. and 23 shares of Sierra Pacific Power,
Pfd.; and (2) the proceeds of the sales plus approximately
$15,000 cash on hand be placed in U. S. Treasury Bills.
It was moved by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Bergen that the
recommendation be approved. Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Bergen moved, seconded by Mr. Hug that Mr. Humphrey be
instructed to prepare an explanatory statement concerning
the operation of the Endowment fund, such statement to be
distributed to the Committee members and all Regents.
Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Cord commented upon the desirability of disposing of all
long term bonds in the portfolio and of using approximately
ten percent of the total Endowment fund to purchase
speculative stocks. These ideas were discussed at length
but no specific action was taken.
Mr. Humphrey noted that the Board of Regents had recently
authorized the purchase of Bank Certificates of Time Deposit
(in addition to U. S. Treasury Bills) with surplus operating
capital and that 90 day certificates secured from some banks
could be @ 4% and @ 4.5% for six months fully secured col-
lateral agreements. He noted that this compared favorably
to the 3.7% current yield on U. S. Treasury Bills and
suggested consideration of purchasing limited amounts of
Time Certificate Deposits with Endowment monies. Mr. Kwapil
recommended against this and stated that First National Bank
of Nevada would pay 4.5% only on one year Time Certificate
Deposits. The consensus of the Committee was that Time
Certificate Deposits should not be purchased with Endowment
funds.
Mr. Bergen commented that he was satisfied with the present
basic balance of the portfolio and recommended no further
change at this time.
It was agreed that the next meeting of the Committee would
be held Friday, October 15, 1965 at noon in the Hardy Room
of the Jot Travis Student Union.
Meeting adjourned at 1:40 P.M.
Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the action of the Committee be approved by the
Board.

4. Report of the Educational Policies Committee Meeting,
July 23, 1965
Dr. White presented the minutes of the meeting as follows:
The Educational Policies Committee met in the Travis Lounge
of the Student Union building on July 23, 1965. Present
were Regents Anderson, Davis, Grant, Hug, Jacobsen, Magee,
Ronzone and White; President Armstrong, Chancellors Miller
and Moyer, Vice President Humphrey and Deans Kelly and
O'Brien.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman White at
1:40 P.M.
1. Graduate Education in Clark County
President Armstrong reviewed for the Committee the
efforts made over the past year to increase the courses
offered in graduate education in Clark County. Material
prepared by Deans Cain, Kelly and O'Brien and mailed to
the Regents earlier, had summarized the action over the
past year involving Clark County Schools and the staffs
on the Reno and Las Vegas Campuses. It was the consen-
sus of the Deans, as revealed in their summaries and in
discussion which followed with Dean Kelly and O'Brien,
that although many problems do exist, and chief among
them of course is the lack of sufficient staff to meet
the needs for graduate courses, steps are now being
taken to solve these problems. It was further revealed
in discussion that Clark County has a very great concern
for in-service programs for their teachers, completely
apart from graduate study.
Although no action was taken by the Committee and no
recommendations were made, it was the consensus of the
Committee that the steps being taken by the Administra-
tion to meet the demands of Clark County for graduate
education are realistic and practical. However, it was
was also recognized that no completely satisfactory
solution can be offered without adequate staff and
facilities.
2. President Armstrong presented for the Committee's con-
sideration with his recommendation for approval, the
following proposed Class A actions as approved by the
University Council:
A. Organization of a Graduate Faculty
The following statement is recognized as consti-
tuting the controlling philososphy underlying the
more detailed provisions which follow:
(1) Control of graduate work must be vested in
the specialists who are capable of directing
the preparation essential to particular courses
and programs which lead to advanced degrees.
In effect, this means that Departments within
Colleges must be in practical control of the
graduate work they administer, or, if the de-
gree is of somewhat broader spread, a combina-
tion of Departments must be in control under
the direction of the College or Colleges in
which the student's major is taught. For pur-
poses of this document College is to be defined
as in the Code, Chapter II, Section II.
(2) Graduate work and reasearch are the concern of
the whole University. In effect, this means
that Departments and Colleges should structure
their own graduate programs, but a University-
wide agency should establish minimum standards
and should have power to act in administrative
matters when they are also to a degree matters
of policy.
(3) The Graduate School has the responsibility for
coordinating the Graduate Degree Programs of
the other Schools and Colleges, for awarding
graduate degrees, and for maintaining uniform
standards and procedures among the various
programs. Inasmuch as the Graduate School has
no Departments organized within it and is not
responsible for the hiring, promotion and ten-
ure of any faculty member, there is need for a
coordinating and review group of faculty mem-
bers to be drawn from other Schools and Col-
leges as the responsible governing body of the
Graduate School.
