B. Murray, Secretary, Dr. R. W. Bushart, Mr. Wendell P. Butler, Dr. Harry Denham, Mr. Sam Ezelle, Mr. Richard E. Cooper, Mr. William Black, Mr. Robert Hillenmeyer, Mr. Clifford Smith, Mr. Floyd Wright, and Dr. Stephen Diachun and Professor Paul Oberst, non- voting faculty members. Governor Edward Breathitt, Mr. Smith Broadbent, Mr. W. F. Foster, and Dr. Harry Sparks were absent. In addition to the Board members present were the following members of the administration: Dr. John W. Oswald, Dr. A. D. Albright, Dr. William R. Willard, Mr. Robert F. Kerley, and Mr. Robert L. Johnson. Mr. Carson Porter, President of the Student Government Association, and representatives of the various news media attended. A. Meeting Opened Vice Chairman Angelucci, who presided in the absence of the chairman, called the meeting to order and requested the secretary to call the roll. Following a report by the secretary that a quorum was present, Dr. Angelucci declared the meeting officially open for the conduct of business at 1:35 p.m. B. Student Government President Welcomed Dr. Angelucci introduced Mr. Carson Porter, President of the Student Government Association, and welcomed him to the meeting. He extended an invitation for Mr. Porter, or a representative of the Student Government Associ- ation, to attend all meetings and expressed the hope that he would feel free to comment at any time on student reaction to matters under discussion. C. President's Report to the Trustees Copies of the President's Report to the Trustees were available to all members of the Board and representatives of the press. Dr. Oswald went over the items contained in the report, commenting briefly on each one. He completed his report by indicating that copies would be distributed to members of the faculty and certain key alumni after acceptance by the Board. Dr. Angelucci having first determined that there were no additions to be made to the report, accepted it on behalf of the Board and ordered it filed. 2 D. Recommendations of the President (PR 2) President Oswald commented that, as usual, PR 2 contained recommen- dations relative to important but routine matters requiring Board action and recommended that the report be approved as a whole. He did call particular at- tention to the gift reported from Mr. James S. Hiudnall, a member of the recently appointed Development Council. Dr. Angelucci asked if any member wished to question any item in the report and then called for a motion for approval. The motion was made, seconded, and passed unanimously that PR 2, Recommendations of the President, be ap- proved as a whole and made an official part of the Minutes of the September 20, 1966 meeting. (See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes. ) E. Supplemental Recommendations of the President President Oswald explained that PR 3, Supplemental Recommendations of the President, ordinarily contained routine matters which were received in his office too late for inclusion in PR 2. Since it is important that members of the Board be familiar with all such items prior to taking action, every effort has been made to get all such materials in in sufficient time to be included in PR 2. He said he was happy to report that there were no supplemental recommendations to present at this meeting. F. Resolution Accepting Land for Community College in Maysville (PR 4a) In May 1966, the Board approved a proposed site of approximately 75 acres, known as the Wood Property, in Maysville for the community college to be located there. Since that date, the Licking Valley College Development Corpo- ration purchased the site and transmitted the deed to the University of Kentucky on August 9, 1966. The Resolution recommended for adoption by the Board, a copy of which is given as part of PR 4a, provides for formal acceptance of the property by the Board and expresses its appreciation for the conveyance. President Oswald commented that the Licking Valley College Development Corporation had raised the sum of $230, 000 and deserved commendation for the interest and support which they had developed among the citizens of the area. Dr. Angelucci asked Dr. Denham to personally convey the thanks of the Board of Trustees to the Corporation for their success in raising this sum of money and for the support which they have given and will give to the new college. On motion by Dr. Denham, seconded by Mr. Butler, and unanimously ap- proved, the resolution was adopted and a copy ordered transmitted to the Licking Valley College Development Corporation. (See PR 4a at the end of the Minutes. ) 9 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3 G. Activation of Hazard Community College (PR 4b) In May 1966, the Board of Trustees decided to locate a communitycollege in Perry County in the area of Hazard. Since that time an active search has been conducted by officials in Perry County and officials of the University to identify the best possible site. These officials have narrowed the search to a specific area known as the Black Gold Mining Camp. A map showing the area is a part of PR 4b. President Oswald indicated that it was appropriate at this time for the Board to designate the Black Gold Mining Camp area as the location of the community college and to authorize him to determine the specific site after negotiations with the Hazard Independent College Foundation and to cause the appointment of an architect when the specific site has been determined. He added that the afore- mentioned authorizations would be contingent upon certain conditions to be fulfilled by the Hazard Independent College Foundation which were set