    Minutes of the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees
of the University of Kentucky, February 20, 1953.


    The Executive Committee of the University of Kentucky-met at Maxwell. Place
at 10:30 a. m. , Friday, February 20, 1953.  The following members were present:
Guy A. Huguelet, Chairman; Harper Gatton, J. C. Everett, Robert P Hobson,
and H. D, Palmore. President H. L. Donovan, Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain, and Sec.
Frank D. Peterson met with the Committee.


    A. Minutes Approved.

    On motion duly made, seconded and. carried, the minutes of the Executive
Committee of November 7, 1952, were approved as published.


   B. Report of the Comptroller.

   The Comptroller made the usual financial report covering the University fund
transactions for the period of seven months beginning July 1, 1952, and ending
January 31, 1953.  The statements of unrealized income and realized income
for the various divisions were furnished.. The estimated income for the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station will probably be unrealized to the extent of $ 75, 000
to $ 90, 000. This unrealized balance is due to the Fertilizer department of
the Experiment Station absorbing credits of the approximate amount mentioned
from fertilizer tags sold prior to June 30, 1952, and the discontinuance of sell-
ing tags after July 1. The regulatory provision of the statute affecting fertiliz-
er inspection was changed, effective July 1. Charges per ton of fertilizer
inspected in the bin were not changed. This situation should right itself after
credits for tags on hand by vendors are absorbed.

   The financial report also included balance sheet and operating statements
for divisions mentioned.

   Members of the Committee being satisfied with the report, on motion duly
made, seconded and carried, sanie was authorized received and filed.


   C. Budget Changes.

   President Donovan submitted a list of budget changes amounting to a net
increase of $ 3, 942. 81, as evidenced by a letter dated January 19, 1953, and an
increase of $ 7, 324, 25, as evidenced by letter dated February 6, 1953. It was
explained that these increases have been administratively approved and were
necessary.  President Donovan recommended that the increases be authorized
by the Executive Committee.

   Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the increases were approved,
and the Comptroller was authorized to make the necessary budget adjustments.

    D. Travel Allowance for Doctor Tapp.

    President Donovan reported that Dr. Hambleton  app was continuing to travel
on behalf of the University, and recommended appropriation from the Haggin Fund
of $ 2, 500 for travel expenses for the current fiscal year.

    Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the sum of $ 2, 500 was ap-
propriated from the Haggin Fund, and the Comptroller was authorized to make
the necessary budget adjustment.


    E. Investment of Funds Authorized.

    President Donovan read the following letter from Comptroller Frank D. Peter-
son:

                                                     February 16, 1953

    Dr. H. L. Donovan, President
    University of Kentucky

    My dear President Donovan:

       Colonel Owen R. Meredith and wife, Mrs. Marion Willard Meredith,
    established the Owen R. Meredith Endowment Fund, the proceeds from
    investment to be used to foster ideals of good citizenship, character,
    and scholarship, award to be made to a senior, exemplifying these qual-
    ities by vote of the Chemistry Department staff. I hold $ 300. 00 of the
    principal not invested. I request authorization and direction for invest-
    ment of this fund.

       The Comptroller holds Waddy Endowment Scholarship Fund. The
   proceeds from investment are to be used for scholarships for girl students,
   selection to be made by the Dean of Women. The fund amounts to
   $ 2, 161. 76. Of this amount $ 161. 76 is uninvested. Please authorize and
   direct what investment should be made, if any.

       By action of the University Board of Trustees, the Louisville College
   of Pharmacy was taken over. In addition to receiving the physical
   property, we received securities in cash, amounting to approximately
   $ 55, 000. 00. This sum has increased to about $ 78, 000. 00, of which
   $ 6,473. 53 is now uninvested. I recommend that this money be authorized
   invested and seek direction of the Executive Committee.

       Former Dean Alvin Evans of the College of Law received a gift from
   a gentleman by the name of A. Kocourek, securities which currently are
   worth approximately $ 6,347. 05. Some of these securities have matured
   and cashed.  There is at the present time a cash balance of $ 1, 724. 25.
   I recommend that these funds be invested and request authorization and
   direction of the Executive Committee.


