President Armstrong presented the following letter concern-
ing the request for transfer of certain funds:
October 14, 1964
Dear Dr. Armstrong:
As you know, I am the Vice Chairman of the Friends of
the University of Nevada Library. By and on behalf of
the Board of Directors of the Friends, we respectfully
request that you present to the Board of Regents, the
following proposal:
That the Board of Regents authorize a transfer from
the Board of Regents Special Project Fund (1-51-
4056) of an amount equal to the interest earned by
investment of the available balance of the Book
Fund (1-15-4001) since its origin.
It is our understanding that investment of sur-
plus operating capital occurs by Fund Groups and
that the interest is not usually prorated back to
the individual funds. We would greatly appreciate
an exception being made in this case. The size of
the Book Fund is significant and the proration of
interest earned would be helpful. We assume that
it is possible that if this is done the income
might be matched by the Fleischmann Foundation.
Sincerely,
Clark J. Guild, Jr.
President Armstrong explained that upon receipt of the above
letter, he had referred the request to Mr. Humphrey and had
then received the following reply:
October 19, 1964
MEMORANDUM
TO: President Charles J. Armstrong
FROM: Neil D. Humphrey, Vice President-Finance
SUBJECT: Request of Clark J. Guild, Jr. Regarding
Interest for Book Fund
If the Book Fund (1-51-4001) had been invested separate-
ly and earned interest at the rate of 3.5% per annum on
the average monthly balance since November, 1963, the
fund would have earned $2923.85 through September, 1964.
This is, of course, not the way the fund has handled.
It was invested in confirmity with Board of Regents
policy with other funds as defined. The interest earn-
ed was credited to the Board of Regents Special Projects
Fund (1-51-4056).
In the discussion following, it was the consensus of the
Board that no action be taken on this request until Presi-
dent Armstrong had informally explored the situation to
determine the position of the Fleischmann Foundation.
President Armstrong presented the following request for
transfer of certain funds:
Effective July 1, 1964, $6000 of Dr. Fletcher's salary
is paid to him from 1-13-3013, DRI Project No. 13,
Cancer Research. The balance of $9842 is paid from
DRI, Fund One. Again this year we are unable to pay
from Fund One that portion of the fringe benefits
(Retirement and NIC) related to the $6000 part of his
salary and Dr. Fletcher informs me that he has no
other funds available.
I wish therefore, to recommend that $361.53 be trans-
ferred from 1-51-4056, Board of Regents Special Projects
to 1-13-3013 to provide $345 retirement premium and
$60.35 NIC premium. This will, of course, require Board
of Regents action.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously by roll call vote that the above transfer of
funds be approved.
4. Building Committee Meeting, October 22, 1964
Mr. Jacobsen read and discussed the minutes of the Building
Committee meeting as follows:
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
BUILDING COMMITTEE OF BOARD OF REGENTS
Meeting of October 22, 1964
The Building Committee of the Board of Regents met in the
Travis Lounge of the Jot Travis Student Union building.
Present: Regents White, Hug, Davis, Jacobsen, Anderson;
President Armstrong, Vice President Humphrey, Engineer
Rogers. Mr. Hancock, Mr. Lockard, Mr. Casazza, Dr. Guss
and Dr. Worley were present for a portion of the meeting.
The meeting was called to order by Mr. Jacobsen at 3:25 P.M.
1. Mr. Hancock's request to attend Building Committee meet-
ings was discussed. Dr. Armstrong recommended that Mr.
Hancock be invited to Building Committee meetings and
to Board meetings and that a University representative
be invited to Executive Committee Planning Board meet-
ings when University business would be discussed.
Motion by Mr. Hug that President Armstrong's recommenda-
tion be adopted, seconded by Mr. Davis. Carried.
2. Review of preliminary plans for the Physical Sciences
Project.
President Armstrong read a letter from the Faculty Ad
Hoc Committee which recommended approval of the prelim-
inary plans, dated October 20, 1964, with a requirement
of further study of arrangement within the spaces. Mr.
Lockard explained the plans. President Armstrong rec-
ommended approval of the preliminary plans as recommend-
ed by the Faculty Ad Hoc Committee.
Motion by Mr. Hug that President Armstrong's recommen-
dation be adopted, seconded by Mr. Davis. Carried
unanimously.