forth in PR 4b as part of the recommended action to be taken. On motion duly made, seconded, and carried unanimously the recommen- dation set forth in PR 4b was approved and ordered made an official part of the Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 4b at the end of the Minutes. ) H. Resolution Relative to Surplus Federal Property at Maysville (PR 5) Dr. Oswald explained that the Federal government has abandoned the site of Lock and Dam No. 33 and it is possible that the University may be interested in the property for housing and recreation areas in connection with the community college. Dr. Denham said that it was a beautiful site with five houses already built on it; however, the property is run down and would need considerable repairs. The University is presently studying the feasibility of utilizing the proper- ty and the Board was requested to approve the Resolution authorizing the President to file the necessary applications to secure the transfer of the property from the Federal government should the studies being made show that advantageous use might be made of the property. On motion by Mr. Smith, seconded, and passed the Resolution was adopted and ordered made a matter of record. (See PR 5 at the end of the Minutes. I. Organization of Office of Business Affairs (PR 6) President Oswald said that with the growth of the University the business affairs of the institution were becoming increasingly complex. For some time Mr. Kerley has been studying the whole area and he was asked to present his recom- mendations relative to an organizational pattern which would most effectively fulfill the obligations and responsibilities which fall within the province of the Office of Business Affairs. 4 Mr. Kerley opened his remarks by saying that the three mnain functions of the Office of Business Affairs were (1) finance, (2) operations, and (3) physical development. In order to carry out these functions most efficiently he wished to recommend (1) approval of the organizational pattern presented in the charts in- cluded as a part of PR 6; '2) establishment of the position of business manager with Mr. G. J. Ruschell appointed to the position; (3) naming of Mr. R. E. Shaver as Director, Physical Development Division, while at the same time retaining his position as Director, Engineering and Construction Management; and (4) redesig- nating Mr. Larry Coleman as Director, Planning and Design Division. Mr. Kerley introduced Mr. Ruschell, who was present at the meeting. He said that Mr. Ruschell, a native of Newport, Kentucky, was a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University with an M. A. in Business Administration from the University of Kentucky. He has been associated with the University of Kentucky's business af- fairs since 1943 and has done an outstanding job in every responsibility which has been assigned to him. Mr. Kerley expressed his pleasure in Mr. Ruschell's willingness to assume added responsibilities and his confidence in his ability to carry out these responsibilities. On motion by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Wright, and passed unanimous- ly, the recommendations relative to the organization of the Office of Business Affairs as presented in PR 6 were approved and PR 6 was ordered made an official part of the Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 6 at the end of the Minutes. ) J. Organizational Changes in the College of Dentistry (PR 7) Dr. Oswald called attention to PR 7 which recommended that the Depart- ments of Operative Dentistry and Fixed Prosthodontics be replaced by a new department to be known as the Department of Restorative Dentistry with the facul- ties of the former departments becoming members of the faculty of the new department. Dr. Gordon Christensen was recommended as Chairman of the new department and Dr. Harry Lundeen was recommended as director of a conjoint discipline of Occlusion in the new department. Dr. Willard commented briefly on the reasons for the change and joined Dr. Oswald in recommending approval. On motion by Mr. Hillenmeyer, seconded by Mr. Butler, and passed, the recommendations in PR 7 were approved and ordered made a matter of record. (See PR 7 at the end of the Minutes. ) K. Department of Physical Education Transferred from College of Arts and Sciences to the College of Education (PR 8) Dr. Albright said that in further implementation of recommendations 5 contained in the Academic Plan, the transfer of the Department of Physical Edu- cation from the College of Arts and Sciences to the College of Education was proposed. It is felt that the emphasis in the physical education program should be more on professional preparation, particularly at the graduate level, and less on service; therefore, it is appropriate that the Department of Physical Education become a part of the College of Education. Dr. Angelucci questioned what would become of the physical fitness program as a result of the transfer and change in emphasis. Dr. Albright replied that there would continue to be a service program but that it would become a train- ing area for persons majoring in physical education and thereby the need for a large staff to handle service courses would be eliminated. In addition, plans are being made to develop a stronger program in intramural sports which would come under the supervision of the Office of Student Affairs. On motion duly made, seconded, and carried the recommendation to transfer the Department of Physical Education from the College of Arts and Sciences to the College of Education was approved effective October 1, 1966. (See