4. Building Committee Meeting
President Armstrong and Dr. Anderson discussed the minutes
as follows:
Meeting of the Building Committee of the
Board of Regents
July 25, 1963
A meeting of the Building Committee of the Board of Regents
was held in the Office of the President of the University
beginning at 7:15 P.M. on the above date. Vice Chairman
Lombardi presided. Other members of the Regents' Building
Committee present were: Mr. Germain, Mr. Jacobsen, Mr.
Hug, and in addition, Regents White and Magee. Mr. Grant
and Dr. Anderson entered the meeting later and Dr. Anderson
presided for the balance of the meeting. In addition, mem-
bers of the University staff were present as follows: Mr.
Humphrey, Mr. Rogers, Professor Mordy, President Armstrong.
Mr. Hancock represented the State Planning Board, and visi-
tors were Mr. Lowell Goff of the National Science Foundation
and Mr. Ed Parsons, architect.
1. The first part of the meeting was devoted to a discus-
sion with Mr. Lowell Goff concerning the possible par-
ticipation of the National Science Foundation in fund-
ing for certain buildings. Mr. Goff pointed out that
under the present policies of the NSF up to 50% for
the construction of research laboratory space, and re-
lated research facilities, is possible through grants
from the NSF for programs involving graduate and Ph. D.
work. Mr. Goff indicated that the NSF is considering
extending its funding program to include Baccalaureate
Programs in Science as well. Matching funds can be
made available for furnishings of research and related
space, for some site development, for divisional re-
search libraries, for seminar rooms and research of-
fices, etc.
Mr. Goff pointed out that NSF is organized in four
sections for this purpose:
1. Mathematics, Physics and Engineering
2. Chemistry and Earth Sciences
3. Plant and Animal Sciences
4. Behavioral Sciences
There was considerable discussion of the mechanics of
application, processing and funding. It was pointed
out that there is a possibility of such matching fund-
ing both for the Social Science and Physical Sciences
buildings, and also for possible rehabilitation of the
Mackay Science building. Mr. Rogers offered to make
arrangements for Mr. Goff to meet with interested mem-
bers of the faculty on the following day for further
discussions.
2. Engineer Rogers was requested to arrange a meeting with
the members of the State Planning Board and Regents'
Building Committee as soon as possible to discuss the
Engineering-Mines building deficiency list and other
matters.
3. Final plans for the Home Management Residence were
presented by Mr. Parsons, architect. After consider-
able and detailed discussion, by motion, which was
approved, the plans were accepted and recommended to
the Board of Regents for approval.
4. By motion, which was approved, it was agreed to recom-
mend to the Board of Regents the selection of the firm
of d'Autremont and Helms, Mechanical Engineers, to
serve as consultants for development of plans for the
Meat Laboratory, Main Station Farm. This is necessary
so that matching funds from the National Institutes of
Health may be sought to cover research aspects of this
building up to 1/2 of the total proposed expenditure.
5. By motion, which was approved, it was voted to recom-
mend to the Board of Regents, the retention of Jack
Knighton as architect for the Dining-Dormitory facil-
ity, Las Vegas Campus.
6. By motion, which was approved, it was voted to recom-
mend to the Board of Regents the retention of the firm
of Moffitt and Hendricks as architects for the Radio-
logical Laboratory facilities, Las Vegas Campus.
7. Mr. Rogers reported that HHFA has established certain
contingencies respecting the approval of the loan of
$2.4 million for the new Dormitory Project, Reno
Campus. These contingencies are first, that the proj-
ect should comprise two buildings rather than one,
(as has now been determined to be more economical)
because of the wording of the State legislation, and
secondly, that, in the interpretation of HHFA, the
Act limits the total expenditure, including furniture,
to $2.4 million. In view of the fact that the Univer-
sity will necessarily have to provide approximately
$160,000 for movable furniture, this will reduce the
total loan by that amount. It is not desirable that
this reduction should stand. In previous similar proj-
ects Attorney Generals' opinions have cleared the way
for elimination of these contingencies, and it was
agreed that Mr. Rogers should continue to work with
the Attorney General's Office to overcome these objec-
tions by HHFA.
