           I. Change-of-Work Assignment for Dean D. V. Terrell.

           President Dickey submitted the following letter from Dean D. V. Ter-
rell:


     March
     Fourth
     19 5 7


     Dr. Frank G. Dickey
     President
     University of Kentucky

     My dear Doctor Dickey;

           This is in reply to your letter of February 7, in which you ask
     me to outline a proposed change-of-work program for myself.

           It is my desire to render service to the University of Kentucky
     and the State in keeping with the regulations of the State and the Uni-
     versity.  The final plan to make use of my service perhaps can best
     be made after the appointment of my successor.  The fact is, I have
     a number of things in mind and as yet have not reached a final con-
     clusion.

           (1) As you know, one of my accomplishments over the past
              several years has been in the scholarship field.  Our
              Engineering Scholarship program has increased from
              one award worth $250. 00 in 1947 to 104 awards worth
              some $45, 000. 00 in 1956-57.  The management of the
              program requires considerable time and from a public
              relations standpoint is very important.

          (2) I am much interested in the work of our Engineering
             Experiment Station as it relates to our industrial devel-
             opment, the conservation of our natural resources and
             the establishment of more co-operative programs between
             the College of Engineering and Kentucky Industries.  We
             should go forward with a well organized program in coal
             research.

          (3) Since my coming to the University in 1912, I have been
             connected with the good road movement, first in the or-
             ganization of the Department of Highways, then the Inter-
             County Seat and State Aid Law and at present I serve as
             Director of Highway Research.  We claim for the College




 






                                                                                5



              of Engineering the best relationship with our Highway De-
              partment to be found anywhere in the nation. I hope to
              continue some service in the Highway field.

           (4) We have available in our files a good deal of material con-
              cerning the development of Engineering Education in Ken-
              tucky, first as a department, then as schools, later as
              three colleges and finally into one college of engineering.
              We have some 4000 alumni and a strong institution.  I
              have in mind a history covering all of the major events
              concerning the College of Engineering.

           (5) Perhaps the most influential man in the development of
              Engineering in Kentucky was F. Paul Anderson. He
              made a real contribution to the engineering profession,
              to the University and to Kentucky. I have been thinking
              I might put the story of his life in book form.

           (6) At present I am serving on a number of committees in-
              cluding: Athletics, Kentucky Research Foundation,
              Campus Planning and others. I will be glad to continue
              this service.

           For one on change-of-work status to be of much service and ac-
      complish anything worthwhile he must have some aid such as clerical
      and stenographic assistance and I hope that such can be provided in my
      case.

           I have given you the picture as I see it. Perhaps we could
     proceed with a part of the program soon after July 1st and then amend
     as we go along in the years to come.

           With kindest regards and best wishes, I am

                                          Yours very truly,

                           (Signed)       D. V. Terrell
                                                   Dean




     President Dickey recommended that Dean D. V. Terrell work with the
Engineering Experiment Station, continue his services in the highway field on a
consultation basis, and continue his membership on such committees as Athletics
Association, Kentucky Research Foundation and Campus Planning until normal
changes may occur.



     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation of the
President was concurred in.

           J. Change-of-Work Assignment for Professor J. S. Horine.

           President Dickey reported that the Board had previously taken action

1957, and that he wished to recommend the following work assignment for Pro-
fessor Horine:

           1. Make study of typical course outlines for Mechanical
              Drawing as presently given in Kentucky high schools.
              Would involve visits to a few typical high schools in
              Kentucky. After the study, an evaluation of the
              courses to be made and possibly a suggested course
              presented, particularly one adapted to those students
              who plan to study Engineering.

           2. Revise and enlarge present Campus Map currently
              used in the University catalog.

           3. Continuation of services, such as posters, drawings
              for bulletins, lettering certificates, and services to
              students and their organizations, particularly within
              the College of Engineering.

           4. Would be willing to keep a regular office (short hours)
               schedule and be available for consultation with parents,
               prospective or regular students.







           President Dickey recommended that change-of-work be approved
and the assignment made.

           Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, Professor J. S.
Horine, effective July 1, 1957, was given the work assignment as recommended.



           E. Change of Work Assignment for Mrs. Sarah B. Holmes, Dean of
Women.

           President Dickey reported that Mrs. Sarah B. Holmes had reached
70 years of age and had been at the University of Kentucky continuously since
September 1, 1929, a period of 28 years.  He recommended that she be given
change-of-work status in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Board
of Trustees, and that her work assignment be as follows:

           1. Write a history of the Office of the Dean of Women
              from the time of Frances Jewell McVey to the present.
              It would be necessary for me to use the files in the

              Office of the Dean of Women for background materials,
              evaluate them, discard useless material and file all
              other records in the appropriate office,

            2. Act as a personal counselor under both the Dean of Men
               and Dean of Women to the married students in residence,
               especially those residing in Cooperstovwn.

            3. Make a study of special categories of women students
               as to their future success as predicted by their col.-
               lege record under the following headings:

                      1. Phi Beta Kappas
                      2. Beauty Queens
                      3. Members of Mortar Board
                      4. Sullivan Award Winners

           4. Act as an official sponsor of leadership groups such as
               Mortar Board, Cwens, Links and Alpha Lambda Delta;
               train the faculty sponsors in their specific duties and
               work out together programs and objectives with the
               groups to achieve more worthwhile programs.

           5. Retain her place on the new residence hall committee
               until Hoimes Hall is completed and furnished; continue
               working with the sororities until the sorority houses
               are completed and furnished.