                                                Respectfully submitted,

                                 (Signed)      Frank D. Peterson
                                                Comptroller




 










    President Donovan recommended that the request be granted, and the funds
authorized invested; whereupon, on motion duly made, seconded and carried,
the funds were authorized invested, and the Comptroller was directed to select
the type of investment.



    F. Purchase of 110 Colfax Street Property.

    The Comptroller explained that he had purchased at public auction the house
and lot at 110 Colfax Street, Lexington, for a price of $ 2, 920. 00. He stated that
the property was located to the rear of one of the service stations on South Lime-
stone Street in front of the University. The house consists of three small rooms
on a lot 20' x 100'.

    The Comptroller stated that he was willing to keep the property as a personal
purchase, or turn it over to the University at the public auction price. He further
recommended that property in this neighborhood be purchased if and when it be-
comes available for free and voluntary sale.

    There was a brief discussion by members of the Board.  Upon motion duly
made, seconded and carried, the property at 110 Colfax Street, Lexington, was
authorized purchased for the price of $ 2,920. 00, same to be paid for from Hag-
gin funds, and the rental collected on this property be used to reimburse the
Haggin Fund for the purchase price.



    G. Purchases Made by the Comptroller Authorized.

    President Donovan read a letter from the Comptroller listing purchases
made by the Comptroller from October 1, 1952, through December 31, 1952.


                                                January 2, 1953

    J. Report on Condition of Kastle Hall.

    President Donovan read a letter from the Comptroller detailing the need for
restoration of this building:


                                                      December 23, 1952

    Dr. H. L. Donovan, President
    University of Kentucky

    My dear President Donovan:

       During the past year we have had a good many calls from Kastle
    Hall to make repairs and replacements necessary in order to keep the
    plumbing, electric, ventilation, and other parts of the building operat-
    ing. Since a large part of this building is used for laboratories, one
    might expect the plumbing in the building to wear out.  The electric
    equipment in this building is wearing out along with the plumbing and
    laboratory facilities.  We may be able to operate the building the re-
    mainder of the year, and we may be able to operate it another full
    year; but, after twenty-seven years of fairly heavy use, these facili-
    ties have worn out.  The lab oratory floors are worn and the hood
    system in the laboratories is deteriorating.  The lab tables are in
    very bad condition.
       I think it wise that I acquaint you with the possibility that we may
   have a major alteration job in Kastle Hall at any time.  We have estimat-
   ed the cost of replacing these various worn-out facilities as follows:

                   Plumbing               $ 88, 000.00
                   Electric Service
                      and Lighting            6, 000. 00
                   Hood System              20, 000. 00
                   Laboratory Floors      10, 500. 00
                   New Lab Tables           50, 000. 00
                   Repairs to Lab Tables
                      and Shelving            33, 000 00
                          Total          $177, 50.00




 











        I am passing this information along for you to use it in any way you think
    best.

                                         Respectfully submitted,

                               (Signed) Frank D. Peterson
                                         Comptroller.


    Members of the Committee discussed the report, and upon motion duly made,
seconded and carried, same was ordered received and put to record.



    K. Report on Stokers in Central Heating Plant.

    Mr. Peterson read a letter which he had received from Mr. E. B. Farris,
Chief Engineer, concerning needed repairs to stokers in the Central Heating Plant.


                                                     January
                                                     Twenty Nine
                                                     1 9 5 3

    Mr. Frank D. Peterson, Comptroller
    University of Kentucky
    Administration Building

    Dear Mr. Peterson:

       For the past two or three years it has been increasingly obvious to
    us that replacement of the stokers on our two Bros Boilers is indicated.
    While we have no concern of getting through the present heating season,
    I think it would be well to give consideration to the replacement of these
    stokers this summer.

       We find that the Detroit stokers installed on our new boilers are much
   to be preferred to the Hoffman Firite stokers installed at the time the
   original Heating Plant was built in 1936. These stokers have seen seven-
   teen years of hard service and at present are obsolete to the extent that
   we are having difficulty in obtaining replacement parts and the maintenance
   on the stokers is so great that they are no longer economical to operate
   from a maintenance standpoint.

