     A RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
        OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
        KENTUCKY AT A MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 22, 1957.



          WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky, at
a meeting held on December 11, 1956, adopted a Resolution providing for the
issuance of $150, 000. 00 principal amount of "University of Kentucky Dormitory
Revenue Bonds (338 Clifton Avenue)", to be dated as of December 1, 1956 for
the purpose of providing funds for the construction on land constituting a part
of the campus of the University a small student dormitory suitable for occupa-
tion by a fraternity or other campus organization, or by students generally,
upon a rental basis calculated to provide to the University funds sufficient to
pay the said bonds and the interest thereon as the bonds and coupons mature
from time to time, as more specifically set forth in said Resolution;  and

          WHEREAS, the State Property and Buildings Commission of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, at a meeting held on November 8, 1956, took
proper action approving the University' s proposal to construct said building
and to issue $150, 000. 00 of its Revenue Bonds to provide for the financing
thereof; and

          WHEREAS, an appropriate notice, regarding the sale of said
bonds, was duly published in the Courier-Journal, Louisville, Kentucky, on
January 11, 1957, soliciting sealed proposals for the purchasing of said bonds,
the same to be received in the Office of the Vice-President (Business Admin-
istration) of the University until January 22, 1957, at 10:30 A.M., C.S.T.,
and referred to this meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of
Trustees for consideration and action; and

          WHEREAS, at the time of the publication of said notice, bids for
the constriEUion o the dormitory building had not been received and consid-
ered, and it was not possible to determine how many of the bonds it would be
necessary to sell in order to provide for the payment of all costs, with the
result that the public notice was so worded as to require bidders to offer to
purchase said bonds on the basis of a specified price per $1, 000. 00 bond,
with an agreement on the part of the bidders to accept at such price as many
of the bonds as this Executive Committee might decide to sell (not less than
$145, 000. 00 nor more than $150, 000. 00); and the Vice-President (Business
Administration) has now reported that construction bids have been received
and compared, and it is apparent that the entire $150, 000.00 of said bonds
should be sold; and

         WHEREAS, the Vice-President (Business Administration) has exhibit-
ed to the Board ofTrustees an affidavit from an employee of said newspaper,
showing such publication of the "Notice of Sale of Bonds," and has also produced
before the Board the sealed proposals received in his office prior to 10:30 A. M.,
C. S. T. , on January 22, 1957, and the same having been publicly opened, read,
and compared, and are listed, as follows:

of major medical expense insurance. He requested a change in University pol-
icy concerning premium payments whereby the University would participate in
