    b. The President next presented the following communication
from the Student Union Board:


    November
    Twelve
    1940

    Board of Trustees
    University of Kentucky
    Lexington, Kentucky

    It has been called to the attention of members of the
    Student Union Board that the gollej-e Catering Company's
    lease on the grill and cafeteria privileges expires
    within the near future.

    It was the unanimous opinion of the members of the Student
    Union Board that both the grill and cafeteria could be
    more capably and efficiently operated by the University
    rather than an outside concessionaire.   We, therefore,
    recommend tho following:




 




5



         1. That the Board of Trustees consider carefully
             the advisability of purchase of facilities
             and equipment for operation of the grill and
             cafeteria.

          2. That, if such purchase is practical and
             feasible, authorization be made for this pur-
             chase by the University of Kentucky.

          3, That the grill and cafeteria be operated by
             personnel employed by the University and that
             student assistants and labor be used wherever
             practical.

         Thank you for your careful consideration.


                                Cordially yours,

                                (Si:ned) James G. Cook

                                         Student Union Board
                                         James Cook, President

                                (Signed) June Mehne

                                         June M.1chne, Secretary




     c, The President then asked for information as to the member-
ship of the Committee appointed to superintend the closing of the
contract with the College Catering Company and to recommend ways
and means of running a cafeteria in the Union Building.    It ap-
pears that at the meeting of the Board of Trustees June 7, 1940,
a committee was appointed to make a study of the cafeteria under
the management of the College Catering Company.   At the meeting
of the Executive Committee June 28, 1940, a statement signed by
two members was filed, which statement was not accepted by the
full membership of the Committee, the chairman stating that due to
business engagements he had not had time to make investigation
of facts relative to the matter.

     The College Catering Company on August 31, 1940, gave written
notice to the Board of Trustees of intention to exercise the option
to cancel the lease for conducting the cafeteria, as provided
therein, the termination to take effect within 90 days from the
date of notice.   This was brought before the meeting of the Board
of Trustees September 17, 1940, and the matter Was referred to a
committee consisting of President Thomas Cooper, Mr. James Park,
and Secretary of the Board, D. H. Peak,    It appears that the ap-
pointment of this Committee and statement of its functions is not
a matter of record in the minutes of that meeting, therefore (at
this meeting October 22, 1940) the following resolution was
passed to be effective, nun pro, tune, that is, as if passed the
meeting of the Board of Trustees, September 17, 1940.

     On motion and second, it is ordered that President Thomas
Cooper, M.r. James Park, and Secretary, D. H. Peak, constitute
a committee to close the contract of lease of cafeteria in the
Union Building with the Colle-e Catering Company and to recommend
to the Board of Trustees or Executive Committee ways and means of
continuing the operation of a cafeteria in the Union Building,
if such continuance is desirable, or to recommend the discon-
tinuance thereof.

     The Committee then made the report, copied herein, which
report on motion of Mr. Hobson, seconded by Mr. Kirkpatrick, was
accepted, ordered copied in the minutes, and the committee was
continued with power to proceed with carrying out the recommenda-
tions made in the report.


     Report:

                                  November 20, 1940


     To the Executive Committee:

          Your committee appointed to investigate the future
     of the cafeteria now operating in the Student Union
     Building reports as follows:

     Introduction

          When the Student Union Building was completed it was
     considered desirable to lease the operation of the cafe-
     teria to a commercial organization.    There seemed to be
     at that time certain reasons that made such an arrangement
     desirable, such as

          a. Insufficient funds to purchase equipment
          b. Lack of cash resources to promote the opera-
             tion
          c. The elimination of loss from operation,
             either in the general budget or in the Student
             Union Building budget
          d. The securing of trained and competent management
             prepared to undertake'an operation of considerable
             size.

          The University of Kentucky, for the Student Union Build-
     ing, entered into a contract with the College Catering Com-
     pany for this operation.   The essential aspects of contract
     were:

          1. Agreement for operation terminated upon ninety
             days notice by either party.
          2. The payment to the Student Union Buildingr of five
             per cent of gross income from the operation.

    3, The purchase of the College Catering Company of
       the equipment required, subject to acceptance by
       the Board of Trustees with an agreement of re-
       purchase upon the part of the University in event
       of termination of the contract, at the accepted
       cost less annual depreciation charges of ten per-
       cent,

    4, That the Student Union Building would pay for
       utilities used by the College Catering Company
       operation and would maintain the part of the
       building occupied by them.


