available funds.
I recommend the work be rebid next Summer and the struc-
ture be demolished at that time.

Manager Humphrey; Engineer Rogers; Isbell, Sandorf, Hancock
and Littlefield from the State Planning Board; Architect

Board staff, presented the attached proposal outlining
methods for clarifying and improving working relation-
ships between the University and the State Planning
Board in the planning and construction of University
facilities built by State appropriation.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, that

ject to staff study of the details of implementation.
Motion carried.

proval. Mr. Hancock announced that the State Planning
Board had approved the plans, contingent upon approval
by the Board of Regents.

Dean Bohmont had recommended that the facility be con-
structed by eliminating additive alternates, acquiring
kitchen equipment as a gift from one of the major sup-
pliers, and applying furnishing money toward the con-
struction cost. In addition, $4300 would have to be
appropriated from other sources for minimal furnishings.
President Armstrong read an analysis of the problems
involved, and Dean Bohmont gave further explanation and
answered questions.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, that

/s/ Kenneth E. Young
Acting Secretary
Dr. Armstrong reported on an informal meeting held in his
Office on Friday (the previous afternoon) with the Chairman
of the State Planning Board, the Planning Board Manager,
Dr. Fred Anderson, members of the University Engineer's
staff, and himself, to discuss the Scrugham Engineering
building as to its completion status and to determine what
should be done about it. It was agreed that a joint in-
spection be made by representatives of the University, the
Planning Board, and the architect or his designate. Items
in need of completion would be determined by this group.
In the evening meeting, as per minutes above, a policy was
discussed concerning the division of responsibility of proj-
ects funded by the Legislature. Mr. Hancock suggested ten
points to be followed, which were approved in prinicple,
with minor changes, as follows:
1. The University shall select, with the concurrence of
the State Planning Board, the Architect and shall
approve his consultants.
2. The State Planning Board shall negotiate, award and
administer Architect's contract.
3. The State Planning Board shall prepare a project budget
allocating the use of appropriated funds. Such budget
shall be approved by the State Planning Board with the
concurrence of the University.
4. The University shall direct the Architect in the devel-
opment of final plans and specifications and shall as-
sume full responsibility for the functional adequacy
of such plans and specifications. In this work the
University agrees to adhere to the budgetary limita-
tions and design standards established by the State
Planning Board and to cooperate with the Architect in
insuring compliance with these requirements. Varia-
tions from these design standards shall be by mutual
agreement between University and State Planning Board.
5. All plans and specifications shall be approved by both
the University and the State Planning Board (including
joint discussion and approval of preliminary plans by
the Building Committee of the Board of Regents and the
Executive Committee of the State Planning Board when-
ever possible).
6. The project shall be bid by the State Planning Board.
The award of a contract shall be by the State Planning
Board with the concurrence of the University.
7. The administration of the construction contract and
construction inspection shall be by the State Planning
Board.
8. During construction, required changes in design or
material shall be approved by the University with the
concurrence of the Architect.
9. Changes in contract price or time shall be approved by
the State Planning Board with the concurrence of the
Architect. The University shall be consulted before
any such changes are approved by the State Planning
Board.
10. Final inspection shall be jointly by the University,
the State Planning Board, the Architect and his con-
sultants, at which time marked up construction drawings
shall be available to all inspecting parties.
After the final inspection and completion of "punch
list" items, the written acceptance of the completed
project by the Architect shall result in the filing of
the Notice of Completion by the State Planning Board.
If approved by the Board of Regents, they will be presented
to the Planning Board for consideration.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the Regents approve the ten points in
principle, as recommended by the Building Committee.
Dr. Anderson discussed the preliminary plans for the Social
Science building in Las Vegas as presented to the Building
Committee by Mr. Mc Daniels, architect. These plans were
approved by the Planning Board, contingent upon approval of
the University authorities.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. White, carried
unanimously that the preliminary plans be approved, as
recommended by the Building Committee.
In regard to zoning matters, it was agreed that an informal
meeting should be arranged with representatives of the State
Planning Board and the Regional Planning Commission for the
purpose of discussion as to the development of areas on the
edge of the University Campus.
Referring to the item in the minutes of the Building Commit-
tee regarding the Home Management Laboratory, Mr. Rogers
noted that the bids were all too high. Dean Bohmont, at
the Building Committee meeting, discussed the possibility
of commercial companies donating many of the kitchen items,
which would take them out of the budget. Dr. White had
offered a personal gift for the project. Mr. Rogers indi-
cated that minimal furnishings could be paid from other
funds, which with the gift from Dr. White and the donation
of kitchen items would make it possible to accept the low
bid. Dean Bohmont had so recommended and Dr. Armstrong here
recommended acceptance of the bid on the basis stated above.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
by roll call vote, with Regent Hug voting "no", Regent
White abstaining, and all other Regents voting "aye", to
approve acceptance of the bid and to proceed as outlined
above.

