authorized at the December 8, 1970 meeting.


       F. President's Report to the Trustees

       President Singletary called attention to certain items of interest to
the Trustees in PR 1, President's Report to the Trustees, and recommended
more careful reading of the report following the meeting. He said he felt the
report showed that the University of Kentucky although having its fair share
of problems, was a viable institution, dedicated to the tradition of solid
achievement, Mr. Clay accepted the report with thanks and it was ordered
filed,


      G. EmerCency Medical Team Planned

      President Singletary said that the recent coal mine tragedy at Hyden
had clearly dramatized the need for planning for patient care in time of
disaster anywhere in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The University of
Kentucky to meet this need plans to mobilize an Emergency Medical Team
to be available with the consent of the Governor and at the request of health
care authorities at the scene of the disaster, The makeup of the team will
be variable depending upon the situation and would include physicians with
specialized training appropriate to the disaster, nurses, pharmacists, and
certain technical personnel.


      H, Recommendations of the President (PR 2)



      On page 4 of PR 2, President Singletary requested that the words
'and Director of Animal Care Services" be stricken from the recommended

ment would then read "William S, Gochenour, Jr, , Associate Professor,
Department of Community Medicine, College of Medicine, retroactive to
November 1, 1970". With this correction, President Singletary recommended
approval of PR 2 as a whole.

       On motion by Dr, Nicholas, seconded, and passed, PR Z was approved
with the correction noted above and ordered made an official part of the
Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes. )

       K. Propsed Amendment to the Governing Rejulations
Presented (PR 5)

       President Singletary explained that at its meeting on December 14,
1970 the University Senate had approved (by roll call vote, 100 to 59) the
Report of the Senate ad hoc Tripartite Committee to Investigate the Role of
Students, Faculty and Administrators in the University Senate, The major
recommendations of this report involve changes in the elected rmembership
and composition of the University Senate and the University Senate Council
which would significantly increase student participation in these bodies,
Implementation of this change in the membership of the University Senate
will require an amendment of Section IV of the Governing Regulations which
can only be done by the Board of Trustees,

       President Singletary continued that a proposed amendment which would
provide for this change was attached to PR 5 and was presented for study and
consideration at this timhe and not for action inasmuch as any amendment to
the Governing Regulations requires that a month elapse between the time of
presentation and adoption.

                       January 19, 1971



1.  ACCREDITATION TEAM TO BE HERE NEXT MONTH

     A team of educators representing the Southern Associa-
tion of Colleges and Schools will visit the University
February 7-10 to determine whether any changes are necessary
for the institution to continue its accreditation. The visit
is a routine procedure required for all accredited colleges
every ten years. It will end on-campus activities of a self-
study program which already has been in progress for nearly
two years. Under the self-study program of the Commission
on Colleges, every department of the University examined its
programs and prepared reports, both for individual depart-
ments and for schools and colleges within the University.
Dr. Morris Cierley is chairman of the self-study steering
committee. A dozen University-wide committees have prepared
reports on these topics: Purpose of the University, organi-
zation and administration, educational programs, financial
resources, faculty, libraries, personnel, physical plant,
special activities, research, health affairs, and graduate
programs.



2.  ENROLLMENT UP NEARLY 1500 OVER YEAR AGO

     Enrollment for the 1971 Spring semester totaled 16,464
on January 13--prior to the completion of late registration.

     Dr. Elbert W. Ockerman, dean of admissions and registrar,
estimated at least 600 students would sign up during late
registration, bringing the total to 17,064--up some 1,486
students over last Spring's enrollment.

     Included are 990 new students enrolling for the Spring--
up 95 over last spring's figure of 895 students. Graduate
School enrollment also is up some 175 students, with 2,153
enrolling in 1970 (Spring) and 2,329 enrolling in 1971.

     A breakdown of the early totals by colleges shows Agri-
culture with 641; Arts and Sciences, 4,881; Business and Eco-
nomics, 1,664; Education, 2,691; Engineering, 1,091; Graduate
School, 2,329; Law, 419; Pharmacy, 179; Architecture, 375;
Lexington Technical Institute, 310; School of Social Profes-
sions, 239; Allied Health, 319; Home Economics, 380; Nursing,
403, Dentistry, 206, and Medicine, 337.