Dean of the Graduate School
The Dean of the Graduate School shall Chair meet-
ings of the Graduate Council and shall be responsi-
ble for administering the admission, registration
and completion of degree requirements for all grad-
uate students and those receiving graduate credit
at the University.
The Graduate Council
The Graduate Council shall:
a. Approve graduate courses and programs as pro-
posed by the several Colleges, and recommend the
granting of graduate degrees after the Depart-
ments and Colleges have approved them.
b. Assure itself that Colleges have exercised their
responsibility for maintaining graduate-level
work in these courses and programs. The Grad-
uate Council shall give main attention to admis-
sion and instruction and to the quality and
competence of the work done, and only secondary
attention to the format and structure of pro-
grams, which are the responsibility of the
several Colleges and Departments.
c. Regulate the giving of graduate credit for
undergraduate courses, taking cognizance of
the differing needs of the various degree pro-
grams.
d. Provide continuing review of standards and
practices of the Graduate Programs in all areas
and offer leadership in the general promotion
of graduate work.
e. Report to an ultimately responsible larger
body. The larger body, to be known as the
Graduate Faculty, shall be a segment of the
University Faculty and be covered by Chapter
II, Section 3, Article 7 of the University
code regarding the calling of meetings. The
Graduate Faculty shall act as a Board of Appeal,
exert a veto when necessary and report to the
President that recommended policies of graduate
work are being carried out. Minutes of each
meeting of the Graduate Council shall be dis-
tributed to all members of the Graduate Faculty.
The Graduate Council shall be made up of between 17
and 20 members including one from the Graduate Fac-
ulty of each College offering graduate work and the
remaining members to be selected by the individual
Colleges on the basis of their proportional number
of members of the Graduate Faculty, with no one
College's members comprising the majority of the
Graduate Council. The term of office shall be 3
years, 1/2 to be selected each year.
The Graduate Faculty, under the Chairmanship of
the President of the University of Nevada, shall
consist of the academic faculty members who are or
have been engaged in resident teaching of, or super-
vision of, graduate students within the preceding
5 years, or who possess the appropriate terminal
degree in their fields.
The above Class A action was submitted to the University
faculty for mail ballot (Faculty Policy Bulletin #65-7,
May 17, 1965) and was approved by a vote of 162 approv-
ing, 147 not approving and 1 abstaining.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board the approval of the organization of a Graduate
Faculty as set forth above.
B. Change in Regulations Governing Suspended Students
The following are recommended changes in the Catalog of
General Information (1964-66 edition) from the Univer-
sity Policy Committee on Academic Standars. The Uni-
versity Council has approved these changes by a major-
ity vote. No suggested changes have been received.
Delete the following in the Catalog of General Infor-
mation:
(1) Under subtopic "Penalties" page 46, "Credit earned
at another institution by a student under scholas-
tic suspension from the University of Nevada will
not be accepted by the Office of Admissions unless
the student has obtained prior written approval."
(2) Under subtopic "Advanced Standing Regulations",
page 29, Item 2, "The University will not recognize
credit earned at a second institution during a per-
iod of disqualification or equivalent from the
first institution."
These items are on pages 41 and 27, respectively, of the
1964-65 edition of the Catalog of General Information.
The above Class A action was submitted to the University
faculty for mail ballot (Faculty Policy Bulletin #65-7,
May 17, 1965) and was approved by a vote of 255 approv-
ing, 49 not approving and 6 abstaining.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board the approval of the change in regulations
governing suspended students as set forth above.
C. Change in Admission Requirements (English)
The University Council endorsed the recommendation of
the U. P. C. on Academic Standards concerning a change
in admission requirements. This recommendation was
sent to the University faculty in Faculty Policy Bul-
letin #65-6. No suggested changes in the recommendation
were received.
The recommendation is:
The English requirement for admission to the Baccalaure-
ate programs of the University shall be increased from
3 units to 4 units of formal High School English, except
that applicants who have earned a B average or better in
the first three units shall not be required to have the
fourth unit of English. (Note: As used in the above,
"formal High School English" does not include Public
Speaking, Journalism, Business English, etc.) The ef-
fective date of this new admission requirement shall be
the Fall, 1968.
