Mrs. Rexford Blazer, Mr. Wendell Butler, Dr. Harry Denham, Dr. R. W. Bushart,
and Mr. Robert Hillenmeyer. President Oswald, Vice Presidents Albright and
Creech, and Provost Cochran represented the administration and members of the
news media were present.


     A. Meeting Opened and Secretary of the Board Elected

     Mr. Smith Broadbent pronounced the invocation. The Chairman called for
nominations for a secretary of the Board of Trustees to replace Dr. H. B. Murray,
explaining that this was the first statutory session of the Board since Dr. Murray's
death in late May 1967.

     Mr. Broadbent placed the name of Mr. Sam Ezelle in nomination and Dr.
Sparks moved that the nominations be closed and Mr. Ezelle be elected by
acclamation. The motion was seconded and Mr. Ezelle was elected Secretary of
the Board of Trustees by acclamation.

     The Governor asked for the roll call and Mr. Ezelle reported ten voting
members present, two non-voting members present, and five members absent.
This constituting a quorum, the Governor declared the meeting officially open at
2:07 o'clock.


     B. Minutes Approved

     On motion by Dr. Angelucci, seconded by Mr. Cooper, and passed the reading
of the Minutes for the July 21, 1967 meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees was dispensed with and the Minutes were approved as published.


     C. Member of the Executive Committee Elected

     The death of Dr. H. B. Murray not only left the secretaryship of the Board
vacant but created a vacancy on the Executive Committee. The Chairman called for




 










nominations and Mr. Ezelle moved that Mr. Richard E. Cooper be elected a
member of the Executive Committee by acclamation. The motion was seconded
and passed unanimously.


     D. President's Report to the Trustees

     After briefly discussing the items contained in PR 1, President's Report to
the Trustees, Dr. Oswald concluded by saying that the report was a presentation
of certain representative activities and should not be considered as a comprehensive
coverage of all the many and varied activities which go on continually.

     Having determined that there were no additional items which any member of
the Board wished added to the report, the Governor accepted the report and ordered
it filed.


     E. Recommendations of the President (PR 2)

     Dr. Oswald stated that the items in PR 2 were routine in nature and he had no
special comments to make relative to any part of it. Since the Board members had
had an opportunity to review the contents prior to the meeting, the motion was made
by Mr. Black, seconded by Dr. Angelucci, and passed that the recommendations
contained in PR 2, Recommendations of the President, be approved and that it be
made an official part of the Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 2 at the end of the
Minutes. )


     F. Supplemental Recommendations of the President (PR 3)

     Dr. Oswald explained that PR 3, Supplemental Recommendations of the
President, contained only the financial report, which had not been completed in
time to include in PR 2. Copies of the report had been mailed from the Office of
Business Affairs but, since some of the members might not have received it, he
requested Mr. Clay Maupin to discuss it in Mr. Kerley's absence.

     Mr. Maupin went over in some detail the various exhibits contained in the
report and indicated that the income and expenditures for the two months' period
covered by the report were in accordance with expectations.

      Dr. Oswald indicated his wish to present two items which had just come to
him and which were not, therefore, included as a part of PR 3. He presented the
following matters to be added to PR 3 as an addendum:

(1) Leave of absence without pay for Dean C. R. Hager from October 1, 1967 to
    January 31, 1968, to serve on a special assignment.

(2) Authorization for Clay Maupin, Assistant Treasurer, to sell 10 shares of
    R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company common stock. The stock was a contribution
    to the S. Alex Parker Scholarship Fund and the proceeds are needed to make
    payment.

The motion was made, seconded, and passed that the above two items be added to
PR 3 and that it be approved as a whole and made a part of the official Minutes of
the meeting. (See PR 3 at the end of the Minutes. )


     G. Approval "In Principle" of Preliminary Development Plan for
Hopkinsville Community College (PR 4)

     Dr. Oswald asked that copies of the Preliminary Development Plan for the
Hopkinsville Community College be distributed for reference during the meeting.
Each member had received a copy in an earlier mailing. He indicated that the plan
was similar to those presented and approved for the other community colleges and
pointed out that it was predicatedon an ultimate enrollment of 2, 000 full-time
equivalent students with 90 teachers and would provide 250, 000 square feet, includ-
ing the 35, 000 square feet of existing building.

     On motion by Dr. Angelucci, seconded by Mr. Ezelle, and passed the
Hopkinsville Community College Preliminary Development Plan was approved "in
principle", with the understanding that the plan will be periodically revised as the
program requirements of the College become more fully expressed. Governor
Breathitt asked that it be noted that had he had a vote it would have been "aye".
(See PR 4 at the end of the Minutes. )


     H. Appropriation of Funds for University Hospital (PR 5)

     Dr. Albright explained that the request for an increase in the expenditure
authorization of the University Hospital was made in order to take care of 45 ad-
ditional beds which will be opened in the University Hospital. He explained that the
amounts requested for transfer had been provided in a reserve fund in the 1967-68
budget pending the activation of the additional beds.

