     F. C!'ncelled PWA Buildin- Revenue Bonds Ordered Destroyed.

     President Donovan read the following letter from the Comptroller
concerning PWA Building Revenue Bonds dated January 1, 1936.


                                     February 4, 1946


     President H. L. Donovan
     University of Kentucky

     My dear President Donovan:

          The Board of Trustees approved the refunding of
     PWA Building Revenue bonds dated January 1, 1936.   The
     original bonds were serial bonds and would have matured
     July 1, 1965.   When the refunding was properly approved,
     signed and delivered to the purchasers, I took up the orig-
     inal 3% bonds.   These bonds are numbered from 135 to 634
     inclusive, and are dated July 1, 1945, serially through
     July 1, 1965.   Coupons are attached to all bonds.   Each
     bond has been cancelled.

          I submit a list of the cancelled bonds, showing the
     coupons attached to each, with the request that a record
     be authorized to be made in the minutesby the Executive
     Committee at its next meeting.   Also, I request that I be
     authorized to destroy the cancelled bonds, since they con-
     sume quite a bit of filing space.   If this meets with your
     approval, I shall appreciate its being submitted to the
     Board.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

                                    (Signed) Frank D. Peterson
                                               Comptroller.

     K. Policy Controlling Enrollment in the University of Kentucky.

     President Donovan ptated that it seemed desirable to establish
a policy to govern admission, of students to the University of Ken-
tucky designed to keep the enrollment within the facilities of the
institution.   He read the following statemont of policy:


     Policies Governing Admission of Students to the University
     of Kentucky Designed to Seer the Enrollment wihin the Lim-
     its of the Facilities of the Institution*

     1. The enrollment of non-resident students shall be limited
     to approximately 15 per cent of the estimated total enrollment
     for a particular quarter.   The limitation shall not apply to
     non-resident students who have previously attended the University
     and have maintained satisfactory records, nor shall it apply to
     the children of graduates of the University.   However, all such
     students shall be included in the quota.   In filling the non-
     resident quota, preference will be given to superior students,
     particularly those applying for admission to the Graduate School.
     Graduate students, named as graduate assistants, fellows or
     scholars, shall be admitted provided they meet in all respects
     the institution's admission requirements, and they shall not
     be counted in the quota.

     29 Early in the Spring Quarter all students, irrespective of
     residence, enrolled in the University shall be asked to signi-
     fy their intention of enrolling or not enrolling for the Fall
     Quarter.   The same request will be made of all new students
     enrolled in the first term of the Summer Quarter.    This pro-
     cedure should enable the institution to estimate with a fair
     degree of accuracy the number of enrolled students thrat will
     continue in the Fall,

3. Publicity on a statewide basis will urts_ all. pplicants,
both new students and those expecting to re-enter, to notify
the Registrar of their intentions and to complete their appli-
cations at the earliest date possible.   It will be suggested
that applicaltions received after August 1 can probably riot
be apprcved.  It will be emphasized that all former students
not in att-ndance in the Spring Quarter or in the first term
of the Summer Quarter, who plan to re-enter the University,
must give the institution notice of this intention in writing.

4. A continuing record will be maintained which will show the
number of students, old and new, to whom commitments have
been made.   At the Same time an effort will be made to as-
certain the capacity of the institution in terms of housing
or in terms of any other factor that may indicate a need
for limiting the enrollment.

5. 'When it is agreed that commitments have been made to the
maximum number of students that the University can adoommo-
daate, all future applicants, including former students seeking
to re-enter, will be informed that their admission cannot be
given approval beyond assignment to a waiting list.  Should
additional facilities become available, applicants will be
accopted from the waiting list in order of application.  Pub-
licity will again be '.en the situation, with stress on the
fact that no student will be permitted to register for the
Fall Quarter unless he qaalifies in one of the following ways:

     a. A student enrolled in the Spring Quarter or the
     Summer Quarter who has signified in writing, not
     later than Aumlnust 1, his intention to enroll in the
     Fall.

     b. A former student, not in the above category, who
     has signified in writing that he intends to re-enter
     and has had his application approved.

     c. A new,- student whose application has been received
     and approved.

6. Beyond the limitations outlined for non-resident students,
the policy will be to accept qualified students in order of
application.   It is understood, however, that if students are
assigned from a waiting list, former students will be given
first consideration, and freshman applicants will be given
preference over those seeking admission on transfer from another
institutions

7. If housing is the only limiting factor when the waiting
list is established, local and comnmutinr students who live
in their own or parentsl homes, may be admitted on application
and approval of credentials.

          The Committee discussed the policy recommendation at length
     fiand took the following action:



             9. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried,
                the above statement of policy governing ad-
                mission of students to the University of
                Kentucky designed to keep the enrollment within
                the facilities of the institution is approved,
                and the ,above stated policy is ordered to be-
                come cff'ctive on iW1.rch 21, 1946.



     L. Policy ConcorninL Request of Ex-service Man to Erect House
on University Proporty.

     President Donovan reported a letter reccived. from the Comptrol-
lcr setting forth rcquest ol' an ex-service man to be assigned Uni-
versity ground upon which a pro-fabricated house may be erected.
He reoad the followisng communication:


                                           February 8, 1946

     President H. L. Donovan
     University of Kentuc-y

     My dear President Donovan:

          Mar. Raymond Boggs, Jr., Blaine, Lawrence County, Ken-
     tucky, dcsires to enter the University of Kentucky in Sep-
     tember to work toward degrees of A.B. and LL.B. He re-
     quests of the University a lot on which he can place a
     personally constructed pro-l'abricated house 161 x 20*. lie
     desires that the lot be accessible to water and sewer mains.
     He proposes to pay all costs and monthly operating bills.
     At the end of the period, presuftbly when he has obtained
     his degrees, in lieu of paying the University for the use
     of the land on which the house will have been placed, he
     desires to permit the University to retain the house without
     cost to the University.

