Miller, truck driver, Main- tenance and Operations, received a burn on the left wrist when trying to prime the pump on a truck. His foot slipped and his left arm hit the exhaust pipe, severely burning the arm, He did not think the burn was bad at first; later it became necessary to receive treatment. He reported at the Infirmary on Saturday, August 11, 1956. No doctor or nurse was available. He was sent to the hospital for treatment and tetanus shot, Dr. Dale M. Royalty gave medical services and rendered an invoice for $11. 50 for three calls, The hospital bill was for emergency room only. J. A. Brunfield, plumber, Maintenance and Operations, received a puncture in the heel of his left hand. This injury occurred while Mr. Brum- field was working with a sewer rod, The rod struck an object in the sewer line and, pressure being applied, was caused to reverse, striking the heel of the left hand, thus causing the puncture. Mr. Brumfield was sent to the Infirmary. No doctor was on duty. He was requested to go to the Good Samaritan Hospital for treatment and tetanus shot. The Hospital submitted invoice for $3. 75. The doctor has not yet sub- mitted an invoice, 2 Mr. Peterson recommended that invoices rendered in connection with accidents to A. F. Miller and T. A. Brurnfield be paid, with the under- standing that the University does not set a precedent nor admit negligence or liability. Randall Wood, milker, Dairy Center, Experiment Station Farm, received a severe cut on the right wrist caused by a broken glass in a door. Mr, Wood was trying to hold the door and, at the same time, hold back a cow that was not very tame. Another cow pushed through the barn and through the door. This caused Mr. Wood, s hand and arm to slip off the door, breaking the glass. The glass cut his right wrist severely, Doctors were not on duty at the Infirmary. Mr. Wood was bleeding profusely and was sent to the emergency room, Good Samaritan Hospital. Doctor Thompson R. Bryant, jr., treated Mr. Wood and submitted an invoice of $10. 00. Hospital charges were $6. 75. William Bedford, tractor operator, Experiment Station Farm, received a punctured finger while adjusting a guard on a mowing machine. The tractor moved and the mower guard punctured the finger. A doctor was not available at the Infirmary, Mr. Bedford was sent to the emergency room, Good Samaritan Hospital, Dr. Thompson R. Bryant, Jr. , gave medical ser- vice and rendered an invoice in the amount of $3. 00. The emergency room invoice was $3. 750 Mr. Peterson recommended that the Experiment Station be per- mitted to pay these accounts, with the expressed understanding that the Uni- versity does not set a precedent nor does it admit negligence or liability in so doing. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the expenses of the injuries to A. F. Miller and J. A. Brumfield were authorized paid from Col- lege funds, and the expenses of the injuries to Randall. Wood and William Bed- ford were approved for payment from Experiment Station funds, with the ex- pressed understanding that the University does not set a precedent nor does it admit negligence or liability in approving payment for medical and hospital invoices, D. Additional Federal Loan--Shawneetown Apartments. Mr. Peterson reported that, pursuant to authorization of the Board of Trustees, the University has negotiated with the Housing and Home Finance Agency, Washington, D.C., through its Atlanta office, a loan of $1,806,000 for the purpose of financing the construction of apartment buildings known as Shawneetown Apartments. Bids have been taken for the construction of this project as planned. The low bid submitted exceeded the amount of the loan by about $450, O00 The original loan agreement had contingent funds in excess of $100,000, Since many of the uncertainties connected with a project of this type are eliminated through receipt of base bids, it is now thought that an ad- ditional loan of $350, 000 will be sufficient to finance the project. Mr. Peter- son requested authority to apply to the Housing and Home Finance Agency for an additional loan of $350, 000, making the total loan $2, 156, 000. He request- ed authority on behalf of the University to sign all papers necessary to consum- mate the additional loan requested. 3 Members of the Committee discussed the recommendation, and upon motion made, seconded and carried, President Frank G. Dickey and Vice President Frank D. Peterson were authorized, jointly or separately, to sign any and all papers requested of them by the Federal Government or agencies thereof to negotiate and consummate an increase of $350, 000 in the existing agreement to bring the total loan agreement to the amount of $2, 156, 000X E. Operation of the Health Service. Members of the Committee asked to discuss further the services rendered by the University Health Service and the schedule of keeping the Health Service open. Mr. Peterson read communications from Vice Presi- dent Chamberlain and Dr, J. S. Chambers, director of Health Service. A general discussion ensued, and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, President Dickey was requested to arrange to have the Health Service open with a doctor on duty during office hours, save for regularly established holi- days. F. State Dental Association Committee. President Dickey reported that a committee representing the Ken- tucky State Dental Association had requested to be heard. The committee, which consisted of: Dr. Lyman Wagers, Chairman; Dr. Shailer Peterson, Secretary, Council on Dental Education, American Dental Association, Chicago; Dr. Arthur Elam, President, Kentucky State Dental Association; Dr. A. B. Coxwell, Secretary, Kentucky Dental Association; Dr. Jim Hoge, Dr. Vincent Barr, Dr. Marvin Lutes, Dr. William Kranz, Dr. Frank Watts and Dr. Joe Jones, Jr., was invited to the meeting and submitted a Resolution adopted by the House of Delegates of the Kentucky State Dental Association in executive session, August 28, 1956, which is as follows: WHEREAS, a medical center has been established at the University of Kentucky and it is understood that it includes, among its other health facilities, a School of Dentistry, and WHEREAS, the construction and organize Lion plans of the School of Medicine are already under way with the first class scheduled to enter in 