on the Board of Trustees and expressing the Board's thanks for his contributions.
Following the reading of the resolution, Mr. Goss moved its adoption, and his

       E. President's Report to the Trustees

       President Singletary discussed briefly some of the items appearing in his
monthly report to the Trustees and recommended acceptance of the report. Mr.
Clay thanked the President, accepted the report and ordered it filed.


       F. Recommendations of the President (PR 2)

       President Singletary presented his recommendations relative to new ap-
pointments and/or staff changes and said he would be glad to answer any questions
which the members might have. There being no questions, on motion by Mr.
Cooper, seconded by Mr. Griffin, and passed, PR 2, Recommendations of the

       G. Vice President for University Relations Named (PR 3)

       President Singletary called attention to PR 3 which contained the recom-
mendations he wished to make which had not been included in the materials sent to
the members of the Executive Committee prior to the meeting. He said that since
Dr. Creech's resignation as Vice President for University Relations, he had been
seeking a replacement. Approximately 150 applications had been received and
screened and four personal interviews had been held. From all of these Dr.
Raymond R. Hornback had emerged as the top choice. His experience in a similar
position at Morehead State University and his awareness of the currents at play
within the state will permit him to assume the responsibilities of this position with
a minimum period of adjustment. It was, therefore, with much pleasure that he
wished to recommend the appointment of Dr. Hornback as Vice President for
University Relations, effective in mid-August. On motion by Mr. Goss, seconded
by Mr. Cooper, and with all present voting "aye", Dr. Raymond R. Hornback was
named Vice President for University Relations, effective in mid-August.

       Dr. Hornback, being present at the meeting, was introduced by President
Singletary and welcomed by Mr. Clay on behalf of the other members of the

him and a pledge of his best efforts in behalf of the University of Kentucky. (See
PR 3 at the end of the Minutes. )

       Explaining that the name of Mr. Hulan Carlysle Ashby had been omitted
from the list of candidates for degrees approved by the Board of Trustees at the
May 8 meeting, President Singletary recommended that he be approved retro-
actively. On motion by Mrs. Blazer, seconded by Mr. Cooper, and passed, the
President was authorized to confer upon Mr. Ashby the degree to which he was
entitled as of May 1973. (See PR 3 at the end of the Minutes. )


       I. Budget Revisions for 1972-73 and 1973-74 Approved (PR 4)

       Calling attention to the fact that the recommended budget revisions were
for both the 1972-73 budget and the 1973-74 budget, President Singletary recom-
mended approval of the revisions as set forth in PR 4. There being no questions,
on motion by Mr. Cooper, seconded by Mr. Griffin, and passed, the budget
revisions recommended in PR 4 were authorized and approved. (See PR 4 at the
end of the Minutes.)


       J. Resident Instructional Center for Architecture Established in Venice,
Italy (PR 5)

       At the request of President Singletary, Dr. Cochran explained that only
through the official establishment of a Resident Center can residence credit be
given for work taken off campus. The proposed Center will provide a valuable and
enriching program for Architecture students, and its establishment has already
received approval by the Undergraduate Council, the Senate Committee on Inter-
national Programs, the Senate Council and the University Senate.

       On motion by Mr. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Cooper, and passed without
dissent, approval was given to the establishment of a Resident Instructional Center
for Architecture in Venice, Italy. (See PR 5 at the end of the Minutes. )

motion was seconded by Mr. Cooper, and passed. (See FCR 1 at the end of the
Minutes. )

       L. Authorization for Relocation Housing (FCR 2)

       At Mr. Griffin's request, Mr. Forgy explained that prior to another meeting
of the Board, the University might be requested to make available a portion of the
University's land at Cumberland Community College which was deemed to be
surplus to the needs of the University, such land to be used for relocation housing.
He was, therefore, requesting the authority to execute the necessary documents
should it become necessary to make this land available.

       On motion by Mrs. Blazer, seconded by Mr. Goss, and passed, the recom-
mendation in FCR 2 was approved as presented. (See FCR 2 at the end of the
Minutes. )


       M. Advisory Services for Investment of Endowment Funds
Authorized (ICR 1)

       Mr. Forgy reported that the First Kentucky Trust Company for the past
two years had provided advisory services for the investment of endowment funds
of the University, and the Investment Committee wished to recommend a continu-
ation of these services for the 1973-74 fiscal year.

       On motion by Mr. Cooper, seconded by Mrs. Blazer, and passed, the
Vice President for Business Affairs and Treasurer was authorized to enter into
a contract with First Kentucky Trust Company of Louisville, Kentucky, for the
fiscal year 1973-74. (See ICR 1 at the end of the Minutes.)


       N. Meeting Adjourned

       There being no further business to come before the meeting, on motion duly
made, seconded, and passed, the meeting adjourned at 2:35 p. m.

