       On motion by Mr. Cooper, seconded, and passed, the reading of the
Minutes for the January 19, 1971 meeting of the Board of Trustees was dis-
pensed with and the Minutes were approved as published.


       E. Executive Committee Member Election

       A vacancy existing on the Executive Committee due to the termination
of Mr. Hillenmeyer's tenure on the Board, Mr. Clay called for nominations
for a replacement to complete his term. Mr. Pence placed the name of Mr.
George Griffin in nomination. Mr. Goss seconded the nomination. Mr.

       F. Resolutions Commnittee Appointed

       Mr. Clay mentioned that Mr. Hillenmeyer had served on several com-
mittees of the Board and that Governor Nunn would name his replacements at a
later meeting. However, he felt it appropriate to name a committee to prepare
resolutions on the two Board members whose terms expired on December 31,
1970--Mr. Robert H. HIillenmeyer and Mr. B. Hudson Milner. He named Mrs.
Blazer, Mr. Cooper, and Professor Sears to this committee and requested that
the resolutions be prepared for reading at the March meeting of the Board.


       G. President's Report to the Trustees

       President Singletary reviewed briefly items in PR 1, President's Report
to the Trustees, which he felt would be of particular interest. He closed his
report with the announcement that the commencement exercises in May would
be held on May 8 at 4:00 p. m. rather than at 10:00 a. m. on May 10. Mr. Clay
accepted the report with thanks and ordered it filed.


       H. Announcements by Mr. Clay

       Mr. Clay extended congratulations on behalf of the Board of Trustees to
Mr. Lawrence E. Forgy, Vice President for Business Affairs and Treasurer,
and to Mr. Thomas P. Bell. Mr. Forgy has been named as one of the five
Outstanding Young Men in Kentucky in 1970, and Mr. Bell has been named
Outstanding Pro Official of the National Football League for the 1970 Season.
In addition, Mr. Clay noted that a fellow Board member, Mr. Wright, was a




 






3



patient at the University Hospital as was Coach Adolph Rupp. The Secretary
was asked to write both men expressing the Board's concern and wish them
speedy recoveries.


       I. Recommendations of the President (PR 2)

       President Singletary in presenting PR 2, Recommendations of the
President, indicated that these were routine matters although he thought it
worthy of attention that the three persons recommended for retirement had
contributed a total of 90 years of service to the institution.

       There being no questions, on motion by Mrs. Blazer, duly seconded,
and carried, PR 2, Recommendations of the President, was approved as a
whoLe and ordered made an official part of the Minutes of the meeting. (See
PR 2 at the end of the Minutes. )


       J. Somerset Community College Buildings Named (PR 3)

       President Singletary asked Dr. Stanley Wall, Vice President of the
Community College System, to distribute copies of PR 3 which had been
received too late for inclusion in the materials mailed to the Board members
prior to the meeting, and to make the presentation since it was concerned
with the naming of the Sonmerset Community College buildings.

       Dr. Wall said that the Advisory Board of the Somerset Community
College had recommended that the first building on the Somerset campus be
named the Leonard Ephraim-i Meece Hall, and that the new building just com-
pleted be named the George Michael Stoner Hall. He gave some biographical
information on the two men for whom the buildings would be named and
indicated that the University's Building and Campus Development Committee
had reviewed the recommendation and concurred in it as did the University
administration.

       Mr. Cooper moved that the recommendation in PR 3 relative to the
naming of the two buildings on the Somerset Community College campus be
approved. His motion was seconded by Professor Sears and all present voted
"aye". (See PR 3 at the end of the Minutes. )


       K. December Degree Candidates Approved (PR 4)

       On motion by Mr. Pence, seconded, and carried, the President was
authorized to confer upon each individual whose name appeared on the list
attached to PR 4 the degree to which he is entitled at the commencement exer-
cises on May 8, 1971. (See PR 4 at the end of the Minutes. )

       L. Designations for Henderson Community College Buildings (PR 5)

       President Singletary called attention to PR 5 recommending that the
three buildings on the Henderson Community College campus be designated the
Student Center Building, the Arts and Sciences Building, and the Administration
Building. On motion by Mrs. Blazer, seconded, and passed, the designations
recommended for the Henderson Community College buildings were approved.
(See PR 5 at the end of the Minutes. )