8. Mr. Rogers presented a proposal to increase the size of
utilities service to Clark Administration building,
which would involve replacing present panels with 3-
phase power, and placing the service underground. This
would be a project funded by the State Planning Board.
By motion, which was approved, it was voted to recom-
mend to the Board of Regents approval of this project.
9. There was discussion of the proposed rezoning of the
East and West sides of North Virginia Street from Ninth
Street to the Orr Ditch, which President Armstrong had
previously indicated to the Regional Planning Commis-
sion, was opposed by the University. The State Plan-
ning Board also went on record in opposition of the
proposed rezoning to C-2. Previously, on July 11, 1961
the Board of Regents had expressed opposition to a sim-
ilar proposal, as being not in the best interests of
the University. It was also pointed out that, in any
case, the City and County Planning Boards have no auth-
ority to zone any University property, which would
include property on the East side of North Virginia
Street. After discussion the Building Committee voted
to recommend to the Board of Regents that continued
disapproval of the proposed change of zoning be trans-
mitted to the City Council and the County Planning
Commission.
10. The Committee received and reviewed a progress summary
of University projects dated July 18, 1963, provided
by the State Planning Board (below), and a progress
report of project reports under University supervision
as of the same date (below).
11. The Committee took note of a request from the State
Planning Board to the Regents to name an agent of the
Board to countersign all deeds for possible land ex-
changes involving the Las Vegas Campus. This action
will be taken at the Board meeting of July 26.
12. President Armstrong presented a request from Mr. Jack
Hunter, Chairman of the Elko Chamber of Commerce, for
further consideration by the Board of Regents of devel-
opment of a vocational-technical institute on the Elko
property recently given to the University. Mr. Hunter,
in effect, requested the Regents to consider first, a
decision to locate the facility on the Elko property,
and secondly, a decision to seek funds for operation
and capital expenditures in the next session of the
Legislature. It was noted that such action at this
time would undoubtedly be premature for a number of
reasons: first, that it is considered desirable for
the University to have some experience in operating a
technical-vocational institute program through exist-
ing facilities, under the direction of Statewide Serv-
ices, before deciding upon a separate location; and
secondly, that the last session of the State Legisla-
ture directed Mr. John Bunton of the State Department
of Vocational Education to conduct a complete survey of
vocational and technical needs in the State, including
post high school training, and to present this report
to the next session of the Legislature. Pending the
outcome of such a survey, in which Mr. Bunten will co-
operate closely with the University, it is believed
that no action should be taken at this time.
The meeting adjourned at 10:20 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles J. Armstrong
Acting Secretary
The Regents discussed the information which Mr. Goff of the
National Science Foundation had given to the Building Com-
mittee regarding funding of buildings, as per minutes of the
meeting. It was agreed that, at the proper time, applica-
tion should be made to the National Science Foundation for
matching funds, wherever applicable.
A meeting requested by the Planning Board to discuss the
University deficiency list for the Engineering-Mines build-
ing was discussed. Mr. Rogers reported that he has such a
list and has been trying to work with the Planning Board
but that agency is taking the stand that the building is
complete as is. It was agreed that Mr. Rogers arrange a
meeting of the Regents' Building Committee and himself with
members of the Planning Board to determine whether or not
the building is to be considered complete and to discuss
the importance of the list.
Home Management House plans had been presented to the Build-
ing Committee and were again here discussed, especially as
to the scope of activities to be carried on in the building.
President Armstrong recommended approval of final plans.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the final plans be accepted for the Home
Management House.