The above Class A action was submitted to the Univer-
sity faculty for mail ballot (Faculty Policy Bulletin
#65-7, May 17, 1965) and was approved by a vote of 206
approving, 99 not approving and 5 abstaining.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board the approval of the change in admission re-
quirements (English) as set forth above, with the rec-
ommendation that further study be given to the possible
future substitution of Journalism, Public Speaking,
Business English, etc., for the 4th unit of English.
D. Change in Leave Procedure
On May 20 the University Council approved the following
recommendation from the U. P. C. on Faculty Welfare as a
Class A Action, Procedure I.
That Faculty Bulletins #792 and #800 be amended to allow
a professional staff member who takes maternity leave
to use paid sick leave as all or part of the maternity
leave, limited to the number of days of paid sick leave
to which she would normally be entitled at that time.
Reference should be made to pages 11-12 of the Univer-
sity Code governing Class A Actions, Procedure I. There
were no dissenting votes in the Council on the adoption
of this recommendation.
The above Class A action was submitted to the University
faculty (Faculty Policy Bulletin #65-8, May 24, 1965)
and received no protests during the prescribed period of
time.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board the approval of the Class A action concerning
the amendment to leave procedure as set forth above.
Upon motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. White, it was
unanimously voted to recommend to the Board that the
Civic Oath be deleted from the Commencement Exercises.

5. Report of the Plant and Property Committee meeting of June
24, 1965
Mr. Jacobsen presented the minutes of the meeting as fol-
lows:
A meeting of the Plant and Property Committee was held on
June 24 at 11:00 A.M. on the Nevada Southern University
Campus.
Present: Chairman Jacobsen, Regents Anderson, Davis. Grant,
Hug, Lombardi, Magee, Ronzone, together with President
Armstrong. Mr. Smutzer, Landscape Architect, retained to
to develop plans for the landscaping of the University of
Nevada Southern Campus, was also present.
Mr. Smutzer briefly outlined his general ideas concerning
landscaping and requested suggestions from the Regents. It
was agreed that the plan should contemplate the landscaping
of all possible areas on the Campus which will be permanent
and not disturbed by future construction.
It was agreed that Mr. Smutzer will submit preliminary plans
to the Plant and Property Committee at a meeting on July 23
next.
President Armstrong was requested to determine the total
amount of funds available for the project beyond the $50,000
already earmarked by Regents from the sale of the Mount Rose
property. Specifically, which fund can be made available by
the State Planning Board.
It was agreed that Mr. Pine should meet with Mr. Smutzer at
the earliest possible opportunity to discuss development of
the plans.
President Armstrong reported a telephone conversation with
Dr. Broten concerning the matter of the surface for the
track in the new Stadium. Dr. Broten indicated he had pre-
pared a letter of recommendation in which he had indicated
that further research brought forth an offer from Firestone
Rubber Company for the necessary rubber so far below prices
quoted by U. S. Royal, that the total cost of a low tempera-
ture asphalt track would be approximately $5,000 less than
grass tex, including straightaways. Firestone will also
provide a written guarantee for one year, provided they are
able to supervise local mixing.
Dr. Broten's recommendation is to proceed with low tempera-
ture rubber asphalt as indicated above if necessary guaran-
tee is provided and total price is at the level of or lower
than the grass tex bid.
Upon motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, the
Plant and Property Committee unanimously voted to approve
Dr. Broten's recommendation as indicated. Since the Plant
and Property Committee had been authorized to act for the
Board of Regents in the matter, action will be immediately
transmitted to the architect.
Meeting adjourned at 12:20 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles J. Armstrong
Acting Secretary
Action by the Board:
Upon motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, it
was voted unanimously to approve the earlier action of the
Committee in approving Dr. Broten's recommendation concern-
ing the surfacing material for the new athletic track.
6. Report of the Plant and Property Committee meeting of
July 23, 1965.
Mr. Jacobsen presented the minutes of the meeting as fol-
follows:
The Plant and Property Committee met in the Travis Lounge of
the Student Union building on July 23, 1965. Present were
Regents Anderson, Grant, Hug, Jacobsen, Lombardi, Magee and
White; President Armstrong, Chancellors Miller and Moyer,
Vice President Humphrey, Mr. Pine, Mr. Hancock of the State
Planning Board, Mr. Mc Daniel, architect for Nevada Southern
University's Library addition, and Mr. Smutzer, landscape
architect.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jacobsen at
9:30 A.M.
