pieces of property in the 200 block on South Limestone, still zoned
as Residence C, and these properties are now under consideration for
rezoning to Business A.  The communication listed reasons for
changing the zone from residence to business, and requested approval
of the Executive Committee for the change in zoning.

     Members of the Executive Committee discussed the request at
length, and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, declined to
approve the request and left to the discretion of President Donovan
the question of active opposition on behalf of the University to any
change in the present zoning regulation for property in the 200 block
of South Limestone Street.



     F. Rental Rates in Men's Residence Halls Revised.

     President Donovan submitted communication from A. Do Kirwan,
Dean of Students, regarding schedule of rental charges in the men's
residence halls as approved by the Board of Trustees in 1946 and
1947.  Dean Kirwan called attention to considerable improvement
and the addition of new furniture in the older halls.   The accommo-
dations in all halls are now entirely comparable, and he recommended
that adjustments in room rental in all halls be re-studied and the
rental rates made within the minimum and maximum rental charges here-
tofore authorized by the Board of Trustees.

     President Donovan recommended that the Dean of Students and the
University Comptroller be authorized to fix the room rental in all
the halls at a rate ranging from. $51,00 to $69.00 per semester.

     The Committee being thoroughly advised, upon motion duly made,
seconded and carried, on recommendation of the President, the Dean
of Students and the Comptroller of the University were authorized
to fix the room rental in all men's residence halls within the min-
imum and maximum recommended.



     G. Invoice, Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Study Approved.

     President Donovan recalled that the University, since 1947,
had participated in the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Study and
that he had placed before the Board from time to time invoices
representing the University's contribution to the work of the Insti-
tute.   He stated that he was of the opinion that it was profitable
to the University of Kentucky to continue participating in the work
and submitted an invoice of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear
Study for the contribution for the fiscal year 1951-52 in the amount
of $900.00.   He recommended that the Comptroller be authorized to
pay same from the Haggin Fund.

     The members of the Executive Committee being thoroughly ad-
vised, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, approved the
invoice for the fiscal year 1951-52, and authorized the Comptrol-
ler to make payment from the Haggin Fund.



     H. Southern Railway System Track Extension.

     President Donovan reported to the Committee that it was neces-
sary to extend the railway track serving the Central Heating Plant
to service the Maintenance and Operations building.   He reported
that, through the efforts of Mr. Guy A. Huguelet, the Southern Rail-
way System, through its Vice President, Mr. Hamlin Brown, had agreed
to take care of the 106-foot extension to track No. 82-39 without
cost to the University, provided the University would grant an ease-
ment of the right-of-way for the extension to the trustees of the
Southern Railway System, or to the C.N.O. & TOP. Company.

     It is understood that if this agreement is consummated, the
track will be owned and operated by the railway company but will
be maintained by the University of Kentucky.

     Members of the Committee discussed the extension, the granting
of the easement, and the assistance rendered by Mr. Huguelet, and
upon moticon duly made, seconded and carried, authorized the ease-
ment executed on behalf of the University, wshen in proper form.
Also, they extended sincere thanks to the Southern Railway System
for the generous extension of track without cost to the University,
and to Mr. Huguelet for his able assistance.



     I. Annuity for Miss Marie Nottnagel.

     President Donovan presented contract between the University
of Kentucky and Miss Marie Nottnagel, residing at 110 Woodland
Avenue in the City of Lexington, Fayette County,   He explained
that it was Miss Nottnagel's request that she be permitted to deed
to the University the lot and house where she now resides at 110
Woodland Avenue in the City of Lexington, Fayette County, Ky.,
without encumbrances, and to receive payment of $200.00 per month
during her natural life,   The University is to receive the rent
on apartments not used by Miss Nottnagel.

     The President also reported that the agreement included gift
from Miss Nottnagel to the University of the furniture belonging
to her, which is now in the rented apartments on the first and
second floors. At the death of Miss Nottnagel, the Nottnagel
Scholarship Fund shall be established, and the principal shall
consist of the residue of the estate after deducting such payments
as may be made by the University.




 





                                                                       5


     The contract was read to the Committee, and they being thor-
oughly advised, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, au-
thorized same executed on behalf of the University, attested to
by the Secretary, and directed that such payments as may be
necessary in accordance with the contract be made from the Haggin
Fund.



