I. Administrative Appointmnents
Dr. Oswald informed the Board that he wished to make recommendations for
two administrative positions--Chairman of the Department of Surgery of the College
of Medicine and Dean of the College of Pharmacy. He added that the chairmanship
of the Department of Surgery had already received some publicity.
Chairman of the Department of Surgery Dr. Ben Eiseman recently an-
nounced his decision to resign as chairman of the Department of Surgery at the
University of Kentucky Medical Center to return to the University of Colorado as a
professor of surgery, effective July I., 1967. Dr. Eiseman's resignation represents
a great loss for the University of Kentucky; however, the University is fortunate in
having a very able man already on the staff of the Department of Surgery as a re-
placement for Dr. Eiseman as chairman of the department- -Dr. Ward 0. Griffen,
Jr. Dr. Griffen who joined the faculty of the College of Medicine in 1965 has an un-
usually fine educational background and post-doctoral training, the latter including
the award of a Markle Fellowship. He has shown unusual progress as a member of
the faculty of the Department of Surgery and is well thought of by his colleagues
throughout the College of Medicine. He has reached the stage of professional and
scientific recognition where other institutions are considering him as a potential
candidate for the chairmanship of departments of surgery. Were it necessary to
search outside the University for a replacement for Dr. Eiseman, it is the feeling
of the College of Medicine that Dr. Griffen would be among a top small group of
candidates. The Faculty Council of the College of Medicine and Dr. Willard, Vice
President-Medical Center, recommended that Dr. Ward 0. Griffen be named
Chairman of the Department of Surgery effective July 1, 1967. Dr. Oswald indi-
cated his concurrence in the recommendation.
Dr. Angelucci commented that it was with regret that the Executive Com-
mittee accepted the resignation of Dr. Eiseman. He added, "Dr. Eiseman is a great
surgeon and we wish him well. Dr. Griffen is a very well-qualified man and knows
4
our problems and will carry on in the traditions already initiated. " He asked the
Secretary to send to Dr. Eiseman a letter thanking him for the fine job he has
done in establishing the Department of Surgery and expressing the appreciation of
the Executive Committee for his efforts.
On motion by Mr. Hillenmeyer, seconded by Dr. Denham, and without ob-
jection, Dr. Ward 0. Griffen, Jr. was named Chairman of the Department of
Surgery of the College of Medicine, effective July 1, 1967.
Dean of the College of Pharmacy In 1964 Dean Earl P. Slone was granted
a two-year leave of absence to permit him to participate in the University's Indo-
nesian program and Dr. Arthur Glasser was named Acting Dean of the College of
Pharmacy. While in Indonesia, Dean Slone requested permission to retire from
the deanship upon his return to the campus. A Search Committee was appointed to
find a replacement for Dean Slone. The committee, under the chairmanship of Dr.
Peter Bosomworth, has worked very closely with the State Pharmacy Association
and has reviewed the credentials of many candidates. The committee has recom-
mended to Dr. Willard and to President Oswald that Dr. Joseph Swintosky, who is
currently with Smith Kline and French in Philadelphia, be named as Dean of the
College of Pharmacy and Professor of Pharmacy (with tenure) effective January 1,
1967.
Dr. Swintosky, before joining Smith Kline & French in 1953, was a teacher
and researcher at the University of Wisconsin Pharmacy School. He currently is
an adjunct professor at the Temple University School of Pharmacy in Philadelphia.
Known nationally in academic, industrial and government pharmaceutical circles,
Dr. Swintosky currently is involved in work of the American Pharmaceutical As-
sociation's Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences, of which he is the national
president-elect. He is a native of Kewaunee, Wisconsin and graduated from the
University of Wisconsin with the BS degree in 1942 and was awarded the Ph. D.
degree there in 1948. Dr. Swintosky is a member of several professional organ-
izations, the author of numerous scientific publications dealing with original
research in pharmacy, and holds seven patents related to pharmaceuticals.
Prior to calling for a motion Dr. Angelucci commended the Search Com-
mittee for the excellent job it had done in screening candidates and expressed the
pleasure of the Executive Committee that such an outstanding individual had been
found to head up the College of Pharmacy.
On motion by Mr. Hillenmeyer, seconded by Dr. Denharn, and passed, Dr.
Joseph V. Swintosky was named Dean of the College of Pharmacy and Professor of
Pharmacy (with tenure). effective January 1, 1967.