1. Library Addition, Nevada Southern University
Mr. James Mc Daniel, architect, was present to review
the preliminary plans for the addition to the Library
at Nevada Southern University. Mr. Hancock of the State
Planning Board and Mr. Pine, Director of Physical Plant,
have reviewed the plans and recommend that they be
approved.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissenting vote that the preliminary plans for
the Nevada Southern University Library addition be
approved as presented.
2. Landscaping, Nevada Southern University
Mr. Smutzer, landscape architect, presented preliminary
plans for the landscaping of Nevada Southern's Campus.
The master plan included the total landscaping of the
entire Campus with an initial increment recommended at
a cost of approximately $50,000. The increment as sug-
gested by Mr. Smutzer would consist of approximately
264,940 sq. feet of lawn area, an assortment of trees
and a sprinkling system to accommodate the planted area.
It was noted that there is not sufficient money to land-
scape the Dormitory and the above estimate does not in-
clude the installation of walks. Mr. Smutzer recommend-
ed the lawn be of Hybrid Bermuda and each Fall Rye be
sown to continue the green in Winter.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Grant, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee approve the
preliminary master plans for the landscaping of NSU
and recommend to the Board that the Administration
proceed with landscaping the initial increment as funds
permit.
Mr. Ronzone entered the meeting at 10:00 A.M.
Mr. Pine pointed out to the Committee that although the
water level at NSU was sufficient for perhaps two more
years, the water level was falling rather rapidly and
the increased water usage required by the additional
landscaping would make further demands on the water
supply. He suggested that consideration be given to
either seeking permission to drill another deeper well
on Campus (which would probably require the capping of
the existing well) or tying into the District water
line. He stated that a new well at a depth of approx-
imately 620 feet should provide for the irrigation
and domestic water needs of the entire Campus. It was
the consensus of the Committee that he should continue
to irrigate from the well for the present and investi-
gate both methods of satisfying the future water re-
quirements for the NSU Campus.
3. Whittell Forest and Wildlife Area
Dr. Sill came to the meeting to discuss with the Commit-
tee some of the impressions gained from the field trip
to Little Valley on Thursday, July 22. For those mem-
bers not able to attend the tour he distributed a
status report on the various research projects being
accomplished in the wildlife area.
4. Social Science Building, Reno Campus
The intermediate plans for the Social Science building
have been reviewed and the State Planning Board staff
has suggested consideration of the elimination of the
furnishing budget to enable the entire project to be
completed (i. e., main building, Lecture Demonstration
building, heat line extension and site development).
Mr. Pine recommended that the intermediate plans be
approved as presented and the following budget be
adopted with all funds that can be saved to be
allocated to furnishings:

Mr. Humphrey further stated that ... "I contacted seven
key Legislators, (Bailey, Bastian, Bunker, Gibson,
Kinsley, Mc Gowman, Pozzi) and attempted to contact
several others. I explained the University's need for
extra land on the south boundary and the fact that the
Flamingo Road property was less useful to the Univer-
sity. I made specific mention of the 1963 Legislation
which established the south line for exchange purposes
by the State Planning Board. I also stated that the
State Planning Board had recommended that the University
go south to Tropicana Road if possible. I gave the
appraisal information and said that we would attempt to
negotiate a trade of approximately equal value (rather
than equal area). All Legislators contacted approved
of what the University was attempting to work out. It
was understood, of course, that each was speaking as an
individual.
"Mr. Pine met with Mr. Gerald Leavitt on July 10 and
proposed a trade of 29.78 acres of NSU property (going
south from Flamingo Road for 34.9 acres of University
Land Company property. Mr. Leavitt agreed in principal
to the trade, but requested a five percent Real Estate
commission (approximately $25,000). Mr. Pine told him
that this was not possible and Mr. Leavitt agreed to
reconsider and contact Mr. Pine not later than July 22.
(Mr. Pine stated that Mr. Leavitt had not returned from
Argentina as of July 23.)
"I recommend that the Board of Regents approve a
transfer of 29.78 acres of NSU property fronting on
Flamingo Road for 34.9 acres of University Land Company
property adjacent to the Campus on the south and that
no Real Estate commission be paid and that one-half of
all title insurance and other title company and related
fees be paid. The Board's action will require approval
by the Governor."
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that Mr. Humphrey's recommenda-
tion be approved by the Committee and in turn recommend-
ed to the Board for approval.