 










3.  UNIVERSITY NAMES 20 TO PHI BETA KAPPA

     Nineteen University students were initiated into the local
chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic honorary for stu-
dents in the liberal arts, on Thursday, December 10. A 20th
initiate, Edward Durham Blakeman, Middlesboro, was initiated
earlier because he was to enter the U.S. Navy. His major was
physics. The initiates included six Lexington residents:
Marian Callaway Bean--English; Mrs. Janet Fulmer Faris--English;
Mrs. Carol Lee Joyner--psychology; Mrs. leva Starks Berzins--
sociology; Laura Dinsmore Keller--English, and Mrs. Paige Henley
Reich--telecommunications. Other Kentuckians were: Mrs. Carolyn
McKee Hackworth, Shelbyville--English; Stephen David Humble,
Winchester--psychology; Leatha Carolyn Freas, Franklin--English;
Dahlia Jane Hays, Jackson--journalism; Nancy Ann Barrickman,
Glasgow--sociology; Jacqueline Kay Carter, Elizabethtown--
English; Harriet Lea Halcomb, Scottsville--Spanish; James Austin
Carr, Russell--sociology, and Temothy Feldhaus, Covington--
history. Out-of-state initiates Dennis Vincent O'Leary, Frank-
lin Park, N.J.--sociology; Carol Ann Jenkins, Mt. Vernon, Ohio--
social work; Neta Loreene Knoph, Concord Tenn.--mathematics,
and John T. Doxey, W. Longbranch, N.J.--history.



4.  UPGRADING OF ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY SOUGHT BY LTI

     An upgrading in the type of engineering techology courses
currently being offered at the Lexington Technical Institute is
being sought by M. L. Archer, director. "We are receiving help
from the American Society of Engineering Education through its
visiting professor program," Archer said, indicating that recent
developments in engineering technology and demand had prompted the
move. Archer said the LTI engineering curriculum had received
extensive study by Ray F. Debruhl, a professional engineer and
civil engineering extension specialist at North Carolina State
University. LTI is movning toward accreditation of its curricu-
lum by the American Council for Professional Development, Archer
added. Members of a committee that discussed the curriculum
during Debruhl's visit included representatives from Prestonsburg,
Somerset and Southeast community colleges, Associate Dean of Engi-
neering Warren W. Walton, Archer, the advisory committee from the
College of Engineering and the advisory committee for LTI. Dis-
cussion topics included a four-year engineering technology program
that would lead to the BS degree. The first two years of training
would be taken at a community college and the last two at a four-
year institution, Archer said. There now are 72 U.S. institutions
that offer a BS degree in engineering technology--12 have ac-
creditation.



5,  MINE RESCUE VEHICLE DEMONSTRATED

     The Department of Electrical Engineering in December demon-
strated a prototype vehicle being tested for possible development
as an underground mine rescue vehicle. The jeep-type vehicle was
exhibited to news media people and observers from Washington on
Thursday, December 10, at the University farm behind the ETV
building.

6.  COEDS WORK AS RETAILERS FOR COLLEGE CREDIT

     To earn five credit hours in a course entitled "Retail
Job Analysis," 11 University coeds in the College of Home
Economics are hired by retail establishments in a supervised
program designed to provide experience in every phase of
merchandising--from the time the article is purchased by the
store until it is sold. Last semester, the girls worked in
Lexington and Cincinnati stores. Mrs. Betty Eastin, assistant
professor of home economics, requires her students working out-
side the Lexington area to file a written report "at least once
a week." The eight weeks spent in the store are summarized in
a notebook depicting the store's business procedures, from the
type of labels used in their merchandise to the safety pamphlets
supplied employees. "The stores participating in the training
program have been most cooperative," Mrs. Eastin said. Last
summer, several girls enrolled in the course worked in New York
City. Former students of Mrs. Eastin have worked in Houston,
Texas, Evansville, Ind.,  Washington, D.C., and Elyria, Ohio.
Each girl is paid minimum wages and works under the supervision
of the store's department manager.

     Mrs. Eastin consults with the supervisor at least twice
during the eight week program, once at the beginning, to plan
the girls' program, and again at the end of their training.
Much of the student's learning experience depends on the amount
of time the store has to spend with individual supervision.
"One girl may participate in all facets of merchandising--from
buying to selling, while another has more limited experience,"
Mrs. Eastin continued.



