student body, the Board of Trustees, and the University administration to study
the University's housing policies and to make recommendations for the future.
The report was presented to him several weeks ago and has been the subject of
much speculation in the news media for the past few weeks. He said that he had
not responded to the report until he had had an opportunity to study it thoroughly
but that now he was prepared to implement certain of the recommendations in the
report. He then read a prepared statement, a copy of which is included at the

       Mr. Clay expressed appreciation to the Housing Commission for the

       J. Resolution Relative to Recognition of Public Employees Council
N o. 51 (TR 1)

       M\1r. Wendeisdorf, who had submitted for inclusion in the agenda
materials mailed to mnembers of the Board of Trustees prior to the meeting
a resolution recomminiending recognition of Public Employees Council No. 51
(see TR I at the end of the Minutes), explained that he was bringing the
matter to the attention of the Board in the context that the University should
deal with the w-hole question of unionization of University employees on the
merit of the question and not dispense with it or, procedural grounds. He said
he felt that employees have the right to organize into any type of organization
they wish without fear of retribution and that the University's action in seeking
a declaratory judgment had had a chilling effect on the employees' efforts to
organize. He said that in view of informal discussions he had had with
members of the Board he would like to change his resolution from the one he
had submitted prior to the meeting. He then moved adoption of the following
resolution: "that the Board of Trustees affirm the right of University of
Kentucky employees to organize into any kind of group to voice and propound
their views to the administration. "

       It being pointed out that this was not the original resolution and thereby
violated the ten-day notice rule, Mr. Wendelsdorf moved for suspension of the
rules in order that the Board might consider his substitute resolution. His
motion died for lack of a second.

       Mr. Thomas Bell said he considered it improper and unethical to take
any sort of action while the declaratory judgment suit is pending and pointed
out that it was the fault of the Labor Union representatives that the suit had
not come to trial. They had made a motion to remove the action to the Federal
Courts and had requested delays because their counsel was spending the
summer in Europe.

       Mr. Kincaid said that he had read the Minutes of the Board concerned
with the unionization of the University employees and had been unable to find
any record that the Board of Trustees had ever opposed it. Mr. Wendelsdorf
agreed that this was true but that the filing for the declaratory judgment had
resulted in the employees' feeling that the University did oppose unionization
and their interest in organizing had declined because of their fear of retribution.


       Mr. Wendelsdorf then moved that the original resolution which he had
presented prior to the meeting be withdrawn and moved adoption of the following
resolution in its place: "that the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky
recognize the right of University Employees to organize within Public Employees
Council No. 51, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees,
AFL-CIO, or any other labor organization. " Since the ten-day prior notice rule
also applied to this substitute resolution, Mr. Bell moved for suspension of the
rule. His motion was seconded by Mr. Griffin. A roll call \'ote was taken and
Mr. Bell's motion for suspension of rules passed by a vote of 12 to 4.

       Mr. Clay called for a second to Mr. Wendelsdorf's motion. Mr. Goss
seconded it indicating that he was opposed to the resolution but was seconding
it in order that it might come to a vote.

       Professor Oberst then moved that Mr. Wendelsdorf's resolution be
amended by striking everything after "the right of University employees to
organize" so that, as amended, the motion would read, 'that the Board of
Trustees of the University of Kentucky recognize the right of University employees
to organize. " Mrs. Blazer seconded his motion. On voice vote it was defeated.


       At this point Mrs. Clark asked if the law did not recognize the right of
employees to organize and, if so, why was it necessary to adopt a resolution
to this effect. it was agreed that this was true and that the University had
never questioned such right; however, there was a motion and second on the
floor which must be voted upon. The vote was called for on Mr. Wendelsdorf's
resolution and the no votes carried. (See TR I at the end of the Minutes. )




       K. Reconsideration of Regulations Governing the Use of Memorial
Coliseum

       Mr. Wendelsdorf who had submitted a recommendation for reconsider-
ation of the regulations governing the use of Memorial Coliseum requested that
said recommendation be withdrawn at this time since he now felt that the
problem could be worked out at the administrative level.