PR 8 at the end of the Minutes. ) L. School of Biological Sciences Named Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences (PR 9) Dr. Oswald reviewed briefly the development of the School of Biological Sciences and said that it seemed particularly fitting during the year which marked the centennial celebration of the birth of Thomas Hunt Morgan, one of the Uni- versity's most distinguished graduates, that he be honored by having the new school named for him. He, therefore, recommended that henceforth the school be known as the Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences. On motion by Mr. Hillenmeyer, seconded by Dr. Denham, and passed unanimously the School of Biological Sciences was officially designated as the Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences. (See PR 9 at the end of the Minutes. ) M. School of Letters and Languages Established (PR 10) As a further step in the implementation of the Academic Plan, Dr. Oswald said he wished to recommend the establishment of a fourth school within the College of Arts and Sciences--the School of Letters and Languages with Dr. John B. Keller named Director of the School and Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, effective July 1, 1967 (Dr. Keller's appointment as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Spanish and Italian Languages and Literatures was 6 a part of PR 2). Dr. Oswald added that plans were being developed to recommend two additional schools, one a School of Physical Sciences and the other a School of Behavioral Sciences. When these two schools are established, the reorganization of the College of Arts and Sciences will be complete. On motion by Mr. Black, seconded by Mr. Wright, and approved the School of Letters and Languages was established, effective July 1, 1967, and Dr. John B. Keller was named Director of the School and Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. (See PR 10 at the end of the Minutes. ) N. Gift Solicitation Priorities Established and Investment Counsel for University Referred to Finance Committee (PR 11 and PR 12) Dr. Oswald suggested that PR 11 and PR 12 be considered together since both were an outgrowth of Board action taken in April 1966 appointing the Universi- ty of Kentucky Development Council. He asked Mr. Leonard Wilson, Director of Development, to discuss the recommendations to be made. Mr. Wilson said that in order to provide excellence of program which goes beyond the absolute necessities of higher education, funds must be obtained from unrestricted gifts, endowments, and gifts for specific purposes. He said that 94 per cent of such gifts comne from individual donors and, in order to determine the best means of interesting individuals in making gifts to the institution the Develop- ment Council was established. This Council met in late May and suggested the following steps be taken: (1) provide means to recognize appropriately major donors of $10, 000 or more; (2) provide prospective donors with assurances that funds will be cared for and invested properly and spent as directed by the donor; and (3) develop understandings of University programs and needs sufficient to make these potential donors interested and willing to invest in these programs. He ex- plained that PR 11, which established priorities in gift solicitation, would make it possible to seek funds to provide programs of excellence and that PR 12, which recommended the employment of the Chase Manhattan Bank as investment counsel, would assure prospective donors of the University's desire to take the best possi- ble care of the monies given. Mr. Smith made a motion that PR 11 be accepted as presented but that PR 12 be referred to the Finance Committee for study and a report back to the Board at the next meeting. His motion was seconded and passed. (See PR 11 and PR 12 at the end of the Minutes. ) 0. Dr. Tom Whayne Appointed Acting Dean, College of Medicine Dr. Oswald said one item not on the agenda which he wished to mention was the recent appointment of Dr. Tom Whayne as Acting Dean of the College of 7 Medicine. In January 1966 the Board of Trustees separated the position of Vice President-Medical Center and Dean of the College of Medicine into two positions. A search committee was appointed immediately and has been actively seeking a person to become Dean of the College of Medicine. Since the committee is not yet ready to present a recommendation, it has been deemed advisable to appoint Dr. Whayne as Acting Dean until a Dean can be named. The Board accepted Dr. Oswald's report and expressed confidence in Dr. Whayne's ability to handle the affairs of the College of Medicine in a highly satis- factory manner. P. Interim Report on Hospital Audit Mr. Kerley reminded the Board that at the April meeting of the Board instructions were given to employ an outside firm to make a management audit of the University Hospital. The firm of Haskins and Sells was employed and is currently making such a study. The firm is conducting it in three phases (1) fact finding, (2) evaluation, and (3) recommending implementation of the .findings. Mr. Henshaw, a member of the firm, was present to answer questions. Mr. Smith expressed satisfaction that the audit was underway and re- quested that copies of the report be submitted to the Special Committee on the Hospital and copies should also be mailed to the entire membership of the Board of Trustees. Q. Progress Report on Classroom-Office Building Mr. Ernst Johnson and Mr. Byron Romanowitz of the firm, Brock, Johnson, and Romanowitz, unveiled a model of the new classroom-office building