12. Budget, Tentative Schedule
President Armstrong informed the Regents of the tentative
schedule for the working budget for 1964-65. The plan
is that the budget will be sent to the Deans by October 25,
to be reviewed individually with the President during the
week of November 4. The budget will then be compiled and
mailed to the Regents by November 22. It was agreed that
the Regents would meet on December 7 to act upon the budget.
13. Fee Schedule, Child Development Laboratory
President Armstrong presented with his recommendation for
approval, the request of Dean Bohmont to increase the fee
for the Child Development Laboratory to $40 per child per
semester. Dr. Armstrong discussed the proposal, saying
that the fee is necessary to keep the Laboratory on a self-
sustaining basis. It is estimated that 28 fee paying and
4 non-fee paying children will be registered each semester
allowing a total budget of $2240 for fiscal 1963-64. The
new registration policy makes it possible to include low
income families in the selection criteria as well as other
qualifications which make for diverse group of children.
The low-income families would contribute the 4 non-paying
children, for a total of 32 students each semester. As now
planned, the College of Education, College of Nursing, Arts
and Science and Home Economics will use the Laboratory.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the fee for the Child Development Labora-
tory be set at $40 per child per semester, effective with
the Fall semester 1963-64.
14. Investment Committee
(a) Minutes of the meeting held on August 22 had been
previously distributed to the Regents, as follows:
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS
Minutes of Meeting of August 22, 1963
The Committee met at 12 o'clock noon at the Holiday
Hotel. Present were Board of Regents members, Dr.
Louis E. Lombardi and Mr. Proctor R. Hug, Jr.; public
members, Mr. Julius Bergen and Mr. E. L. Cord; Ex
Officio members, President Charles J. Armstrong and
Business Manager Neil D. Humphrey. Representing the
First National Bank of Nevada were Mr. R. O. Kwapil,
Vice President and Sr. Trust Officer, and Mr. J. C.
Troyer, Trust Officer.
The Committee reviewed the memorandum of July 30, 1963,
prepared by Mr. Troyer and took the following action.
1. Noted that in 1960 the Jot Travis gift for Student
Union purposes had been assigned to the agency
account and, consequently, mixed with endowment
monies. It was agreed that once the entire amount
of the Travis gift had been withdrawn, the agency
account should be limited to endowment monies.
2. The Thomas H. Abraham endowment (1-71-6002) was
reviewed. It was noted that the terms of the will
provide "... give and bequeath to the University
of Nevada two hundred (200) shares of the capital
stock of United States Steel Company, said shares
TO BE OWNED AND HELD by the University of Nevada
in an account known as the 'Thomas M. Abraham
Library Fund' and the income from said shares shall
be used by the University of Nevada for the pur-
chase of publications for library purposes". It
was agreed that the U. S. Steel stock should remain
in the agency account but should be separately ac-
counted for by the Business Manager. The earnings
of the stock should go to the income account (1-51-
6002) and the account should not share in the pool.
3. Mr. Cord recommended increased liquidity in the
portfolio. After considerable discussion concern-
ing the reasoning behind the recommendation, it
was agreed that a step would be taken toward great-
er liquidity by sale of the Municipals (Henderson
G. O. and Fernley Water District G. O.) and rein-
vestment of the proceeds in 91 day U. S. Treasury
Bills.
4. Mr. Cord suggested that stock not be bought or sold
until the Committee has met. It was agreed that
this suggestion would be followed and that more
frequent Committee meetings would be desirable.
5. The Trust Department recommendation that the 273
shares of First National Bank of Nevada be sold
was considered. It was agreed that the shares
should be offered for 100 and sold at not less than
75. The Trust Department had recommended use of
the proceeds to purchase 100 shares J. C. Penney,
100 shares United Gas, 100 shares Caterpillar
Tractor, 100 shares Mc Graw Edison and 100 shares
Continental Can. This recommendation was approved
with the provision the extra proceeds be used to
purchase additional shares of Continental Can.
6. The Trust Department's recommendation to retain
1600 shares of American Potash and Chemical was
approved.
7. Mr. Humphrey asked Mr. Kwapil if he had any recom-
mendation concerning the Clay-Peters Building
stock. Mr. Kwapil recommended no change at this
time and stated that Merssrs. Frank and Marvin
Humphrey had not made a specific proposal con-
cerning either purchase of the University of
Nevada shares or sale of their shares.
8. Mr. Kwapil requested that in view of the Commit-
tee's concern over increased liquidity, it would
be helpful if another meeting could be held soon
and the Committee could make specific recommenda-
tions for changes in the portfolio. It was agreed
that the next meeting would be Friday, September
20, 1963, at 10 A.M. in Mr. Cord's Office at 200
Court Street.
Meeting adjourned at 2:00 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
(b) Mr. Humphrey reported informally on a meeting of the
Committee held on Friday, September 20 in Mr. Cord's
Office. It was agreed at that meeting that on October
29 the Committee would meet again and act upon the
recommendation of the First National Bank to dispose
of certain stocks.
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS
Minutes of Meeting of September 20, 1963
The Committee met at 9:00 A.M. in Mr. E. L. Cord's
Office at 200 Court Street, Reno. Present were
Board of Regents members, Dr. Louis Lombardi and Mr.
Proctor R. Hug, Jr.; public members, Mr. Julius Bergen
and Mr. E. L. Cord; Ex Officio members, President
Charles J. Armstrong and Business Manager N. D. Hum-
phrey. Representing the First National Bank of Nevada
were Mr. R. O. Kwapil, Vice President and Sr. Trust
Officer, and Mr. J. C. Troyer, Trust Officer. Mrs.
Molly Magee, Regent, also attended.
Mr. Kwapil reported that he had, in compliance with
the Committee's instruction:
1. Sold $80,500 par Fernley Water Bonds, 3 3/4%, var-
ious maturities, with a proceed of $78,676.16 and
bought $80,000 par U. S. Treasury Bills due 12/19/
63 (3.521 basis) at a cost of $78,576.00.
2. Had sold 273 shares of First National Bank of
Nevada @ 84 for proceeds of $22,922.84 and bought
the following:
100 Caterpillar Tractor @ 44 1/2 $ 4,491.25