3. Disposal of Las Vegas Campus Property, Flamingo Road
Mr. Rogers recommended that the northeast section of
this property be the first traded or sold. With the
dedication of Swenson Street along the center section
line some consideration must be given to the control
of the land each side of this street from Flamingo
Road to the Campus proper. If the land on each side
is retained and is under the control of the Board of
Regents this task will be simplified. This property
along Flamingo at Swenson Street should appreciate
more in value then that at the northeast corner because
the area will be greatly improved when the drain ditch
is placed in a concrete ditch. Mr. Rogers explained
the possible trade for the Catholic Church property.
Dr. Anderson, Regent, entered the meeting.
Mr. Hancock recommended trade or sale of entire C-1
area on Flamingo Road and, if sale, deposit would be
made in Nevada Southern Land Acquisition fund to buy
southwest interior land.
President Armstrong recommended that the land in the
northeast area be considered first for sale or trade.
Motion by Mr. Hug, seconded by Dr. Anderson, that
President Armstrong's recommendation be adopted.
Carried unanimously.
It was the consensus of the Board members that possible
trade for the Catholic Church land also be pursued.
Dr. Anderson concurred in the action on the Physical
Science Project.
4. Report Entitled "Revision of Renewable Resource Program"
Developed by the College of Agriculture
President Armstrong reviewed the previous action by the
Building Committee on this request. Dean Bohmont re-
viewed his letter of request which outlined the method
that could be followed to accomplish this project. He
stated that the office-conference, classroom area could
be accomplished first by use of $100,000 on hand and
two grants of Federal Pesticide Facility Matching funds
of $23,610 each; later, the two wings could be built
and then the research facility could be accomplished.
President Armstrong recommended that Dean Bohmont's
proposal be approved.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Hug, that
President Armstrong's recommendation be adopted.
Carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 4:50 P.M.
James D. Rogers
Acting Secretary
Item #1 - Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis,
carried unanimously that action of the Committee become
action of the Board.
Item #2 - Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. White,
carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Commit-
tee be adopted.
Item #3 - Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Dr. Anderson,
that the action of the Committee become the action of the
Board, carried with Mr. Germain opposing and all others
voting "aye".
President Armstrong recommended that the Building Committee
be authorized to act for the Board of Regents in the matter
of any land transaction proposed by the Planning Board con-
cerning the Flamingo Road property.
Motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried unani-
mously that the President's recommendations be approved.
Item #4 - Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis,
carried unanimously that action of the Committee become
action of the Board.
President Armstrong called the Regents' attention to an
item carried over from the previous meeting of the Board
wherein the Regents had verbally approved the site location
of the DRI building with the stipulation that formal action
would be taken at this meeting.
Motion by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, that the
informal action of September 19 of the Board be confirmed
and the recommended site for the DRI building be approved,
carried with Mr. Germain opposing and all others voting
"aye".
Dr. White expressed a desire to see a land acquisition foun-
dation established to take care of the future land needs for
both Campuses. Dr. Anderson concurred and furthur stated
the University should be looking for additional land while
it is still available and fairly reasonably priced.
5. 4-H Camp at Lake Tahoe
President Armstrong reported that proposed legislation is
now being drafted whereby the status of the camp would be
clarified. The University Administration is going over
recommendations.
6. At the suggestion of Chairman Magee, Dr. Anderson, who
attended the AGB meeting at Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
gave a short report of the meeting. Mr. Germain also re-
ported briefly on the session hosted by AGB at the American
Council on Education meeting in San Francisco.
7. Progress Report - Building Program
Mr. Rogers presented the following report from the State
Planning Board, showing the status of capital improvement
projects of the University of Nevada under the jurisdiction
of the Nevada State Planning Board:
1. University of Nevada, Reno Campus
(a) Construction Projects
1. Installation of Fluid Mechanics Laboratory,
Engineering-Mines Building. Filing of Notice
of Completion is pending resolution of 1 item
of work.
2. Connection of Laboratory Benches, Engineering-
Mines Building. All work on the original con-
tract has been completed. Additional work re-
quested by the University of Nevada is nearly

Planning Board. It is anticipated that the
Architects can be authorized to proceed with
the working drawings early in November, 1964.