complex. Mr. Romanowitz explained that the two-structure complex would be of reinforced concrete, tinted to match limestone in existing buildings, red brick, bronze solar glass, and bronze anodized aluminum. The two buildings will have a common basement and will be connected by a covered walkway at the first floor level. The handmade bricks from White Hall will be used to pave the mall in front of the complex. The classroom building will be three stories and the office building will be nineteen stories. The classroom building, designed to house most non- laboratory and non-studio classes in the College of Arts and Sciences, will be equipped to receive and transmit television and to use motion pictures and other visual aids for classroom instruction. The third floor will house a complex language laboratory, the second floor, flexible classrooms, and the first floor will have six large lecture rooms, all accessible from the outside. The office tower will have six seminar rooms on the first floor, office space on the next sixteen 8 floors, a conference center and faculty lounge on the eighteenth floor, and me- chanical equipment on the nineteenth floor. The tower will rise 238 feet and will measure 99 x 139 feet; the classroom building will rise 46. 5 feet and will measure 234 x 172 feet. The classroom building will provide 3,300 student stations while the office tower will provide space for 650 to 700 persons. Mr. Johnson indicated that his firm would need approximately four more weeks to complete the plans. It would then require approximately two weeks to a month for the plans to be reviewed before they would be ready for bidding. Actual construction would require from 20 to 24 months and the construction cost would be approximately $9, 990, 000. Mr. Kerley added that equipment, fees, and other costs would add an additional $3, 000, 000, making the total cost of the complex in the neighborhood of $13, 000, 000. Dr. Angelucci thanked the architects for the presentation and asked Mr. Carson Porter, President of the Student Government Association, if he wished to make any comment. Mr. Porter said this was a most progressive step beIng taken by the Board of Trustees and the administration and it was hailed by the students. Mr. Smith said he felt it would be appropriate for the Trustees to go on record as expressing gratification at the progress being made and to urge the com- pletion of the plans at as early a date as possible so that construction might begin soon. The other members of the Board concurred. R. Meeting Adjourned Dr. Angelucci, having first determined there was no further business to come before the meeting, entertained a motion for adjournment which was made, seconded and carried. The meeting adjourned at 3:12 p. m. Respectfully submitted, H. B. Murray, Secretary Board of T rustees (PR 2, PR 4a, PR 4b, PR 5, PR 6, PR 7, PR 8, PR 9, PR 10, PR 11, and PR 12 which follow are all official parts of the Minutes of the September 20, 1966 meeting of the Board of Trustees) PRESIDENT'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES September 20, 1966 1. ALL-UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT NEARS 21,000 The University's total fall semester enrollment--including the Lexington campus, the community colleges, the evening class and extension programs--stands at 20,800.

The party arrived here earlier, enroute to Kentucky Dam Village State Park, site of the annual Southern Governors9 Conference, and were the dinner guests at Spindletop Hall of President and Mrs. Oswald, 4. SYMPOSIUM ON GENETICS DRAWS 150 SCIENTISTS More than 150 leading biologists, physiologists and geneticists are re- turning to their homes throughout the United States and Europe after attending the University's Thomas Hunt Morgan Symposium, a three-day conference on genetics, which ended last night, The event honored the Nobel Prize winner who was a native Lexingtonian and a UK graduate, Among the symposium participants were Dr, George Beadle, president of the University of Chicago, who shared the 1958 Nobel Pirize for medicine and physiology, and Dr, A. H. Sturtevant, who has held the Thomas H. Morgan chair in biology at California Institute of Technology since 1947, Representing the University on the symposium program were Dr. Herbert P. Riley, Dr. Fred J. Bollum, Dr. Richard S. Schweet and President John W. Oswald, Support for the symposium came from the Office of Naval Research and the National Institutes of Health, 5, 17 STATIONS CARRY CONSTITUTION BRDADCASTS Seventeen Kentucky radio stations have scheduled a series of educational programs produced by the University Broadcasting Service and concerning the pro- posed revision of the Kentucky state constitution, The series of eight 30-miinute programs attempts to pinpoint government changes that will result if voters approve the revised constitution at the polls on November 8. Panelists whose views are expressed in the taped programs include members of the Constitution Revision Assembly, government officials, and private citizens, The moderator of each program is Prof. J. E. Reeves of the Department of Political Science. The series was produced under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, assistant professor of radio, television and films, - 3 6. ALUMNUS ACCEPTS NEW STATE DEPARTMENT POST A University alumnus, Mr. James Wine, has been named a special assistant to Secretary of State Dean Rusk. He will be special assistant for refugee and migration affairs, which is a new post. Mr. Wine was graduated from the University in 1940 and received a degree from the College of Law two years later.