7.  THREE GRANTS BOOST NURSING CONTINUING EDUCATION

     The College of Nursing is the recipient of three grants
for the continuing education of registered nurses. The Divi-
sion of Nursing for the Bureau of Health Manpower Education of
the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, has given
$7,816 to support a short-term course entitled "Nursing Ap-
proaches to People with Long-Term Illness." The first session
of the course will begin February 22. Faculty members of the
Colleges of Nursing, Medicine and Allied Health Professions
will present the course. The Ohio Valley Regional Medical Pro-
gram awarded the other two grants. One, totalling $1,500, will
support the research project, "A Study of Registered Nurses Who
Viewed the PANMED Television Series in Nursing." Principal in-
vestigators of the project are Dr. Juanita Fleming, assistant
professor of nursing, and Irma M. Bolte, MSN, director of Con-
tinuing Education in the College of Nursing. The second grant,
of $5,000, will support a shortterm course, "Development of a
Nursing Care Plan," which will begin January 25. Miss Virginia
Nelson, associate professor, School of Public Health, University
of North Carolina, will conduct the course with assistance from
the UK College of Nursing faculty and Ohio Valley Regional Medi-
cal Program personnel.

8.  FOREIGN TRADE SUBJECT OF LABOR CONFERENCE

     The influence of foreign-made products imported into the
U.S. on the sale of American-made products is the major concern
of a two-day conference beginning Thursday and sponsored by the
University Labor Education Center. William A. Tolman, conference
chairman and associate director of the Office of Development Ser-
vice and Business Research, pointed ot that representatives from
General Motors and Caterpillar Americas Company--the two largest
exporters in the U.S.--are expected to attend. Entitled "The
Impact of Foreign Trade on Income and Employment," the conference
will attract participants from labor unions, business and in-
dustry, and higher education. The keynote address will be given
by Nathaniel Goldfinger, director, Department of Research, AFL-
CIO, Washington, D. C. Mr. Goldfinger will be introduced by
Sam Ezelle, executive secretary of the Kentucky State AFL-CIO.
The impact of foreign trade on apparel and textiles will be dis-
cussed by George Perkel, research director, Textile Workers
Union of America, and Stanley H. Ruttenberg, consultant, Amal-
gamated Clothing Workers of America. Afternoon speakers include
Nelson A. Stitt, attorney, Japan-U.S. Trade Council, and John B.
Wilson, president, Caterpillar Americas Co. Speaker for the
dinner meeting to be held in the Student Center is George H.
Hildebrand, deputy undersecretary for international affairs,
U. S. Department of Labor. On Friday, representatives from
three international unions will discuss the result of foreign
trade on income and employment. The interests of American agri-
culture in trade controls will be the topic of Lawrence Witt,
senior agricultural economist, Agency for International Develop-
ment. Mr. Tolman said the importance of such a conference could
be seen in observing the number of items currently on the market
which are imported from other countries. "A number of factories
have closed because of the competition with foreign trade," he
continued, "which increases unemployment, inflates prices, and
therefore, affects the entire populace."



9.  RANKIN COMMENTS ON PRIVATE FIRMS IN EDUCATION

     A University specialist believes the current trend toward
school systems' contracting with commercial firms to teach read-
ing to the pupils in the long run may be good for education in
general. Dr. tarl P. Rankin, professor of education, says it
may serve to stimulate innovations in the field of education.
"One of the positive features of such contracts is teacher ac-
countability, where a close look is given to the results in
student achievement attained by each teacher," Dr. Rankin added.
"Teachers may receive a monetary reward on the basis of these
results. This is desirable, because just as children react to
reinforcement, teachers also need reinforcements to modify or
improve their behavior as teachers," he pointed out. "Motivation
is very important for teachers--it is a basic facet of human
nature. However, we tend to overlook this." Dr. Rankin sees
evaluation as the major problem associated with these contracts
and thinks that a third party should be used in evaluating stu-
dent achievement.

next year's convention. Regional advisor is Prof. Richard M.
Doughty. The regional president, vice president, and treasurer
will be Bruce O'Reilly, Hackettstown, N.J., Ginger Goff, Windy,
Ky., and W. Vance Smith, Middlesboro. Bob Talbert, Carlisle,
represented Region IV pharmacy schools at Purdue in a panel dis-
cussion with medicine, dentistry, and nursing students. Mike
Montgomery, Frankfort, was selected to represent Region IV on the
SAPhA National Committee on Curriculum, and Bruce O'Reilly served
as chairman of the Resolutions Committee.



11. ASHLAND CC HOSTS CAREER DAY

     Some 1,600 students from northeast Kentucky participated in
a college-career day hosted by Ashland Community College, January
7-8, sponsored by senior high school counselors from Boyd, Carter
and Greenup counties. Most Kentucky colleges were represented,
plus several out-of-state institutions. Among the firms repre-
sented were Armco, the Armed Forces, Ashland Oil, Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad, General Telephone, Kentucky Power, Ashland Area
Vocational School, King's Daughters School of Nursing, and United
Electronics. Ashland Community College students served as guides,
directing students to the various sessions. Ashland Community
College personnel active in the organization of the college-career
day sessions included Carl Lively, assistant director at the col-
lege, and Kathryn Reed and Vincent Kidd, counselors.