Total $26,457.56
Mr. Kwapil also reported that he had not yet sold the
Henderson bonds due to lack of a legal opinion, but
that he believed an opinion would soon be available.
The Committee agreed that in the event rights or
fractional shares are received by the agent which
require action prior to the next meeting, action may
be taken after circulating a memo of explanation to
the Committee and receipt of at least three affirmative
votes.
The purchase of property in the vicinity of the Uni-
versity for later resale to the University was discuss-
ed. It was the consensus that this should not be done.
Mr. Humphrey was requested to determine whether or not
property taxes would be paid by the University on real
property held for investment purposes. (Secretary's
note: Presently the endowment fund has but one hold-
ing of real property, the Layman Scholarship house at
1021 North Sierra. Property tax is not paid on this
property. The real estate listed in the agency report
is 1/4 of the shares of the Clay Peters Building Cor-
poration.)
Mr. Bergen suggested that the Bank's reports henceforth
show yield based on book value. It was agreed that
this would be done.
Mr. Bergen recommended that the Bank review all stock
held primarily for capital gain and make recommenda-
tions for sale. It was agreed that this would be done
and a written recommendation sent to the Committee
prior to the next meeting.
The next Committee meeting was set for 9:00 A.M.,
Tuesday, October 29, 1963, in Mr. Cord's Office, 200
Court Street.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 A.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
Mr. Hug suggested the possibility of the College of Business
Administration staff assisting in the matter of University
investments.