6. Orvis School of Nursing Building, Reno Campus
Intermediate plans for the new Orvis School of Nursing
building have been reviewed by the State Planning Board
and by Mr. Ed Pine. Mr. Pine recommended approval of
these intermediate plans, indicating that they would
probably be ready for final approval by August 3, and
further recommended that the Plant and Property Commit-
tee be authorized to approve plans and award contracts.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissenting vote that the intermediate plans be
approved and the Committee recommend to the Board that
the Plant and Property Committee be authorized to ap-
prove the final plans and award the contract for the
Orvis School of Nursing building.
President Armstrong reviewed for the Committee the
schedule of the Orvis School of Nursing building (a
construction contract must be let by September 30 in
order to qualify for the $389,118 Federal Grant) and
recommended that the following monies be transferred
from the funds indicated to the Orvis School of Nursing
Building Fund (1-91-3005) to provide the additonal
funds needed to meet the construction budget.
1-91-5000 Property Acquisition Fund $50,335.98
1-51-4119 W. E. Travis Grant 17,991.47
1-51-7002 Alice Dimmitt Endowment Income 8,524.38
1-51-7004 Hayden Ellicot Endowment Income 2,230.17
$79,082.00
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
without dissenting vote that the above fund transfer be
recommended to the Board for approval.
7. Request by Federal Aviation Agency
The FAA has requested permission of the Board to erect
a 30' wooden pole and reflector device on the NSU Campus
north of runway 19. This is an electronic device known
as a Moving Target Reflector.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board that permission be granted upon modification
of the agreement changing the date from July 12 to July
24 and insertion of a cancellation clause providing that
the Board of Regents may cancel the agreement with 30
days notice if the area is required for other use.
8. Progress and Information Report:
A. Nye Hall: Contract awarded and notice to proceed
issued. Completion date anticipated is November,
1966. Occupancy expected for Spring semester 1967.
B. Dining Hall - Dormitory Facility, NSU: Project is
being advertised for bids to be opened July 30 at
2:00 P.M. in Frazier Hall, NSU. A rather extensive
addendum to the bid documents is being issued but
this will not further delay the bids on the project.
A report will be ready by July 23 concerning the
architectural contract on this project and on the
second Dormitory at NSU (HHFA preliminary appli-
cation has been filed on this project).
Mr. Pine recommended upon opening of bids that
Administration be authorized to cancel contract of
Mr. Knighton, architect for this project, and that
the Physical Plant staff be authorized to perform
supervision of construction or the Administration
employ the services of another architect for the
supervision during construction. He further
recommended that the Administration negotiate
with Mr. Knighton for acquisition of plans.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the above recommendation
be approved.
C. Mr. Herbert Jones, Attorney-at-Law in Las Vegas, had
requested the University to join in a petition to
allow a change in lots on the Olympic Circle area
north of the NSU Campus. Mr. Pine has requested
that Mr. Jones submit a plot plan and indicate the
variance from the Clark County Planning Code. Mr.
Pine stated that Mr. Jones has not yet submitted a
plot plan.
D. New Mackay Stadium will not be available for the
1965 Football season; however, the construction
schedule on the Social Science building will not
interfere with the Fall use of the existing Stadium.
E. The DRI Water Resources building is 50% complete and
on schedule.
F. A scope of work for certain remodeling of Mackay
Science building has been furnished the State
Planning Board. Completion expected by first or
second week of Fall semester.
9. Sewer Line
Mr. Pine reviewed for the Committee their earlier action
in granting an easement to the City of Reno for the
installation of new sewer lines on the Campus, pointing
out that plans for the route of these lines had been
received and that the specifications had been written
requiring that any turf removed in the Stadium area
would be replaced by September 1.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the plans for the sewer
lines be approved.
10. Loan to Nevada Southern University Automated Food
Service Fund
Mr. Humphrey transmitted a request from Chancellor
Moyer for a loan to provide money to furnish a student
lounge in Room 108, Frazier Hall.
Mr. Humphrey presented the following recommendation,
with President Armstrong's endorsement:
"I recommend that up to $2,500 be loaned to 2-23-7001,
Automated Food Service from 1-51-4056, Board of Regents
Special Projects Fund for this purpose. The loan can
be repaid out of income earned by the profits of the
Automated Food Services Fund. In conformity with the
practice on the Reno Campus for such loans, interest of
3.5% on the unpaid balance should be charged. It is
possible that less than $2,500 will be required and only
the amount needed should be transferred."
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
without dissenting vote that the above recommendation
be approved.