       M. Transfer of Kentucky Life Museum  (PR 6

       At the request of the President, Dr. Creech explained the proposed
transfer of the Kentucky Life Museum from the University of Kentucky to the
Commonwealth's Department of Parks. He gave some facts relative to the
development of the museum under the direction of Dr. Hambleton Tapp and
said that the collection of Kentuckiana artifacts was outstanding. The museum
appeals to a broad segment of the public but is largely unrelated to the Uni-
versity's teaching or research functions, thus it is a more appropriate function
of the Department of Parks than of the University. The Department of Parks
has indicated its willingness to accept the museum but it is necessary to have
approval of the Board of Trustees prior to further negotiations.

       On motion by Mrs. Blazer, seconded, and passed, the recommendations
in PR 6 were approved. (See PR 6 at the end of the Minutes.)


       N. 1970-71 Budget Revisions (PR 7)

       There being no questions, on motion by Mrs. Blazer, seconded by Mr.
Cooper, and passed without dissent, the budget revisions for 1970-71 recom-
mended in PR 7 were authorized and approved. (See PR 7 at the end of the
Minutes. )


       0. William R. Willard Department of Family Practice
Established (PR 8)

       President Singletary requested Dr. Bosomworth to present the recom-
mendation relative to the establishment and naming of the Department of Family
Practice in the College of Medicine. Dr. Bosomworth said that under legislation
passed by the 1970 General Assembly, the College of Medicine must have within
its curriculum a Department of General Practice of Medicine under the direction
of a qualified general practitioner. In establishing this new department, its
designation as the Department of Family Practice is being recommended because
"Family Practice" is the terminology approved by the Council of Medical Edu-
cation and the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association.




 





5



       Dr. Bosomworth continued that Dr. 'William R. Willard has been a
leader at the state and national level in the provision of primary care and it
is most fitting that the new department carry his name. Dr. Willard, who
was present at the meeting, was recognized by Mr. Clay and received a round
of applause from the Board members.

       On motion by Mr. Alverson, seconded by Mr. Goss, and passed, the
establishment of the William R. Willard Department of Family Practice was
authorized and approved. (See PR 8 at the end of the Minutes. )


       P. Amendment to Section IV of the Governing Regulations

       At the January 19, 1971 meeting of the Board of Trustees, a proposed
amendment to Section IV of the Governing Regulations was presented by
President Singletary with his recommendation that it be approved after the
required month between presentation and action had elapsed. Mr. Clay called
for a motion to bring the motion off the table. Mr. Steve Bright moved
adoption of the proposed amendment to Section IV of the Governing Regulations
as presented at the January 19, 1971 meeting of the Board of Trustees. His
motion was seconded by Mr. George Griffin.

       Mr. Thomas Bell then moved to amend Mr. Bright's motion, stating
that since the January 19 meeting he had given much thought to the matter, had
discussed it at length with members of the Board of Trustees, the adminis-
tration, and some faculty and students, and had come to the conclusion he could
not agree with the amendment in its present form. On the other hand, there
were a number of issues with which he was in complete agreement, such as the
concept of a wider participation of students in the Senate. The idea of an
elected student representative from each college in the Senate was attractive to
him inasmuch as this would make it possible for the student voice to be balanced
and diverse. In order to obtain responsible student representatives, he felt that
students elected to the Senate should be upperclassmen and should be in good
standing in their respective colleges.

       Mr. Bell's own thinking, plus his conviction that the amendment to
Section IV of the Governing Regulations as presently before the Board would not
pass, prompted him, therefore, to move that Mr. Bright's motion for adoption
of the proposed amendment to Section IV be amended. He then read the amend-
ment to the proposed amendment, a copy of which is included at the end of the
Minute s .

