C. President's Report
Dr. Angelucci asked Dr. Oswald to give his monthly report on activities of
the University, copies of which were available for those present. Dr. Oswald
discussed each item briefly and concluded with a final statement on the summer
session enrollment, which was not a part of the written report. He indicated that
the latest figures showed an enrollment of 3, 962 students on the campus and 1, 301
students in the Community Colleges, making a total of 5, 263 students as of June
17, 1966. This is an increase of 423 over the summer session 1965.
Dr. Angelucci commented that one item was not included in the report which
2
should be -- that President Oswald was awarded an LL. D. degree by Centre
College at the commencement exercises of that institution on June 5, 1966.
The President's Report on Activities was accepted and ordered filed with
copies distributed to members of the faculty and selected members of the Alumni
Association.
D. Recommendations of the President (PR 2)
Dr. Oswald called attention to the following recommendations for depart-
mental chairmanships (Section VI of PR 2):
Dr. Lawrence Allen - Chairman of the Department of Library Science
Dr. Wayne Wonderley - Chairman of the Department of Germanic and
Classical Languages and Literatures
Dr. Thomas R. Ford - Chairman of the Departments of Sociology and
Rural Sociology
Dr. Stanley R. Saxe - Chairman of the Department of Periodontics and
Endodontics
Dr. Davis Henderson - Chairman of the Department of Prosthodontics
He also called attention to the appointment of two associate deans: Dr. Harry
Bohannon as Associate Dean of the College of Dentistry and Dr. Joseph Massie as
Associate Dean of the College of Business and Economics.
Mr. Kerley indicated that he would like to call attention not only to the 1Ei-
nancial Report for the period ending April 30, 1966, which was a part of PR 2, but
also to the Financial Report for the period ending May 31, 1966, which was in-
cluded in the folder of each member. He said that on page 8 in the latter report,
the figures showed that the realized income to May 31, 1966 was within $331, 291. 26
of the total estimated income of $60, 060, 585. 18. He then pointed out that the ex-
penditure authority showed that the University was operating close to the budget but
was basically "on target".
Dr. Angelucci suggested that since the report, with the exception of the Fi-
nancial Report for the period ending May 31, 1966, had been mailed to all members
in advance of the meeting, the report be accepted as a whole. On motion by Dr.
Denham, seconded by Mr. Hillenmeyer, and carried, PR 2, Recommendations of
the President, was approved as a whole and the Financial Report for the period
ending May 31, 1966 was accepted and ordered made a part of the report. (See PR2
at the end of the Minutes. )

E. Supplemental Recommendations of the President (PR 3)
Dr. Oswald said that Section II of PR 3, contained recommendations for
three additional departmental chairmen -- Dr. George W. Schwert, Dr. Richard
Schweet, and Dr. Loren Carlson. The appointment of these chairmen is made to
further implement the program approved by the Board at the May 3, 1966 meeting
when the new School of Biological Sciences was established. All three chairmen
will retain their chairmanships of the same departments in the College of
Medicine.
Attention was called to the recommendations for retirement for two long-
time staff members of the University -- Professor E. G. Trimble and Mrs.
Margaret Lewis, and for a member of the faculty of the Northern Community
College. Dr. Oswald asked the Board members to note that the calculation of Dr.
Trimble's retirement pay would be affected by action which might be taken by the
Board later in the meeting relative to an amendment to the Retirement Resolution.
After a study of the items contained in the Supplemental Recommendations
of the President, on motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the report was ac-
cepted as a whole and ordered made an official part of the Minutes of the June 17,
1966 meeting. (See PR 3 at the end of the Minutes. )
F. Overseas Project--Contract with AID for Agricultural Research Center
in Thailand (PR 4a)
Dr. Albright reminded members of the Board that at an earlier meeting the
Board had authorized a three-man feasibility study team to visit Thailand to de-
termine the University's interest in entering into a contract with AID. The recom-
mendation that the President be authorized to negotiate a contract with the U.S.
Agency for International Development for the purpose of establishing and develop-
ing an agricultural research center in northeast Thailand was presented for ap-
proval based on the findings of this team.
He summarized briefly the background statement contained in PR 4a and
indicated the proposed contract, which would probably amount to somewhere in the
neighborhood of $750, 000 per year, contained some elements unique to other AID
contracts. These elements were listed in PR 4a. In closing his statement, Dr.
