steers of U. S. Good to U.S. Choice feeder grade and weighing between 600
and 650 pounds each, on or about May 1, 1959, and will furnish necessary

                                                                               2



end of the experiment, the cattle will be sold.  The Fischer Packing Com-

         E. Adjustment in University Elementary School Fees.

         Mr. Peterson reported that Dean Lyman V. Ginger, College of
Education, had recommended adjustment in tuition for the Division of
Elementary School. At the present time, the fee is $40. 00 for the elementa-
ry and $50. 00 for the high school for each semester. It was recommended
by Dean Ginger and Doctor Sasman that the tuition for the elementary school
be the same as the fee for high school students. It is their belief that the
students are getting a bargain and far  more than their parents are having
to invest in the education of their children.

         Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the fee in the Ele-
rnentary School of the University Training School was fixed at $50. 00 for each
semester, beginning at the end of the current semester.


        F. International Cooperation Administration Contract Approved.

        Mr. Peterson submitted contract with the International Cooperation
Administration, with reference to continuation of a training program for
Pakistani students in the field of community development. He stated that
the Agreement varies a little from the one we had last year in that the con-
tract provides for a flat stipendf $2, 000 for out-of-pocket costs and general
services rather than a per diem payment.  He stated the amount involved
will be essentially the same and will make detailed accounting unnecessary.

        Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the contract was
approved and authorized executed.


        G. Federal Agency Request to Adjust Housing Rates Approved.

        Mr. Peterson reported that, when we secured a loan from the Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency for the construction of the Shawneetown apart-
ments, we agreed to certain rental rates. At a later date it was necessary
to request an additional $400, 000 to complete the project.  The University
gave a new suggested rental schedule., We had in mind that we could charge
these amounts and still be economically well within the rental rates in this
area.  The Housing and Home Finance Agency now takes the position that
these rates were established and approved and that the reserve is ziot
building up fast enough.  Therefore, they request that the present rates,
which are $69. 00 for efficiency apartment; $79. 00 for one-bedroom apartment;
and $99. 00 for two-bedroom apartment be raised to $73. 00 for efficiency
apartment; $86. 00 for one-bedroom apartment and $100. 00 for two-bedroom
apartment. It was noted that the rates in Cooperstown are less than those
in Shawneetown and that any adjustment in Shawneetown apartments should be




 






3



reflected in the rates for the Cooperstown project, since these apartments
are, because of proximity to the campus, somewhat more desirable than the
Shawneetown apartments.

        A general discussion ensued and, upon motion duly made, seconded
and carried, the rates for efficiency apartments in both projects were au-
thorized increased $4. 00; the rates for one-bedroom units were authorized
increased $7. 00; and the rates for the Shawneetown two-bedroom apartments
were increased $1. 00, all increases effective July 1, 1959.


        H. Legal Counsel for Men' s Dormitory Bond Issue Announced.

        Mr. Peterson reported that Mr. Thomas F. Marshall had been em-
ployed by the Department of Finance as legal counsel for Dormitory Revenue
Bond Issue for Men' s Dormitory No. 6. He stated that the Department of
Finance desired authorization from the Board of Trustees.

         Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Executive Com-
mittee authorized the employment of Mr. Thomas Marshall as legal bond
counsel for $1,800,000 Revenue Bonds for the purpose of drawing all orders
and resolutions for bond indenture and transcript, and all other papers
relative to issuance of said bonds to be executed by the Kentucky Department
of Finance, State Property and Building Commission and Board of Trustees.
The approving opinion of Chapman and Cutler of Chicago is to be furnished.



        I. Appropriation for Small Dormitories Authorized.

        Mr. Peterson requested permission to make application to the Housing
and Home Finance Agency, Bureau of Community Facilities, for the construc-
tion of two small dormitories.  He stated that the Sigma Chi fraternity de-
sired to build on a lot at the corner of Woodland and Hilltop avenues and Alpha
Gamma Rho was negotiating for a lot at the corner of Woodland and Clifton
avenues.  He requested permission to apply for a loan of $150, 000 each or
