UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
BOARD OF REGENTS
September 18, 1964
The Board of Regents met in the President's Office, Clark Admin-
istration building, Reno Campus, on Friday, September 18, 1964.
Present: Regents Anderson, Davis, Germain, Grant, Hug, Jacobsen,
Lombardi, Magee; Vice President Humphrey, Engineer Rogers, Pres-
ident Armstrong. Mr. Walsh, Deputy Attorney General, was present
as Legal Adviser and Mr. Hancock of the State Planning Board was
present for a portion of the meeting. Members of the Press were
Mr. Laxalt, Mrs. Glendon, Miss Miller and Mr. Wilson.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Grant at 1:45 P.M.
1. Minutes of Previous Meeting
In the absence of any corrections to the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting, the Chairman declared the minutes accepted as
distributed.
2. Approval of Check Registers
President Armstrong recommended that the Check Registers as
submitted by Mr. Humphrey be approved.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the Check Registers be
approved.
3. Separate Bank Account for Home Management Residence
President Armstrong submitted, with his recommendation for
approval, the following request from Mr. Humphrey:
Miss Alice Gaston, Assistant Professor of Home Economics
and Advisor to the Home Management unit, has requested
permission to open a special bank account for the Home
Management Residence. Dean Dale Bohmont concurs with
her request.
I have reviewed the present imprest petty cash system
used and agree with Miss Gaston that it is a complicat-
ed, time consuming procedure with more risk of loss
than a checking account.
I recommend that you request permission of the Board of
Regents to establish a separate checking account in the
name of the Home Management Residence at Nevada Bank of
Commerce, North Reno Branch. This account will require
only the signature of the Advisor to the Home Management
Residence (presently Miss Gaston); however, for internal
control purposes the then current Student Manager will
co-sign each check.
This will be the only University of Nevada bank account
which does not require the signature of either the
Treasurer or the Chief Accountant. I believe, however,
that it is so exceptional as to justify this unique
procedure. The regular fidelity bond of $10,000 cover-
ing Miss Gaston is more than adequate as this account
will run less than $1000 per year.
In the discussion following this recommendation, in reply
to Mr. Germain's question as to whether this would place
the Board in a position of having to grant the same privi-
leges to others if granted to one, Mr. Humphrey stated
that the exceptional conditions under which the Home Man-
agement Residence is operated justified the procedure and
would not be found in any other area of the University.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried with
Regent Germain voting "no" and all others voting "aye",
to approve the above recommendation.
4. Furnishings for Nye Hall
President Armstrong presented a recommendation from Vice
President Humphrey that a special appropriation be requested
from the Legislature for assistance in the furnishings of
Nye Hall, and recommended approval by the Board. The spe-
cial appropriation needed for this purpose is $151,735 to
assist in purchasing the following:
Bed-loungers $ 47,600
Chests 44,800
Desks 39,200
Wardrobes 50,400
Study Chairs 8,400
Lights over chests 1,400
Mattress Covers 840
Pillows 1,020
Wastebaskets 900
Sand Urns 160
Room Draperies 11,200
Floor Lounge furnishings 13,650
Main Lounge furnishings 4,000
Staff Resident's furnishings 1,585
Office furniture 290
Study lamps 5,040
Bedspreads 6,000
Furniture & equipment for
Recreation Room 5,250
Total $241,735
The balance of $90,000 necessary to complete the required
purchases is available from auxiliary enterprise funds.
Mr. Humphrey pointed out that by the complete furnishing
of Nye Hall, it could be used during the Summer and for
temporary guest housing for conferences, during academic
holidays. It was pointed out that furnishing bedspreads
is especially desirable because of the use of bed-loungers
which require a more expensive fitted spread.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried unani-
mously that a special appropriation for the furnishing of
Nye Hall be requested of the Legislature.
5. Building Committee Meeting of August 24, 1964
Dr. Anderson read and discussed the minutes of the meeting
as follows:
The Building Committee met at 4:50 P.M.
Present Regents: Dr. Anderson, Mr. Germain, Dr. White, Mr.
Hug, Mrs. Magee, Dr. Lombardi, Mr. Davis, Mr. Jacobsen;
President Armstrong, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Humphrey, Dr. Worley,
Dr. Guss, Mr. Louis A. De Monte and Mr. William Hancock.
1. Review Physical Science and Social Science Projects
Sketches
Dr. Anderson explained that upon the instructions of the
Board of Regents, Mr. De Monte was retained as a con-
sultant to review the exterior treatment of the Social
Science and Physical Science buildings.
The reasons for three separate structures for Physical
Science was questioned. Dr. Guss gave the following