Architect indicates that it will take him 5
to 6 months to complete the working drawings.
We therefore anticipate a bid date in May of
1965. Based on this analysis we have requested
the Bonding Commission to delay sale of bonds
until March, 1965.
2. Physical Science Building. Preliminary plans
are pending approval by University of Nevada.
Upon approval of the University and the State
Planning Board, contract will be negotiated
with the Architect for the design of the Chem-
istry Classroom portion of this complex. Arch-
itect anticipates that 6 months will be requir-
ed for the completion of working drawings on
this portion of the work. Based on this sched-
ule we anticipate a bid date some time in July,
1965.

dicated that there may be some difficulty in
occupying the classroom portion of the build-
ing as early as anticipated.
2. Water Line to Dormitories. Contract has been
completed pending final sterilization of the
line by the State Department of Health.

in the new buildings for educational television facilities.
Mr. Rogers explained that mixer rooms where possible are
being provided for such purposes and conduits are being
placed in the building for later use. He further explained
that his office is working with Dr. Potter of Audio Visual
Aids to determine the availability of federal funds for
educational television purposes.
8. Report of Meeting of Special Ad Hoc Committee on Property
Acquisition
Dr. Anderson presented minutes of meeting as follows:
October 5, 1964
The meeting was called to order at 8 P.M. in the President's
Office. Dr. Fred M. Anderson presided as Chairman. Present
were Regents Proctor R. Hug, Jr. and Grant Davis. Also
present were Deputy Attorney General Daniel R. Walsh, Uni-
versity Engineer James D. Rogers and Vice President-Finance
Neil D. Humphrey.
Mr. Humphrey reviewed the problems as follows:
1. The Attorney General has issued an opinion that the
University can purchase real property with non-ap-
propriated funds, can purchase subject to a mortgage
but cannot borrow money.
2. The Board of Regents has authorized purchases within
a defined area and allocated $50,000 for this pur-
pose.
3. No property has been purchased yet although four
parcels have been offered and appraised. In three
cases the property was owned in fee simple and
would have required a new mortgage. In one case
the existing mortgage was less than 1/3 the value
of the property.
4. The First National Bank of Nevada has agreed that
it would mortgage this property with the existing
owner, but the terms would be 6 1/2% for 15 years.
The consensus was that purchasing property with 6 1/2%
encumbrances was not defensible when the University
could secure 3 1/2% to 4% money if it had the legal
ability. Various alternatives were discussed at length.
It was agreed that the owners of the four parcels under
consideration should be notified that the University is
not now able to purchase their property and that legis-
lation should be requested which will: (1) authorize
the purchase of property and the borrowing of money for
this purpose, and (2) clarify title to all present Uni-
versity property.
Meeting ajourned at 10:20 P.M.
Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that legislation should be requested which
would authorize the purchase of property and the borrowing
of money for this purpose.
There was much discussion regarding possible acquisition
of other land by the University to fulfill future require-
ments. Dr. White again suggested the formation of a land
acquisition foundation for just such a purpose. Mr. Hancock
then discussed with the Regents a pilot program now underway
in the Las Vegas area whereby State, City or County agencies
can request from the BLM the withdrawal of certain public
lands to prevent their being patented to private individ-
uals. This land could then be patented to the agency, in
this instance the University. Mr. Hancock indicated that
Mr. Penny of the BLM is trying to wind up this program by
November 15 and if the University has a requirement for this
kind of property, a request should be made to the BLM as
soon as possible. President Armstrong stated that this tied
in with the proposed Natural History Reservation and report-
ed as follows on the letter from Dr. Deacon:
The District Director in Las Vegas asked me to pass
along his recommendation that the University of Nevada
request a "Protective Withdrawal" for Carpenter Canyon
instead of attempting to purchase. He assured me that
such action would allow the University to use the area
as if they owned it. He feels that this arrangement
would put him in a more favorable position to counter
possible public opposition.
Following withdrawal, the University would enter into
a "Use Agreement" with BLM. This agreement would spell
out the privileges, restrictions and responsibilities
of both organizations.
Dr. Williams spoke recently with Mr. Melvin Bowman, the
holder of grazing rights. He appeared tentatively fav-
orable but wanted to discuss the matter more thoroughly
when his lawyer could participate. We will probably
have to allow some grazing at certain times of the year
regardless of whether purchase or withdrawal is effect-
ed.
