Board of Regents
University of Nevada
Reno, Nevada
Attention: Mr. P. W. Hayden, Comptroller
Dear Sirs:
At your request, and by your agreement with S. J.
Nielsen, the undersigned real estate appraisers have
appraised the property now owned by Mr. Nielsen and
desired by the University of Nevada, according to the

Mattson, Arbiter Appraiser for both. Mr. Mc Neil

The appraisal panel, consisting of the above, now
unanimously agree, in consideration of additional
factors and the change in general market values,
that the fair market value for the subject property
as of this date is as follows:
$5,625.00
We, the undersigned, certify that we have no past,
present or contemplated interest in the property
herein appraised, and we wish to state that neither
our employment to evaluate this property nor the
compensation therefore was in any way contingent
upon the value set.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ W. A. Mc Neil
/s/ Thomas P. Mc Keown
/s/ D. E. Mattson

6. Curtiss-Wright Corporation
President Stout presented a proposed agreement between the
University of Nevada and Curtiss-Wright Corporation as
follows:
September 10, 1957
Dr. Minard W. Stout, President
University of Nevada
Reno, Nevada
Dear Dr. Stout:
This will confirm the conversation had between us with
respect to the exploration by the University of Nevada
of all tracts of land and water owned by Curtiss-Wright
Corporation in the State of Nevada. My ideas are as
follows:
The University of Nevada will provide personnel to
explore all tracts of land and water owned by Curtiss-
Wright in the State of Nevada for the purpose of ascer-
taining any use of the property that would be of bene-
fit to the Curtiss-Wright Corporation and the general
area in which the land is located. Your people will
consider and advise us of any profitable uses to which
we might put parts of the land.
We have made certain plans of our own, but it would be
our hope that the University would make suggestions
that would permit us to extend our plans.
Curtiss-Wright Corporation hereby makes a grant to the
University of Nevada of $25,000 to be paid monthly over
a period of 12 months; the University to make monthly
reports as to the progress of the work.
Curtiss-Wright Corporation will provide the University
with an all-purpose vehicle called the Unimog, which
is to be for the use of the University personnel in
their exploring or traveling over the land. It is a
4-wheel drive vehicle, superior to the Jeep for this
use. The value of the Unimog is $4500 and it is to be
returned to the Curtiss-Wright Corporation at the end
of the year. The cost of operating and maintaining
the Unimog will be paid by the University out of the
grant.
The University of Nevada or Curtiss-Wright Corporation
will have the right to terminate this agreement upon
30-days notice if it is not convenient for either party
to continue with the program.
All reports and matters concerning this investigation
will be regarded as confidential unless released by
Curtiss-Wright.
If the foregoing general outline is in accordance with
your understanding, will you please indicate your ap-
proval and at the same time furnish me with a program
of proposed operation and the names of the individuals
and their positions in the University who will partici-
pate in carrying out such a schedule.
Very truly yours,
CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION
By Roy T. Hurley
Chairman and President
Approved and Accepted:
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA
By ____________________
Motion by Mr. Hardy, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the President be authorized to sign the
agreement with Curtiss-Wright Corporation, and that a
letter of appreciation be sent to Mr. Hurley on behalf of
the Board.
7. Quonset Huts
A group of property owners headed by Mr. K. W. Pennington
met with the Regents to inquire of the University's plans
for the Quonsets recently moved to the edge of the Campus,
opposite property owned by these individuals. Mr. Penning-
ton presented a petition signed by property owners in that
area protesting the location of the Quonset huts because
they consider them an eye-sore. President Stout called on
Mr. Poolman, who explained the master plan of the Campus
and the proposed development for that area. Mr. Pennington
thanked the Regents for the privilege of discussing this
matter with them, and the group left the meeting.
8. Building Program
President Stout called on Mr. Poolman, who reported on the
meeting with the State Planning Board held on Friday, Novem-
ber 1. The site of the Las Vegas Campus was discussed at
that meeting, and its location in relation to the airport.
Mr. Poolman showed, by use of charts, that all factors con-
cerning the location of the Campus were taken into consider-
ation when the site was chosen, and that no factors have
changed since that time.
Motion by Mr. Elwell, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, carried
unanimously that the following resolution be adopted:
RESOLVED, that, based upon information given to the
Board of Regents, it is the opinion of the Board that
plans for development of Mc Carran Field do not jeopard-
ize the Campus location as presently contemplated on
the master plan, but we invite the Planning Board to
continuing cooperation in the development and study of
that plan as well as those of the Reno Campus; and
further recommend that the building program be expedit-
ed.
Mr. Poolman showed preliminary drawings of the married
housing units, men's dormitory and the dining hall.

