duly disturbed, The camp site and the pond area are exempt from the lease and

          Mr. Peterson stated that he had made an investigation, along with

usual rate of 1/8. No wells are to be drilled within less than 300 feet of the
roadway.  The pond area is not to be disturbed or rendered unusable.  The camp
site is not to be encroached upon without further consent of parties to the lease.

          K. Budget Adjustments.

          Mr. Peterson. stated that the 1957 budget carried an appropriation
of $75, 000 for equipment for various buildings and that the amount was almost
exhausted in activating Holmes Hall, Shawneetown Apartment buildings and other
buildings on the campus. He recommended that $25, 000 of the unappropriated
surplus be authorized transferred to Account 1300, Equipment for Various Build-
ing s.

          He also reported that the 1957-58 budget carried an appropriation
for Major Improvements and that this allocation was foun.d to be insufficient
to make the necessary improvements, which included Frazee Hall.  He recom-
mended that the sum of $20, 000 be authorized appropriated from the unappro-
priated surplus of the General University Budget, and placed in Account 1320,
Major Improvements.

          Upon motion duly made. seconded and carried, the budget adjustments
were authorized made, and the amounts appropriated from the unappropriated

was concurred in, and the musical instruments were authorized sold,

City, in the amount of $1, 000, payable to the University of Kentucky, for the land

that, since the check was made payable to the Univerifty and would be used for

          0. Leave of Absence for Dean Frank J. Welch.

          President Dickey reported request from Dean Frank J. Welch for
leave of absence from the University for one year in order that he might take
an interim appointment as director of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the leave
to become effective December 1. Dean Welch requested that he be permitted
to have his family continue to occupy the residence on the Farm and stated that
he would be available for general consultation in matters pertaining to the College
of Agriculture and Home Economics, Agricultural Experiment Station and Agri-
cultural Extension Service. President Dickey expressed the hope that the leave
would be less than one year, but desired to recommend that the request be grant-
ed and that a leave of absence for one year be made of record under the condi-
tions expressed by Dean Welch.

          Members of the Committee discussed the request, and upon motion
duly made, seconded and carried, the leave of absence for one year was granted.
The President was directed to convey to Dean Welch the hope of the Committee
that he return to the University at the earliest date possible; that the Committee
wanted Dean Welch to know that they were quite willing to cooperate on an
interim appointment as director of the Tennessee Valley Authority, but that they
were most anxious that he remain at the University, and they urged him to return
to his permanent post when he was able to do so.

         Q. Fee Schedule for Laboratory Services of the University Health
Service Revised,

         Dr. William R. Willard, Vice President, Medical Center, sub-
mitted a recommendation to revise fees to be charged for laboratory, x-ray and
certain other services provided by the Health Service for the University staff.
He stated that the volume of such work is not great but that the fees should be
sufficient to cover the cost, The schedule of fees charged has not been revised
since 1943, and in view of the increased cost since that time, it would appear
that a revision in the schedule of fees was justified.  Dr. Willard stated that,
in general, the recommended fees fall between the existing schedule and those
charged by hospital laboratories in the community. He further stated that Dr.
Sprague was in accord with the schedule of fees recommended. Dr. Willard
recommended that the Health Service discontinue making electrocardiographic
tracings for faculty and staff members to take to their private physicians for
interpretation, unless the individual physician requests the Health Service to do
so, or in an emergency.

         The schedule of fees was examined, and upon motion duly made,
seconded and carried, the following schedule of fees was approved and made
effective December 1, 19570