       His motion was seconded by Mr. Cooper. In the discussion that followed,
Mr. Bright indicated that it was as apparent to him as to Mr. Bell that the pro-
posed original amendment would not pass in its original form and it was with
some regret and disappointment that he acceded to the changes in the January 19
amendment as recommended by Mr. Bell. Dr. Sears, speaking for himself and




 




6



Dr. Rudd, indicated his support of Mr. Bell's amendment to the proposed
amendment of January 19. Dir, Singletary said when it became clear to him that
in its original form the motion would not pass, he too began to seek alternatives
that would preserve some of its better features. After talking with Steve Bright
and the Chairman of the Senate Council, as well as members of the adminis-
tration, it was his best judgment that Mr. Bell's amendment was as satisfactory
a resolution of the problem as was possible and he endorsed it. Mr, Clay stated
that the institution has already proven that it endorses the concept of student
participation through the presence already in the University Senate of five voting
student members. This is further endorsement of this concept and, though it
may not provide as many students in the Senate as had been hoped for, it presents
an opportunity for students to fulfill their responsibilities. Later the matter can
be reviewed to see what input the students have made into the academic programs
of this campus. lie then called for a vote on NMr. Bell's motion to amend Mr.
Bright's motion. All present voted "aye". Mr. Bright requested permission to
speak before his motion as amended was put to the vote. A copy of his statement
appears at the end of the Minutes.

       The vote on the original motion made by Mr. Bright and seconded by
Mr. Griffin as amended was called for. All present voted "aye". Mr. Bright
indicated that Student Government would set up the machinery to carry out the
elections of the student Senators.


       Q. Interim Financial Report (FCR 1)

       There being no questions. on inotion by Mdr. Griffin, seconded by
Mr. Pence, and passed, the interimn financial report for the six-months'
period ending Decemiber 31, 1970 was accepted and ordered made a matter of
record. (See FCR 1 at the end of the Mvinutes. )


       R. Employment of Auditors for 1970-71 (FCR 2)

       Mr. Forgy recommended that the firma of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and
Company be engaged to perform an independent audit of the financial statements
of the University of Kentucky and its affiliated corporations for the fiscal year
1970-71. Mr. Alverson moved approval of FCR 2. His motion was seconded by
Mr. Cooper, and passed. (See FCR 2 at the end of the Minutes.


       S. Exchange of Properties (FCR 3)

       Mr. Forgy explained that the University needed the property presently
owned by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association in order to expand its
educational facilities. An agreement has been worked out with the KHSAA to
exchange this property for approximately an acre of University land (adjacent to




 




7



ETV facility on Cooper Drive) and Mr. Forgy recommended approval of the
recommendation made in FCR 3.

       On motion by Mrs. Blazer, seconded by Mr. Griffin, and passed,
FCR 3 was approved. (See FCR 3 at the end of the Minutes.)


       T. Lexington Banks Designated as Depositories

       Mr. Griffin, acting as Chairman of the Finance Committee since Mr.
Hillenmeyer's retirement from the Board, said that the Finance Committee
had made a study of the banking requirements of the University and its affili-
ated corporations and proposed a rotation of bank accounts for a five-year
period in accordance with a schedule submitted as part of the recommendation,
a copy of which was made available to the T rustees and is included at the end of
the Minutes. Mr. Hillenmeyer and Mr. Griffin had personally discussed the
rotation schedule with the president of each bank involved and had received
their endorsements of the schedule.

       Mr. Griffin moved that the Board of Trustees authorize the banks
listed in the recommnendation to act as depositories for University of Kentucky
funds and affiliated corporation funds for the period April 1, 1971 through
June 30, 1976. His motion was seconded by Mr. Pence, and passed without
dissent. (See recommendation at the end of the Minutes.


       U. Student Code Revision Committee

       Mr. Griffin reported that the Student Code Revision Committee had
received some suggestions for revisions in the Student Code and had these
under consideration at the present timne. A final report will not be ready for
presentation before April or May.


       V. Hearing Committee Report

       Mr. Clay said that the Board had heard a presentation by Mr. Mike
Campbell, a student, at the January meeting in which he recommended that
any student who had acquired 300 signatures (or an agreed upon number) be
permitted to present his petition to the Board directly without a preliminary
hearing. Mr. Clay asked what disposition the Board wished to make of Mr.
Campbell's recommendation.

       Mr. Griffin responded that he had been informed that it would be a
relatively simple matter for a student to acquire 300 signatures on any issue
within a matter of an hour or two over the lunch period in the Student Center.
From a practical standpoint, the Board could easily find itself involved in




 




8



very long meetings at which numerous students would wish to discuss pro-
posals of interest to them. Under such an arrangement, the Board would be
distracted from the performance of its primary business and, at the same
time, Board meetings could end up merely providing a highly publicized
platform for students to gain visibility as they express their own personal
views. The Board through its student member has a legitimate and official
spokesman for students' concerns. Matters of great importance to the student
body should be brought to the attention of the Board by the student member.
Petitions should, therefore, be routine through the Student Government Presi-
dent who would refer them to the appropriate agency within the University or
to the Board.