11. Special Procedure for Certain Remodeling Contracts
Anticipating that the Board would not meet in August,
Mr. Humphrey requested that the Committee recommend to
the Board that the Administration be authorized to award
contracts, as follows:
1. Remodeling of certain basement areas in Mackay
School of Mines building.
2. Reworking of electrical service to the Nevada Bureau
of Mines.
3. Remodel Room 128, Fleischmann Agriculture building.
4. Construction of storage cabinets in the Admissions
Office.
5. Construction of costume storage for Fine Arts
Theatre.
6. NSU Automated Food Service.
Motion by Mr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that the Committee recommend to
the Board that authorization be granted to the Admin-
istration to award the contracts as listed above.
12. Application to Office of Education Under Title I of the
Higher Education Facilities Act
President Armstrong requested the Committee recommend to
the Board the approval of submission of an application
for an allocation of $529,500 for use in the Library
addition for Nevada Southern University, under the pro-
vision of Title I, Section 104, Public Law 88-204. He
pointed out that upon approval by the Board of Regents
the State Commission should convene for purposes of
approving the application in order that it might be
transmitted to the Office of Education, Department of
Health, Education and Welfare prior to the July 31
deadline.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that submission of the application be
recommended to the Board.
13. Frandsen Gift
Dr. Anderson informed the Committee of a gift of approx-
imately $9,000 which will be received by the University
with no restrictions as to its use. Dr. Anderson sug-
gested that since the gift was from Dr. Peter Frandsen,
once Chairman of the Biology Department, the Committee
recommend to the Board that $5,000 be allocated to ob-
taining anatomical dissection apparatus for Biology
and the balance be devoted to equipment for the Labora-
tories for Human Development.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
without dissenting vote that recommendations as
suggested by Dr. Anderson be presented to the Board.
The meeting adjourned at 12:05 P.M.

7. Progress Report, Building Program
The following report showing the status of capital improve-
ment projects of the University of Nevada under the juris-
diction of the Nevada State Planning Board was distributed
to the Board.
1. University of Nevada, Reno Campus
(a) Construction Projects
1. Physical Education Facilities, Contract II: As
of July 1, the project is 39.3% complete. At
present it appears that the contractor can meet
the scheduled completion date of October 20,
1965. This office has recommended to Mr. Ed
L. Pine, Sr. that the University not plan to
use the new Stadium during the 1965 football
season. Our recommendation was based on the
advice of the landscaping subcontractor who
indicated that the grass would not be suffic-
iently developed to withstand conference
football play. The design change from grass
tex to rubber asphalt on both the track and
in the field event areas also preclude immedi-
ate planting due to the fact that excessive
watering will hinder the installation of rub-
ber asphalt. The parking areas and additional
landscaping work are pending receipt of the
general obligation bond money which is pres-
ently anticipated to be received by the State
of Nevada the latter part of July.
2. Landscaping, Site Development, Engineering-
Mines Building and White Pine Hall: This proj-
ect has been satisfactorily completed.
3. Dormitory (Nye Hall): The offical starting
date for this project was July 19, 1965, and
the scheduled completion date is November 30,
1966.
(b) Design Projects
1. Social Science Building, Reno Campus: The
Architectural firm of Vhay and Ferrari is
completing final working drawings. Their
current estimate of the cost of the Social
Science building and Lecture building is
$1,404,184.00. The revised budget submitted
to Mr. Pine indicates a deficit of possibly
$20,000 in available funds if all contemplated
work is to be realized. The possibility of
eliminating the furniture budget has been
suggested in an endeavor to realize the Lecture
building addition which is currently programmed
to be an alternate.
2. Nursing Facility, University of Nevada, Reno
Campus: Architect is preparing final plans and
specifications which are estimated to be
received by the State Planning Board early in
August.
3. Remodel Science Labs: Bid documents are being
prepared based on the scope of work received by
this office on June 30, 1965. University
personnel are preparing the design for mechan-
ical and electrical portions of the work and
the State Planning Board's office is preparing
the architectural and contract documents. It
is unlikely at this time that all of the work
contemplated can be completed prior to the Fall
semester. The G. O. B. money for this work is
not yet available.
4. Land Acquisition, Purchase of Dormitory Land
and Purchase of Anelli Land: The acquisition
of these properties is dependent solely upon
the availability of State appropriated funds.
2. Nevada Southern University Projects
(a) Construction Projects
1. Social Science Building: Project has been
completed; furniture is being delivered.
(b) Design Projects
1. Landscaping: Mr. Robert Smutzer has developed
schematic plans and will review them with the
Regents.