    The College Catering Company, under date of August 31,
1940, notified the Chairman of the Board of Trustees that
they would terminate the agreement as of November 30 or
such time previous thereto as the Board would indicates

Possible Methods of Operation

     It was apparent that the making of a change in the
operation of the cafeteria during the college year was also
fraught with some difficulties.   The financial experiences
of the College Catering Company had been unsatisfactory
from their standpoint.   Likewise, there had been a falling
off of the patronage of the cafeteria.. Many reasons have
been suggested as to the causes.   However, this committee
has concerned itself primarily with the question as to
what should be done under the conditions that prevail,
It is apparent that there are four possibilities:

     1. To attempt to secure a new contract with another
        company.
     2. To provide for a method of a joint operating
        partnership between the University and a corn-
        mercial company.
     3. The operation of the cafeteria by the Student
        Union Building.
     4. The abandonment of cafeteria operation.

     The committee has investigated the possibility of
leasing to a commercial organization.   They have not found
an organization willing to undertake the entire operation
and bear the losses ord~;ains that may be involved.   One
company has expressed a desire to enter into a partnership,
an agreement in which the proposal is to invest a reason-
able amount, not to exceed $15,000.00 and to model the
operation somewhat after the present one, but with no pro-
vision for rent other than the division of any net profit
that might accrue.   The proposal also provides that the
company would assume all losses.   As the matter has been
considered, the committee has felt it inadvisable to dis-
continue the operation.   It was therefore led to the
conclusion that it would be advisable to undertake the
operation through the Student Union Building organization,
There are a number of reasons why this conclusion has
been reached.

     1. It represents the viewpoint of many of the staff
        and much of the student body of the University.
     2, It is found that all other universities, except
        in two instances, operate their food units
        directly.
     3. There can be a laboratory for educational work
        and it can extend many service facilities to the
        University.
     4, It was considered that, given time, a management
        could be set up that would result in returns to
        the Student Union 3uilding.




 





9



Suggested Plan of Operation

    Basic to the operation agreement the College Catering
Company has kindly agreed to continue their operation until
the Christmas vacation, the Student Union Building guaran-
teeing them against loss during the period following the
termination of their agreement.   The committee recommends
that:

     1. There be set up under the Student Union Building
        a cafeteria and grill room,
     2. The cafeteria   be operated through competent
        management, responsible to the Business Agent or
        such individuals as he may designate to carry
        this responsibility.
     3. An organization be set up under the Student Union
        WPA project which will, through a manager, operate
        the Commons, inasmuch as the cafeteria will con.
        tribute to the payment of the interest and bonds
        of the Student Union Building.
     4, Funds for the meeting of the financial agreement
        made by the Board of Trustees and the College
        Catering Company be secured through the Student
        Union Building and other funds accumulated through
        activities.


It is recognized that some time may be necessary to restore
the patronage to the cafeteria and that it will probably
require a considerable Period to more than make expenses.
However, it would seem that the proposed plan is one that
has within it greater possibilities than any other proposal
the committee has been able to find.   The committee recom-
mends that the necessary authorization be given for the
setting up of the necessary procedure and that approval be
given for the temporary arrangement made with the College
Catering Company.

     5. Civil Aeronautics Administration.

     a. At the meeting of the Executive Coammittee of October
18, 1940, the President was authorized to make formal appli-
cation for participation of the University of Kentucky in
Civilian Pilot Training.   He reported at this meeting that
the application was made November 6, 1940.    He then presented
a copy of the application, together with bulletin outlining
the Civil Pilot Training Program as conducted this fall.

     The action of the President was approved, and he was directed
to make further report to the regular meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees December 10, 1940.

     b. President Cooper then presented a letter received from the
Student Government Association, the statements in which were en-
dorsed by 108 students.   The letter, on motion and second, was
ordered recorded in the minutes.   It is copied as follows:



                                    November 5, 1940


     Mr. Thomas P. Cooper
     Acting President
     University of Kentucky
     Lexington, Kentucky

     My dear Mzr. Cooper:

     I am writing you this letter to show you-the interest of
     the student body concerning the C. A. A. program.   I hope
     that this letter may be of value in your report to the
     Board of Trustees concerning this matter.

     In talking to the students about the above matter, I have
     learned that many students desire it for part or all of the
     following reasons:

          1. The addition of this program will be a great step
            in .widening the s roote of the University' s curricula.
          2. The practical knowledge gained from field work
             would aid in the solving of laboratory and textbook
             mysteries in advanced mechanical and electrical
             engineering and physics courses.
          3. It will give to the students a cheaper method of
             learning how to fly.   About twenty men are now
             taking such lessons at their own expense and many
             more would, if the prohibitive cost was lowered.
          4. With the introduction of this program, men taking
             Advanced Military Science would be given the op-
             portunity to study elementary aeronautics and cor-
             relate it with present and future training as
             Reserve Officers.
          5. Since the passage of the second Selective Service
             Act, many more men wish to take this training so
             that they might become memfbers of the Army Air Cor-os
             if they qualify.   They feel that this training
             would give them valuable education in aeronautics
             that would help them reach their goal.