       L. Interim Financial Report (FCR 1 )

       Without discussion on motion by Mr. Griffin, seconded, and passed, the
interim financial report covering the three months' period ending September 30,
1972 was accepted and ordered made an official part of the Minutes of the
meeting. (See FCR I at the end of the Minutes. )


       M. Acceptance of Audits for the University of Kentucky
for 1971-72 (FCR 2)

       Having received copies of the audit reports and related statements as
submitted by the firm, Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgomery, in advance of the
meeting and there being no questions, on motion by Mr. Griffin. seconded, and
passed, the recommendation for acceptance as made in FCR 2 was approved.
(See FCR 2 at the end of the Minutes. )




 









                  CORRECTIONS IN THE MINUTES

dorf's motion, carried by a 9 to 7 vote. Mr. Goss then withdrew his second

end of the Minutes) which he had prepared for adoption by the Board of Trustees
regarding the death of two students on the campus of Southern University on
November 16, 1972. He requested that the original resolution be changed by
striking the first sentence, the entire second paragraph, the entire fourth para-
graph, and changing the word "pleading" in the seventh paragraph to "pledging"
and moved that the ten day prior notice be waived in order that the resolution
might be adopted. His motion was seconded by Mr. Goss and the aye votes
carried. The motion was then made to adopt the resolution as amended by Mr.
Wendelsdorf. It was seconded by Mr. Goss. Mr. Bell then moved that Mr.
Wendelsdorf's amended resolution be amended to include only the last two para-
graphs. His motion was seconded by Mr. Griffin.  Mr. Wendelsdorf objected
to the omission of the "Whereas" sentence. The question was called for and on
roll call vote, Mr. Bell's motion to amend Mr. Wendelsdorf's motion, carried
by a 9 to 7 vote. Mr. Goss then withdrew his second to Mr. Wendelsdorf's
motion and Mr. Wendelsdorf indicated that he wished to withdraw his motion.

       Mr. Bell then moved the adoption of the following resolution:

            RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the University of
       Kentucky expresses its regret and sorrow over the deaths of the two
       students at Southern University on November 16, 1972, and joins

       shall never occur again; and be it further

            RESOLVED, that the Board condemns violence both as a
       method of seeking change and of opposing it.

       His motion was seconded and on roll call vote passed, with all members
voting aye.




 













                 PRESIDENT'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

                          December 12, 1972



1.  STUDENTS DONATE TIME, FUNDS TO COMMUNITY

     Students continue to involve themselves in the Lexington com-
munity. The Fireman's Fund, administered by local firemen, has
solicited the aid of the Panhellenic Council and the girls in the
several sororities currently are gathering toys which will be re-
paired and distributed at Christmastime to needy children in the
community. Panhellenic also took part in the recent arthritis fund
drive and in the spring will help in the heart fund drive. The group
gave $100 to United Way, and are involved in the blood donor program,
with the Interfraternity Council.

     Each sorority and fraternity will be on call for a month to the
Blood Center, when needs arise for certain blood types as well as
quantity donations.

     The Karate Club was the first student organization to contribute
to United Way, donating nearly $500, proceeds from a local exhibition.
Individual fraternities and sororities followed, giving funds that
otherwise would have been used in building floats in the recent Home-
coming Parade. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is pushing the sale of POW
bracelets, to solicit public awareness of American armed services
people now held by the North Vietnamese. The Tri-Delts, a sorority,
is helping the SAE's in the campaign.

     The students work in local institutions such as Shriner's Hospital,
Manchester Center, and maintain a tutoring program in different areas
of the city. Many work with retarded and handicapped children.



2.   80 PER CENT IN H.S. JUNIORS PROGRAM ENTER UNIVERSITY

     The high school junior summer program which allows superior high
school students to earn college credit by enrolling in the eight-week
summer session, successfully recruits nearly 80 per cent of the parti-
cipants in the regular academic program.

     The Office of Admissions and Registrar has recorded 230 Kentucky
high school students enrolled in the program since its inception in
1963, and 77.9 per cent entered as full-time students sometime after
participating in the summer program.

     George Dexter, former director of the program and director of ad-
vising conferences, said some students remain here, and do not return
to high school. Before he is accepted as a full-time student, however,
the student is tested and counseled by qualified University personnel.