2. Land Acquisition: The suggested acquisition of
the University Land Company property is pending
action by the Board of Regents.
3. Utilities for Dormitory: The following four
bids were received July 20:
Longley $24,019.00
Ben O'Davey 25,976.00
TAB Construction 27,000.00
Hansen Plumbing 41,775.00
The budget for this work was $25,000.00. It
was recommended to the State Planning Board
that a contract be awarded to Longley Con-
struction.
4. Addition to Library: Preliminary plans have
been submitted by the architect and they have
been reviewed by this office and the Univer-
sity staff. Subject to further study on sky-
lighting, balconies, murals and statutory exit
requirements, these plans have been approved
ments, these plans have been approved by the
Northern Executive Committee of the State
Planning Board. Mr. Mc Daniel will review them
with the Board of Regents.
5. Signal System: Final plans and specifications
are scheduled for completion on or about
August 15, 1965.
8. Report of the Development Committee Meeting of July 23, 1965
Mr. Ronzone presented the minutes of the meeting as follows:
The Development Committee met in the Travis Lounge of the
Student building on July 23, 1965. Present were Regents
Anderson, Davis, Hug, Jacobsen, Magee, Ronzone and White;
President Armstrong, Chancellors Miller and Moyer, Vice
President Humphrey, Mr. Russell and Mr. Laxalt. Regent
Lombardi entered the meeting at 4:00 P.M.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Ronzone at 3:30
P.M.
President Armstrong reviewed for the Committee the corre-
spondence and discussions which preceded this meeting and
the requirements of the University which make a long range
financial development program desirable. He explained that
final plans for such a program have by no means been formu-
lated to the point where a proposal is ready for considera-
tion. He stated that the purpose in requesting that this be
discussed by the Committee at this point was to determine
the true objective of such a program and invite suggestions
from the Regents as to how this program might best be tai-
lored to satisfy the requirements of the University of
Nevada.
After much discussion by all members of the Committee, it
was suggested that a consultant in such programs would be
very helpful and it was agreed that arrangements would be
made for such a conference before the next Regents meeting
on September 18.
The meeting adjourned at 4:30 P.M.
ACTION OF THE BOARD;
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. White, carried unani-
mously that the report of the Development Committee be ac-
cepted by the Board.

#293 $3000.00 from the Mackay Endowment Income Fund
(1-52-6010) to the Mackay Endowment Fund (1-71-6010)
for investment purposes (1964-65).
President Armstrong presented the following request from
Mr. Humphrey for transfer of funds with his recommendation
for approval:
"A total of $3,503.22 is required to provide the Univer-
sity's 1/9 matching for the Fall semester 1965, for the
Nursing and NDSL programs ($400.00 Nursing and $3,103.22
NDSL).
"I recommend that $3,503.22 be transferred from the Garvey
Rhodes Loan Fund (1-61-5006). As of June 30, 1965, this
fund has a loanable cash balance of $17,549.94 and $8785 of
loans outstanding for a total of $26,334.94 fund balance."
President Armstrong presented the following request from
Mr. Humphrey for transfer funds with his recommendation for
approval:
"Fund 1-51-4096, Centennial Musical Production, had receipts
of $6,950.00 by transfer from Board of Regents Special
Projects (1-51-4056). In October 1964, after the State
Centennial Commission was repaid, there was a cash balance
of $3,937.27 of which $2,350.00 was obligated by contract
for two graduate assistants, leaving an unobligated cash
balance of $1,587.27.
"You made the $1,587.27 available to the University Centen-
nial Committee to expend on items related to the Centennial
Celebration. In closing this account June 30, 1965, the
Comittee had over-expended by $112.49.
"I recommend that this deficit be cleared by a transfer of
$112.49 from 1-51-7001, Miscellaneous or Anonymous Endowment
Income (an unrestricted fund) and the Centennial Musical
Production Fund (1-51-4096) be closed."
Mr. Humphrey explained that due to a change in policy of the
State Department of Administration, the University has been
requested to charge all expenses for meal service to the
President's Host Account, 1-01-3005-126. To comply with
that request, he has asked that the following transfers be
approved:
#307 $282.00 from Ceremonials Committee, NSU to Presi-
dent's Host Account (1964-65).
#308 $238.67 from Ceremonials Committee, Reno to Presi-
dents' Host Account (1964-65).
#29 $450.00 from Board of Regents - In-State Travel to
President's Host Account (1965-66).