 




11



    I feel that the training now offered is the safest that can
    be obtained in this line. I feel that the Board of Trustees
    would have no worries about filling the quota but instead
    will be more concerned with satisfying the large number over
    the quotat s limit.

    I feel that the above is the general sentiment of the student
    body and I take the liberty to enclose a few of the many pe-
    titions offered to me on this matter. I shall nroduce the
    originals of the same upon request.

8. Law Books - Gift h  Profe.sor A. Kocourek.

Report by Dean Evans:


                                       November 8, 1940
 President Thomas P. Cooper
 University of Kentucly

 My dear President Cooper:

 Somethin, like a year ago I reported to the Council a gift
 by Professor Kocourek, of Northwestern University, of all
 his books in the field of jurisprudence, philosophy, and
 legal history and Roman Law.   The collection that he has




 











is said to be probably the best private collection in the
United States except that owned by Dean Pound, of the
Harvard Law School.   Mr. KocoureL wants us to have these
books, but he does not want to deliver them actually so
long as he is teachihg.  He tells rne that they are, however,
to IDe delivered within a period of five years from November
5, 1940.

Professor Kocourek was on the point of signing a bill of
sale for the books on those terms when it occurred to him
that the insurance on his house covered his books and of
course the standard clause in an insurance policy has, in
effect, the following terms: "If the insured is not the
complete owner, the insurance shall be invalid."   In a
letter of November 6 he writes that he is puzzled about
this clause and says: "The fire risk is one I do not
wish to underpako.'   I assume from thatthat he has one
of two courses in mind, either (1) not to make an actual
transfer by way of bill of sale at this time, or (2) that
the transfer be made at this time but that we assume the
obligation of the insurance during the period before the
books are delivered to us.

Since 1 know that we will ultimately get the books within
a period of five years, I am disposed to suggest to Pro-
fessor Kocourek that the bill of sale need not be executed
now, if that suits his convenience.   If, on the other hand,
he would like to execute the bill of sale now, in the event
that we would take care of the insurance cost, I think it
would be a wise thing to do.   The cost ought not to amount
to very much per year.   This is a very generous gift and
very valuable.   It consists of such items as we would
probably not have money to buy for many, many years, and
it might be questionable whether we ever should put much
money into this general field--more than we have done from
time to time.   I should be glad if the Board would give rme
authority to say that we will pay tlle insurance in the event
that that alternative would be preferable to Professor
Kocourek.

I am including herewith an unsig-ned letter of November 5
and a signed letter of November 6, which seems to modify
his prior letter, and an unsigned form of a bill of sale.

                            Very truly yours,

                                  (Signed) Alvin E. Evans
                                              Dean

     On motion of Mr. Kirkpatrick, seconded by Mr. Hobson, the gift
of books by Professor A. Kocourek was accepted.  Dean Evans was
authorized to use his discretion as to bill of sale, and he was
asked to express the appreciation of the Board of Trustees for the
gift.  It was recommended that insurance on the books be continued
and that the University of Kentucky pay the premiums on such in-
surance,


     9. Southeastern Conference, Assessment to Pay~alarZof Com-
missioner.

     The President presented for information to the members of the
Executive Committee a memorandum relative to assessments of mem-
bers of the Southeastern Conference in order to provide funds for
payment of salary of the Comm.issioner.  The memorandum was ordered
filed for reference.


     10. Theft of Microscopes.

     The President stated that a report made by Dr. Mwlorris Scherago
shows the theft of twenty-five microscopes from his rooms in the
Biological Sciences building, which occurred on the night of Octo-
ber 12.

     The theft was immediately reported to the City Police Depart-
ment and that organization has done commendable work in connection
with the case,   The persons charged with the theft have been ap-
prehended and eleven of the microscopes have either been traced
or returned to the University of Kentucky.   It appears now that
the University will suffer no loss by reason of the unfortunate
occurrence,

quested President Cooper to have executed forms for continuation
of a Social Work Project, begun under the administration of Presi-.
dent Frank L. McVey.   Each form makes the following statement as
to nature of the project:

          "To install a new and continuing Social Service in-
     dex of the assistance rendered relief clients and of the
     welfare service in Clark County."

     On motion and second the President was authorized to have exe-
cuted these forms and such others as may follow in carrying out
the original project, provided there is inserted in each form the
following clause:

          n The official sponsor (University of Kentucky) by
     its authorized agents, whose signatures appear above,
     interprets this agreement to mean that it is under no
     obligation to finance the Clark County Social Service
     Project under this proposal nor to contribute in any
     material way other than through the professional ser-
     vices of its representatives.   The University of Ken-
     tucky is not expected to contribute any funds toward
     the operation of the project."

stated that he appointed Robert Graham, now head of the Department
of Animal Pathology and Hygiene at the University of Illinois ,as