     J. Department of Air Science Created.

     President Donovan recommended the creation of a Department
of Air Science separate from the Department of Military Science.
He stated that the recommendation was made because, for all practical
purposes, the two branches of service are distinct and the vast ma-
jority of the land grant colleges have separate departments.

     The creation of the Department of Air Science has the endorse-
ment of M. M. White, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences;
Colonel Mackenzie, the current PI.S. & T.; Lt. Col. Edward G. Davis,
in charge of the ROTC Air Force unit at the University; and Major
General Hodges of the First Air Force, Mitchell Air Force Base,
New York.

     The recommendation of the President was discussed, and upon
motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation was con-
curred in, and the Department of Air Force was authorized created,
effective July 1, 1951.




     K. Candidates for Degrees.

     President Donovan stated that it was impossible to submit a
list of candidates for degrees at the annual summer commencement
exercises at this time, but told the members of the Committee that
the list would be submitted to the University Faculty and properly
recommended to the Committee for authorization.

     Members of the Committee discussed the problem.    President
Donovan stated that the University Faculty records would contain
names of the persons recommended to the Committee for degrees,
with recommendation that the degree to which each person is entitled
be approved by the Committee.

     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the following
list of candidates for degrees to be approved by the Faculty was
authorized inserted in these minutes, and President Donovan was
authorized to confer upon each at the Commencement exercises on
August 10, 1951, the degree to which each is entitled.

     L. Women's and Men's Residence Halls and Science Building
Authorized.                               - -

     President Donovan made the following statement:


           "The Board of Trustees of the University authorized
     that architects' plans and specifications be prepared about
     five years ago for a Women's Residence Hall, a Men's Dormi-
     tory and a Science Building.   Since that time we have kept
     before the people of the state this urgent need for these
     buildings at the University.   Recognizing the need, the
     state has not had available funds to meet the construction
     cost of these projects heretofore.

          "While attending a meeting of the Franklin County Alumni
     Association of the University of Kentucky Tuesday evening,
     Chairman Guy A. Huguelet of the Executive Committee, Senator
     Louis Cox, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Alumni
     Association, Senator R. P. Moloney, and I secured a conference
     with Governor Lawrence W. Wetherby on the question of erect-
     ing these buildings.   Governor Wetherby was deeply interest-
     ed in finding ways and means for the erection of these
     projects as soon as permission could be obtained from govern-
     ment agencies.

          "It was agreed that the University should immediately
     request the State Property and Building Commission for authority
     to proceed with this construction.    The Governor said he would
     support such a request.

          "These projects will be financed by a bond issue togeth-
     er with such funds from the Building Commission as are neces-
     sary to finance these buildings on a sound basis.    Legislative
     appropriations will be requested to offset fees used to retire
     bonds so as not to impair the current program of instruction,
     research, and extension of the University.

          "Requests for permission to construct these buildings
     will also be made immediately to the National Production Au-
     thority which has control over critical building materials.

          "All present at the conference last night expressed hope
     that construction of these projects can be begun as soon as
     federal authorities give clearance."


     The members of the Committee discussed at length the question
at issue, and upon motion duly made, sec-onded and carried, authorized
President Donovan to request immediately the State Property and
Building Commission for authority to proceed with the construction
of the Women's Residence Hall, Men's Dormitory, and Science Build-
ing,

     They also approved the issuance of revenue bonds as may be
necessary to finance these buildings, and the request to the
Legislature for appropriation necessary to offset fees which will
be used to retire bonds issued so as not to impair the current
program of instruction, research and extension of the University.
The administration was authorized to request permission of the
National Production Authority to construct these buildings and
to take the necessary steps to secure building materials and
permits necessary.



    M. Gifts.

                           From: Kentucky Distillers' Association,
                                 Louisville, Ky. -- $2,500.00.

     President Donovan reported to the Committee receipt of a check
for $2,500.00 from the Kentucky Distillers' Association of Louis-
ville, Ky., to be used to provide ten freshman scholarships at the
University.   He stated that he considered these scholarships a
very important part of the University's freshman scholarship pro-
gram, and he was very glad to have the opportunity of again as-
signing the awards.   He recommended that they be accepted, and
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the gift of $2,500.00
from the Kentucky Distillers' Association, Louisville, Ky., was
ordered accepted, and President Donovan was requested to thank
the donors.


                           From: Kentucky Brewers Association,
                                 Louisville, Ky. -- $900,00.

     President Donovan reported receipt of check for $900.00 made
payable to the Kentucky Research Foundation, to be used for three