reasons: (1) Fumes from Chemistry would not be harmful
to Physics instruments. (2) Physics shops would not
be compatible with Chemistry vibration-free areas.
(3) Planning Board requires design to phasing con-
struction. (4) Classroom separated from other areas
so that student traffic to and from classroom will not
interfere with other activities. Will not create
heavy traffic loads in the areas. In response to Dr.
Anderson's question, it is agreed by Dr. Guss and Dr.
Worley that Chemistry had priority if phasing is nec-
essary. Dr. Worley noted that as a long-range plan the
separation of buildings is sound. Dr. Worley concurred
with the reasoning of Dr. Guss on the three separate
structures. Dr. Worley stated that a circular shape
is not necessary but not objectionable. Mr. Rogers ex-
plained the circular building and how it functions.
Mr. William Hancock agreed that the design of the three
separate structures was the best approach even though
slightly more expensive. He noted that the Planning
Board had not reviewed the plans. Dr. Guss and Dr.
Worley left the meeting at this point.
Mr. Rogers introduced Mr. De Monte who is campus archi-
tect for the Berkeley Campus of the University of Cal-
ifornia. Mr. De Monte reviewed the buildings as "a
total statement". He noted that there are savings in
construction cost when additions are made to the sep-
arate buildings. He stated that neither architect had
adequately studied the other architect's building in
order to make the buildings more compatible. He sug-
gested moving the Social Science building 50 feet to
the west, but stated that method of expansion of the
Library must first be decided. He noted that the
design architects had requested two weeks to rework
design.
2. A. Review the Action of the Clark County Planning
Commission on the Regents' Request of the Lane
Use Change of the University Property Located
along Flamingo Road
Mr. Rogers explained his meeting with Clark County
Planning Commission. The Clark County Planning
Commission has recommended to the Clark County Com-
missioners that the request of the Board of Regents
for a resolution of intent to rezone the land abut-
ting Flamingo Road from E-1 to C-1 be denied. The
Planning Commission stated that the purpose of their
Commission was to prevent speculation in land in the
area, and that they realize that the Regents desired
to rezone this land so that they could either sell
or swap to pick up land in the interior of Section
22 which would be of more benefit to the University,
but still they could not depart from the policy of
having plans submitted as to the indended use for
land on which a rezoning request was made.
The Chairman of the Planning Commission recommended
that we attempt to work either a trade or sale with
a buyer who would submit plans for an improvement
on the present University land, and the Planning
Commission would support the University at that
time in the rezoning from E-1 to C-1. Planning
Commissioners discussed the land lying east of the
University property for which Mr. Wilburn applied
and received a land zone change from E-1 to C-1
some time ago, and instructed the Commission staff
to advertise a public hearing to reclassify Mr.
Wilburn's area from C-1 back to E-1 since the devel-
opment which he proposed has not been undertaken.
Committee Action: Dr. Lombardi moved that "we let
the thing go to the Board; that is, do nothing."
Mr. Germain seconded; passed unanimously.
B. Review the Request Before the Clark County Planning
Commission that Flamino Road be Renamed "Dunes Road"
A public hearing will be held on August 25th, 1964
at 7:30 P.M., by the Clark County Planning Commis-
sion, to consider changing the name of Flamingo
Road to "Dunes Road".
Committee Action: Dr. Lombardi moved that no action
be taken; Mr. Germain seconded; passed unanimously.
3. Review the Pre-Planned Addition to the Library, Las
Vegas Campus by Architect James Mc Daniel
The Planning Board, with funds available to it for pre-
planning, retained James Mc Daniel, the architect on
the original Library building at Las Vegas to preplan
the requested two additional floors to that Library.
Information used by Mr. Mc Daniel to preplan this ad-
dition was supplied by the University Engineer's Office
and the Building Committee appointed for the project.
The Building Committee has reviewed the plans and has
recommended to the President that the plans be approved
by the University.
Committee Action: Mr. Germain moved, seconded by Dr.
Lombardi, that the preplanned addition be approved
subject to further study of the exterior treatment;
passed unanimously.
4. Review the Request of the State Planning Board for an
Overall Priority Listing, in Descending Order, of the
Capital Improvement Projects Requested by the Board of
Regents for 65-67 Biennium
The State Planning Board has been requested by the
Governor's Office to submit a priority schedule of con-
struction for all projects, and the Planning Board has
requested that the University establish, in descending
order of preference, a priority listing of all request-
ed projects on both Campuses.
President Armstrong recommended the following listing:

Lombardi seconded; passed unanimously. It was under-
stood that Permissive Legislation would be sought
separately from the Legislature.
Professor Mordy and Mr. Hellman entered the meeting.
5. Review Preliminary Plans of DRI Research Building
Designed by Architect Ray Hellman
These plans have been developed by Mr. Hellman, members
of the DRI staff, Professor Mordy and the University

Agriculture
Dean Bohmont explained the purpose of the building and
its location on Valley Road Farm next to the Agricul-
tural Mechanics Shop. He noted that $100,000 was
presently in authorized and funded building program
from non-appropriated monies. Dean Bohmont noted pos-
sibility of Federal aid, but that amount of $23,610
from pesticide portion of Federl act which might be
used was small when compared to total needed. Dr.
Anderson noted that this should be discussed in light
of all possible requests for funds.

followed; passed unanimously.
2. Policy on Type of Buildings to be Constructed on Valley
Road Experiment Station
Recommendation: The University Engineer requested that
a policy be adopted as to the type of materials to be
used in the construction of buildings on the Valley Road
Experiment Station. No steel buildings should be erect-
ed; materials comparable to those used in Agricultural
Mechanics Shop and Fish and Game buildings should be
used.
Committee Action: It was the consensus of the Committee
that permanent buildings of those types of materials be
used and that no buildings of steel should be construct-
ed on the Valley Road Farm.

President Armstrong presented the following recommendation

A situation has arisen concerning refund of fees which is

as published in the "Catalog of General Information". I
am informed that certain students presently assigned to
English A will, between registration day and September 24,
be transferred to English 101. Under present policy a
student who withdraws during that time would be provided
a 75% refund. It seems equitable, however, in this case
to refund the entire English A fee and I so rcommend.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried unani-
mously that Mr. Humphrey's recommendation be adopted.

