President Oswald, Vice Presidents Albright, Willard, Kerley, Creech, and Johnson, and Provost Cochran represented the ad- ministration and members of the various news media were present. A. Meeting Opened Mr. Robert Hillenmeyer presided in the absence of Dr. Angelucci and ap- pointed Dr. Harry Denham as acting secretary. The meeting was called to order and, following a report by the acting secretary that a quorum was present, Mr. Hillenmeyer declared the meeting officially open for the conduct of business at 1:35 o'clock. B. Minutes Approved On motion, seconded, and so ordered the reading of the Minutes of the May 2, 1967 meeting of the Board of Trustees was dispensed with and the Minutes were approved as published. C. President's Report to the Trustees Copies of the President's Report were before those present and Dr. Oswald called particular attention to the summer enrollment figure of 5, 400, including the community colleges; the establishment of an Office of Development Services to aid small businesses; the financial statement of the University of Kentucky Research Foundation which showed the receipt of over $2, 000, 000 in awards for the period from May 24 through July 10, 1967; and the summer orientation program for new students and their parents. Mr. Hillenmeyer reported that President Oswald had been awarded an honor- ary degree by the University of California at Davis on June 14, 1967. He thenordered the report accepted and filed. 2 D. Recommendations of the President (PR 2) Since the members of the Executive Committee had received copies of PR 2, Recommendations of the President, in advance and since the items contained in it were of a routine nature, President Oswald indicated that he would be glad to answer any questions but had no special comments. Mr. Kerley called attention to page 8 of the Finanicial Statement indicating that the negative balances shown in the report represented grants from University related agencies. Funds to cover this were invested and it was deemed desirable to draw interest for as long a period as possible. The money will be realized before the close of the fiscal year. On motion duly mrade, seconded, and so ordered, PR 2, Recommendations of the President, was approved as a whole and ordered made an official part of the Minutes of the July 21, 1967 meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. (See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes. ) E. Supplemental Recommendations of the President (PR 3) Mr. Hillenmeyer suggested the members take a few moments to review the items in PR 3. He then called on Dr. Oswald for his comments. Dr. Oswald said he wished to call attention to item VI which recommended the appointment of Dr. Robert W. Rudd as Chairman of the Department of Agricultural Economics, effective August 1, 1967, and of Dr. J. William Hollingsworth as Chairman of the Department of Medicine, effective July 1, 1968. He explained that Dr. Aubrev Brown had been reappointed as Chairman of the Department of Agricultur- al Economics in July 1965 for another term that would normally continue until 1971; however, Dr. Brown recently recommended that a replacement be identified and appointed. The members of the faculty of the Department of Agricultural Economics as well as the administrators of the College of Agriculture strongly endorse the ap- pointment of Dr. Rudd as Dr. Brown's successor. Dr. Rudd has demonstrated outstanding administrative ability while serving as acting dean of the College of Com- merce during 1964-65 and Dr. Oswald concurred wholeheartedly in the recommendation that he be named Chairman of the Department of Agricultural Economics for a six year term. Dr. Willard was asked to comment on Dr. Hollingsworth's appointment. He indicated that a search committee had been seeking a replacement for Dr. Pellegrino since his resignation in August 1966. Many candidates were screened and it was the consensus of the screening committee, the Faculty Council of the College of Medicine, and the administrative staff of the University that Dr. J. William Hollingsworth, presently with the School of Medicine of Yale University, was the best possible se- lection. Dr. Willard explained that Yale University had granted Dr, Hollingsworth a sabbatical leave during the academic year 1967-68 prior to the time the University I - 3 of Kentucky had discussed with him the possibility of coming to this institution. Dr. Hollingsworth felt that he was so committed to the year's leave at Oxford University that his consideration of the University position was dependent upon his being allowed to go through with it without financial obligation to the University of Kentucky. Dr. Willard indicated his pleasure in endorsing the recommendation of the Faculty Council of the College of Medicine. Dr. Oswald said he concurred in all Dr. Willard had said about Dr. Hollingsworth and added that he wished to make a verbal recommendation of an ap- pointment which had come to him just