Dr. Rothermel indicated that one section would be reserved
for students and that anyone registered as a full time
student would have access to a seat at every athletic event
held in the Center. In response to a question from Regent
Mc Bride, Dr. Rothermel also stated that executive officers

is presently done. Dr. Rothermel also indicated that no
decisions have as yet been reached as to the specifics of
ticket sales or the management of the Center.
10. Tonopah Hall Renovations
At the November 6 meeting a preliminary report dealing with
needed repairs and improvements at Tonopah Hall was present-

increased security and/or lighting.
13. Resolution of Appreciation
Regent Buchanan presented the following resolution in ap-
preciation of the 6 years of service to UNLV by Tony Knap:

ing career at UNLV.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Coach Knap has guided UNLV
football from NCAA Division 2 status to Division 1 com-
petition. That through his coaching endeavors he has
brought UNLV football into the ranks of the top Univer-
sities in the country.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Knap's record during his
six years at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has
resulted in winning football seasons, NCAA Division 2
playoffs, and provided the University with an exemplary
type of football program. His record during his tenure
at UNLV is 47 wins, 19 losses and 2 ties.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the University does hereby
appreciate the efforts and leadership that Tony Knap
has developed during his 18 years of major College
coaching. That by reason of his coaching, the players
who have served under him at UNLV and other Universities
have gone on to become better citizens, and have bene-
fited by his winning ways and clean sportsmanship.
BE IT RESOLVED, that the University Board of Regents
appreciates all that Coach Knap has done for the Uni-
versity and on behalf of the University of Nevada Board
of Regents we extend this Resolution commending him for
his fine performance while at UNLV, and best wishes for
his future retirement.
Mrs. Whitley moved approval of the resolution. Motion sec-
onded by Mr. Mc Bride, carried without dissent.
14. Change in Organizational Structure, CCCC
President Eaton presented a plan to modify the organization-
al structure at CCCC by the establishment of the position of
Director of Affirmative Action and Minority Affairs to ex-
pand service to women and minorities. She explained that
this position would be created by reassigning the current
Director of Personnel and would require no additional pro-
fessional FTE and would entail no change in salary.
Mrs. Whitley moved approval of the request. Motion sec-
onded by Mr. Mc Bride, carried without dissent.
15. Bid Opening, CCCC Learning Resources Center
President Eaton reported that bids had been opened for the
Learning Resources Center on November 10 (bid tabulation
filed with permanent minutes). The construction budget for
this project was $3,055,000. Dr. Eaton requested the
Board's concurrence with the State Public Works Board's
recommendation to award a contract to the low bidder, Del
E. Webb Corporation, in the amount of $2,311,600.
Mr. Karamanos moved approval of the award of a contract to
Del E. Webb Corporation. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc Bride,