14. Report of General University Extension Committee Meeting,
September 18, 1964
Mr. Jacobsen reported the discussion at the meeting of the
Committee on General University Extension and pointed out
that certain problem areas are under consideration; the
most acute one being the classes offered by Utah to out-
lying communities in Nevada and the inability of General
University Extension to offer this service because of lack
of funds.
The general area of discussion resulted in the Committee's
unanimous approval of the following proposals:
(1) A special appropriation should be requested for Uni-
versity Extension to enable them to better make this
one arm of the University felt more strongly by the
community.
(2) University Administration should approach other Uni-
versities to try to establish more cooperation in the
method of offering programs across State lines.
(3) Future teaching appointments to outlying communities
should be joint appointments to provide more salary
incentive to faculty who are assigned to these out-
lying communities.
(4) Improve public relations between the University of
Nevada and outlying ares and school districts.
Both Cooperative Extension Service and General University
Extension have agreed to work toward these goals. Mrs.
Magee suggested recommendations of Committee should be
sent to Dean Kelly and that General University Extension
be asked to submit figures on proposed supplementary re-
quest for appropriation.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that recommendations of the Committee be accepted.
15. Proposed Natural History Reservation
President Armstrong reported that, following the request by
the Board to obtain Mr. Bowman's expression of his willing-
ness to have the University obtain and use the land in
question, he had been in contact with personnel at Nevada
Southern and had received the following letter in reply:
I met with Mr. Melvin Bowman last Saturday, 12 Septem-
ber, 1964, on the proposal Natural History Reservation.
Mr. Bowman felt that we should discuss the matter more
fully on Wednesday, 16 September, 1964, as he is only
one of several family members involved in water and
grazing rights in the area. On the 16th all of the
interested Bowman family members and their legal
representatives will meet in my Office.
At the time of our discussion, Mr. Bowman indicated
to me that he felt there would be no difficulties
over water rights. He did feel that any danger to
the Bowman grazing rights would result in the Bowman
interests doing everything in their power, legally and
politically, to protect their grazing rights. For
this reason we may need to revise slightly the boundar-
ies in our original proposal if it develops in our
meeting with the Bowmans that there is a conflict be-
tween their grazing areas and the proposed reserva-
tion. Mr. Bowman also indicated that if there is no
unresolvable conflict over grazing rights, they would
prefer that the University of Nevada go ahead with,
or even enlarge upon, the present plans.
The Bowmans will not, however, give me a letter approv-
ing of the reservation before we have accurately
checked the boundaries with their survey records on
Wednesday.
Dr. Armstrong asked for authorization from the Board to
proceed with the Natural History Reservation as planned,
contingent upon satisfactory agreement with the Bowman
family.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that such authorization be granted.
16. United Student Aid Fund Loan Program
President Armstrong read the following request from Mr.
Humphrey and recommended approval:
The University presently has on deposit $3000 with
United Student Aid Fund, Inc. of Belmont, California.
This $3000 deposit makes available $75,000 of loans
to students attending the University. The loans are
made by participating banks.
Mr. W. E. Rasmussen, Director of Financial Aids, has
informed me that the June 30, 1964 report from United
Student Aid Fund indicates an unused loan endorsement
capacity of $20,722.78 out of the original $75,000.
He also notes that since July 1 he has obligated an
additional $10,000.
Mr. Rasmussen recommends that the University contribute
an additional $2000 to the fund. This will increase
our endorsement capacity by $25,000 as the current
matching ratio is 12 1/2 to 1.
I second Mr. Rasmussen's recommendation and suggest
that the money be authorized from the Garvey Rhodes
Loan Fund (1-61-5006) which has an available balance
of $24,461.85 September 10, 1964.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the foregoing recom-
mendation be adopted.
17. Transfers, Contingency Reports
President Armstrong reported the following transfers of
less than $2000 from Contingency Reserve:
#27 $1422 to Finance Department, College of Business
Administration to provide for hiring of Richard T.
Adams to new position.
President Armstrong recommended approval of the following
transfers from Contingency Reserve of more than $2000
each:
#28 $3150 to Finance Department, College of Business
Administration to provide for hiring of 3 part-time
Lecturers.
#33 $3180 to Nevada Bureau of Mines to provide for
printing of additonal manuscripts now ready for
publication.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the fund transfers be
approved.
18. Closing Fund One Accounts, 1963-64
President Armstrong recommended approval of the following
request from Mr. Humphrey concerning transfer of certain
funds:
The unexpended budget balances at the end of 1963-64 totaled
$115,820.77. This amount was closed to Surplus. The open-
ing cash balance (from Surplus) for 1964-65 had been bud-
geted at $100,000.
In closing all accounts we followed the same procedure as
previously agreed upon. All debit balances were covered,
if possible, from credit balances within the Department or
College. This salary accounts were not, however, consid-
ered available for this purpose. If there were insuffic-
ient credit balances within the budget unit a transfer
from the Contingency Reserve was made. Only 6 such trans-
fers had to be made, exclusive of the very minor ones of
a few cents or dollars due to a miscalculation, especially
of a salary account.
I now request that the Board of Regents confirm these
transfers for the record.
Business Manager $ 338.17
Office of Student Affairs 216.72
College of Business Administration 305.40
Graduate School 61.10
Buildings and Grounds, Reno 2,445.15
College of Education 767.90
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the fund transfers
be approved.
19. President Armstrong reminded the Regents of the invitation
extended earlier from the Association of Governing Boards
to attend the American Council on Education luncheon and
meetings in San Francisco on October 30.
Mrs. Magee also reminded the members of the Board of the
Annual Meeting of the AGB, scheduled for October 15-16 in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
20. Because of Miss Alice Terry's impending retirement, Presi-
dent Armstrong recommended the appointment of Mrs. Bonnie
Smotony to serve as Secretary of the Board of Regents
until January 1, 1965.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that such appointment be made.
21. Next Meeting
The next regular meeting of the Board was set for October
23, 1964 at 9:00 A.M. on the Reno Campus.
22. Ray Germain read a letter copy written by Dean Carlson to
the Chairman of the Nevada Southern Faculty Advisory Com-
mittee on the Selection of a Chancellor, with copies to the
President and the Chairman of the Board, asking that his
name be withdrawn from consideration for the position. Mr.
Germain expressed some dissatisfaction concerning the proc-
ess of selection and the length of time it is taking to
fill the position. General discussion followed, and it
was agreed by assent to discuss the matter further in
Executive Session.
23. The meeting adjourned at 4:05 P.M.