12. Association of Governing Boards - University Audit
Chairman Grant reported on the meeting in Boulder, Colorado,
of the Association of Governing Boards, which he attended
as a delegate of the University of Nevada. Two matters of
concern to Universities in general were (1) finances, and

versity of Nevada.
Motion by Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Hardy, carried
unanimously that Regents Grant, Bastian and Elwell be ap-
pointed as a committee to investigate firms, costs, etc.,
of periodic audits by outside firms of all phases of Uni-
versity finance, with the view to possibly including such
an item in the University budget to be presented to the
next session of the Legislature.
13. Revenue Bond Building
Since the deadline for submission of preliminary plans to
the Federal Housing and Home Loan Agency is December 10,
and since these plans need the approval of the State Plan-
ning Board and the Regents prior to submitting them,
Motion by Dr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Thompson, carried
unanimously that the State Planning Board be asked to meet
between November 25 and 30 to go over the preliminary
building plans for the dining hall, men's dormitory and
married housing units, and that the Board of Regents meet

14. A. E. Hutcheson
Regent Hardy, Chairman of the Regents Committee to Hear
Appeals, reported as follows:
The Regents Committee appointed to consider faculty and
student appeals met in Room 205, Morrill Hall on Friday,
November 1, 1957, at 4:30 P.M. Present: Regents Bastian,
Hardy, Sawyer and Thompson. Chairman Hardy presided:
Dr. A. E. Hutcheson, Associate Professor of History and
Political Science, had petitioned the Board for considera-
tion of his promotion to full Professor and a salary in-
crease. Dr. Hutcheson came into the meeting, was inter-
viewed by the Committee, and given an opportunity to speak
in his behalf. Letters concerning Dr. Hutcheson from Dr.
Elliott, Chairman of the Department, Dr. Hicks, former
Chairman of the Department, Dr. Irwin, Dean of the College
of Arts and Science, and Dr. Wood, Academic Vice President,
were read and studied by the Regents Committee.
Dr. Hutcheson, having nothing further to present, was ex-
cused, and the Committee discussed Dr. Hutcheson's peti-
tion.
Motion was made by Mr. Sawyer, and seconded by Mr. Bastian,
that the Committee recommend to the Board that Dr. A. E.
Hutcheson be promoted to full Professor and that his salary
be increased to $7700 effective July 1, 1957. The motion
carried with unanimous vote. Mr. Hardy cast the vote of
Dr. Lombardi in favor of the motion, on the basis of a
letter received from Dr. Lombardi, that he would favor such
action.
Motion by Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Hardy, carried
unanimously that the recommendation of the Committee to
promote Dr. A. E. Hutcheson to the rank of Professor at a
salary of $7700 for the academic year 1957-58 be approved.
Mr. Hardy read from a letter received from Dr. Lombardi, as
follows:
Dr. Hutcheson's request for the promotion to the rank
of Professor - I am sure that most of the Board knows
my feeling, when at the last meeting past policy was
changed when the Board overruled the Administration on
Promotions. I felt and still feel that to be consis-
tent, Dr. Hutcheson should be given the rank of Pro-
fessor and the salary commensurate with that position.

dent of the University of Nevada.
17. Public Relations
Mr. Grant presented a letter from Ed Oncken of Las Vegas

in the man you choose to run it." President Stout reported

office.
Motion by Mr. Sawyer, seconded by Mr. Hardy, carried unani-
mously that the proposal of Mr. Oncken be tabled.

Academic Vice President.