Dr. Anderson discussed the action of the Committee that a
consultant be employed for design of the Meat Laboratory,
Main Station Farm. President Armstrong recommended the firm
of d'Autremont and Helms, as proposed by the faculty in-
volved.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the Administration be instructed to proceed
with the plans for the Meat Laboratory, to seek matching
funds from the National Institutes of Health, and to employ
the firm of d'Autremont and Helms as consultants.
Selection of architect for the Dormitory-Dining Project in
Las Vegas was discussed.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the Board approve the recommendation of the
Building Committee that Jack Knighton be selected as archi-
tect for the project.
In regard to architect for the Radiological Laboratory fa-
cility in Las Vegas, it was noted that the government people
working on the project had preliminary work done by Moffitt
and Hendricks at government expense. Since they are there-
fore already familiar with the project and also are satis-
factory, the Committee had recommended their retention.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the firm of Moffitt and Hendricks be em-
ployed as architects for Radiological Laboratory addition.
Word has been received from Housing and Home Finance Agency
that the loan for the Dormitory to be constructed on ceme-
tery property has its approval. Two contingencies were
placed by HHFA on the approval of the application and these
were discussed by the Regents. The President has been in
touch with the Office of the Attorney General, and his ad-
vice is that the University can go ahead with one building
instead of two for economy of land and money. The Univer-
sity will provide $160,000 for furnishings from sources
other than the loan.
Mr. Rogers reported that money had been received from the
Legislature for site development and utility extensions.
Some years ago temporary service was installed overhead
from Clark Administration building to the Electrical Vault
#6. There is now need to put the lines underground and
replace power panels in the building.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that the Administration be authorized to request the
Planning Board to let bids on the project to provide in-
crease in service to Clark Administration building.
Copy of a letter from the Manager of the State Planning
Board to the Regional Planning Commission had been received
which notified the Commission that the University opposes
the change of land use district from C-1a to C-2 on both
sides of North Virginia Street between Ninth Street and
the Orr Ditch. The Regents discussed this and other zonings
and it was thought that there might be another (newer) zon-
ing which would be more favorable. Mr. Rogers was asked to
get further information before action is taken.
Mr. Rogers distributed the following progress reports which
had been presented to the Building Committee:
University Projects under State Planning Board:

The State Planning Board has requested authorization from
the Board for sale and exchange of property on Flamingo Road
and asked that the Board designate a member to sign all the
deeds pertaining to the transaction.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that either Chairman Grant or Vice Chairman
Lombardi be authorized to sign the deeds.
The question was raised as to whether this land is in the
name of the Board of Regents or the State of Nevada. An
examination of the Statutes revealed that there may be a
conflict in wording, and Mr. Finnegan was asked to study
the matter further. After examination of the Statutes, Mr.
Finnegan reported that ownership is vested in the State of
Nevada, but that the responsibility is with the Board of
Regents. Mr. Finnegan offered to check the wording in the
deeds, and it was agreed that he do so.
Correspondence with Mr. Jack Hunter, President of the Elko
Chamber of Commerce, was discussed in which request was made
that the University consider a technical College for Elko on
the land which has been donated to it. President Armstrong
reported that at the last session of the Legislature, Mr.
John Bunten of the State Vocational Education Department was
directed to make a study on the subject of vocational-tech-
nical education in the entire State, including the post high
school level, and report at the next session.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously that the Elko Chamber of Commerce be informed
that the Regents have studied their request and will give
it further consideration, but that no action is possible at
this time in view of the study by Mr. Bunten.
Mr. Rogers further discussed the zoning proposal with use
of an up-to-date Supplementary Land Use Classification.
Previously, zoning was maintained at its then present zone
after much discussion with the Planning Commission.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that the President be instructed to protest the
change from C-1a to C-2, that he make the necessary peti-
tion for rezoning the area to R-3, and request that the
University be represented at any hearings on the matter.

will be selected as the recipient, the award to be made

not now be available. Until the time when qualified
students in that field may be considered, any qualified
student from other fields may be selected.