1959 and a physician appointed, who serves as Vice-President of the University of Ken- tucky, in charge of this center, and also as Dean of the Med- ical School, and WHEREAS, it is under'Atood that the present time-table calls for the detailed planning of a School of Dentistry no sooner than 1959, and WHEREAS, authoritative dental educators agree that if a center is to include a medical school and a dental school that use joint facilities, such as a basic science school and 4 hospital, that the planning must be done simultaneously in order to maintain high and equal standards for Dentistry, and WHEREAS, at this time there has been no joint planning or consultation with persons especially trained and familiar with the establishment and operations of dental education and facilities, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Kentucky State Dental Association having the knowledge that this school is a reality, and desiring that the quality of dental education in this school be established and maintained on the highest scholastic levels necessary for the future of the Dental Profession, urge that in order to insure these objectives a Dean for the School of Dentistry at the University of Kentucky be selected and appointed at this time so that he may assist in concurrent planning of the School of Dentistry in its joint operation with the School of Medicine at the Uni- versity of Kentucky, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Kentucky State Dental Association desiring that this school have equal autonomy with the Medical School urge that the adminis - trative head of the medical center not be a Dean of either the Medical or Dental School but instead a third party, thus not making one professional school subservient to the other as it would be under the present administrative set-up at the University of Kentucky, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a committee of no less than five be appointed by the President, to communicate with and present a copy of this Resolution to the Governor of Kentucky, the President of the University of Kentucky and the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky. Representatives stated that the committee desired to be consulted during the planning stage and in the development of a College of Dentistry, which is to become a part of the Medical Center at the University of Kentucky. The committee requested that the dental school be planned at the same time the College of Medicine is planned. They requested that the dean of the Col- lege of Dentistry be separate and apart from the dean of the College of Med- ic ine . They were advised that the committee representing the Kentucky State Dental Association would be consulted and that the Executive Committee was in no position to make any commitment as to policy of administering the College of Dentistry, Then the Chairman thanked the committee for appearing and extended the appreciation of the Executive Committee and the University to the Kentucky State Dental Association for its interest in the Medical Center and. the University. The committee was excused and, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Resolution was authorized received and made of record. G. Report on Pre -Medical Student Housing. President Dickey reported that the sub-committee had worked out all details incident to the acceptance of the offer of a local group of doctors to make available a. house for pre-medical students at the University. He advised that the house had been accepted and he knew of no adverse criticism from any source. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the report was received. H. Report on Use of Coliseum. President Dickey reported that he received a request for permission for President Eisenhower to make an appearance in the Coliseum. He related that, under the Board' s policy, the Coliseum could not be used for political rallies. He advised that he polled the members of the Board, after which ap- provv I was given. The Coliseum and its facilities were also offered to Mr. Stepaenson, Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the action of the President was concurred in, with the understanding that use of the Coliseum for the purposes stated does not set a precedent. I. Report on Surplus Veterans Administration Land. President Dickey reported that local newspapers had carried a news item to the effect that the 89-acre tract adjacent to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Lexington had been approved for transfer to the University for ex- perimental use. He advised that the University had not received any official notification. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the information was received and ordered made of record. President Dickey and Vice Pres- ident Peterson were authorized jointly or separately to sign and execute any documents necessary to consummate the transfer of this land. J. Dean of Admissions -- Robert L, Mills. President Dickey read the following statement: During the past several years the responsibilities attached to the Office of the Registrar have increased sharply. As an example, last year in the reorganization of the counseling service of the University, the counseling and testing offices, with their varied programs, were placed under the direction of the registrar. As the number of students enrolling at the University of Kentucky increases, the work of the registrar 6 and the admissions office will become increasingly complex and important. The chief admissions officer of the University is a most important position. He comes in contact with more persons off the campus and on the campus than practically any other person in the University. He contacts high schools, other colleges and universities, educational associations, and he reports to a number of outside accrediting and professional agencies. His contacts on campus include those with ad- ministrative officers, members of the faculty, students, and parents. In all of these contacts, he must be in a position to speak with authority and must command the respect of all. The registrar and admissions officer cannot be held in a lesser position to that occupied by the deans. He must work with them at their level. For all of these reasons, it seems wise to recommend that the position of registrar be expanded in title and responsibility. I am, therefore, recommending that effective October 19, the position of Dean of Admissions and Registrar be established. The person who is currently so capably and eminently filling the position of registrar would become the person to hold the title of Dean of Admissions and Registrar. Dr. Robert L. Mills is a man of great ability and is one that we wish to hold, In my opinion no individual could be found who would be able to serve so well in this newly recommended position, I should further like to recommend that we increase the salary for the position to $9, 000 per year, this increase for Dr. Mills to become effective November 1, 1956. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation of President Dickey was concurred in and Dr. Robert L. Mills was elected Dean of Admissions, effective November 1, 1956, with adjustment in salary. K. Additional Facilities for Northern Center. President Dickey reported that there was some uncertainty as to whether or not the land needed for a site for the Northern Extension Center could be condemned, and that there was some uncertainty in the minds of the local authorities in Covington. He suggested that the matter be passed for future action by the Board of Trustees. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation of the President was concurred in. 7 L. Leave of Absence for Dean Elvis J. Stahr, Jr. President Dickey reported that Dean Elvis J. Stahr, Jr., had been requested to head up the President, s Committee on Education Beyond the High School. He stated that he felt that this was a most important committee and a distinct honor to Dean Stahr, and he was extremely proud that Dean Stahr could make a contribution in this area. He recommended that Dean Stahr be given leave of absence without pay, but eligible for expenses that would enable him to continue on a consultant basis with the College of Law. President Dickey stated that Dean Stahr would make occasional trips to the campus to keep in touch with the work of the College. The President further stated that a grant had been received to make it possible to pay expenses of Dean Stahr, which grant would be reported and accepted tunder the heading of "Gifts". Members of the Committee discussed the honor which had been be- stowed upon Dean Stahr and the President, s recommendation. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the leave of absence was granted for the year, the grant for expenses was authorized, and the continuation of Dean Stahr' s services on a consulting basis was approved. M. Budget Increases. President Dickey reported that the enrollment in the Department of English had exceeded the estimate of the College of Arts and Sciences and that additional instructors were necessary. He stated that some rearrange - ments had been made in the budget for the Department of English but that a budget increase of $1, 500. 00 was needed, He recommended this increase. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Comptroller was directed to make the necessary budget adjustments and $1, 500 00 was ap- propriated for the Department of English from the unappropriated surplus of the General University Budget. President Dickey reported a communication from Dean White and others concerning a "Constable" painting given to the University by Mr. P.A. B. Widener HlI It is thought that the painting is a genuine work of John Constable and its history as a part of the illustrious Widener collection speaks favorably for it, There is, however, some difference of opinion as to its authenticity. President Dickey requested appropriation of $150. 00 for the restoration of the picture. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, $150. 00 was appro- priated to the Art Department for the job of restoring the painting. President Dickey reported that the family of Senator Alben W. Barkley had consented to give to the University of Kentucky the Barkley Collec - tion, for display. He suggested that the Library would need about $1, 000. 00 to do the necessarv work to display properly the collection. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the sum of $1, 000. 00 was authorized appropriated to Account 1320 for this purpose, 8 President Donovan reported that Mr. P. A. B. Widener III had given to the University of Kentucky his very unusual and very fine collection of fish, about fifty specimens in all. He advised that this fine collection should be properly displayed and recommended appropriation of $1, 000.00 to Account 1320 to pay the cost to do whatever is necessary to exhibit the collection. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the sum of $1, 000.00 was authorized appropriated to Account 1320 to pay for the cost, these funds to be taken from the unappropriated surplus of the University. N. Purchase of House and Lot. Mr. Peterson reported the house and lot at 183 Montmullin Street was available for sale. This is a 1 -story frame house situated on a lot with 40 feet frontage and 100 feet deep. It was appraised at $1,600. 00. Mr. Peter- son stated that he thought the house and lot were worth the appraised price and recommended purchase from Haggin funds. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Vice President was authorized to purchase the house and lot at 183 Montmullin Street and to pay for same from Haggin funds. 0. Request of Group Insurance Committee, President Dick'ey stated that he was in receipt of a communication from the Chairman of the Employees Group Insurance Committee m.taking inquiry concerning the legality of whether or not the University could, if it so desired, enter into contract for major medical expenses for employees of the University. He asked for legal advice and guidance for the Committee. It was the general consensus that the University could not participate in paying premiums for major medical expenses. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the President was requested so to notify the Chairman of the Employees Group Insurance Commit- tee. P. Appointments and Other Staff Changes. President Dickey submitted staff appointments, reappointinents, salary adjustments, leaves of absence, resignations, promotions and other staff changes requested by deans and. heads of departments. 9 COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Appointments P.