     Dr. Angelucci expressed his approval of this particular action but as
Chairman of the Hospital Committee of the Board of Trustees, requested that in
the future such matters be referred to that committee prior to presentation to the
full Board.

     Dr. Sparks made the motion, which was duly seconded and passed, that the
expenditure authorization of the University Hospital be increased in accordance with
the recommendation contained in PR 5. (See PR 5 at the end of the Minutes. )




 









4



     I. 1967-68 Budget Revisions Approved (PR 6)

     Dr. Albright explained that PR 6, 1967-68 Budget Revisions, was in ac-
cordance with the custoniary procedure of reporting to the Board of Trustees any
change in estimated income and of obtaining Board approval of expenditures against
the revised income figure.

     Having had an opportunity to examine the recommended revisions in advance
and having no questions concerning these revisions, the motion was made by Mr.
Milner, seconded and carried unanimously that the revisions in the 1967-68 budget
as presented in PR 6 be authorized and approved. (See PR 6 at the end of the
Minutes.)


     J. August Degree Candidates Approved (PR 7)

     No degree may be conferred without approval of the University Senate and the
Board of Trustees. The University Senate on Monday, September 11, 1967, gave its
approval to the list submitted of those candidates for degrees who completed re-
quirements at the close of the 1968 summer session.

     On motion by Mr. Ezelle, duly seconded, and carried, approval was given to
the candidates for degrees whose names appear as part of PR 7 and the President
was authorized and directed to confer upon each individual on the list the degree to
which he is entitled at the commencement exercises on May 13, 1968. (See PR 7 at
the end of the Minutes. )


     K. Disability Insurance Plan Adopted (PR 8)

     A matter which has been of concern for a long time, particularly to members
of the faculty, has been the lack of a suitable method for handling total disability
situations when they arise. Each case in the past has been handled as an individual
matter and, to date, the University has been able to care for the individual in a
satisfactory manner. This method, however, does not provide necessary security
and the matter has been under consideration for over three years. The committee
of faculty and staff members studying this problem recommends the establishment
of a Long Term Group Total Disability Income Protection Program, the details of
which are given in PR 8 at the end of the Minutes.

     If adopted, this plan would be a much needed addition to the present program
of benefits and would not only provide security for Group I personnel but would be a
most effective recruitment tool. Although such insurance is being provided in an
ever increasing number of institutions, it is not yet a predominant benefit feature.



Professor Oberst and Dr. Diachun; speaking on behalf of the faculty, expressed




 








                                                                              5


the feeling that it would be received with enthusiasm and was an area which had been
of concern to the faculty for some time.

     Dr. Angelucci said that he would like to raise a question relative to the cover-
age of students who might be injured on field trips or while carrying out a University
assignment. Tt was indicated that when in a University vehicle, they were covered
but not otherwise. Mr. Darsie, the University's legal counsel, pointed out that it
would require specific statutory authorization to provide this type of insurance for
students.

     Mr. Ezelle said that he favored the adoption of the proposed disability insurance
plan but would like to raise a question as to how the growing insurance consciousness
on the part of employers might affect employment opportunities for physically handi-
capped persons, an area in which he was most interested.

     Dr. Oswald indicated he would ask that a study be made and a report prepared
for presentation to the Board of Trustees on both of these questions--liability for
students injured or disabled while on University assignments and the employment of
physically handicapped and whether employment of such persons might have any ef-
fect on insurance programs.

     There being no further discussion, the Governor called for a motion on the es-
tablishment of a Long Term Group Total Disability Income Protection Program. The
motion was made, seconded and carried that the University establish the program
outlined in PR 8. (See PR 8 at the end of the Minutes. )


     L. Organization for General Academic Leadership Approved and Dr. Lewis
Cochran Named Dean of the Graduate School and Vice President-Research (PR 9)

     Dr. Oswald called attention to a chart outlining a proposed Academic
Administrative Organization, pointing out that the organizational pattern was accord-
ing to the mandates contained in the Academic Plan endorsed by the Board of Trustees
in June 1964. He briefly reviewed the background statement and the recommendations
contained in PR 9, Proposed Academic Organization, and said that the administrative
appointment which was listed as the next item on the agenda was so closely tied into
the proposed academic organization that he would like to make it a part of this action.

     He said it gave him much pleasure to recommend to the Board of Trustees that
Dr. Lewis Cochran, Provost, be named Dean of the Graduate School and Vice
President-Research, effective immediately. He added that Dr. Cochran would con-
tinue to serve as Provost until such time as the Dean of Undergraduate Studies was
named, when the position of Provost would be discontinued.