The Scholarship Committee at Nevada Southern shall
select the recipient using the following guides:

but lacking a qualified recipient, selection may be
made from other fields.
2. The selection will be made from among the Junior
students at Nevada southern who will be in full-time
attendance at Nevada Southern for the following
academic year as a Senior student. The scholarship
will be open to both men and women.
3. Since it is the intention of the donors to recognize
good scholarship, and enable a student to maintain
good scholarship through financial assistance, the
recipient must have a record of high scholastic
attainment.
4. One-half of the award will be paid following regis-
tration for the Fall semester; the second half will
be paid following the successful completion of the
Fall semester and registration for the Spring
semester.

Budgets previously considered.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the Estimative Budgets be approved as
presented.
7. Interview Expenses
The President presented the recommendation from Mr.
Humphrey to modify the present procedure. Mr. Humphrey
discussed the current system, which he said had not worked
well. The Office of the Attorney General has approved the
proposal now being presented. The matter had previously
been within the purview of the Board of Regents. President
Armstrong recommended approval of the proposed procedure and
the form as follows:

Office of the President.
2. Upon approval by the President all copies shall be sent
to the Accounting Department, Office of the Business
Manager. If funds are not avilable in the account des-
ignated by the Dean or Director, the forms will be re-

it is assumed that all preliminary paper work (appli-
cation form, reference checks, etc.) has been com-
pleted on this applicant prior to transmission of
this form to the President.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the proposal and form for handling inter-
view expenses be approved.
8. Student Fees
President Armstrong recommended the following changes in
student fees to be effective June 1, 1964, as proposed by
Mr. Humphrey, after consultation with various members of
the administrative staff:
1. Increase the Application Fee from $5 to $10.
2. Discontinue the present Record Fee of $5.
3. Lower the Graduate Student registration fee for
Nevada students registered for 7 or more credits
from $115 to $100 per semester.
4. Lower the Graduate Student registration fee for
Nevada students registered for 6 credits or less
from $16 per credit to $15 per credit.
5. Lower the Graduate Student registration fee for
non-residents from $115 (plus $300 tuition) to
$100 (plus $300 tuition) in conformity with #3
above.
6. Discontinue determination of residency for students
registering for 6 credits or less and charge $15
per credit for both Undergraduate and Graduate Stu-
dents. This would reduce the charge for non-resi-
dent Undergraduates from $30 to $15 per credit and
for non-resident Graduate Students from $32 to $15
per credit.
Further recommendation that: (1) account 41-4012,
Transcript Sales, be discontinued; (2) a revenue account
titled "Transcript Fees" be established in Fund No. 1;
and (3) the balance of 41-4012 ($13,313 on June 20,
1963) be closed to Surplus, Fund No. 1. The approxi-
mately $4600 annual income of this account will further
offset any revenue loss which may result from the fee
changes recommended above.
Mr. Humphrey discussed the recommendation, and explained
that revenue gained on the higher application fee will sub-
sequently offset the loss from other reductions.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the recommendations above be approved.
9. Allocations from Contingency Reserve
Dr. Armstrong explained that when budgets cuts were made,
the Deans and Directors were told that if an emergency
existed, they could request a supplementary allocation.
These requests were received and reviewed, and as a result
the following transfers were recommended for approval by
President Armstrong:

10. Centennial Musical Production
Referring to action of the Board on March 23, 1963, when
University participation in the State Centennial was ap-
proved in principle, Dr. Armstrong referred to a memorandum
from Dr. Young following through with details of the pro-
posed University's participation in a musical production.