16. CCCC Special Course Fee: Telecourses
President Eaton reported that CCCC, in cooperation with the
Public Broadcasting System, will be able to provide tele-
course instruction for credit by means of PBS broadcasting,
effective January, 1982. State appropriations and present
course fees will enable CCCC to support staffing and materi-
als for this course; however, PBS, as a part of its li-
censing requirement, includes a $15 fee for each student en-
rolled. Dr. Eaton requested authorization to establish a
$15 special course fee in addition to the regular course
credit fee for these telecourses provided through the Public
Broadcasting System.
Mr. Mc Bride moved approval of the request. Motion sec-
onded by Mrs. Fong, carried without dissent.
17. Additions to Carson City Campus of WNCC
President Davis recalled that at the August 3, 1981 meeting,
architect Maurice Nespor was appointed to prepare estimates
and plans for the following projects at the Carson City
Campus:
(1) Construction of handicapped outside entry and exit
areas.
(2) Remodeling of present Art Room into a Child Care
Center.
(3) Design of new Art facility.
Dr. Davis introduced Mr. Nespor who presented drawings show-
ing these changes. Mr. Nespor indicated that the design
schedule called for the opening of bids for this project in
March or April.
Mr. Ross moved approval of the plans as presented by Mr.
Nespor. Motion seconded by Mr. Mc Bride, carried without
dissent.
18. UNR Student Union Addition Surplus
In response to the Board's request at the August 28, 1981
meeting, at which the Board approved a proposal to fund
the UNR Marching Band from the surplus in the Student Union
Addition Account, President Crowley submitted the following
proposed uses for the remainder of the surplus:
(1) A minimum of approximately half of the existing balance
should be retained in the account, thus allowing in-
terest income to cover most of the annual costs of debt
service.
(2) The remainder of the existing balance may be expended
on projects of a primarily capital nature following
review by a committee which includes the above repre-
sentatives and approval by the President.
(3) After allowing for the costs of debt service and March-
ing Band operations, the annual income to the account
will be allocated equally to the following categories:
a. Projects directly beneficial to the Student Union.
b. Other projects of benefit to students.
If there are no needed projects under category a., the funds
set aside for that category may, upon recommendation by the
committee, be provided for projects under catagory b. Pro-
posed projects for both categories will be reviewed by the
committee for recommendation to the President. As is the
case with expenditures covered under (2) above, it is in-
tended that these projects be primarily capital projects.
However, in certain circumstances, program needs may be
considered.
Examples of projects that could be undertaken include ex-
pansion of the Student Union Snack Bar, expansion of the
Sagebrush offices in the Student Union, remodeling of the
Snack Bar kitchen, remodeling of the proposed Visitor's
Center - which involves use of an old Journalism building
to house the offices of Career Planning and Placement,
School Relations and Information - and parking improvements
around the Campus.
Mr. Mc Bride moved approval. Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong,
carried without dissent.
19. Changes in Leases of Lambertucci and Kapo Mining Claims
President Crowley recalled that in September, 1977 the Uni-
versity entered into a lease with Norman Ebbley and John
Schumacher for the Lambertucci Mining property in Tonopah
and in June, 1978 with Decker Exploration for the Kapo Mine
in Valmy. In both cases the royalty payments to the Uni-
versity were 5% of the net proceeds received from the sale
of materials produced on the properties. Due to the poor
grade ore presently produced by these mines, the Mackay
School of Mines wishes to modify the leases so that the
percentage received by the University would be reduced if
the ore mined is of low grade and would increase if the
grade of ore improves. This would give added incentive to
the persons presently leasing the properties to mine more
low grade ore. Dr. Crowley further explained that the
Lambertucci Mine lease would also be modified to clarify
the term "surface rights" and would grant the University
"exclusive rights" to occupy and the use of a 1500 foot
strip of frontage to the south side of the highway and all
of the ground north of the highway, totalling approximately
170 acres.
Regent Buchanan stated that he had heard rumors that the
University had violated the terms of the Lambertucci Will
in leasing part of the property to the City. General
Counsel Klasic was asked to review the leases to determine
if the University is in violation of the terms of the Will.
Ms. Del Papa moved approval of the requested changes. Mo-
tion seconded by Mr. Ross, carried without dissent.
20. Interim Finance Request, TMCC
President Eardley requested approval to ask the Interim
Finance Committee for authorization to expend an estimated
$90,000 in excess revenue, stating that these funds would
be used for payments to part-time faculty.
Mrs. Fong moved approval of the request. Motion seconded by
Ms. Del Papa, carried without dissent.
21. UNR Foundation Trustees
President Crowley recommended the appointment of the follow-
ing persons to the UNR Foundation as Trustees for 3-year
terms:
Barrie Brunet
John W. Gendron
Anne Witter Gillette
Richard J. Goeglein
Wayne "Bud" Hage
James W. Hardesty
William W. Morris
William E. B. Siart
Roger S. Trounday

Mr. Mc Bride moved approval. Motion seconded by Ms. Del
Papa, carried without dissent.