to serve in his place.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mrs. Magee, carried
unanimously that the personnel recommendations be approved.
21. 1964 Summer School
Dr. Armstrong reported that on a number of occasions, former
Dean Garold Holstine recommended consideration of the trans-
fer of administrative responsibility for the Summer School
Program to the Division of Statewide Services. Due to Dean
Holstine's resignation and the forthcoming absence on leave
of Mr. Dankworth, Assistant Director of Summer School, ar-
rangements for the 1964 Summer School need to be made now.
Accordingly, responsibility for the development and admin-
istration of the 1964 Summer School Program has been trans-
ferred to Statewide Services, subject to confirmation by
the Board of Regents.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously that the Board ratify the transfer of Summer
School 1964 as indicated.
22. Transfers from 1962-63 Contingency Reserve Account
a) President Armstrong reported the following transfers
of $2000 or less from the 1962-63 Contingency Reserve
Account, General University Operation Fund:
#188 $198.86 to Business Manager to provide for
classified salaries (due partly to transfer
of Non-Academic Personnel Officer from Executive
Vice President).
#194 $1140.00 to Military Department, College of Arts
and Science to purchase equipment for use in
Hartman Hall.
#197 $1502.01 to Property and Fidelity Insurance
Account. Principal unbudgeted expense was
atomic reactor insurance.
#200 $62.15 to Buildings and Grounds, Reno, In-State
Travel (like amount of Out-of-State Travel trans-
ferred from Buildings and Grounds to Special
Travel).
b) President Armstrong recommended approval of the follow-
ing transfer amounts of more than $2000 from the Con-
tingency Reserve Account:
#215 $2899.80 to Library, Reno, to cover part of
overdraft in technical salaries. This resulted
from change of one professional position and two
clerical positions to technical (all in Circu-
lation Department) without a like transfer of
money at the same time. Consequently, when the
January, 1963 transfers of salary savings were
made, the Library Professional Salary Account
lost $3721.91 to the Contingency Reserve. This
transfer replaces a part of that money.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried unani-
mously by roll call vote that the above fund transfers be
made.
The 1963 change in State Law allowed state agencies to keep
their books open until August 31. All unexpended alloca-
tions will be closed to the Contingency Reserve and then
the Contingency Reserve will be closed to Surplus. Normally
inter-college transfers could be effected to take care of
small over-expenditures but Mr. Humphrey requested, and
the President so recommended, authority to handle them
through the Contingency Reserve Account, giving a detailed
list to the Board at their next meeting and explanation of
any significant amounts.
23. Transfers from the 1963-64 Contingency Reserve Account
a) President Armstrong reported the following transfers
of $2000 or less from the 1963-64 Contingency Reserve
Account, General University Operation Fund:
#8 $495.00 to Desert Research Institute to provide
a 1/2 time Secretary to Dr. Fletcher for July,
August and September.
#9 $1277.50 to Civil Engineering Department to pro-
vide salary for Professor Bonell to assist in
moving Laboratories and equipment.
#18 $1900.00 to Buildings and Grounds, Reno, General
Repairs Account to provide part (42%) of cost of
remodeling Clark building Reading Room for
Statewide Services Office.
#20 $1000.00 to Buildings and Grounds, Reno Office
and Other Equipment Account, to purchase furni-
ture for College of Agriculture conference room.
#30 $1000.00 to Speech and Drama Department for wages
to provide part-time assistance for general Uni-
versity use of Church of Fine Arts Theatre.
#32 $1452.00 to Office of Student Affairs, Reno, to
provide additional funds needed to convert Sec-
retarial position to that of Director of Housing.
#36 $965.50 to Electrical and Nuclear Engineering to
pay for equipment ordered in 1962-63 but due to
error in Accounting Office not paid out of 1962-
63 funds; hence money reverted to Surplus.
#37 $265.51 to School of Home Economics, College of
Agriculture, to provide additional money for a
temporary Lecturer position.
#41 $1500.00 to Public Occasions Board, Reno, to
provide Clerical assistance.
b) President Armstrong recommended approval of the follow-
ing transfer amounts of more than $2000 from the Con-
tingency Reserve Account:
#10 $5800 to provide $3500 for new Secretarial posi-
tion in DRI and $2300 for change in 1963-64 con-
tract of Professor Mordy.