M. Report of Prestonsburg Community College Director
Dr. Henry A. Campbell, Jr., Director, Prestonsburg Community College
gave the following report on the activities of the Community College over the past
two years since it first opened in 1964.
"Enrollment Statistics: The enrollment at the Community College has
increased from 322 for the year 1964 - 1965 to 616 for the year 1966 - 1967.
In our summer school for 1965 we had 148, in this past summer school, we
had 193.
"Faculty Recruitment: Prestonsburg Community College was allocated
9 full-time teachers for the Fall of 1964. It was necessary for us to go back
to Dr. Albright and ask for 2 additional faculty members which we were
given. In addition to these 11 full-time faculty members, we employed 8
people on a part-time basis. During the Fall of 1965, we were originally
allocated 13 full-time instructors, but again it was necessary to go back and
secure funds to employ 4 additional teachers. This year we were allocated
24 full-time faculty members and later in the summer were given an ad-
ditional full-time person which gave us a total of 25 full-time teachers. We
are also currently using 11 people on a part-time basis teaching subjects
such as German, Latin, Art, Music Humanities and English. We have re-
cruited our faculty from all over the United States. We currently have
faculty members from lZ institutions all together representing each major
geographical area of the nation. Prestonsburg Community College has one
of the biggest Arts and Sciences offerings of the Community Colleges, and
we are currently working toward a fine music program.
"Cultural Enrichment Program: Last summer I wrote a program for
the Big Sandy Community Action Program which asked for an $88, 000 grant
which they received. Under this program 329 high school students in the
tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades came to Prestonsburg Community
College and attended classes in the arts and crafts, modern foreign languages,
biological sciences, physical sciences, humanities, social sciences, and
dramatic arts. These students were students who, in some cases, had been
given up on by the local high schools. One high school actually recommended
that we not take some of their students because they were problem youngsters.
We took those students and now, the following year, each of them is in
8
school and doing better work. This program was so well-received that a
follow-up study was approved and now every Saturday counselors from
each of the surrounding high schools meet at the College to evaluate the
program and to suggest ideas for a new proposal. Also, every other
Saturday, 128 students are being brought into the College to continue the
work they began this summer. Mr. Lawson, whom the Big Sandy Com-
munity Action Program employed to write another program for this
summer, is meeting with the counselors, parents, and teachers of these
students doing an evaluative study on which to base the next program. The
new program will be so written that it will tie in with the Jenny Wiley
Drama Association. We are suggesting to the University that they send
someone down here from the main campus and are going to invite out-
standing drama students to come here for this program. A member of our
faculty is writing a play on Jenny Wiley and we will work with the Big Sandy
Community Action Program on this production. Our own staff will furnish
part of the instruction. Our students will participate as actors or actresses.
We think we can make Jenny Wiley an outstanding thing nationally.
"Mountain Dew Festival: As you know, each spring we have a fun day
or a games day which was named the Mountain Dew Festival this past year.
We invite six of the surrounding colleges to come to Prestonsburg and par-
ticipate in this festival. We have track meets, basketball tournaments,
golf, bowling, tennis, etc. The revolving trophy is a Brovn Jug which is
on display in the window of the Commons Room of the College. Last year
in conjunction with the festival, the Student Council sponsored a Where the
Action Is production and netted $2, 400 for their scholarship fund.
"Youth Symphonic Band: Currently Mr. Kalos is meeting with a Youth
Symphonic Band one Saturday out of each month. These students work with
their high school band directors during the week and come to the College
for a group rehearsal once a month. It is hoped that this band will grow and
perhaps become a part of a Community Concert Band.
"I have just had four of my faculty members ask me if it were permissi-
ble for them to go out into the outlying areas of the service area and offer
the students free instruction in piano, arts and crafts, and basic music. I
have always encouraged this sort of faculty participation, and am very proud
of our faculty for creating such ideas and for working toward their com-
pletion. "
Dr. Angelucci thanked Dr. Campbell for his informative report and expressed
the appreciation of the members of the Executive Committee for the hospitality ex-
tended by the students, faculty, and staff of the Prestonsburg Community College.
N. Meeting Adjourned
Dr. Angelucci, having determined that there was no further business to come
9
before the meeting, called for a motion for adjournment. The motionbeing duly
made, seconded, and carried, the meeting adjourned at 3:30 p. m.
Respectfully submitted,

PRESIDENT'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
November 17, 1966
1. DENTISTRY ANNOUNCES INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM
An international health program that could produce far-reaching effects upon
dental-school teaching in this and other countries was announced last week by the
College of Dentistry. The program, a function of the Department of Community Dentistry
headed by Dr. Wesley 0. Young, will be activated next summer when two of the Univer-
sity's dental students go abroad--one to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the other to London,
England. Four other students will prepare for later international assignments by
spending the summer on Indian reservations in the Southwest as part of a cooperative
program wilth the Division of Indian Health of the U.S. Public Health Service,
Dr. Alvin L. Morris, dean of the College of Dentistry, says the program, besides
enriching the training given undergraduates, will provide special training opportu-
nities for dentists interested in international health and extend the service functions
of the college into a world framework,
The new program, which will be directed by Dr. Jack Zwemer, will encompass four
phases: (1) Development by the dental faculty of a systematic approach to collecting
information about dentistry throughout the world; (2) developing methods for involving
undergraduate dental students in health programs overseas; (3) offering service programs
to other countries, particularly to their dental schools, and (4) developing a graduate
program for dentists who may wish to enter the field of international health.
2, COLLEGE PLANS MINING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
The advisory board of Prestonsburg Community College has appointed a subcommittee
on technology curricula which will assist in implementing an associate degree program
in mining technology. The subcommittee also will help in the planning of a cooperative
program in mining engineering.
The subcommittee includes one representative each from the Island Creek Coal Coin-
pany, the Princess Elkhorn Coal Company, Republic Steel and Bethlehem Steel, The
Island Creek Company has contributed scholarships valued at $1,400 for students en-
rolled in the program.
The curriculum in mining technology also is being implemented at Southeast Com-
munity College this year,