A working sub-committee has been established to plan and
carry out this event. Professor Williams and an associate
are engaged in writing of the book, music and lyrics of the
musical presentation with a theme and setting appropriate
to a centennial celebration. The budget for salaries which
was approved by the University Committee amounts to approx-
imately $2000. In addition, released time for faculty mem-
bers and arrangements for carrying the class work would cost
$4950 for the two academic years. Total cost of the pro-
duction is estimated at $12,775 of which the University
would pay $6,950 (as stated above) and the Centennial Com-
mission would pay the balance. President Armstrong recom-
mended that the Regents authorize the sum of $6950 from the
Board of Regents Special Projects Fund for this purpose.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the project be approved
as presented and that the sum of $6950 be authorized from
the Board of Regents Special Projects Fund for the purpose.
The Board recessed at 12:00 noon for luncheon in the Dining
Commons.
The recessed meeting was called to order at 1:35 P.M. by the
Chairman.
11. Jot Travis Student Union Capital Improvement Reserve Fund
President Armstrong discussed a memorandum from Mr. Humphrey
proposing the creation of a Jot Travis Student Union Capital
Improvement Reserve Fund. He reviewed the situation as fol-
lows, and noted that the proposed policy was approved by
the ASUN Finance Board on January 8, 1963.
On October 27, 1950 the Board of Regents approved a re-
quest of the Associated Students of the University of
Nevada that they be authorized to establish a University
Bookstore "as a project of the Associated Students...".
On January 12, 1951 the Board of Regents directed that
the "net profits (of the Bookstore) shall go into a
student union building fund and any deviation shall be
subject to the approval of the (A. S. U. N.) Board of
Finance Control, the Alumni Executive Committee and
the President of the University."
The Bookstore, to date, has not paid their net profits
into a building fund but has repaid the loans which en-
abled A. S. U. N. to purchase the store, acquired stock
and purchased fixtures.
When the Jot Travis Student Union was built, the Book-
store moved into the Union building, occupying approx-
imately 3000 square feet of space, and has been paying
$2700 per year rent, or $.90 per square foot per year.
This rent has been paid to the Student Union Board
which has been responsible for utilities and janitor-
ial supplies in the Bookstore area.
On January 31, 1963, Mr. Thomas A. Seeliger, A. S. U. N.
First Vice President, wrote stating that "...it is the
interest and desire of the Associated Students, with
the approval of the Board of Regents, that future sur-
pluses may accrue to be used for the expansion of the
present Union and Bookstore facilities."
Mr. Seeliger's letter was referred to Vice President
Young and Mr. Humphrey for review and recommendation.
The A. S. U. N. Finance Control Board, the Student
Union Board, Dr. Young, Dean Basta, Bob Kersey and Mr.
Humphrey all worked on the problem.
He recommended that upon occupancy of the expanded
facilities all using agencies of the Jot Travis Student
Union:
1. Pay $.25 per square foot per year to U. N. Fund
No. 1 to be deposited as an offset to the appro-
priate utility expenditure accounts in the Build-
ings and Grounds budget.
2. Pay $.20 per square foot per year to the "Jot
Travis Student Union Capital Improvement Fund".
This fund shall:
a. Be invested by the Business Manager within the
policy control of the Board of Regents and in-
vestment income shall accrue to the fund.
b. Be expended at some future date with the approv-
al of the Board of Regents for improvement or
expansion of the Jot Travis Student Union build-
ing and after consultation with the A. S. U. N.
Board of Finance Control and the Student Union
Board.
3. Each using agency continue to be responsible for
its own janitorial services.
He further recommended that this payment be reviewed
annually with the objective of determining the adequacy
of the utility payment and the feasibility of increasing
the rate of payment to the Capital Improvement Reserve
Fund.
This rate would result in the following payments for
one year.