       In order to have these stokers ready for any heating season it would
   be necessary to let a contract the preceding Spring.

       We believe that we can purchase these stokers and install them with
   our own labor with a factory Superintendent to direct the installation.
   It would also be necessary to let a contract for the remodeling of the brick
   work to accommodate the new stokers. We can save a great deal of money
   by doing the larger amount of the labor with our own forces, our labor costs
   running approximately $ 1. 50 per hour against a contractor' s cost of ap-
   proximately $ 4. 00 per hour as follows:

        2 new stokers, with factory supervision of installation . $ 21, 000
        Remodeling brick work to accommodate new stokers        7, 000
        Miscellaneous .......................................... 1, 500

        I believe that the Division of Maintenance and Operations could absorb
    the labor of the installation of the stokers without an increase in our budget,
    provided the work was performed during the summer season.

        I am furnishing you this information at this time in order that it may be
    considered in the preparation of the budget.  I realize that you may wish
    to present this to the State Building Commission or that you may wish to
    set up funds for this work in the coming budget in our account fund 1480 or
    1680.

        Plans and specifications can be prepared in this office; therefore there
    will be no question of hiring a consulting engineer for this purpose.

                                                      Very truly yours,

                                            (Signed)  E. B. Farris
                                                      Chief Engineer.


    The problem was discussed, and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried,
the report was received and ordered put to record.



    L. House at 6a4 South Limestone Street Authorized Removed.

    President Donovan reported that the house on the corner of Limestone Street
and Graham Avenue had been razed.  There is now another house at 624 South
Limestone Street, unoccupied, which should be removed at this time.  He stated
that the campus development plan provided for clearance of this area, and recom-
mended that authorization be given to dispose of this house.

    Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Comptroller was authorized
to cause the house to be removed from the University campus.



    M. Advancement of Funds for Publication of "Southern Travel Series' Author-
ized.


    President Donovan read a letter from the Comptroller explaining contractual
arrangements between J. W. Carnahan, president of Lyons and Carnahan, educational
publishers, Chicago, Illinois, and the University.




 










January 27, 1953



    Dr. H. L. Donovan, President
    University of Kentucky

    My dear President Donovan.

        The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees at its meeting
    on November 7, 1952, approved a memorandum contract between J. W.
    Carnahan, President of Lyons and Carnahan educational publisher,
    Chicago, Illinois and the University.  The agreement provides that Lyons
    and(_lrnahan will pay to the University of Kentucky the sum of $ 12, 000. 00
    over a period of four years beginning 1952 in return for certain editorial
    services to be rendered by the University to the Lyons and Carnahan
    Publishing Company.  Dr. Thomas D. Clark was assigned to do the
    editorial work on behalf of the University.

        It was understood at the time the contract was entered into that the
    proceeds received from services rendered would be used to partially
    pay the cost of publishing the Southern Travel Series, which is an in-
    valuable reference study.

        The first annual payment of $ 3, 000. 00 was received by the University
    on October 29, 1952.  The 1953 payment will be due on or before October
    1953 and a like sum for each of the next two years.  The Southern Travel
    Series will be printed by the University of Oklahoma Press; and, in all
    probability we will be asked to make a commitment for this publication
    to the extent of $12, 000. 00 some time during the current year.  Payment
    would be made upon completion of the work which probably would not be
    due until some time in 1954,  Dr. Clark would like to have some assurance
    that the sum of $ 12, 000, 00 may be obligated prior to the receipt of the
    1955 installment from Lyons and Carnahan.  The contract we have with
    Lyons and Carnahan in my judgment is valid and enforceable; we have a
    right to rely upon the contract; and I see no reason why we could not
    with the approval of the Executive Committee and the President of the
    University make a commitment to the University of Oklahoma Press to
    defray publication costs of these publications.  If you agree with this
    recommendation, I believe it should be brought to the attention of the
    Executive Committee,

                                                Respectfully submitted,

                                (Signed)       Frank D, Peterson
                                               Comptroller


    The Comptroller explained that he saw no reason why the request should not
be granted, but desired Board approval before making an obligation incurring
funds which have not yet been received.