       Mr. Griffin then moved that the proposal received at the January 19,
1971 meeting of the Board of Trustees be disapproved. His motion was seconded
by Mr. Bell, and passed unanimously.


       W. Meeting Adjourned

       There being no further business to come before the meeting, on motion
duly made, seconded, and carried, the meeting adjourned at 2:55 o'clock.

                                              Respectfully submitted,





                                              Lucile T. Blazer, Secretary
                                              Board of Trustees




(PRs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, Amendment to Proposed Amendment, Bright
Statement, and FCRs 1, 2, 3, and the recommendation of Lexington banks as
depositories which follow are official parts of the Minutes of the February 16,
1971 meeting. )

                 PRESIDENT'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

                          February 16, 1971


1.  DRUG ABUSE BEING FOUGHT ON SEVERAL FRONTS

     Several positive steps are under way to combat drug abuse
at the University, which neither condones the illegal use of
drugs nor denies drug abuse is cause for concern within the
University or within society as a whole. A University Com-
mittee on Drug Education has been formed to coordinate planning
and evaluation of its programs dealing with drug abuse. The
committee, to place emphasis on methods to make the University's
drug-related programs more widely known and utilized, will make
its first report by April 15. "I believe the University must
pledge its resources and cooperation in an effort to reduce and
control the drug problem as it exists in our community, in the
state, and in the nation," Dr. Singletary stated.

     In recent weeks various members of the UK community have
been reviewing the University's present effort in drug education.
Some of these activities include: a day-long drug abuse seminar,
held January 8 for the Student Affairs staff, featuring Dr. Dale
Farabee, state commissioner of mental health; Dr. Charles Walton,
College of Pharmacy; Dr. John A. O'Donnell, Department of Soci-
ology; James Amato, Lexington police judge, and Sgt. Frank Fry-
man, Lexington Police Department; continuing conferences between
administrators and Lexinqton officials; an agreement by the Medi-
cal Center to provide drug identification services to Fayette
Circuit Court when the State Toxicology Laboratory is unable to
run tests; a Student Center Board drug seminar, held in December,
with discussions led by representatives of the Student Health
Service, College of medicine, Lexington Police Department, and
the Clinical Research Center; a Rap Room program, sponsored by
the Human Relations Center, and counseling and treatment of stu-
dents who seek help from the Student Health Service.


2.  ACCREDITING TEAM ENDS VISIT

     Inspection of the University by an accrediting team from
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools was completed
on schedule Wednesday. Despite the snowfall, which hampered work
Monday and closed the University on Tuesday, the team of 31 edu-
cators met their deadline.  Dr. Singletary was given oral im-
pressions by the visitors. Next, he will receive a draft of the
report which eventually will determine whether UK will retain its
accreditation unconditionally or will be asked to make some re-
commended changes to continue as an accredited institution.

3.  WENDELL BERRY IS DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR

     A leading Kentucky author, Wendell Berry, has been named
the College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of
the Year, Dean Wimberly C. Royster announced. A professor of
English, Prof. Berry was elected to the post by his fellow fac-
ulty members in the college, and as recipient of the award is
released from his duties for one semester to write. He will
continue on full salary. Prof. Berry will deliver the College
of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor Lecture next fall.
He is the 27th winner of the coveted award, established in
1944 as a means of recognizing outstanding academic achievement
in the college. Dr. S. M. Shah, professor of mathematics, was
the holder of last year's award. A native of Henry county,
Berry attended Millersburg Military Institute, graduating in
1952. He received the bachelor of arts and master of arts de-
grees from the University. He has been the recipient of a
Haggin Grant from the University, a Stegner Fellowship in
writing from Stanford University, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and
a Rockefeller Foundation grant. Prof. Berry began his teaching
career as an instructor at Georgetown College in 1957. He was
E. H. Jones Lecturer in Creative Writing at Stanford University,
1959-60, and assistant professor of English at New York Univer-
sity, 1962-64, when he joined the University.

