of Land Management Office and in the office of the County
Engineer. These searches left no doubt in his mind that
the corner section point is correctly located. The study
will be continued and later report made to the Board of
Regents.
10. Report of Grievance Committee (Kidwell)
Mr. Grant read the following report, and it was accepted by
the Board:
Mr. A. C. Grant
Chairman of the Board of Regents
University of Nevada
Reno, Nevada
Dear Mr. Grant:
As requested by the Board of Regents, the Grievance
Committee met in the President's office on Wednesday,
September 10, 1958, at 7:30 P.M. to hear the appeal
of Dr. James Kidwell, Associate Professor of Animal
Husbandry. Present were Regents Lombardi, Thompson
and myself; Dr. Wood and Mr. Kidwell. Regents Bastian
and Sawyer were unable to make the trip to Reno.
Dr. Kidwell discussed the procedure used in considera-
tion of the recommendation concerning his promotion.
He stated that he was asking for no specific action
from the Grievance Committee, nor from the Board of
Regents. The fact that he had an opportunity to pre-
sent his case was sufficient and might work to the
good of the University in the future.
Dr. Kidwell was thanked for his forthright presenta-
tion, and was told that a report would be made to the
Board of Regents at the next meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Roy A. Hardy
Chairman
11. Food & Drugs Department
President Armstrong reported on the meeting he had with 3
members of the Department of Food & Drugs, at their request,
in which these individuals presented their views toward Mr.
Randall and the operation of the Department. At the request
of Dr. Armstrong, Dr. Wood had studied the Food & Drugs ad-
ministrative problems, and submitted the following recom-
mendations as an interim measure:
1. That a University committee be formed to represent the
President's office as a general supervisory board for
handling the administrative work of the Food & Drugs
Service.
a) That this committee be composed of Dean Moose, Mr.
Hayden and Dr. Wood.
2. That this committee select from the present Food & Drugs
Service staff one individual for the main office in Reno
and a second individual for the branch office in Las
Vegas to manage the day-to-day routine operations of the
Food & Drugs Service.
a) That the committee might consider as the Reno office
Management Head Mr. Tim Wilson and for the Las Vegas
branch office Mr. A. J. Rafael.
Motion by Mr. Elwell, seconded by Mr. Hardy, carried unani-
mously that, upon recommendation of President Armstrong,
the recommendations of Dr. Wood be accepted, with the modi-
fication that Dr. Joe Moose be made Acting Commissioner of
Food & Drugs, Weights & Measures, at a salary of $150 per
month for the interim period until a permanent Commissioner
is appointed.
A letter from Mr. Randall to the President, in which he
called attention to his need for new quarters, was read and
referred to Dr. Moose.
12. Capurro Property
Mr. Rogers reported that there is a quitclaim deed dated
August 12, 1955, which has not been recorded, and an option
dated August 2, 1955, which has not been recorded. The
option calls for a lump sum payment to Mr. Capurro in the
amount of $43,205 for 16.282 acres. The legislative Act of
1957 authorized the State Planning Board to purchase the
land covered in the option and appropriated the sum of
$45,000 for the purpose. In his report, Mr. Rogers stated
that he had checked with the Pioneer Title Insurance Company
and they will not charge a fee for insuring the land the
University purchased from the Evans Estate; that they will
insure the 14 acres from the Evans Estate or, if they run
into other difficulties, will insure the parcel of land
described in the quitclaim deed dated August 12, 1958 from
Victor Capurro.
Mr. Thompson asked that the effective date of the option for
the next parcel of land be made very specific.
Motion by Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Hardy, carried
unanimously that the Planning Board be authorized to proceed
with the purchase of the Capurro property in line with the
option dated August 2, 1955 for $43,205; and that the Uni-
versity Engineer immediately have recorded the option of
August 2, 1955 and the quitclaim deed of August 12, 1955.

14. Regents Statement on Salary Increases
The President reported for the special committee, appointed
at the September meeting of the Board, to draft a statement
of policy regarding increases which would be a clarification
of apparent "automatic increases" shown in the budget. The
statement, as follows, was adopted by unanimous vote, upon
motion by Mr. Hardy, seconded by Mr. Elwell:
In order to present all relevant information to the
Legislature regarding professional salaries, the 1959-
61 Operating Budget of the University has projected
typical individual salary increases for each authorized
position, in accordance with University personnel stand-
ards for the professional staff, in case these amounts
should be merited by the individuals at the proper time.
However, no salary increases are ever automatic and are
only granted after full review of individual cases in
accordance with established personnel policies of the
Board of Regents and are also contingent upon the
availablity of funds.
15. Nevada Council on Education
President Armstrong discussed a proposal by the Nevada
Council on Education that the University of Nevada join
with that agency in reproducing copies of a student thesis
on "Admission Trends in Selected Land-Grant Institutions
and an Analysis of the High School Credits Presented for
Admission to the University of Nevada in the Fall of 1947
and 1957". The College of Education, in which College the
thesis was written, has added its endorsement to the re-
quest of the State Council on Education.
Motion by Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Elwell, carried
unanimously that the University have 1000 copies printed by
the State Printing Office, for distribution to the members
of the State Legislature, Nevada High Schools, and other
interested groups, and that the University accept the con-
tribution from the Nevada Council on Education as a gift
toward the project.
16. Nevada Highway Department Contract
A change in the contract, approved by the Board of Regents
on July 12, 1958, between the University of Nevada and the
Nevada Highway Department, has been found necessary by the
Comptroller of the University, as follows:
The original wording:
Of this total, the wages, salaries and fees
component accounts for $38,095, the transpor-
tation and travel expense component for $21,392,
and the charge for supplies, Bureau overhead and
general University overhead (comprising 20% wage,
salary and fee expense), accounts for $7,620.
Be changed to read as follows (to place charges for
supplies and other operating expenses where they

17. Budget Adjustment - College of Agriculture
A request was received by the Comptroller from the Dean of
Agriculture stating that an error had been made in record-
ing federal funds, in that $10,600 received annually for
Rural Development was recorded in the Smith Lever totals,
making the Smith Lever total $21,200 more than it actually
will be. This necessitates an increase of $21,200 in State
Appropriation.
Motion by Mr. Bastian, seconded by Mr. Hardy, carried unani-
mously that the budget be corrected, as requested.

At the meeting of the Board of Regents on May 12, 1958,
action was taken approving agreement in the settlement of
the Estate of Daniel C. Jackling. At that time it was
reported that certain persons had appeared claiming an

tacted the remaindermen for approval. The attorney, Mr.

agreement. Upon receipt of the settlement agreement and
Mr. Burke's correspondence under date of September 29,
1958, the Jackling file was turned over to Regent Thompson,