    President Donovan recommended that the request be granted and the funds
authorized,  Whereupon, on motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Comptrol-
ler was directed to make whatever commitments were necessary to complete the
publication of the Southern Travel Series by the University of Oklahoma Press.

    N. University of Kentucky Extension Service Policy.

    Doctor Chamberlain read a letter which he had v ritten to President Donovan
relative to establishing a policy relating to withdrawals from the University Exten-
sion classes and refund of fees.

                                                  January
                                                  Twenty-two
                                                  1 9 5 3


    President H. L. Donovan
    University of Kentucky

    Dear President Donovan.

        For a long time we have observed the same policy in Extension
    classes as in residence classes with respect to the refunding of fees
    to students finding it necessary to withdraw.  This policy has worked
    reasonably well in Extension until recently, but it is now giving us some
    difficulty, particularly with respect to the classes we are operating for
    military personnel at Fort Knox. An army order may withdraw a
    large number of students from a class at any time.  We try, of course,
    to operate our Extension program so that the over-all income will
    cover the cost of instruction and travel.

        After discussing this matter with Mr. Clifton, Director of University
    Extension, and Dr. Tuthill, University Registrar, I am recommending
    that the following regulation respecting refunds of fees to students with-
    drawing from Extension courses be as follows:

                        "Students who, after registering for a course,
                    give notice of withdrawal before or at the begin-
                    ning of the second official meeting of the class,
                    may have their fee refunded.  After the beginning
                    of the second meeting of the class no refunds will
                    be made. "

        This is not to include classes operated at the Northern Extension
    Center at Covington.  We prefer to handle refunds at the Center just as
    we handle them on the Lexington campus.


                                                  Sincerely,

                                                  Leo M. Chamberlain
                                                  Vice President

    President Donovan discussed the recommendation, and upon motion duly made,
seconded and carried, the following regulation was approved.




 





11



                       "Students who, after registering for a course,
                    give notice of withdrawal before or at the beginning
                    of the second official meeting o. the class, may have
                    their fee refunded. After the beginning of the
                    second meeting of the class no refunds will be made. "



    0. Form for Requesting Use of Farm Service Building Approved.

    President Donovan stated that the arena of the Farm Service Building was
very useful in many ways.  Many organizations request the use of the arena sec-
tion, and the University and Experiment Station desire to grant permission for
use of the arena section in many events. He stated that it was desirable to
establish some conditions under which this particular part of the building would be
made available to on and off-campus groups.  He submitted an application form
which had been approved by Dean Welch and himself, and recommended that same
be authorized.

    Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the application form for the
use of the arena section of the Farm Service Building, including the conditions
under which same is to be used, was approved.



    P. Professor W. A. Heinz To Do Off-Campus Teaching.

    President Donovan submitted a request approved by Dean White for Associate
Professor W. A. Heinz to teach a course in public health in the Nazareth School
of Nursing during the second semester.  Dr. J. S. Chambers stated that the
work would not interfere with Professor Heinz, s duties at the University. Presi-
dent Donovan recommended that the request be granted, with the expressed under-
standing that no future commitments of this nature should be made, as such work
should be handled by the Department of University Extension.

    Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, Professor W. A. Heinz
was given permission to teach a course in public health in the Nazareth School of
Nursing, for the second semester of the current school year, in accordance with
the recommendation of President Donovan.



    Q. Applicatio     ace Heating Gas Service.

    The Comptroller explained that it would be necessary to heat the small dormi-
tories (fraternity houses) with gas. Each building would contain its own gas
furnace.  It was explained that the Public Servic6 Commission had granted to the
Central Kentucky Natural Gas Company authority to restrict and limit sale of
natural gas. It was further explained that the Central Kentucky Natural Gas
Company had the authority, under the order, to accept and approve applications
for residential, domestic or commercial jobs, not to exceed the quota.  It also
explained that each building would require 379,900 B. T. U. ' s per hour and that
this intake was within the order of the Public Service Commission, and should

be filed at this time for services beginning in February, 1954, in order to get
preference rating on applications received by the company.

    Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Comptroller was directed
to make the necessary application for space heating gas service in six dormitories
to be constructed and used as fraternity houses.



    R. Report on Dormitory and Request of John F. Wilson.

    President Donovan stated the revised plans and specifications for the new menl? s
dormitory were not yet finished by the architect, John F. Wilson.  He read the
following letters from Mr. Peterson and Mr. Wilson:


                                                 January 26, 1953

    Dr. H. L. Donovan, President
    University of Kentucky

    My dear President Donovan:

       On the morning of January 23 Mr. John F. Wilson, architect; Mr.
    White, structural engineer; and another gentleman whose name I do not
    know, brought to my office the attached letter which details difficulties
    encountered in the redesign of MenT s Residence Hall, Rose Street, and
    request an addition to the existing contract of approximately $ 7, 500. 00,
    as explained in the letter.

       I advised Mr. Wilson that the letter would be read to the Executive
   Committee of the Board of Trustees at its next meeting and submitted for
   their consideration.

                                                Respectfully submitted,

                                 (Signed)       Frank D. Peterson
                                                Comptroller

   Lexington, Kentucky

   Dear Mr. Peterson:

A week or two ago we had occasion to discuss our problem with the Com-
mittee of the Building Commission, composed of Mr. Rieman, Mr. Barnes,
and Mr. Judy, explaining the difficulties we have encountered on the above
referenced project.

At the time of making our last estimate to you of the man hours required,
we underestimated the number of man hours which would be required by our
sub-contractors, i. e., structural and the three mechanical trades (they
were not then engaged). It has developed that the time required with which
to execute this work will be increased from 4, 000 to approximately 6, 000
hours.

On the structural work, for instance, our structural engineer has gone into
an entirely different structural design, eliminating all floor beams and all
capitol type columns, which will result in a saving to you from some $ 65, 000. 00
to $ 85, 000. 00.  This you are entitled to if it can be made available.  However,
all of these things are adding up to more time than we had anticipated, and
the 2, 000 hours additional that we are requesting is at the rate of $ 3. 75 per
hour, (or an addition of about $ 7, 500, 00) whereas we are paying from $ 3. 00
to $ 5. 00 per hour, not including any overhead.

Therefore, our request in relation to the entire building cost is relatively
minor, However, we do need this additional time in order to ease up the
working condition with the structural and mechanical engineers since I have
been attempting to hold them to their original estimated man hours and to
which they wil not agree.

With this increase, your architectural design will not cost more than approx-
imately 1. 8% whereas the standard fee for new design under the Building
Commission schedule is 2, 40/a

I suspect we should never have hada.lirnita4tii of hours in the beginning,
and the Building Committee so agrees.

Mr. Judy of the State Building Commission told me voluntarily this morning
that he was going to call you by telephone and recommend that you give us
the relief requested, particularly so that we can extend more time to our
structural and mechanical engineers with which to complete their portion of
the work.  The entire Committee above referred to believes that our re-
quest should be granted,

The deviations we are making and hope to be able to make in the design,
including structural and mechanical changes, will be reflected in the lower
building cost, and, certainly, the doing over of anything should always result
in much improvement.  Our desire is to give you the very best possible.

It is to be noted that the contract states that, '?The Architect shall prepare
such drawings as may be needed to supplement the working drawings to
complete the project .......    e   etc."  It develops that instead of preparing
such drawings needed to supplement any present drawings, we are compelled
to re-do the entire project from beginning to end.  This, of course, could
not be foreseen in the beginning,  After all, a few more hours made available
to us could well save several times their cost.

    President Donovan requested the Comptroller to review briefly the negotiations
with Mr. Wilson concerning the re-design of the men, s residence hall.  Mr. Peter-
son stated that, on January 18, 1952, a report was made to the Executive Committee
that the Regional Office of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, at Chicago, had
declined to approve the application for the men' s dormitory.  Mr. J. B. Rieman,
