                                                            July 19, 1968


   The Honorable Louie B. Nunn
   Chairman, Board of Trustees
   University of Kentucky

   Dear Governor Nunn:

   It is my privilege to submit to you and to the Board of Trustees of the
   University of Kentucky an interim report on behalf of the Presidential
   Search Committee.

   The committee held its first meeting on April 28 and has met over twelve
   times since that date. From suggestions received from faculty, alumni,
   trustees, friends of the University, and educators throughout the country,
   a list of over one hundred names of potential candidates has been compiled.
   From this list approximately 25 top persons have been selected for initial
   contact. Ten indicated that because of present commitments they could not
   be considered, eight have been interviewed or will be within the next few
   days, and the remaining will be approached in the immediate future. The
   committee will continue its efforts to find the best qualified person to serve
   as president of the University and, at the appropriate time, meetings will
   be arranged between the potential candidates and members of the Board of
   Trustees, the Senate Council, the Student Committee on Selection of a
   President, and others.

   In the meantime, the Presidential Search Committee recognizes that in the
   absence of a recommendation for a president, it is necessary that an acting
   president be appointed. The committee feels that no person presently under
   consideration for the presidency should be named acting president since this
   would be unfair not only to the individual so named but to others on the list
   of potential candidates. It is, therefore, the unanimous recommendation of
   the Presidential Search Committee that Dr. Albert D. Kirwan be named
   Acting President until such time as a president may be selected.

                                       Respectfully submitted,




                                       Ralph J. Angelucci, Chairman
                                       Presidential Search Committee

     Dr. Denham made the motion that the report of the Presidential Search Com-
mittee be accepted and that Dr. Albert Dennis Kirwan be named Interim President,
effective August 10, to serve until such time as a President may be selected. His




 






5



motion was seconded by Mr. Black. Prior to calling for a vote Governor Nunn
indicated that he wished to report that Dr. Glenwood L. Creech had spoken to him
prior to the meeting and had indicated to Governor Nunn at that time that he had
never sought the Interim Presidency nor the Presidency and did not wish to be con-
sidered. Governor Nunn continued that inasmuch as his name had been published
in the newspapers as the probable choice for Acting President, he felt it should be
made known publicly what his desires were. He asked that the previous motion be
tabled and moved that the Board of Trustees give a standing vote of thanks to Dr.
Creech for what he has done, is doing, and will do for the University. Dr. Creech
has shown great concern and great dedication and it is appropriate that the Board
of Trustees express its confidence in him as a great individual, as a member of
the faculty and as a citizen of the Commonwealth. The Governor's motion was
seconded and the Board members arose as a body to pay tribute to Dr. Creech.

     Governor Nun then called for a vote on the original motion. Before the vote
was taken, Governor Chandler indicated he would like to add his second to the
motion that Dr. Kirwan be named Interim President. The motion passed unani-
mously and it was so ordered by the Chairman.

     Dr. Kirwan was called in and after being informed of the unanimous approval
of his appointment, made a few brief remarks. He expressed his thanks for the
confidence placed in him and pledged his best efforts to maintain the programs
instituted by President Oswald and to keep the University "on course" during the
interim period.


     M. Resolution Passed on Dr. Oswald

     Governor Nqna-called on Dr. Angleucci who read the following Resolution on
Dr. Oswald:

                               RESOLUTION
                                     ON
                          JOHN WIELAND OSWALD


        The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky notes with
     profound regret that today's meeting marks the final milestone of its
     five-year journey with Jack Oswald.

        As measured by time, Mr. President, our journey has been too
     short. In terms of progress, our mission has been fully accomplished.

        Just under five years ago, you identified our primary objective as
     "making sure that the foundations for a strong university, laid during
     its first century, will be adequately built upon and added to in its second,
     so that an even stronger university develops.




 






6



          The coarse leading to this objective was charted in your inaugural
      address: building and retaining an ever-strong faculty; opening the
      University doors to greater numbers of students through the community
      college system; restructuring the curriculum to more effectively meet
      the needs of a changing society; identifying and accepting expanded roles
      for the University: and recognition of the increased capacity of today's
      students.