Student Union Board Square Feet 17,825*
.25 Utility Rate 4,456.25
.20 Reserve Fund 3,565.00
Total $8,021.25
Snack Bar Square Feet 4,774
.25 Utility Rate 1,193.50
.20 Reserve Fund 954.80
Total $2,148.30
Bookstore Square Feet 6,605
.25 Utility Rate 1,651.25
.20 Reserve Fund 1,321.00
Total $2,972.25
Health Service Square Feet 2,765
.25 Utility Rate 691.25
.20 Reserve Fund 553.00
Total $1,244.25
Total Square Feet 31,969
.25 Utility Rate 7,992.25
.20 Reserve Fund 6,393.80
Total $14,386.05
*Includes various student activity offices, including
A. S. U. N.
The total Bookstore rental for 6605 square feet will be
approximately the same as it now is for 3000 square
feet. Use of this reduced rate per square foot will
enable the Bookstore to purchase stock and fixtures to
fully utilize their new space without the necessity of
borrowing money from A. S. U. N. or elsewhere.
He further recommended that no change in present rental
rate for the Booksotre or method of payment be effected
until the expanded facilities are occupied.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the recommendations be approved and that
the Jot Travis Student Union Capital Improvement Fund be
established, as recommended.

13. University of Nevada Press
President Armstrong presented with his recommendation for
approval a proposed co-publishing agreement between the
University of Nevada Press and the University of California
Press. Mr. Laxalt discussed the agreement. If approved by
the Board of Regents, the agreement will be submitted to the
Administration and Regents of the University of California
for final approval. Duration will be until such time as the
University of Nevada Press has the facilities to handle the
commercial aspects of book publishing, but the agreement can
be terminated upon the request of either Institution. The
State Printer cannot handle this type of production and has
assured Mr. Laxalt that the State Printer is free, under
Attorney General's opinion, to give permission to go out of
State for publication. Such authorization has been received
by the University.
Terms of the agreement are as follows:
1. University of California Press to manufacture, promote,
warehouse and distribute all University of Nevada Press
titles. (This will entail actual procedure of seeing a
book through the printing process, storing what is a
considerable investment under terms specified later,
using University of California's Press wide promotional
media, distribution of books to bookstores and direct
mailing lists to selected audiences, billing and ac-
counting procedures.)
2. Imprint: University of Nevada Press
Distributed by University of California Press
3. University of Nevada Press to pay all manufacturing and
promotional costs for 1st printing and reprints. (This
includes newspaper and magazine advertisements, promo-
tional circulars.)
4. All University of Nevada Press manuscripts to be edited
by University of Nevada Press staff. (This includes
presenting finished manuscripts to University of Cali-
fornia Press, preparation of frontal material, relays
of proof copy to authors, etc.)
5. Division of sales income: 30% of list price to Univer-
sity of California Press; balance of income to Univer-
sity of Nevada Press. (For example, if a University of
Nevada Press book sells for $10, University of Nevada
Press will get $7 and University of California Press $3
on a direct mail purchase. On sales to bookstores,
where a 40% discount is standard, University of Nevada
Press and University of California Press would each get
$3.)
6. University of California Press to manufacture and dis-
tribute circulars to University of Nevada Press books.
Promotional schedules to be prepared jointly by Univer-
sity of Nevada Press and University of California Press.
All copy for University of Nevada Press books to be pro-
vided by University of Nevada Press. No University of
Nevada Press titles to be included in University of
California Press catalogues. (This last item would
lead to confusion. In time, we will have our own cat-
alogues.)
7. All University of Nevada Press stock to be retained in
University of California Press warehouses for 12 months
after publication. Bulk of stock older than 12 months
to go to University of Nevada Press. University of Cal-
ifornia Press to pay for any stock transfers between
Richmond and New York, and for stock brought back from
Reno to Richmond or New York. University of Nevada
Press to pay for transportation from Richmond to Reno
or from binders to Reno. (I have made tentative ar-
rangements with the State Printing Office for such stor-
age as is included above.)
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that agreement be approved.