Albright said that this part of Thailand might perhaps be more susceptible to un-
rest than some other parts of the Far East but the final assessment was that at
least for the time being no greater danger was involved in the University's partici-
pation in this area than would prevail in many other areas and that all possible
protection was being provided. He further said that some apprehension had been
voiced as to whether the United States government should be in this kind of service;
however, it is a national policy and the University feels an obligation to help when-
ever feasible and possible.
4
In answer to a question relative to the Indonesian contract, Dr. Albright
said that it would end June 30, 1966. He added, however, there is a possibility
that the University of Kentucky may be asked to return there within two or three
years.
To a further question relative to other institutions participating in contracts
in this part of the world, Dr. Albright replied that there was a Colombo Pact comi-
posed of institutions from Australia, Canada, and one other United Kingdom
country, as well as contracts with Indiana University and the University of Illinois.
On motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Dr. Murray, and carried, the
President was authorized to negotiate a contract with the U. S. Agency for Inter-
national Development for the purpose of establishing and developing an agricultur-
al research center in northeast Thailand. (See PR 4a at the end of the Minutes. )
G. Overseas Project--Contract with U. S. Peace Corps in India (PR 4b)
Dr. Albright presented PR 4b, stating that the proposed contract between
the University of Kentucky and the U. S. Peace Corps was a unique one--the only
one of its kind with the Peace Corps. The u-niqueness of the contract lies in the
fact that the University of Kentucky has retained the authority to make decisions of
educational relevance. The contract will probably be in the neighborhood of
$600, 000 per year. Dr. Albright then explained that the background statement in-
cluded in PR 4b presented the pertinent facts relative to the contract.
On motion by Mr. Hillenmeyer, seconded by Dr. Denharn, and carried, the
Board of Trustees approved a contract with the U. S. Peach Corps to train Volun-
teers for service in India. (See PR 4b at the end of the Minutes. )
H. Appointment of Members of the University to the Board of Lincoln
Academy (PR 5)
Dr. Oswald reminded the Board of legislation passed during the last session
of the General Assembly which authorized the conversion of Lincoln Institute into
an academy for gifted but underprivileged children. The legislation further author-
ized that the academy be governed by a seven-mrnember board, three of whom were
to be named by the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky, three by the
Board of Regents of Kentucky State College, and one by the State Board of Education.
On motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded, and carried, Dr. A. D. Albright
(1 year), Dr. Stephen Liachun (Z years) and Dr. William J. Tisdall (3 years) were
appointed as representatives of the University of Kentucky on the newly created
governing board for Lincoln Academy for the terms designated and Dr. Stephen
Diachun was named as chairman of the new board. (See PR 5 at the end of the
Minutes. 3

I. Amendment to Retirement Resolution (PR 6)
Mr. Kerley said that from time to time certain situations arose which had
not been foreseen when the Retirement Resolution was adopted which necessitated
some changes be made. Such was the case with the amendment recommended in
PR 6. Dr. Oswald reminded the Board that the case of Dr. Trimble mentioned as
a part of PR 3 was one that would be affected by the action taken on the recommend-
ed amendment.
On motion by Dr. Denham, seconded by Mr. Hillenmeyer, and passed with-
out dissent, the proposed amendment to the Retirement Resolution as stated in PR 6
was approved. (See PR 6 at the end of the Minutes. )
J. Resolution Relative to Land for Research Park (PR 7)
Dr. Oswald read the resolution relative to the reservation and dedication of
190 acres on the farm known as Spindletop Farm for the purposes of a research
park and recommended its adoption. The entire resolutiona is given in PR 7. He
explained that there has never been any official action to dedicate the land which
was zoned for a research park several years ago.
Mr. Jim Hampton of the Courier-Journal asked whether or not the Research
Park would be developed by Spindletop Research, Inc. Mr. Kerley replied that
Spindletop Research, Inc. would have a logistic function in helping the Department
of Commerce develop the park rather than doing it themselves. President Oswald
said that the Department of Commerce would attempt to interest firms and indi-
viduals in purchasing land and developing facilities on the 190 acres dedicated for
this purpose and the individual or firm concerned would develop its own project,
subject to the terms and specifications set forth in the resolution.
On motion by Dr. Murray, seconded, and approved the Resolution pertain-
ing to reservation and dedication of land on the farm known as Spindletop Farm was
approved. (See PR 7 at the end of the Minutes.)