The final report of the Natural History Reservation
Committee recommended purchase....
... BLM spokesmen have stated that should we request a
"Protective Withdrawal" BLM local, State and national
officials would proceed with haste to withdraw the land
and develop a Use Agreement with us.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried unani-
mously that the Building Committee, with the cooperation
of representatives of the State Planning Board, be given
authority to negotiate with representatives of the Bureau
of Land Management for acquisition and withdrawal of BLM
land in Clark County, and if time limitations require to
enter into an agreement with BLM for such acquisition or
withdrawal.

12. Citizen's Advisory Committee on Nursing Program
President Armstrong presented the following letter from Mr.
James R. Harrison, Chairman, Citizen's Advisory Committee
to the President for University Nursing Programs, request-
ing the addition of several members to the Committee:
In reviewing the members of the Citizen's Advisory
Committee to the President for University Nursing
Programs, we have found that there are very few mem-
bers on this Committee from Southern Nevada. It is
the opinion of the undersigned, along with Miss Elmore
and other members contacted, that it would be desirable
to add 10 or 15 additional names to the Committee from
the Las Vegas area. Not only would it help eliminate
the feeling expressed by some of the southern members
that favoritism was shown to the North, but we feel it
would give additional support to the establishment of
the Nursing School Program at the Southern Nevada Branch
of the University of Nevada.
We would appreciate, therefore, your consideration of
appointing to the Committee at least 10 of the 14
citizens listed on the attached enclosure, or all 14
if you so desire. We hope to be able to invite them
to the next meeting which we plan to hold in Las Vegas
on October 15.

13. Recommendations Concerning Nursing Program
President Armstrong presented to the Board the following
letter from the Nevada Public Health Association:
The results of a year-long study of Nursing needs and
resources reported in the publication "Nursing in Nevada
1964: A Reappraisal of Needs and Resources" has been
released by the Nevada Public Health Association for
distribution to interested individuals and agencies.
The concern for action on implementation of the recom-
mendations has stimulated this letter to the Board of
Regents of the University of Nevada requesting cooper-
ation in the following:
Recommendation No. 1: (Grateful acknowledgement is made
of the University's leadership in already implementing
this action) Begin plans for the development of an As-
sociate Degree program at Nevada Southern University by
appointing a Director for the program whose responsi-
bilities would be:
a. To work with faculty of the baccalaureate degree
programs at Nevada Southern for the coordination
of general education courses with Nursing courses.
b. To work with hospital Administration and personnel
in planning experiences for Nursing students and
establishing written agreements for the utiliza-
tion of facilities for education.
c. To build up the Library for Nursing students.
d. To keep apprised of federal bills and other re-
sources which might aid in adding building to the
Campus or bring in other types of support.
e. To work with school Nurses and counselors in re-
cruitment of students.
f. To develop the curriculum. In order to facilitate
continuing education of the graduates of an Asso-
ciate Degree program who might wish to obtain a
baccalaureate degree, this planning would best be
done in cooperation with the faculty of the Orvis
School of Nursing.
g. To seek faculty qualified to teach in a University
setting.
h. To engage in any other activities necessary for
establishing a sound program.
The presentation of this recommendation to the President
and Board of Regents of the University of Nevada is seen
as the responsibility of the Executive Committee.
Recommendation No. 2: Immediate plans for expansion of
the Orvis School of Nursing be made for an anticipated
enrollment of 200 by 1967.
a. Additional staff to total 20 by 1967. At a 1 to 10
student-faculty ratio and with an enrollment of 200,
this will be necessary.
b. Need for budgeting for more office space and equip-
ment, for more classroom space and all other ex-
penses contingent upon expansion.
It is suggested that the Executive Committee of the
Survey present the findings in this report to the Pres-
ident of the University and the Board of Regents of the
University as justification.
Recommendation No. 9: Immediate thought be given to the
possibility of another baccalaureate degree program at
the Nevada Southern Campus with first emphasis to be
for Registered Nurse students.
Recommendation No. 10: Consideration be given by Con-
tinuing Education and Statewide Services of the Univer-
sity to a plan for technical program open to Practical
Nurses for developing technical skills to relieve pro-
fessional Nurses for patient care.