14. Legislative Budget Cuts
President Armstrong had asked Mr. Laxalt to study the pro-
posal that the University publish a brochure setting forth
the effects of the budget cuts by the Legislature on the
program of the University. Regent Jacobsen distributed an
outline of a proposed brochure, which suggested including
the areas of Faculty (salaries, fringe benefits), Physical
Plant (need for increase facilities to meet increased en-
rollment), Equipment (what has had to be abandoned due to
budget cuts), and Maintenance (postponed because of lack of
funds, more costly at a later date). Mr. Jacobsen suggested
that the Regents give further thought to the proposal based
on his suggestions and on Mr. Laxalt's views. Mr. Laxalt
discussed a radio and television campaign along the same
lines, which has already been started. He also suggested
that prior to the opening of the legislative session, the
members be invited to visit the Campus. President Armstrong
concurred, and the Regents agreed to discuss the entire
matter at future meetings of the Board.
15. Courses for Superior High School Students
President Armstrong had distributed copies of a letter from
Dean Carlson concerning the earlier action of the Board per-
mitting selected high school seniors of Clark County to reg-
ister as special non-matriculated students for College level
courses during their senior year. The provision was that
high school seniors be permitted to register for not more
than one course per semester, with a total limitation of
six to eight semester credits for the academic year. It
has now become apparent that a number of such high school
seniors are capable of carrying College class work in excess
of this restriction. The Clark County District has initiat-
ed an "accelerated student program" which results in addi-
tional credits during their high school period. Thus, by
the time they become seniors they have credits in excess of
the requirements for graduation and could have additional
time for additional study. Dean Carlson proposed that this
restriction be modified in view of the above circumstances,
and that high school seniors selected for this program be
permitted to register for a maximum of six credits per sem-
ester as any non-matriculated student is permitted. Such
permission is to be granted to the individual student on
the basis of the recommendation of his Principal and the
Nevada Southern High School Senior Program Committee. The
students' high school program and proposed College program
would be weighed on an individual basis and permission
granted accordingly. President Armstrong recommended ap-
proval of the program which had previously been approved by
the Academic Council to be extended to all school districts.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried unani-
mously that the proposal as above stated be approved, not
only for Clark County, but for other school districts in
the State.
16. Operational Autonomy, Nevada Southern
Dr. White brought up the subject for discussion, pointing
out that this item was included in the report of the Faculty
Educational Planning Committee. She suggested the Board
follow through on the recommendations for Nevada Southern,
including operational autonomy within the University. She
further proposed that a continuing Faculty Committee work
on future planning for the entire University. Dr. Armstrong
replied that the matter is now under study by the University
Council and the Academic Council and recommendations will be
forthcoming as to the scope that such a continuing committee
ought to take. He also pointed out that most of the recom-
mendations in the report have already been put into effect
for Nevada Southern, including internal autonomy in the
management of its own proper affairs, as is true of all
other Colleges of the University. A separate catalogue for
Nevada Southern is planned for the 1966-68 issue.
17. Wildlife Area, Charleston Mountains
Copies of a letter from Dean Carlson and a memo from Dr.
J. E. Deacon, Assistant Professor of Biology at Nevada
Southern, to the Dean were distributed to the Regents and
discussed by Dr. Armstrong. The correspondence proposed
that the University try to establish a natural history res-
ervation or wildlife area in the Charleston Mountains -- to
permanently set aside the area in its natural state as a
unique research tract in what is commonly called Wallace
Canyon area. There was discussion as to whether or not
there might be grazing and mining interests at present in
this area, and it was Mr. Finnegan's advice that the Univer-
sity, if it is interested, make application to the Bureau
of Land Management; if there are other uses, the University
would be notified. Mrs. Magee favored applying for the area
for multiple use, so that if it is being used for mining and
grazing, they would be permitted to continue.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried with
Regents Davis and Magee voting "no" and all other Regents
voting "aye", that the Administration be authorized to make
formal request for reservation of this land to the Bureau
of Land Management, submitting supporting material and
including the map.
