      D. Recommendations of the President (PR 2)

      In advance of each meeting copies of the President's Recommendations
(PR Z) are mailed to members of the Board. The items in the report are im-
portant but routine matters which require Board action. Dr. Oswald indicated
that he would be happy to answer any questions concerning the recommendations
in the report but wished to call special attention to only two--the appointment of
Professor Robert M. Drake, Jr. , as Chairman of the Department of Mechanical
Engineering for a four-year term beginning July 1, 1966; and the granting of
professional status to Librarians.

       Mr. Kerley requested that Item V, Lease with Kentucky Utilities Compa-
ny, be deleted before the recommendations were approved. On motion by Mr.
Hillenmeyer, seconded by Judge Sutherland, and carried, the recommendations
contained in PR 2, with the exception of Item V, Lease with Kentucky Utilities
Company, were approved and ordered made a part of the official Minutes of the
meeting. (See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes. )


       E. Supplementary Recommendations of the President (PR 3)

       Copies of PR 3 were made available and the Board members took a few
moments to familiarize themselves with the recommendations contained in the
report. D-. Oswald then called attention to the first item in the report which
recommended the establishment of a Department of Animal Science and to the ap-
pointment of Dr. W. P. Garrigus as Chairman of the department. The present
Departments of Dairy Science, Poultry Science, andAnimal Science would be com-
bined to form the new department.

       Dr. Angelucci questioned how the one department would be able to handle
satisfactorily the problems of individual industries, particularly the dairy
industry. Dr. Oswald said that there would be an increased extension effort and
within each area there would be specialists. The combination of the three de-
partments into one would strengthen the research program, particularly since
basic research programs are similar for all the different animal species. It is
planned that the new department will be housed in a new building which will be
planned and constructed for animal sciences research programs. Through the
organization of animal specie committees for dairy cattle, poultry, beef cattle,
sheep, swine, and horses, it is believed that commodity identification will not be
lost and that industry-university relations will be improved and strengthened.

       On motion by Judge Sutherland, seconded by Dr. Murray, and without dis-
sent, the recommendations contained in PR 3 were approved and it was ordered
made a part of the official. Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 3 at the end of the
Minutes. )