As sponsor of the Nursing Survey, the Nevada Public
Health Association gratefully acknowledges the contri-
bution by many organizations and agencies, as well as
enlisting support for future action.
President Armstrong recommended the Board review the recom-
mendations contained in the above letter. He noted that
the Nevada Public Health Association had acknowledged the
action already taken by the University concerning the Asso-
ciate Degree Program in Nursing and suggested that the
Nevada Public Health Association be advised that the Uni-
versity Administration would give careful consideration to
the remaining recommendations in their letter.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Hug, carried
unanimously that President Armstrong's recommendation be
approved.
14. Separate Budget for Off-Campus Programs
The following budget for Off-Campus programs, prepared at
the request of the Board at the meeting of September 18,
was presented by President Armstrong with his recommenda-
tion that a separate appropriation be requested from the

experience) 34,350 34,350
Appropriation requested 61,598 60,719
Total $95,948 $95,069
Explanation:
The University presently operates an Off-Campus Division as
a part of General University Extension. The 1964-65 budget
is $28,870 and is entirely dependent upon student fees. The
small communities more distant from either Reno or Las Vegas
have found it difficult to attract a sufficient number of
students to cover the expenses involved. No subsidy has
been available, consequently Hawthorne, Winnemucca, Tonopah,
Elko, Ely, Panaca and other areas have not been able to have
regularly scheduled courses especially desired and needed
by public school teachers.
This budget would enable the University to serve all of
these areas.
Included are a Director of the Off-Campus Center at Nevada
Southern, a Secretary, and approximately $58,000 each year
to pay faculty who will travel to communities throughout
the State. This subsidy is sufficient to offer two courses
per year in six communities which cannot support the present
program.
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Jacobsen, carried
unanimously that the proposed budget be approved and that
a separate appropriation be requested from the next Legis-
lature to support the Off-Campus Programs for the coming
biennium.
Dean Kelly was present for this item of business. In the
discussion following, Dean Kelly reported that the Educa-
tional Television Communications Survey was complete and
that a report would be presented to President Armstrong
within a few days and would be ready for presentation to
the Board at their next meeting.
15. Housing and Home Finance Agency Projects
President Armstrong recommended that the following reso-
lutions (required by Housing and Home Finance Agency) con-
cerning the construction of Dining and Dormitory facilities
at Nevada Southern, as presented by Mr. Humphrey, be adopt-
ed:

mously by roll call vote that Resolutions #64-9 and #64-10

Mr. Humphrey suggested that, since the final plans for the
Dormitory and Dining Facilities at Nevada Southern and the
Radiological Laboratory were not ready for this meeting,
the Building Committee be authorized to approve final plans.
President Armstrong so recommended.
Motion by Mr. Jacobsen, seconded by Mr. Davis, carried
unanimously that the Building Committee be authorized to
approve final plans for the Dormitory and Dining Facil-
ities and the Radiological Lab, with the further recom-
mendation that the entire Board be advised of the date of
the meeting at which the final plans are to be presented.
16. Homecoming Day
President Armstrong reminded the Regents of the prepara-
tions which had been made by the students for the members
of the Board to ride in the parade on Homecoming Day and
informed them of the time and place for forming.
17. President Armstrong briefly discussed his plans for a
speaking tour throughout the State for the purpose of meet-
ing with as many people as possible to present the Univer-
sity's future needs and plans for the next biennium. Talks
will be made chiefly to service clubs and a "Budget in
Brief" will be presented which will set forth problems en-
countered due to insufficient funds.
18. After considerable discussion on the areas of research now
being conducted in all Departments of the University, it
was the consensus of the Board that some means should be
found by which they might become better informed concern-
ing projects now active at the University and most spe-
cifically in DRI.
Mr. Jacobsen moved that the Chairman pro tem be authorized
to name an ad hoc committee to undertake a thorough study
of the research projects now underway in all areas of the
University. There were no dissenting votes.
(Chairman pro tem Magee named the following to the Regents'
ad hoc Committee on Research: Dr. Fred Anderson, Chairman,
Mrs. Richard Magee, Dr. Juanita White and Mr. Grant Davis.)
19. Next Meeting