           6. Coordinate social life of housemothers as requested.


           Mrs. Holmes, change-of-work pay, based upon 28 years of service,
will be $2,839.68 per annum, effective August 1, 1957.

           President Dickey recommended that the change-of-work assignment
and salary be approved.

           Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the change-of-work
assignment listed above and the annual salary, effective August 1, 1957, of
$2,839.68 were approved.



           L. Increase of Fees in Residence Halls.

           President Dickey explained that the Dean of Men, Dean of Women and
the Vice President, Business Administration, had joined in recommending that
fees in residence halls be increased for the following reasons:

           1. Increased cost of living



Ame rica.



2. Fees currently are cheaper than in corresponding schools in




 




8



           3. Establishment of a bond reserve necessary to meet current obli-
gations on dormitories.

           4. Salary adjustments of personnel involved.

           5. Provision of a more adequate counselling service.

           President Dickey recommended that the room rentals in the Men' s
Residence Halls be increased $10. 00 per semester per student per room, and
that room and board fees for students living in the Women' s Residence Halls
be increased from $255. 00 per semester per student to $270. 00 per semester
per student.  The room and board fee carries three meals a day for those
living in the Women' s Residence Halls, except Keeneland Hall.  These students
shall be entitled to breakfast and evening meals, with the understanding that
they pay for their own luncheon and take same wherever they please.  Room and
board fee for those living in the Dillard House shall be increased from $225. 00
to $235. 00 per semester per student. This differential is believed justified
because students living in Dillard House are on a cooperative basis and do their
own housework.

           Members of the Committee discussed the recommendation, and upon
motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation of the President
was concurred in and the fees were increased accordingly.



           M. Increased Student Union Membership Fee.

           President Dickey explained that, when the Student Union building was
constructed, a membership fee of $2. 00 per semester and $1. 00 per summer
term was approved by the Board of Trustees,  He stated that it was necessary
to increase membership fee of the Student Union in order to have funds necessary
to operate.  He recommended that the fee be increased $1.00 per semester per
student, full-time equivalent, and $. 50 per summer term,

           Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Student Union
fee was increased from $2. 00 to $3. 00 per semester per student and from $1. 00
to $1. 50 per student for the summer term, the increase to be added to the regis-
tration and incidental fees.



           N. Increase in Tuition Fee for the Training School of the College of
Education.

           Dean Lyman V. Ginger met with the Committee to discuss problems
of the College of Education,  From the discussion came a recommendation that
the elementary and high school fees of the Training School be increased from
$30. 00 to $40. 00 per semester for the elementary grades and from $40. 00 to
$50. 00 per semester for the high school grades.

           Members of the Executive Committee discussed the increase, and
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the tuition fee for elementary




 








grades in the University Training School was fixed at $40. 00 per semester per
pupil, and the tuition fee for the high school grades was fixed at $50. 00 per
semester per pupil.



           0. Outside Work for Mills, McDaniel and Elton Approved.

           President Dickey submitted a request from Dr. Robert L. Mills,
Dean of Admissions, concurred in by Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain, Vice President,
to engage in some work for the National Education Association; a request from
Dr. Ernest McDaniel, Director of Counselling Service, concurred in by Dr,
Leo M. Chamberlain, Vice President, to serve as consultant in the administra-
tion of the College Board Tests on March 15 and 16; and a request from Dr.
Charles Elton, 'concurred in by Dr. M. M. White, Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, to serve as consultant in counselling psychology for the Veterans
Administration training program in clinical psychology.

           President Dickey recommended that the requests be granted, and
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, Dr. Robert L. Mills, Dr. Ernest
McDaniel and Dr. Charles Elton were authorized to do outside work as re-
quested, with the expressed understanding that the outside work is not to inter-
fere with their regular duties at the University.



           P. Degrees of Candidates for Bachelor of Laws (LL. B.) Approved.

           President Dickey submitted a list of candidates for the degree of
Bachelor of Laws from the College of Law, and stated that the University Faculty
had on February 11, 1957, approved the candidates as having completed the
academic work for the degree on January 26, 1957.  He also stated that he had
contacted each member of the Executive Committee on February 13, 1957,
recommending that the degrees be authorized and approved in order to meet a.
requirement that candidates must be graduates of a law college before they
can be admitted to the bar, after passing the Kentucky State Bar Examination.
Members of the Committee were familiar with the situation, and upon motion
duly made, seconded and carried, the President of the University was authorized
to confer upon each of the following named candidates the degree of Bachelor of

            Q. Petition of Condemnation of Devou Park Land.

            President Dickey reported that the authorities of the University had
prepared and filed petition for condemnation of the Devou Park land, Covington,
Ky. He reported that the petition had been prepared and filed with the approval
of the Attorney General, had been read by W, L. Matthews, Jr. , Acting Dean
of the College of Law, and the University Vice President, Business Administration,
and, as far as they can tell, the petition is well drawn and in good order. The
report was made for the information of the Committee. No action was taken.



            R. Change of Policy Governing Use of Memorial Coliseum.

            President Dickey stated that he, Doctor Chamberlain and Mr. Shively
had discussed the regulation for the use of Memorial Coliseum, and it seemed
to be working a hardship for University groups. He recommended that Section
3, which reads as follows'

           ". . . . For non-admission events there will be no charge to
           such groups other than the actual cost of setting up special
           facilities. If admission is charged, the sponsoring group
           shall pay, in addition, ten per cent (10%) of the gross re-
           ceipts after taxes."

be changed to read:

           " .... For non-admission events there will be no charge to
           such groups other than the actual cost of setting up special
           facilities. If admission is charged, the sponsoring group
           shall pay actual costs or ten per cent (10%) of the gross