prior to the meeting--that Dr. E. M. Trew be named Assistant Director of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service and Associate Extension Professor with tenure at a salary above the $15, 000 level. The members of the Executive Committee asked President Oswald to confer to Dr. Aubrey Brown an expression of their appreciation for his contributions as Chairman of the Department of Agricultural Economics and also as a non-voting member of the Board of Trustees. On motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Dr. Denham, and so ordered PR 3, Supplemental Recommendations of the President, with the addition of the appointment of Dr. E. M. Trew as recommended by Dr. Oswald, was approved as a whole and ordered made a part of the Minutes of the July 21, 1967 meeting of the Executive Committee. (See PR 3 at the end of the Minutes. F. Preliminary Development Plan, Jefferson Community College, Approved in Principle (PR 4) Copies of the Preliminary Development Plan for the Jefferson Community College had been mailed to members of the Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees prior to the meeting. Mr. Kerley indicated that the plan had been pre- sented to the Board ot Trustees of the University of Louisville, the City-County Planning Commission of Louisville, the Urban Renewal Committee. and the Advisory Board of the Jefferson Community College and had received approval from all these groups. The plan provides for a projected enrollment of 6, 000 students and for a total square footage of 650, 000 to 700, 000. On motion by Dr. Denham, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, and so ordered ap- proval 'inprincipled' was given to the Jefferson Community College Preliminary Development Plan with the understanding that the plan will be periodically revised as the program requirements of the College become more fully expressed. (See PR 4 at the end of the Minutes. ) G. 1967-68 Budget Revisions Authorized (PR 5) Dr. Albright commented that the revisions as outlined in PR 5 were necessi- tated because either the budgets for the programs had not been received at the time 4 the original 1967-68 budget was submitted in April or a change in program has been subsequently indicated. On motion duly made, seconded and carried the 1967-68 budget revisions as recommended in PR 5 were authorized and approved. (See PR 5 at the end of the Minutes. ) H. Resolution Relating to the Community College at Hazard (PR 6) Dr. Oswald recognized Mr. William Sturgill, President of the Hazard Inde- pendent College Foundation, Mr. M. K. Eblen, President of the Hazard Coal Company, Mr. Lewis A. Hopper, Executive Director of the Hazard Independent College Foundation, and members of the news media from the Hazard area who were present at the meeting. In a review of prior actions of the Board of Trustees relating to the establish- ment of the Hazard Community College, the President noted that on May 3, 1966 the Board took action "to locate its tenth community college in Perry County in the vicinity of Hazard. " On September 20, 1966, the Board took the following actions: (1) designated the area generally known as the Black Gold Mining Camp as the lo- cation of the college; (2) authorized the President to determine the specific site in the Black Gold Mining Camp area; and (3) authorized the President to cause the appointment of an architect and the development of plans and specifications for the new facility when the site was definitely determined. On January 20, 1967 the Board of Trustees in approving the University's long-range capital program for the com- munity colleges approved $1, 200, 000, less federal grants available for that purpose, for the Hazard Community College. These actions were all contingent upon the fulfillment of certain conditions by the Hazard Independent College Foundation. The University has now determined that the initial site should be comprised of approximately 70 acres--50 acres from the Black Gold Mining Camp area and 20 acres from the property known as the Evans site; it has appointed the firm of McLoney and Tune, Architects; and it has indicated the need for the acquisition of property presently leased to the Hazard Golf Club for the long-range development of the college. On July 31, 1967 a $464, 794 grant proposal will be submitted to help finance the cost of the college. The Hazard Foundation for its part has raised $134, 264; has purchased 16. 13 acres of land comprising a major portion of the "Evans site" and has conveyed the deed to the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the use and benefit of the University of Kentucky; has made a similar conveyance of 53. 