#24 $9170 to College of Engineering as follows:
(a) $5000 for Electrical Engineering Technical
position previously authorized, but not
funded for 1963-64 due to having been vacant
1962-63.
(b) Clerk-Steno on 9-month basis for Civil
Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
(c) $600 student labor for moving.
(d) $300 operating money for signs, name blocks,
etc., due to move.
(e) $400 for in-state travel.
#31 $8750 to President's Office to provide salary for
10 1/2 months for Assistant to the President.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the above fund transfers
be approved.
24. Collegiate Plant Judging Team Account
In June 1961, when the books were first closed following Mr.
Humphrey's taking Office, there were a number of accounts
which had been idle for various periods of time, and which
were closed to Surplus, upon authorization by the Board of
Regents. Dean Bohmont has now requested the return of these
funds for use in defraying part of the travel costs for this
year's Plant Judging Team. Mr. Humphrey so requested, and
President Armstrong recommended the "correction" of this
transfer and authorization for Mr. Humphrey to transfer
$94.37 from Surplus to a new account, Plant Judging Team,
in Fund Group 51.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unanimous-
ly by roll call vote that the above fund transfer be auth-
orized.
25. State of Nevada Centennial Classes
Since the first graduating class from Nevada Southern will
occur next Spring, during the centennial year of the State
of Nevada, Dean Carlson had suggested that the class be
designated the State of Nevada Centennial Class. President
Armstrong discussed the proposal and recommended that the
classes from both Campuses be so designated.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. Lombardi, carried
unanimously that the 1964 graduating classes of both the
Reno Campus and the Las Vegas Campus be designated "State
of Nevada Centennial Classes".
26. William Elwell Family
Upon suggestion by Mrs. Magee, it was agreed that a letter
be written to Mrs. Elwell, to be signed individually by
each Regent, the President and the Secretary, expressing
symphathy in the loss of Mr. Elwell, and appreciation for
his service.
The Board recessed at 12 noon for luncheon in the Dining Commons.
The recessed meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 1:30
P.M. All Regents were present who attended the morning session,
also Dr. Young, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Laxalt and Presi-
dent Armstrong.
27. Dormitory, Reno Campus
Mr. Rogers presented and discussed plans for the Dormitory
to be constructed on property on North Virginia Street,
across from the present Campus. The plan is for three
buildings on the property, but the proposal at the present
time is for one Dormitory on one end of the property.
Later a second Dormitory is planned on the other end of
the lot, leaving the middle portion for a third building
or for an open area. Legislation at the last session,
Chapter 282, called for a Dormitory for approximately 300
men and a Dormitory for approximately 300 women. The Uni-
versity plan is for both to be housed in the one building.
HHFA has stipulated that two separate buildings be con-
structed, one for men and one for women. The Attorney
General has reviewed the matter and advises that the only
recourse is corrective legislation.
The Regents discussed the housing of both men and women
in the same building, and agreed informally to have the
architect, and Mr. Kersey, Chairman of the Faculty Commit-
tee, explain the plans and the reasoning in regard to two
sexes in the one building.
28. Association of Governing Boards Meeting
Mrs. Magee discussed the meeting to be held in Pennsylvania,
October 16-18, and urged that as many members of the Board
attend as possible to become familiar with the organization
and its proceedings. This would be of value in planning
the meeting to be held in Reno, May 10-12. Dr. Anderson
and Mrs. Magee agreed definitely to attend as representa-
tives of the Board of Regents. Dr. Young will represent
the University Administration.
Mrs. Magee reported on arrangements for the Spring meeting
in Reno. After checking with the local large hotels, she
recommended that the Holiday be the headquarters hotel be-
cause of available meeting rooms, parking, luncheon facil-
ities, and other services which the hotel will provide.
She also suggested that the Riverside be contacted in re-
gard to arrangements for overflow attendance. These plans
were agreed to informally and Mrs. Magee was authorized to
proceed as outlined.
The meeting adjourned at 2:20 P.M. The next meeting was set for
Saturrday, December 7, 1963, in Reno.