K. Programming of the Stadium (PR 8)
Dr. Oswald said that in order to implement the academic and physical plans
already adopted by the Board of Trustees, it would be necessary to use the land
presently occupied by the stadium, particularly for expansion in the area of the
fine arts. It was, therefore, his recommendation that he be authorized to under-
take all actions necessary with Commonwealth officials to conduct physical and fi-
nancial planning for a new stadium with a capacity of approximately 50, 000 seats
to be located on approximately 150 acres of the southernmost portion of Cold-
stream Farm.
6
Representatives of the news media were asked to wait until after the
meeting adjourned for any questions they might have relative to the proposed
change at which time President Oswald, Mr. Kerley, and Dr. Creech would be
glad to answer such questions and would have a map available showing the pro-
posed location.
On motion by Dr. Denham, seconded by Mr. Broadbent and concurred
in by all present, the President, in order to make available land now occupied
by Stoll Field for further academic development, was authorized to undertake
all actions necessary with Commonwealth officials to conduct physical and fi-
nancial planning for a new stadium with a capacity of approximately 50, 000 seats
to be located on approximately 150 acres of the southernmost portion of Cold-
stream Farm. (See PR 8 at the end of the Minutes. )
L. Selection of External Auditor for 1965-66 (PR 9)
Mr. Kerley explained that the selection of an external auditor was a
rather routine matter but one which required Board action.
At this point Dr. Angelucci asked to be excused and Dr. Murray assumed
the chair. Dr. Murray ordered without objection that the firm of Haskins and
Sells, Certified Public Accountants be engaged in accordance with the recom-
mendation presented in PR 9. (See PR 9 at the end of the Minutes.)
M. Progress Report on Safety Program (PR 10)
Mr. Kerley said that the Progress Report on the Safety Program pre-
sented as PR 10 was prepared in keeping with a particular request from Mr. Sam
Ezelle and was presented in order to keep khe Board informed of the developments
in this area. I
Mr. Broadbent questioned whether the University carried any liability in-
surance. Mr. John Darsie, legal counsel, replied that with respect to guests and
visitors to the campus it did not since it was considered a state institution and
was liable for only a maximum of $10, 000 awarded through a claims board. Mr.
Kerley said that the Board of Trustees was protected from liability by a manage-
ment contract which included provision for coverage of damages up to $1, 000, 000
with Lloyds of London.
On behalf of the other members, Dr. Murray accepted the report and it was
ordered made apart of the Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 10 at the end of the
Minutes. )

N. Accreditation of the College of Dentistry (PR 11)
Dr. Willard said that the presentation in PR 11 adequately covered the
background for the accreditation of the College of Dentistry. He commended the
visitation team which had inspected the College of Dentistry, saying that they had
been most constructive and helpful in their evaluations and recommendations. He
added that he had had quite a bit of experience with such accreditations and felt
that the College of Dentistry at the University of Kentucky had received an unusual-
ly good report for a first accreditation.
The members of the Executive Committee expressed their gratification at
the initial accreditation of the College of Dentistry and the report as presented in
PR 11 was ordered made a part of the Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 11 at the
end of the Minutes. )
0. University Authorized to Manage Investment of Circle-K Club (Ashland
Community College)
Mr. Kerley said that the Circle-K Club was a student organization at the
Ashlaad Community College and that an internal account for the organization now
exists on the books of the University of Kentucky. In order to enable the Universi-
ty to manage the investments of the organization in the same manner it manages the
investments of all other organizations which exist as an integral part of the Uni-
versity, it would be necessary for the Board to authorize him to execute all the
necessary documents to sell, assign, or transfer certain shares of common stock
of the Ashland Oil and Refining Company. Inc. from the Circle-K Club to the Uni-
versity of Kentucky. Only six shares of stock are involved, amounting to less than
$300. The stock was a gift from Ashland Oil to the Club and the proposed action is
agreeable to both Ashland Oil and the Circle-K Club.
On motion duly made, seconded, andcarried, the Vice President-Business
Affairs and Treasurer, was authorized to execute all necessary documents to sell,
assign, or transfer certain shares of common stock of the Ashland Oil and Re-
fining Company, Inc. from the Circle-K Club, an informal entity, to the University
of Kentucky.
P. Meeting Adjourned
Dr. Murray, having first determined that there was no further business,
called for a motion for adjournment which was duly made, seconded, and carried