18 acres comprising the "Black Gold site", a gift of the Hazard Coal Corporation; and has provided assurances that the other conditions such as housing, utilities, capping of gas wells, etc. will be fulfilled. In spite of the progress made to date, the Hazard Independent College Foundation ., has not been able to acquire a small parcel of land, without which the initial phase cannot be started. Because of problems in site, as a possible solution, Dr. Oswald said he had received two letters--one from the Hazard Board of Education indicating the availability of the Lower Broadway School Building for a temporary facility for the college and the other from Mr. Sturgill advising that the Hazard Independent College Foundation would do the necessary repair work, under the direction of the University, at the Foundation's expense, to make the Lower Broadway School Building ready and usable in keeping with University standards by the fall of 1968. With this background, Dr. Oswald recommended the adoption of the Resolution set forth as PR 6, a copy of which was before each member and which is included at' the end of the Minutes. The adoption of the Resolution would permit the University to take the necessary steps to acquire the needed land and to expedite the opening of the college in temporary quarters by September 1968 provided suitable facilities can be made available by the community. On motion by Dr. Denham, seconded by Mr. Broadbent, and so ordered the Resolution of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky Relating to the Community College at Hazard, Kentucky, was adopted and a copy of the Resolution ordered made a part of the official record of the meeting of July 21, 1967. (See PR 6 at the end of the Minutes. ) Following adoption of the Resolution, Mr. Sturgill expressed appreciation to the Board and to Dr. Oswald for "getting us on the road again". He regretted that obstacles have been encountered which delay the beginning 'of the initial phase but was pleased that things were as far along as they are and said that the possibility of an opening in temporary quarters in the fall of 1968 was encouraging. I. University Officials Authorized to Prepare Offer to Purchase Maine Chance Farm President Oswald said that the next item of business was a recommendation that the appropriate University officials be authorized and directed to take the neces- sary actions, in conjunction with The University of Kentucky Research Foundation, to cause the development of an offer for the purchase of Maine Chance Farm. As background, Dr. Oswald explained that the Maine Chance Farm was being offered for sale by the executors of the Elizabeth Arden Graham estate at an asking price of $2, 500, 000 for the approximately 720 acres located in Fayette County, Kentucky. The property known as Maine Chance Farm, is bounded on three sides by the Spindletop and Coldstream farms owned by the University of Kentucky. The purchase of the farm would be in the best interests of the University for the following reasons: 1. It would permit expansion of present programs of the University and the development of new programs. 6 2. It would provide needed land for agricultural use, agricultural research, including an Equine Research Center. 3. It would protect the present investment and programs of the University of Kentucky and the University of Kentucky Research Foundation in Coldstream Farm and Spindletop Farm. Dr. Oswald emphasized that it would be implicit that no state tax funds would be used to back up any offer that the University or the Foundation might make and no funds would be used which would interfere with on-going operation and capital programs of the University. After some discussion, Mr. Smith Broadbent made this motion, "That the appropriate officials of the University be authorized and directed to take the necessary actions, in conjunction with the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, to cause. the development of an offer for the purchase by the said Foundation and/or the UniverEity of certain property located in Fayette County, Kentucky, and known as Maine Chance Farm--the offer to be based upon appraisals at fair market value. It is understood no state tax funds will be used for the purchase nor will the purchase interfere with on-going operation and capital programs. " Mr. Broadbent's motion was seconded by Dr. Denham and, with the tacit approval of the members of the Board of Trustees present, it was so ordered by Mr. Hillenmeyer. J. Mr. Henry Besuden Welcomed to the Board of Trustees Mr. Hillenmeyer recognized the presence of Mr. Henry Besuden who was attending his first meeting since being appointed a member of the Board of Trustees by Governor Breathitt to complete the term of Dr. Hershell Murray. Mr. Besuden thanked Mr. Hillen'meyer and said he looked forward to his term of service on the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees. K. Meeting Adjourned Mr. Hillenmeyer, having first determined there was no further business to come before the meeting, entertained a motion for adjournment. The motion was made, seconded, and so ordered and the meeting officially adjourned at 2:45 o'clock. Respectfully submitted, Harry C. Denham, Acting Secretary Executive Committee, Board of Trustees PR 2, PR 3, PR 4, PR 5, and PR 6 which follow are official parts of the Minutes of the July 21, 1967 meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky.