     Members of the Board of Trustees expressed approval of the proposed organi-
zation and of the appointment of Dr. Cochran as Dean of the Graduate School and Vice
President-Research. On motion by Mr. Milner, seconded, and passed unanimously

PR 9, Proposed Academic Organization, was approved as presented and Dr.
Cochran's appointment as Dean of the Graduate School and Vice President-Research
was confirmed, effective immediately, with the understanding that he would con-
tinue to serve as Provost until such time as the Dean of Undergraduate Studies might
be named, at which time the position of Provost would be abolished. (See PR 9 at
the end of the Minutes. )


     M. Report of the Special Committee Relating to the Purchase of Maine Chance
Farm

     The next item on the agenda was the Report of the Special Committee Relating
to the Purchase of Maine Chance Farm and Governor Breathitt called on Dr.
Angelucci, chairman of the committee, for the report.

     Dr. Angelucci said that the committee had prepared the following resolution
and recommended its adoption:

               REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE RELATING
               TO THE PURCHASE OF MAINE CHANCE FARM

                  The Special Committee of the Board of Trustees on
         Maine Chance Farm recommends that the Board of Trustees
         reaffirm all its previous positions in regard to the acquisition
         of Maine Chance and urge the University of Kentucky Research
         Foundation and its officials to proceed with all steps necessary
         to effectuate the purchase agreement and obtain the deed for
         Maine Chance Farm in ample time to assure the fulfillment of
         the Foundation's contractual obligations.



                                      /S/
                                         Ralph J. Angelucci


                                      /S/
                                         B. Hudson Milner


      Following the reading of the resolution, Dr. Angelucci moved its adoption.
His motion was seconded by Mr. Broadbent. There was no discussion and the vote
showed all members in favor of its adoption.


      N. Meeting Adjourned



Having first determined there was no further business to come before the




 









                                                                            7


meeting, the Governor called for a motion for adjournment. Mr. Ezelle moved that
the meeting stand adjourned and his motion was seconded by Dr. Sparks. Without
dissent, it was so ordered and the meeting adjourned at 3:05 p. m.

                                        Respectfully submitted,



                                        Sam Ezelle, Secretary

6.  CLAY LOOKS AT PHYS ED IN MEXICAN TOUR

     Dr. Maurice A. Clay, associate professor of physical education,
returned the last of August from a two-week information-seeking
trip to Mexico. He studied the status of physical education and
sports in Mexico as material for a paper he has been asked to de-
velop on physical education in that country for Phi Epsilon Kappa's
"Monograph 2 on Physical Education Around the World."



7.  DR. MILLER STUDIES USE OF TITLE III FUNDS

     A study of the use of funds received by school systems through-
otu the country under Title III of the U.S. Elementary and Second-
ary Education Act of 1965 is being made by Dr. Richard I. Miller,
coordinator of the Program on Educational Change in the College of
Education. A research grant of $114,353 from the U.S. Office of Edu-
cation has been received. Dr. Miller prepared a similar study during
the first year of Title III's operation, which was presented to the
subcommittee on education of the Senate's Committee on Labor and
Public Welfare. The subcommittee is headed by Sen. Wayne Morse of
Oregon. Entitled "Catalyst For Change," totaling 557 pages, the
first report was printed in April by the U.S. Government Printing
Office. Dr. Miller expects the new study to result in several re-
search publications. He said that in analyzing the 1968 projects,
the first and second proposals submitted by the schools would be
compared in an attempt to determine whether Title III does make a
difference to youngsters in classrooms.



8.  ECOLOGY OF MAMMOTH CAVE BEING STUDIED

     Dr. Thomas C. Barr Jr., associate professor of zoology, has
stepped up his study of the ecology of Mammoth Cave, a project he
has had underway since the mid-fifties. He is studying the millions
of organisms which live--and have lived for thousands of years--in
total darkness within the maze of cracks and crevices of the esti-
mated 150 miles of the subterranean chambers. The first National
Science Foundation grant was givenin support of the research in
1961 and it gained momentum. Dr. Barr and two graduate students
recently completed one stage of the research--classifying the
various organisms, their species, varieties and general environ-
mental factors which make up the underground society.



9.  COUNTRY HAM RESEARCH RESULTS IN MILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY

     Dr. James Kemp, professor of animal science, says that when Uni-
versity of Kentucky researchers began their study of the curing of
hams about 12 years ago, they didn't know it would mark the beginning
of a multi-million dollar industry in the state. Dr. Kemp began his
research with the idea of speeding up the curing process of "'old
country" ham. Traditionally, a rule-of-thumb was that hams take a
year of curing and aging. "The idea that hams could be cured in a
matter of months was suggested by Sam Guard, a former editor of the
'Breeders Gazette'," Dr. Kemp recalled.