     Berry has written two novels, "Nathan Coulter," and "A
Place on Earth." Among his major works are four books of poet-
ry, "Openings," "Findings," "The Broken-Ground," and "Farming--
A Hand Book." Two books of essays, "The Long-Legged House,"
and "The Hidden Wound," also are by Prof. Berry. Another
book, "The Unforeseen Wilderness," written about the Red River
Gorge, with photographs by Gene Meatyard, will be published in
April by the University Press of Kentucky. Prof. Berry lives at
Port William in Henry county with his wife and two children,
Mary Dee and Pryor Clifford. Mrs. Berry is the former Tanya
Amyx, daughter of Art Professor and Mrs. Clifford Amyx.



4.   30 VIE FOR UNIVERSITY HONORS SCHOLARSHIPS

     the 30 semi-finalists for two $500 scholarships to the Uni-
versity Honors Program were on campus recently for final compe-
tition, according to Dr. John L. Greenway of the Honors Proaram.
Money for the one-year scholarships was made available by Presi-
dent Otis A. Singletary, to be awarded by the Honors Program.
The semi-finalists all are seniors in Kentucky high schools and
include many who ordinarily would not come to the University, Dr.
Greenway explained. He said the Honors Program committee plans
to award the scholarships to students who not only have out-
standing acacemic records, but also evidence creativity in their
specialized fields. "Mathematics can be as creative a discipline
as art or literature," Dr. Greenway said.  The Honors Program is
an instructional and advisory program providing a special aca-
demic track for students with superior abilities.

5.  RESEARCHERS STUDYING FLIGHT OF THE ALBATROSS

     Dr. Richard Birkebak, professor of mechanical engineering,
and two colleagues are continuing their research on the albatross
on Midway Island in the central Pacific Ocean which serves a dual
role as a sanctuary for tens of thousands of baby albatross and
as a U.S. Navy installation. Dr. Birkebak's team was on Midway
in February, 1970. He says that at one time during the hatching
season "we estimated there were more than 40,000 adult and young
birds there." His co-workers on the project are Jerry Hoskins,
a mechanical engineering undergraduate from Stanford, and Ariono
Abdulkadir, a graduate student from Indonesia. The three UK men,
along with Dr. Gene LeFebvre, Department of Zoology of Southern
Illinois University, currently are at Midway (until Feb. 20) to
continue the study being funded by the National Science Foundation.
During their visit to Midway last year, Dr. Birkebak and his
associates developed ways to test flight time integrators (FTI),
a device for monitoring the behavior of the birds away from the
nest. This year a transmitter is being used in tracking the
birds by radio to determine numerous behavior patterns about the
wanderer of the seas. According to the engineers' plan some facts
that will be collected are: how far the birds travel from Midway,
flight time in a particular direction, the total time in flight,
the total time spent resting on the water, and daylight flying
time. FTIs, along with the tiny transmitters, will be glued to
the breasts of 30 albatrosses. Neither device is larger than a
quarter.  The transmitter's signal can be received for 50 miles
and its lifetime is 35 days. The FTI weighs 30 grams, or about
one ounce, while the transmitters weigh six grams. During part
of the study, Dr. Birkebak and his associates will be aboard U.S.
Navy helicopters that operate on routine patrol in the vicinity
of Midway. The military unit, among other duties, operates as an
air-sea rescue group. Military and civilian population combined
is about 2,000 persons.



6.  DR. ALBRIGHT REVISITS BELGIUM

     Dr. A. D. Albright, vice president for institutional planning,
was invited by the Institut Administration-Universite of the Bel-
gian government to assist with two colloquia (seminars) in Belgium
on university management and administration. The colloquia began
January 29 and concluded February 6. Each lasted approximately
two days. The first seminar was composed of university rectors
(presidents), some deans, and members of university administrative
boards. The other was designed for ministers and selected staff
of the ministries of national education and culture and members of
Parliament committees on education. The seminars, the first or-
ganized on a national scale in Belgium, resulted from a study and
recommendations made by Dr. Albright while he was in Belgium on a
Fulbright Lectureship award in 1969-70. The topics discussed in-
cluded planning in an institution and nationally, program goals
and evaluation, academic and financial management, policy formu-
lation, systems and coordination among universities, and relation-
ships of universities to government. At the conclusion of the
sessions, future action was discussed for a continuing program to
assist in the further development of university management and
administration in that country.