UNIVERSITY LEASES FARM TO TRAIN PEACE CORPSMEN A group of 31 Peace Corps trainees of the University are living on a farm about 20 miles from Lexington, where they are conducting a poultry project. The corpsmen will be at the farm until tomorrow. The farm is leased by the University from William A. Cleveland at Keene, near the Woodford-Jessamine counties line. Similar in scope and design to a project in poultry devel- opment and applied nutrition they will initiate for the State of Madhya Pradesh, India, it is composed of 23 men and eight women volunteers, plus six Indian nationals. They have been living in a large remodeled tobacco barn on the 213-acre farm. The nationals have served on the training staff. The University has trained about 150 Peace Corps volunteers since June, 1966, and is the fourth group to be trained under the direction of Dr. George H. Gadbois Jr., project director, who has been assisted by about 25 faculty members. Volunteers train for six weeks on the campus and seven weeks in the country to which they are assigned. Most of the volunteers have been sent to India. In the past, groups have been sent to Wayne and Pulaski counties to learn farming first hand, working with local farmers. 4. STUDENT-RELATED GROUPS AID SCHOLARSHIP FUND University students helped their classmates with scholar- ships totaling $62,342 during the last school year, James Ingle, Office of Student Financial Aid administrator, said. In addition to 145 scholarships provided by the money, two campus groups--Student Government and the Little Kentucky Derby--provided funds for 47 loans totaling $4,000. Ingle said funds came from seven organizations, plus profits from campus vending machines, the campus book store, and other student-related sources. Contributing to the scholar- ship fund were Links, Dramatic Arts Fund, Student Center Board, Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, Centennial Class, and a dormitory fund. Selections for scholarships are made by a University committee under Ingle's direction. 5. OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO AID SMALL BUSINESS Small businesses in two areas of the state, through a new agency at the University, can now take advantage of modern management techniques which have been proven in industry. An extension program designed to provide technical assistance to small business in the Big Sandy and East Lake Cumberland areas is being offered through the Office of Development Services of the College of Business and Economics, with the cooperation of the Kentucky Department of Commerce. Dean Charles F. Haywood said H. K. Charlesworth is director of the new program, which has as a major goal the strengthening and training of local management resources. "Lack of sufficient, effective management skill is an impor- tant problem impeding Kentucky's economic growth," Dean Hay- wood said. "There are pressing needs for professional and technical assistance in management counseling and training for foremen and other supervisory people in small and medium-sized manufacturing operations." He said projects to be undertaken will not only have local and immediate impact, but will yield results which will be useful in the further development of the programs of the Kentucky Department of Commerce. Charlesworth said the office will provide professional ad- vice and consultation to small firms that cannot afford such service, "to help them attain their goal of profit and growth." The office will work through the area development specialist and the University area extension director for a specific region. After experience is gained in the Big Sandy and East Lake Cumberland areas, services will be extended to other parts of the state. Any small business firm may ask for technical assistance, with Small Business Administration definitions serving as guidelines, Charlesworth said. The director said a small business firm seeking assist- ance under the program should contact the area resource development specialist of the Cooperative Extension Service in that area. An initial visit to the firm will then be made by a general management consultant who is a staff member of the Office of Development Services. He will work with the owner or manager to determine the major problems confronting the firm, and arrange for such special consultants that are needed to suggest a workable solution to particular problems. The Economic Development Administration has contributed $134,253 to the cost of the program, with the University's contribution bringing the budget to more than $150,000. Dean Haywood said one of the attributes of the UK approach to development would be the bringing of the full resources of the University to bear on the problems of economic development in the state in conjunction with plans of the state Department of Commerce. - 3 - 4 - 6.