          By following this well-defined course, the University has indeed
      made a successful passage from its first to its second century and, in
      so doing, has achieved the transformation from a relatively small state
      university to one that contributes with increasing effect to regional,
      national and international needs. Throughout the course of our journey,
      Mr. President, you have shown us broader horizons, given us a new
      sense of mission, demonstrated clearly that a resolute will and a firm
      purpose can level the most forbidding obstacles. The light by which you
      guided us was bright and unwavering. We shall proceed in its afterglow
      for a yet considerable time.

          And now, as our paths begin to diverge, we bid you a warmly af-
      fectionate farewell and say: "Well done. Godspeed.




      On motion made, duly seconded, and passed, the Resolution was adopted,
ordered filed and appropriate copies were ordered prepared for Dr. Oswald and his
family.

       Dr. Oswald expressed his thanks for the Resolution and further expressed
his pleasure in the action taken in appointing Dr.  wan as Interim President. He
said that the critical times facing education made it imperative that the leadership
of the University be in capable hands and he indicated that he would spend all the
time necessary before his departure on August 10 in briefing Dr. Kirwan on the re-
sponsibilities which he would assume as Interim President. As he had done at the
time of his resignatio n Dr. Oswald thanked the Board of Trustees for its support
and expressed appreciation for the support of the Board members and of the three
Governors under whom he had served. He expressed gratitude for his years at the
University and indicated that his loyalty and devotion to the institution and to the
Commonwealth would continue even though he would be geographically far removed
from it.



       N. Meeting Adjourned

       Governor Nunnm having determined that there was no further business to come
before the meeting, called for a motion for adjournment. The motion being duly

made, seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned at 3:15 p. m.

                                                 Respectfully submitted,




                                                 Sam Ezelle, Secretary

1.    UNIVERSITY ENGINEERS BUILDING PENDLETON BARNS

      A team of farm engineers from the College of Agriculture has
been instructing farmers in the Pendleton County area on how to build
temporary tobacco sheds of plastic-covered scaffolding. At least 150
tobacco barns in the area were destroyed in the April 23 tornado that
killed four persons and devastated a fourth of the county seat town
of Falmouth. University agent Bob Walls said that less than five per
cent of the barns lost to the storm have been re-built. He and the
University team hope to have enough temporary structures ready by the
deadline, only 60 days away, for housing the county's $3.5 million
burley crop.

4.   SOMERSET PROGRAM SENDS FIRST TRAINEE TO VIETNAM

     A training program provided by the University at Somerset
Community College has helped in the organization of makeshift field
hospitals in Vietnam. Such a hospital will be the new home of the
program's first graduate who left last week for that country in
company with five community medicine technicians especially trained
for a type of work in the only program of its kind in existence.

      Two years ago, James A. Schill, 26, was a technician at the
General Dynamics Corp. medical lab in Ft. Worth, Texas, and in
addition, was the emergency room trauma technician at Northwest
Hospital and night chief lab technician..at.Ft Worth Hospital. He
also did pathological lab work for autopsies performed in the area.
He was contacted by a physician acquaintance on the possibility of
going to Vietnam and later heard from Dr. John Clay of the Far East
Health Branch of the U.S. Aid for International Development. Dr.
Clay and Schill agreed that a person planning to do medical tech
work in Vietnam should be trained in community health, community
development, health education, and Preventive medicine. UK was
chosen after an extensive cross-country trip by Schill and Dr. Clay
who visited many of the larger medical centers, and decided the
University could offer the best training for such a venture. In
the fall of 1966, Schill began work under a clerkship in the Depart-
ment of Community Medicine with Dr. Kurt W. Deuschle. The two men
outlined aprogram to train community medical technicians at Somer-
set Community College.