The award represents a renewal grant to continue the program which has been in effect for about three years. The nursing traineeship program enables those who have completed requirements for licensure as registered nurses to complete additional educational requirements for the bachelor of science degree in nursing. 8. UNIVERSITY IS HOST FOR NATIONAL CONFERENCE A national agricultural group will hold its annual meeting at the University this fall, The meeting, that of the National Agricultural Plastic Conference, is scheduled for October 31 through November 2 at the Agricultural Science Center auditorium. Scientists and industry representatives from throughout the United States will attend, Arrangements for the meeting are under the direction of Dr. D. J. Cotter of the Department of Horticulture. 9. IRANIAN MAGAZINE PLANS ARTICLE ABOUT UK The University will be featured prominently in an early issue of the magazine, New Frontier, which is published in Iran by the United States Information Service. The magazine's entire issue, according to the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, will be devoted to "Kentucky, Its People, and Its Valuable Contribution to America," An Embassy spokesman said the recent visit to Iran of the UK basketball team and coaching staff has created great interest among Iranians for more information about Kentucky and the University. 10. WILD TOBACCO SPECIES MAY CONTROL HOR1,W4ORM1 If the tobacco hornworm problem is to be whipped in Kentucky by plant breeding, then wild tobacco species offer a promise of hope. Several of these wild tobaccos are deadly to the hornworm, says Dr, Richard Thurston, Agricultural Experiment Station entomologist, f!owcvier, a troublesome question that remains to be answered is whether this resistance factor can be transferred to standard burley varieties without loss in the latter of desirable characteristics such as aualitY, yield and flavor. In crosses a;,t mptcd so far. the resistance Factor has been lost- Tobacco hornworms raised on the wild species died quickly, Dr. Thurston reports. Even when full-grown hornworms were transferred from other plants to the wild species, the worms died quickly. Since the common petunia ornamental is kin to tobacco, horn- worms were tried on petunias. The worms died quickly there, too, leading investigators to believe the resistance factor in wild tobaccos may have come from a common ancestor of tobacco and petunias, Until plant breeders and entomologists whip the problem of transferring resistance Jron wild tobaccos to domestic varieties, farmers must continue to rely on insecticides- l. CENTENNIAL THEATER CLOSES SUCCESSFUL SEASON The University's Centennial Theater recently completed a most successful second season. And, according to Louisville Times drama critic9 Dudley Saunders, the season provided "further proof that the college campus is an excellent and logical home for resident professional theaters.'" "Such companies," Mr. Saunders continued, "benefit from the use of a college's theater and equipment, The student body and townspeople benefit from the presence of professional productions," "Centennial's lineup of plays was easily the best in Kentucky and its productions were superior to anything I saw elsewhere in the state this summer," the Times critic wrote. "With Centennial. UK joins the small but growing ranks of colleges and universities, such as Indiana,. Syracuse and Michigan9 that house resident professional theaters." Centennial Theater was founded in 1965 as part of the Centennial observance, During the season Just closed, attendance figures nearly doubled although 18 fewer performances were presented. The director, Prof. Charles Dickens of the Department of Theater Arts, and Department Chairman Wallace Briggs are looking ahead to another season next summer. - 5 - 12, FOUR RECENT GRADUATES ARE WILSON FELLOWS Four members of the University's 1966 graduating class are enrolling at other institutions this fall as Woodrow Wilson Fellows. They are Jon W. Anderson, studying anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania; Nancy L. Coleman, Scandinavian literature and languages at the University of Wisconsin; Cordon G. Landes, English at the University of Kansas, and Leland E. Rogers, mathematics at the University of California at Riversice, Another Woodrow Wilson Fellow, Mrs, Lynne Tilford Ellinwood, who completed her undergraduate work at the University of Chicago, has enrolled at UK for graduate study. 13, RESEARCHERS PROBE EFFECTS OF PESTICIDES Field mice are playing a major role in a research project now under way at the University. The research team, under the direction of Dr. Mark M. Luckens of the College of Pharmacy, is investigating the effects of pesticides upon native mice, as opposed to the laboratory-bred variety, Information gleaned in the study could lead to better understanding of the effects of such chemicals on man. The three-year study is being supported in the amount of $62,450 by the National Institutes of Health. In its initial phase, the project will compare the poisoning potential of selected pesticides in two species cf wild mice and in laboratory mice. Since most of the present information