#30 $350.00 from Ceremonials Commitee, NSU to President's
Host Account (1965-66).
#31 $350.00 from Ceremonials Committee, Reno to Presi-
dent's Host Account (1965-66).
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the above fund transfers be approved.

14. Late Fee for Part-Time Students
The following request from the Director of Admissions was
presented by Mr. Humphrey with his recommendation that ef-
fective Fall registration, 1965, the fee for late registra-
tion be discontinued for special students registering for
six credits or less.
"With reference to the late registration fee for part-time
students (six credits or less), it would seem advisable that
a late fee should not be charged for the following reasons:
"1. The late fee has not been charged for late registration
in Evening Division.
"2. The late fee usually ends in a waiver for extended day
classes since the registrants are normally employed or
in a nonstudent status. The majority are teachers who
register whenever they can get sufficient time during
the late registration period.
"3. The regular fee of $15 per credit is sufficiently high
to make this differentiation from the students who pay
consolidated fees.
"4. This would enhance public relations tremendously when
compared to the small amount of money actually col-
lected, plus it would eliminate a lot of red tape."
President Armstrong has endorsed Mr. Humphrey's recommend-
ation and upon motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mrs. Magee,
it was unanimously voted to discontinue the late registra-
tion fee as described above.
15. Reappointment to Citizen's Advisory Committee for
Fleischmann College of Agriculture
President Armstrong presented the following request from
Dean Bohmont with his recommendation for approval:
"As you are aware, the Citizen's Advisory Committee of the
Max C. Fleischmann College of Agriculture consists of 15
members, the terms of five expiring each Commencement.
Since the group was organized only last year, the five
members who completed their term this June have hardly
had time to become more than well acquainted with the
College of Agriculture's program.
"I would like, therefore, to recommend that all five mem-
bers be reappointed for an additional three year term, 1965-
68. Their names and addresses are as follows:
Eyer Boies Contact
Norman Brown Smith (Plymouth Ranch)
Royal D. Crook Fallon (Crook Road)
Norman Glaser Halleck
Ray Knisley Lovelock (Big Meadow Ranch)
"Mr. Eyer Boies was appointed Chairman of the group for the
coming year, with Norman Brown Vice Chairman. The other
members who are being recommended for reappointment have
been active participants and are truly serving an important
function in guiding activities and programs of the College
of Agriculture."
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the above recommendation be approved.
16. Approval of Estimative Budgets

17. Amendment to Traffic Code
The following request from Mr. Humphrey was presented with
President Armstrong's recommendation for approval:
"On July 7, 1965 the Traffic and Parking Board voted to
request amendment of the new Traffic Code by designating
the present material in Article 4.04 as paragraph A and
adding the following paragraph.
"B. Permits will not be issued to vehicles or persons
having delinquent traffic citation fees."
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the above amendment to the Traffic Code
be approved.
18. Teenage Summer Training Program
President Armstrong reviewed for the Board the following
action taken by the Educational Policies Committee at a
meeting on February 16, 1965:
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the Committee recommend to the Board that
a contribution be made to the support of the Teenage Summer
Training Program for the Summer of 1965; this contribution
to be made from the Regents' Special Projects Fund and not
to exceed $5000.
President Armstrong pointed out that through an inadvertence
this action was not reported to the Board and therefore, the
action was never confirmed. He now recommended that the
Board approve the Committee's action.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried by
roll call vote that the action of the Educational Policies
Committee at its meeting on February 26, 1965, concerning
the Teenage Summer Training Program be approved.
19. Next Meeting of the Board
Upon motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, it
was voted unanimously that no meeting of the Board be held
in August. The next regular meeting of the Board will be
September 18, 1965 on the Reno Campus with tentative dates
of October 23 and November 20 set for future meetings, the
latter meeting to be held in Las Vegas.
20. Dr. Lombardi proposed a resolution be adopted by the Board
of Regents commending Professor Alfred L. Higginbotham for
his long and selfless devotion to the University and to the
Department of Journalism and that his contribution to the
field of Journalism be recognized by designating his
Department as the Alfred L. Higginbotham Department of
Journalism.
Because this matter was not on the agenda, a motion by
Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Ronzone, carried unanimously
that the matter be, nevertheless, placed before the Board
for discussion. It was determined in the discussion which
followed that such action concerning policy should first be
referred to the Administrative and Personnel Committee with
instructions to submit a report to the Board at its meeting
in September.
The meeting adjourned at 12:10 P.M.