18. Group Insurance
President Armstrong reported on the group insurance plan
which is being provided for State employees. This plan,
with Aetna Life Insurance Company, was worked out by a State
Committee on Group Insurance, of which Dean Weems was a mem-
ber, in keeping with legislation of last session (Chapter
470 of 1963 Statutes). The State provides matching funds
of $3 per month for each full time employee, effective
September 1, 1963 for those on the payroll as of July 1.
Those who start after that date must wait six months before
they can participate.
The meeting recessed at 3:35 P.M., until the following morning.
The recessed meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 9:35
A.M. All Regents were present, also Dr. Young, Mr. Humphrey and
reporters Dromiack and Hurschberger.
19. President's Chair
Regent Anderson presented a chair to Dr. Armstrong which was
used by the first President of the University, Le Roy D.
Brown, and his successor, Joseph Edward Stubbs. President
Stubbs turned it over to Carl Horn, then Assistant to the
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, who renovated the
chair. Through the efforts of Dr. Alan Roche of Sparks and
Mr. Horn, Dr. Anderson was able to make the presentation.
20. Assistant to the President
As previously discussed by the Regents, President Armstrong
reported that he had located an individual to assist him
in the long-range financial program of the University. If
this is agreeable with the Regents, President Armstrong
asked that he be given authority to proceed.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the President be authorized to proceed with
the employment of a suitable individual as Assistant to the
President to assist in the financial program of the Univer-
sity.
Dr. Anderson left the meeting at this point to take care of other
business.
21. Dean Dale Bohmont of the College of Agriculture had been
asked to meet with the Regents to discuss the Educational
Planning Committee report as it pertains to his area. He
explained certain changes in organization to reduce admin-
istrative overhead, particularly streamlining and combining
of Departments to better facilitate the aims of the College
-- research, teaching and extension. Some changes have also
been made in some quarters to bring related areas closer
together. Dean Bohmont stated that they are working on
closer cooperation between his people and other divisions
of the University. He discussed the Newlands Field Station
at Fallon and explained plans for tying it more closely to
the work of the College, especially the Experiment Station.
He discussed special Federal funds which are coming to the
University for Agriculture and how he is preparing for their
best utilization.
22. Dean James T. Anderson of the College of Engineering had
also been asked to meet with the Regents to discuss the
report of the Educational Planning Committee. He stressed
training in fundamentals for Engineering students, rather
than specific fields, because the students fit into the
present market better. He also discussed the decrease in
enrollment in Colleges of Engineering and gave his thoughts
on the reasons, saying also that he planned to work to try
to increase interest and consequent enrollment in Engineer-
ing. He further reported that he has started the Department
Chairmen to work on planning in their own Departments. He
discussed the proposed five-year curriculum for Engineering
students and believed that it would "price the field out of
the market". He preferred a curriculum stressing funda-
mentals which could be completed in four years.
23. Desert Research Institute
Professor Mordy has been invited to discuss progress in the
Desert Research Institute in the three years since its be-
ginning. He read a prepared report and used slides to
visualize the growth in faculty, projects, financial sup-
port, etc., of the Desert Research Institute. He reported
that the first year the Institute operated entirely on gift
money; the second year some appropriated money was budgeted.
Fleischmann grant funds provided for significant amounts of
equipment and for recruitment of personnel. As for re-
search emphasis, Mr. Mordy has tried to build up certain
fields especially adapted to this area. Support for the
Desert Research Institute from gifts, grants, State and
County funds, now amounts to more than $3 million. He
pointed out that for every dollar of University funds ex-
pended on DRI programs, the University realizes $8.62 in
matching funds from Federal and private grants.
Professor Mordy then discussed the Summer Science Training
Program in Atmospheric Physics, attended by 40 high school
students selected from all over the United States on grades,
aptitude, interest in research, etc. He also showed films
of the construction of the Atmospherium building.
The meeting adjourned at 12:30 P.M.
The next meeting of the Board was set for Saturday, September 21,
1963 in Reno.