3, PRESS PUBLISHING 11 BOOKS THIS SEMESTER
Eleven books are on the fall publication list of the University Press. Director
Bruce Denbo reports that -the Press will turn out about 22 books during the 1966-67
academic year, a substantial increase over the approximately 15 titles that have been
published in recent years.
Six of the volumes on the fall list are either written or edited by UK faculty
members. Included are "The Changing Face of Southeast Asia," by Dr. Amry Vandenbosch
and Dr. Richard Butwell; "Gold Rush Diary," edited by Dr. Thomas D. Clark; "The Negro
in the French West Indies," by Dr. Shelby T. McCloy; "Foreign Seizures: Sabbatino and
the Act of State Doctrine," by Prof. Eugene F. Mooney; "Circle of Fire: Dickens'
Theatrical Vision and Style and the Popular Victorian Theatre," by Dr. W. F. Axton,
and "The Humanities and the Understanding of Reality," edited by Dr. Thomas B, Stroup.
Other volumes to be released by the Press this fall are "Truman and Taft-Hartley,"
by R. Alton Lee; "The Road to Independence," by Bernard Mason; "Cotton vs. Conscience,"
by Kinley JO Brauer; "The Academic Mind and Reform," by Benjamin G. Rader, and "The
Immigrants' Influence on Wilson's Peace Policies," by Joseph P. O'Grady.
In another expansion of its publications program, the Press now has released
eight titles in its new series of paperback editions, All were published by the Press
originally in hard covers.
4, SHARP INCREASE NOTED IN SOCIAL WORK MAJORS
The multitude of new job opportunities opened up by federal anti-poverty programs
is influencing many college students to prepare for careers as social workers, At the
University, the number of social work majors has jumped 90 per cent in a year, from
70 to 132.
Prof. Harold E. Wetzel, chairman of the Department of Social Work, says the
vastly increased federal demand for social workers is but a partial explanation of
students' new interest in the field. The rising number of social work majors at UK,
he believes, is a reflection of the intense recruiting campaign conducted among
Kentucky high school students in recent years by the state departments of child wel-
fare and economic security. The efforts of these and allied agencies to attract more
young people to the profession are just now beginning to show results, Professor
Wetzel reports.

5 COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO INSTRUCT 6,200 THIS YEAR
Dean Ellis F. Hartford reports that approximately 6,200 persons will receive some
type of instruction in the community college system during the current academic year,
This figure is the estimated number which will be enrolled in the various academic9
technical and continuing education programs.
The community colleges opened the present semester with 5,525 students, an increase
of 22 per cent over the September, 1965, figure. The freshman enrollment of 3,642 re-
presents a 10 per cent increase in a year, while the 1,883 sophomores constitute an in-
crease of 51 per cent over the 1965 total.
Dean Hartford also reports that the community college system faculty now numbers
171 full-time and 135 part-time members. They provide the first two years of instruction
in virtually all of the major and pre-professional programs now offered on the Lexington
campus, and for the 27 associate degree programs now functioning.
At the Prestonsburg College, our host for today's meeting, freshman enrollment
now stands at 438, an increase of 16 per cent in the past year, and sophomores total
168, a one-year increase of 19 per cent.
6. EXPERIMENT TESTS TV AS DRIVER-EDUCATION MEDIUM
The Department of Civil Engineering and Lexington station WKYT-TV this week
started a series of experimental telecasts that will help determine whether mass com-
munications media can effectively reduce traffic accidents through driver education,
Films made at Lexington intersections by a civil engineering research team show good
and bad driving habits, The films are to be shown each Tuesday and Thursday night by
the local station fox a period of several weeks,
The project, financed by a $54,800 grant from the U.S. Office of Education, is
directed by Dr. John W, Hutchinson, On completion of the televised film series, the
research team will again film Lexingtonians' driving habits as demonstrated at selected
intersections, and check 1967 accident figures at those sites against accident patterns
recorded there in an earlier period. Working with Dr, Hutchinson are Dr. Jess Gardner
of the College of Education, and engineering research assistants Bennie R. Maffet of
Elizabethtown and Malcolm F. Howard of Henderson.

9. POISON-INFORMATION PROGRAM IS PACE SETTER
A training program in emergency anti-poison procedures, offered by a University
institute to doctors and other health personnel throughout Kentucky, is the first of
its kind in the United States. Dir, Mark M. Luckens, director of the Institute of
Environmental Toxicology and Occupational Hygiene, described in a recent address in
Chicago how the agency provides information on a 24-hour basis.
His audience, members of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, was
told how the UK program provides advice to physicians and assists them in making a
diagnosis. The plan is based on a system which stores and instantly retrieves re-
search data on poisons and their antidotes, Another service provided by the institute
is operation of a speakers' bureau which attempts to disseminate information on the
proper handling of poisonous materials,