      In August of 1967 five young men and women, hired by the De-
partment of State, arrived at Somerset to begin the special courses
which were not listed in the general catalog, but open only to the
small group. They worked as medical clerks in counties near Somer-
set when they were not. in class. Schill reported that the "know-
ledge we gained is par excellence in the field of medicine," and he
estimates half the group will become physicians when they return
from their two-to-thiree-year stints in Vietnam. All the community
medicine technicians, inc.luding Schill, are unmarried and all have
undergone intensive Vietnamese language training, which Schill says
is "one of the toughest in the world to learn." Schill says when
he returns to the 0.S., he plans to earn a Ph.D. degree in pre-
ventive medicine. While at UK he wrote a 150-page research paper
on the allied health professions. The study not only is designed
for vocational counselors but also for sub-professionals seeking
more information in their own fields. The report has been utilized
by the Department of State and the Medical Center in designing their
own programs, and eventually will be published.

5.   HOUSING PROVIDED FOR ALL WHO APPLY

      When University students converge on Lexington at the end of
August, they will not be homeless if their numbers are within pro-
jected enrollment expectations for the fall semester. Some 4,000
students already have been slated for the residence hall of their
choice with the roommate of their choice, according to the Univer-
sity Housing Office- Those already placed include 2,896 Kentucky
students and 1,148 out-of-state students- "There is no deadline
for accepting housing applications," Mrs- Jean Lindley, director
of University Housing said, "even for students applying after
April 15, They still will have a preference for building and/or
roommate," Entering freshmen will be housed in separate dormi-
tories and are not given a roommate choice -- at least not for the
first semester,

      Incoming freshmen from Kentucky include 744 men and 626
women applying for University housing   Out-of-state freshmen list

6.    LIVESTOCK DAGNOSIL-C CONTRACT iS REINSTATED

      Governor Nunn has announced the reinstatement of a contract
with the University to do the livestock disease diagnostic work

force since 1956, was canceled January 1 as a result of last year's
budget cutback, Agrilculture Commissioner Jr Robert Miller said
the new contract, to run ror a year, involves $].2,500 from the
Governor's contingency tund, and a like amounl from the Agriculture
Department's budget- Mi1ler said he hopes the contract will con-
tinue in rorce until his department's new animal diagnostic
disease laboratory is built- He added that the recently-passed
state budget contains $1 million tox that center, and preliminary
plans for it now ate formulated,



7-    TWO JOURNAL iSM _SUDENTS GET NEWSPAPER SCHOLARSHIPS

ship with The Kentucky Post, The essay was selected by the News-
paper Fund's Intern Prize Competition, Miss Oldfield, who received

8.    DENTISTRY RESEARCHERS SEEKING BETTER FILLING MATERIAL

      Researchers at the College of Dentistry are participating in
the constant search for the ideal dental filling material -- one
which will not only look good, but will last a lifetime. They are
seeking materials "that are stronger, more durable, and more cos-
metically acceptable," a spokesman for the research group said.
"With new filling materials constantly being introduced to the
market, research is necessary to make sure the compounds do not
damage the nerve of the tooth in any way." The grant which sup-
ports the research comes from the National Institute of Dental
Research (United States Public Health Service), celebrating its
20th anniversary this month.



9.   WORLD'S POSTURE QUEEN IS UNIVERSITY STUDENT

against girls from the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada and other foreign
countries. More than good looks were required to gain the title.
Contestants were judged on posture, ability to perform standard
physical fitness tests, beauty, poise and personality. As World
Queen, Miss Jackson received a trophy, cash awards, a scholarship,
and a full year of paid travel throughout the U.S., Canada, and
other countries. When she returns to Lexington later this month,

10.   CORNETT NAMED STATES' COUNCIL - UNIVERSITY LIAISON

      Robert M. Cornett of Frankfort, a former Kentucky budget
director, has been named director of special projects for the
Council of State Governments and will work to develop a relation-
ship between the council and the University in such areas as
administration, governmental research and the political and be-
havioral sciences. A Council of State Governments spokesman said
he hopes the University will establish a new school, or specialist
