     Dr. H. Lo Donovan, President

     My dear President Donovan-c

          The University, at the present time, holds in the
     current restricted trust funds, an account "Hal Price
     Headley Fund" in the amount of $75,00000   This money,
     at the present time, is invested in U. S. Treasury bonds.
     Because of the request of Mr. Headley, which request has
     your approval, it becomes necessary to liquidate $30,OO.OO
     of these securities.

          I suggest that the authorization be given to trans-
     fer $30,000-00 of-the securities from the Hal Price Head-
     ley fund to "group investment" (restricted trust funds),
     thereby saving brokers' fees and. retaining the current
     investment,,

                                         Respectfully submitted,

                                   (Signed) Frank Do Peterson,
                                            Comptroller.

liquidate some of the securities held in this fund0

     Dr. H0 L. Donovan, President;
     University of Kentucky

     My dear President; Donovan,-

               The Class of 1939 invested class, funds in the
    Lexington Federal Savings and, Loan Association, under
    date of August 10, 1939, in the amount of $248,31.  The
    class left a statement signed by the President, Vice




 










     President, Treasurer and Secretary to the effect that if the
     class failed to appoint a re-union committee within eleven
     years, the investment and the income not disbursed would re-
     vert to the University of Kentucky, to a fund to be designat-
     ed by the "President and the business agent."

              To my knowledge, the Class of 1939 has made no ex-
     penditures or authorizations against this fund, nor has it
     appointed a re-union committee for approximately twelve
     years.  The savings account and compounded interest, as of
     December 30, 1950, amounted to $345883.    There will be an
     earned increment June 30, 1951 of approximately $4.30   It
     is possible that this account should be liquidated.    I shall
     be glad to discuss the case at your convenience.

                                     Respectfully submitted,

                                (Signed.) Frank D. Peterson,

     L. Policy on Recording Performances of Students on Campus0

     President Donovan read a communication from Doctor Chamberlain
setting forth the problem involved with reference to people interest-
ed in commercial recording of performanceF by students on the campus0



                                   May
                                   Fourth
                                   1 95 1


    President H0 Lo Donovan
    University of Kentucky

    Dear President Donovan:

         Recently I have talked to you about certain problems
    that have arisen as a result of the desire of people inter-
    ested in commercial recording to make records of perfo~rances
    given on the campus by our owtn students or by high school
    students participating in the various musical festivals0
    The purpose is to provide records and then to sell them to
    the students who have participated in the performance.   A
    considerable appeal can be made to a student on the grounds
    that he should have a recording of a program in which he has had
    a part0

         It may seem on fir s;)t hand that there is no particular
    harm in this, but there are certain disadvantages to the
    University0   After oiur first conversation I took the liberty
    of having a conferenee on the matter with Dr. Stein, Mr0
    Louis Clifton, Mr0 E. G. Sulzer, and Mr0 E, B. Farris0  Though
    not the only ones conc.erned, these are the persons most af-
    fected when these recor-1.dings are made.  It was pointed out
    that there are already two parties interested in making these
    recordings, more or less in competition, and that it is not
    unlikely that the number will increase0   If this should
    happen. it is not difficilult to see how the practice could
    become more of a nuisance to the Department of Maintenance
    and Operations, the Music Department, and the Department of
    University Extension than it is at present,,  It was pointed
    out that the sclicitation takes the time of the faculty

      members concerned and is distracting to the students.   It
      does not help a performance to have extra microphones in-
      volved or to have the people responsible for them working in
      view of the audience.  In some instances the performance
      does not measure up to desired standards, and in such cases
      the department head would prefer that no recording be avail-
      able.  Most important of all is the fact that we are not in
      the business, at the University, of putting on shows.   We
      are primarily interested in educating students, and the
      performances are only incidental to this purpose0   Any prac-
      tice that partakes of the nature of exploiting the students
      would not seem to be good for the University0

           It should be noted that we have available in the Radio
      Studios and in the Music. Department recording equipment with
      which we can prepare any recording which the University or any
      of its departments deem desirable0

           As a result of our discussion the committee has asked me
      to recommend to you that the Board of Trustees adopt a policy
      which might be stated as follows:

           Non-university agencies will not be permitted to
           make recordings of any performance on the campus of
           the University by students or faculty members. or by
           high school students invited to the campus, nor shall
           such recordings be made of performances off the campus
           given by University personnel or by others under the
           sponsorship of the University0   This regulation shall
           not, however, be interpreted as meaning that a depart-
           ment head may not employ a non-university agency to
           make a recording if it is found impossible for a neces-
           sary recording to be made by the University itself,,

           It is my understanding that it will be your purpose to
      request the approval of this policy to be effective July lo In
      the meantime we shall leave the decision with respect to a par-
      ticular performance to the department head concerned.

                                        St -ncerel.y,

                                 (Signed) Leo M. Chamberlain
                                           Vice President0


     After the reading of the communication, the recommended policy
was discussed, and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, was
adopted, effective July 1, 1951-

     N. Radio and Music Scholarships.

partment has requested 16 grants-in-aid for each of the two semesters
for the school year 1951-52 and a like number for the summer term
1952, and recommended that same be granted.,

for students who lend their talents to work of the Music Department

     Members of the Committee heard the recommendations, and upon
motion duly made, seconded and carried, authorized 16 grants-in-
aid for each of the two semesters of 1951-52 and a like number for

                              From- Fayette County Chapter of the
                                     Kentucky SocIety for Crippled
                                     Children -- $500.00.

     President Donovan read to the Committee the following communica-
tion:

                                          May 15, 1951

     Dr0 James Calvin, Chairman
     Department of Psychology
     University of Kentucky
     Lexington, Kentucky

     Dear Dr0 Calvin:

          Enclosed you will find a check for $500-00 from the
     Fayette County Chapter of the Kentucky Society for Crip-
     pled Children0   This is to be used by Dr, Diehl in the
     1951 swumer session of the Speech and Hearing Clinic0  It
     is requested that Dr. Diehl give us an accounting at the
     end of the summer session.

          In making this gift the Fayette County Chapter is not
     establishing a precedent of financial support0   It is our
     opinion that the work is of such importance that the state
     through the University should adequately underwrite this
     work0   It would be pleasing to the chapter to learn that
     the clinic will receive such support in 1952 as would
     indicate that the University will develop a program to meet
     the problem.

                                          Very truly yours,

                               (Signed) Hilda R, Abraham
                                         (Mrs. IJo.)
                                         Chairman, Speech Therapy0