"'Consideration of Biennial Budget Request




 









                                    RESOLUTION


The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky notes with regret the resignations
of

         Dr. Arnold Dewald Albright, Vice President for Institutional Planning
         Dr. Glenwvood Lewis Creech, Vice President for University Relations
         Dr. Stuart Forth, Director, University Libraries

and wishes to recognize the irmportant role that each man has played in the development
of the University.

Senior in years of service, Dr. Albright came to the University of Kentucky in 1954
from George Peabody College as Director of the Bureau of School Service in the College
of Education. Interestingly enough, this particular position has seemed to serve as a
stepping stone for the men who have occupied it. Men such as John Dale Russell, Floyd
Reeves, Henry Hill, Leo Chamberlain, Charles Spain, Maurice Seay, and Frank Dickey,
to mention only a few, started their careers in education as directors of the Bureau of
School Service and each went on to positions of ever increasing responsibility and leader-
ship. Dr. Albright was no exception for he too progressed rapidly from the director-
ship of the Bureau to Executive Dean of the University Extended Programs Division,
Provost, Executive Vice President, and, finally, Vice President for Institutional Plan-
ning, his present position. He has now been named to the highest educational position
in the Commonwealth--Executive Director of the Council on Public Higher Education--
a fitting climax to a distinguished career. With the ability which Dr. Albright has dis-
played and with his vast knowledge of the educational system of the state, the Council
could not have chosen a better qualified person for this position.

While the Board of Trustees feels a deep sense of loss that Dr. Albright is severing
his connection with this institution, it is delighted that a man of his calibre will be the
head of the state's educational system. The Board extends its sincere good wishes and
its promise of cooperation to the new Executive Director of the Council on Public Higher
Education and its thanks and appreciation to the man who has served the University of
Kentucky so faithfully and well for the past nineteen years.

Dr. Glenwood Lewis Creech was not a newcomer to the University when he accepted
the appointment as the first Vice President for University Relations in 1965 since he
attended the University as a student, served as a Research Specialist in the Department
of Vocational Education in the College of Education and as Associate Editor in the Public
Information Division of the College of Agriculture before accepting a position as Director
of the Division of Agriculture with the W. K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michi-
gan. At Kellogg, Dr. Creech was in the enviable position of making grants and he found
his new role at the University of Kentucky of seeking grants vastly different. However,
he proved himself equally adept in this area and the University's present Development
Program is a testimonial to his ability. Not only an extremely able and intelligent




 









individual, Dr. Creech's good looks and pleasing personality made him a much sought
after speaker and, as such, he was able to tell the University's story to many and
varied audiences throughout the state and the nation. Perhaps one of his greatest at-
tributes is his ability to work with state government personnel and members of the
General Assembly.

While regretting the loss of this very able administrator, the Board of Trustees is
aware that the opportunity to become the president of an institution of higher education
is one that he could not and should not pass up. It is, therefore, with sincere regret
that the Board expresses its thanks to Dr. Creech and wishes him Godspeed as he
leaves this institution to assume the presidency of Florida Atlantic University.

A relative latecomer in length of service when compared to Dr. Albright and Dr. Creech,
Dr. Stuart Forth has nonetheless had a major impact on the University of Kentucky dur -
ing his too brief tenure on our campus. As Director of Libraries, he has built a strong
and viable library system. for the University and the new library addition which is now
under construction will stand as a constant reminder of the man who worked so hard to
bring the dream to fruition and who put so much of himself into the design and planning
of the building. A man of many talents, Dr. Forth answered the call of duty and served
as Acting Vice President for Student Affairs for the two year period between the time
that Vice President Robert Johnson resigned and Vice President Robert Zumwinkle was
appointed. The Board of Trustees has already expressed its appreciation to him for
this service, but it cannot let the opportunity pass to again recognize the effective man-
ner in which he performed in this role.

Much as the Board regrets Dr. Forth's departure, it wants him to know that he goes
with its good wishes and deep appreciation for what he has meant to the institution.

In acknowledging its debt to these three able administrators, the Board of Trustees
would be remiss if it did not also recognize the contributions made by their wives - -
Grace Albright, Martha Creech, and Pearl Forth--all three of whom have been loyal
and devoted to the University and have added their own particular charms, talents, and
abilities to the furtherance of the University's goals and objectives. Though they might
be ministers without portfolio, they have all been ministers of good will and the Board
deeply regrets losing them along with their husbands.