12. LAB IS BECOMING LEADER IN METALS TESTING

     The Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials
Science (College of Engineering) recently installed a new-type
metal testing machine as another step in a program designed to
develop one of the world's leading testing laboratories. De-
signed and built to specifications from the University, the
machine was produced by a firm in Cleveland and is the only one
of its kind in existence. It is capable of exerting a force of
25 tons. Samples of metal can be pulled and twisted or pushed
and twisted simultaneously under precise control and at very
high speeds. Officially known as a tension/torsion/compression
test system, it will be used to establish the mechanical be-
havior of metals as related to their behavior during metal-
working. The U.S. Department of Defense is sponsoring the pro,
ject under a research program known as THEMIS.

13. PHARMACY CONFERENCES SPOTLIGHT UNIT DOSAGE USE

     The College of Pharmacy held the first of two planned con-
ferences in December on unit dose systems. Supported by a
Public Health Service grant awarded to Profs. Paul F. Parker
and Clifford E. Hynniman, the conferences are part of a project
leading to the development of a document concerning guidelines
for practical hospital unit dose systems. Invited participants
included representatives from the American Society of Hospital
Pharmacists, and a number of outside consultants. The purpose
of the conference was to gather ideas and objective viewpoints
regarding the kind of guidelines which should be provided, and
the relative emphasis to be placed on certain portions of the
document.



14.  ACE SURVEY CITES STRENGTHS IN EIGHT GRADUATE AREAS

     Eight academic disciplines in the Graduate School have been
cited by an American Council on Education survey and given "ade-
quate plus" ratings, a gain of six with such a designation over
the number cited in a similar survey in 1964. At that time, the
departments of history and microbiology were listed.  The recent
study lists those two disciplines, and added the programs in
French, political science, biochemistry, physiology, mathematics,
and molecular biology, although the latter is not organized into
a separate department. It has been noted that the cutoff date
for the survey was the 1]968 academic year and that several Uni-
versity departments have since been strengthened,

17. STUDENT MARKETING CLUB CONDUCTS AUTO MARKET STUDY

     The Student Marketing Club in the College of Business and
Economics is participating in a contest by studying the reaction
of competing subcompact auto dealers in the Bluegrass area to
the introduction of the Pinto. The club, which has been in-
active for two years, was reactivated to enable students in
marketing "to get valuable information that they would not
normally encounter in the classroom," according to Dr. M. J.
Etzel. Dr. Etzel and Bruce J. Walker are the club's advisors.
Both are assistant professors of business administration.



18. SHARES IN STALLIONS, CATTLE, EQUIPMENT, AMONG NEW GIFTS

     A number of Charolais cattle and shares in three thorough-
bred stallions, including Nashua, have been given to the tJniver-
sity by horseman Peter A. B. Widener of Versailles. The 11 head
of cattle, including a herd bull, four aged cows and some younger
stock, came with a share each in two other syndicate stallions,
King of the Tudors and Middle Brother, and a four-year-old mare,
Wrong Notion, a daughter of Nashua out of Qena.

     The Lexington Lions Club has contributed $4,900 to the
College of Medicine's opthalmology department for use in the
purchase of glaucoma testing equipment. The funds, part of the
proceeds from the Lions Blue Grass Fair, were presented to Dr.
Jonathon Wirtschafter, department head, at a recent luncheon.
Joe Hawkins, Lions' president, said the equipment will be used
by all the opthalmologists in Lexington.



19. 7ATTER YEARS EXPECTED FOR FARMERS, AG FACULTY TOLD

     "'atter years" are ahead for the nation's farmers during
the 1970s, Henry L. Ahlgren, deputy undersecretary of agricul-
ture, told 600 members of the College of Agriculture faculty at
their annual conference. Among the changes he listed a merging
at the national level of collective bargaining in the production
and sale of farm products, and more contract farming, where the
produce is guaranteed to a buyer at time of planting. He pre-
dicted, as a result of these practices, a de-emphasis on govern-
ment price-support programs and acreage controls. What happens
in the next 15 to 20 years in rural America will determine the
course of the entire U.S., he said, and urged that the country-
side be made to support opportunities so that the people will
stay. Dean Charles E. Barnhart told extension workers, agricul-
tural researchers and teachers that the college's goal is to
benefit all taxpayers in the state. "The low-income farmer in
East Kentucky is not less important than the farmer with 10,000
acres of corn in West Kentucky," he said.