          I have explained to It',. Boggs the difficulty of .his
     request; that it does not mean one lot for his house, but
     that it means establishing a policy of what the University
     proposes to do for riarried veterans who may make similar re-
     quests.

          The Comptroller desires a statement of policy for his
     guidance in dealing with this and future requests.
                                         Respectfully subtitted.,
                                       (Signed) Frank D. Peterson
                                                Comptrollor.

     Thoe members of the Executive Committee discussed the question
at length and took the following actioni



             10. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried,
                 the request of Mr. Raymond Boggs, Jr., Blaine,
                 Lawrence County, Ky., is denied on the basis
                 that the University does not have available
                 suitable building lots adequate to care for
                 this request and all similar requests that ma-y
                 be submitted to the University.




     M. Report on Aeronautical Research Laboratory.

     President Donovan read the followiw- communicatioi received from
Frank D. Peterson, Comptroller of the University, and Professor A.J.
Wcyer, Director of the Aeronautical Research Laboratory.


                                           February 13, 1946


     President H. L. Donovan
     University of Kentucky

     My dear President Donovan:

          I attach hereto a letter received from Prof. A. J.
     M-eoyer, Director of the Aeronautical Research Laboratory,
     which lettor is self-explanatory.   I also attach hereto
     ta copy of the financial report of the records of the Aero-
     nautical Research Labora.tory as of December 31, 1945.
     This report shows the result of thie operations of the Lab-
     oratory for t3tle six months ended January 1, 1946.


                                            Very truly yours,

                                          (Signed) Frank D. Peterson
                                                   Comptroller

                                 Fcbruary 11, 1946


University of Kontucky
Loxington 29, Kontucky

Attn. Irir. Frank D. Petorson, Comptroller.

     The business transacted by the Aeronautical Riesearch Labora-
tory thus far has been almost exclusively with Pratt & WThitney
Aircraft and the Army Air Forces.   At this time still a sub-
stantial amount of work is scheduled for P & W ($4500.00 per
:o,), but the Army business is tapering off.   The MF is still
planning a considerable amount of research and development but
the process of obtaining contracts, which always was complicated
and slow has become even more so.

     Although Army contracts have not been unprofitable the de-
lays caused by their complicated procedure have usually result-
ed in losses which offset any profits ri-ade.  Therefore and in
view of the fact that delays are steadily becoming w!orse it
appears that we must either look for oth)r business or curtail
our ,.activities.

     During the first 15 months of operation by the University
the laboratory has shown a small profit after mak~ing Inadequate
reszerrves for depreciation and after allowing 3% for administra-
tive overhead.   The following 3 months howover have showan a
loss so that on January 1, 1946 no profit or loss romained for
the puriod of 18 months.   Eow.;ver reserves for depreciation
mado during this period amount to 612600.00.

     At this time the staff of the laboratory includes a total
of 18 men, 12 of whom have special training and may be classed
as bighly skilled in their professions and trades.  Te men are
needed to take care of the P & W program wJhile 3 are needed
for bookkeepir, Janitor and night watchman.    This leaves a
crew of 5 mechanics for cmergencies on P & W. maintenance and
othe:r work.  If these men are gainfully employed the laboratory
can do a little better thaLn break even.  I' they are laid off
WC will be short in emergencies, the overhead becomes too
he.avy and there will not be enough loft to tike care of the de-
preciation we have thus fr.r been able to rillow for.  Also in
case additional business develops it will be necessary to
break in new men which is always expensive.

     Under these circumstances it appears desirable that a de-
termined effort be made to secure work from other sources.  In
my opinion it should be possible to obtain substantial contracts
for research and development work from private industry if a
salesman could be sent on the road to make direct contact with
prospective customers.

     '!e have in mind eneraing for this purpose Cnpt.  . Jo
Eschborn, who has bean and still is head of the En ine Unit




 






16



of the Equipment Laboratory at Wright Field.  He is a grad-
uate of our Engineering College,  has unusual ability, a :-ood
person.lit'y and a wide circle of friends and acquaintances
in the industry.   H. ..has no sales experience but has supoer-
vised for the P-overnment very imany new developments tall
over the U. S. He also knows what manufacturers are weak on
engine ering.

     Capt. Eschborn is scheduled to leave the Army on April
1st, 1946, but he believes that he can obtain an earlier
release if he so desires.   He has several of fers for employ-
ment in the industry and I know at least of ono made to him
by Continentral Notors at a salary of $6000.00 in an oxecutive
position,   However he would prefer starting a small business
of his own.

     I have disuussed our problem with him and found him in-
terested provided we can offer the following terms:

     1. A fixed salary of 4250,00 per month.

     2. A 5,% commission on the grToss v.ailue of any contract ho
brings in to be paid out of the -proceeds.

     3. In case a contract brout'a in by him will be repeated
or extended for the same type of work as it was originally
made for, the commission will be 1$.   If however a new con-
tract is obtained for different wzork even though it mighat be
for the same manufacturer the commission will be 55.

     4. The commission will be paid for any contract he brings
in wIhetheror not he is still employed by the University. This
will not apply to repeated contracts obtained after the employ-
ment is discontinued.

     5. The employment will be for a period of 3 months a-fter
which time oithor party can terminate the ertployment, with
the understanding tha:t the commission willbe paid on any con-
tract that may ranterialize as the result of his efforts after
such termination.

     We submit the above proposal for your cohsideration and
recommend that the appointmont will 'b approved under the terms
outlined aRbove.