 














RESOLUTION



       WHEREAS, Scott Wendelsdorf's term as a member of the Board of
Trustees of the University ended on May 12, 1973; and

       WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees wishes to recognize in an appro-
priate manner the contributions which he made as the fifth student member
to serve on the Board and the first student member to be accorded a vote;
and

       WHEREAS, he took his responsibilities as a Board member seriously,
doing his homework before each meeting so that he was completely cognizant
of what effect the agenda items might have on the student body, and was ready
to defend or argue against such items as the case might be in a logical and
articulate manner; and

      WHEREAS, his insistence on a full and open discussion helped to
clarify issues to the benefit of all concerned; and

      WHEREAS, his native intelligence and his political acumen were ever
sources of stimulation and challenge to his fellow members: Therefore, be it

      RESOLVED, that the Executive Committee, acting on behalf of the
Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky, recognize with thanks and
appreciation Mr. Wendelsdorf's role as a member of the Board and extend
to him its best wishes for success in his future pursuits.




 












PRESIDENT'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES



                           June 12, 1973



1.    COMMUNITY COLLEGES ACTIVE IN MANY UNUSUAL AREAS

      Activities in the community colleges include a recent variety
show sponsored by the Faculty Assembly of Prestonsburg Community
College designed to raise funds for scholarships. Proceeds from
the show enabled the awarding of three additional scholarships to
the college.

      A number of the colleges hosted College-Career Day programs.
Elizabethtown, for example, welcomed 2,635 students from a five-
county area to a two-day program. High school counselors from the
participating schools made up the planning committee.

      Veterans clubs at a number of the colleges have been organized
to assist in interesting veterans in returning to college, and to
recruit them for the different community colleges.

      A program to promote the college as a meeting place for civic
clubs and other groups has been initiated by the staff at Henderson
Community College. James Long, coordinator for Guidance Services at
the college, has organized the effort. The college furnishes speakers
for the programs through its speaker's bureau and campus tours are
conducted by members of Phi Theta Kappa, honorary fraternity.



2.    HOME EC STUDENTS TOUR EUROPEAN TEXTILE CENTERS

      A "European Fashion Merchandising Study Tour," by members of a
class of Home Economics Department of Textiles, Clothing and Merchan-
dising, has just been completed in the leading fashion and textile
outlets in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and London, England.

      The comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the industry is an
annual event. Mrs. Charlotte Bennett, assistant professor of textiles,
clothing and merchandising, and 20 students left Lexington May 17 and
returned last week.

      Prior to their departure, there were two days of orientation.
The students receive three hours of credit for the class and were
required to have a definite study topic in mind before arriving in
Europe.

      Mrs. Bennett's first European study tour was in 1969. She has
since alternated each year between New York (1970 and 1972) and Europe
(1969, 1971, and 1973). "We find that our students gain a broader
perspective of both careers in fashion and people following our rela-
tively brief trip," she said.

6.   PROF SEEKS ALTERNATIVE PEST CONTROL METHODS

      Dr. J. G. Rodriguez, professor of entomology who specializes
in research on insect nutrition, is more interested in (controlling
insects through poor nutrition than in properly feeding them.

      Dr. Rodriguez is editor of a new book, "Insect and Mite Nutri-
tion: Significance and Implications in Ecology and Pest Management,"
which came from an international conference which Dr. Rodriguez
chaired in 1972 at Carnahan House, which brought together nearly 90
specialists from England, Poland, India, Japan, Switzerland, two from
Israel, and several from Holland. Dr. Rodriguez edited papers later
submitted by conference participants. The book contains more than
700 pages.

      He contends it is possible to work through plant nutrition and
create an imbalance of nutrients for the insect pest. This very much
influences the insect population buildup. "The whole point is to
find alternative methods to pest control. Since the much-publicized
Rachel Carson book, the use of insecticides has come under criticism.
The book was good criticism because it opened up the need to curtail
the use of pesticides and to be more selective of those that are re-
quired," he says.



7.   RESEARCH AWARDS GIVEN BY UKRF

      Four faculty members each received $500 awards to recognize and
encourage distinguished achievement in research and creative arts
during the past two years during the annual banquet of the Research
Foundation in early May.

      They were Dr. Thomas A. Chapman, assistant professor of mathe-
matics; John R. Tuska, assistant professor of art; Dr. Richard Lowitt,
professor of history, and Dr. H. Wyman Dorough, professor of ento-
mology.

      Dr. Chapman was recognized for his research in typology. He
recently received the prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, a re-
search award for exceptionally gifted young researchers.

      Tuska was honored for his sculpturing and ceramics shows, in-
cluding a one-man show at Pennsylvania State University where four
of his pieces were bought for the University's permanent collection.

      Dr. Lowitt received the award for his book, "George W. Norris:
The Persistence of a Progressive, 1913-1933." It is the second book
in the series about Norris, and Dr. Lowitt already is working on a
sequel. Dr. Lowitt held the UK Hallam Chair of History from 1971 to
1973, and is a former Guggenheim Fellow.

      Dr. Dorough was honored for his research into the chemistry and
toxicology of insecticides by studying their effect upon the environ-
ment, plant and animal organisms. During the past year, Dr. Dorough
has been in charge of a program which monitors tobacco for pesticide
residues.