5.  PSYCHOLOGISTS STUDY DAY CARE CENTERS

     A team from the Department of Psychology, headed by Dr. Richard
Winett, is determining how day care centers for pre-school children
compare with traditional means of child care.

     The study will compare three groups of children: those in day
care centers, children who stay with babysitters, and children kept
at home by either the mother or the father.

     In addition to Dr. Winett, team members are Sharon M. Edwards,
Lexington, a senior majoring in psychology, William Fuchs, Louisville,
and Sara Moffalt, Boise, Idaho, both graduate students in psychology,
and Charles Battersby, a junior psychology major from Boston, Mass.

     The team will instruct interviewers who will conduct the study
in late January and February. Results are expected to be tabulated
by June 1.



6.  EXTENSION CLASSES SERVED 2197 STUDENTS

     Last year, from summer 1971 to spring 1972, James Brown, director
of the Extension Class Program, set up more than 150 classes in 51
different locations throughout the state, serving 2197 students. The
classes are offered on undergraduate, graduate and non-credit levels.

     In his report, Brown said the majority of the students in the
classes are completing post-graduate work while the others are at-
tempting undergraduate work mostly on an upper division (junior and
senior) level. Last year, 1179 students were enrolled in graduate
courses and 1018 in undergraduate work.

     Classes are offered primarily in areas near the community colleges,
in order to utilize the talents of personnel from those colleges. Brown
said classes are offered at any approved school center or facility,
however, when the enrollment justifies, and when instructors can be
secured. Quite often, the instructors are central campus professors.

     Last year, 60 per cent of all classes were taught by Lexington
based teachers. Over 110,000 miles were logged by instructors travel-
ling to and from their classes.



7.  MANAGEMENT-PLANNING FUNCTIONS TO BE STUDIED

     The University has been selected by the National Center for Higher
Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) as a pilot institution to explore
and apply new techniques in the management and planning functions in
higher education.

     Dr. A. D. Albright, vice president for institutional planning,
said the University was one of three institutions in the southern region
named to design, develop and encourage the implementation of management
information systems and data bases, including common data elements in
institutions and agencies of higher education. NCHEMS is supported by
the U.S. Office of Education.

8.  NEW CENTER AIDS GRADE SCHOOLERS IN CAREER PREPARATION

     Dr. Herbert Bruce of the College of Education, in cooperation
with the Bureau of Vocational Education, Frankfort, is conducting a
career education program with a $180,000 grant from the U.S. Office
of Education.

     He has started a Curriculum Development Center for Career Edu-
cation, which is developing curriculum materials to support both new
and existing programs in career education and providing in-service
education to career education and vocational education teachers
throughout Kentucky.

     The center emphasizes career orientation and exploration in the
seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, to enable youngsters to learn about
careers and aid them in selecting and preparing for a career.



9.  STUDY OF TRACE ELEMENTS SEEKS NEW DETECTION SYSTEM

     An assistant professor of chemistry is conducting a feasibility
study to see if new techniques can be developed to detect trace ele-
ments found in air, water, or the human body, that can be harmful or
helpful, depending on concentrations.

     Dr. Kenneth J. Hofstetter, aided by graduate students Kathy
Schroader, Ed Kennair, and James Stickler, is conducting the study.

     Air samples will be taken near the Interstate highways. Water
samples will be gathered in streams and lakes in the Lexington area.
Biological samples, such as urine and blood, will be acquired from
the Medical Center. Since tolerance levels of trace elements in the
human body are known, the difficulty arises when there is a serious
imbalance, whether too much or too little, Dr. Hofstetter said.

     If the new technique becomes an acceptable, standard measurement,
it could be beneficial in various ways. It could be one of the most
accurate tests of pollutants in air and in water. It could detect ex-
actly the amount of lead poisoning and other harmful elements in the
human body as revealed by urine or blood samples.

     The study, entitled "Charged Particle Induced X-Ray Fluorescence,"
is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.



10. CONSULTANTS WILL STUDY GLASGOW, CARROLLTON AS COLLEGE SITES

    A study of the feasibility of establishing colleges at Glasgow
and Carrollton will be conducted by consultants hired through a $40,000
allocation by Governor Wendell Ford. The recommendations of the study
group will be turned over to the Council on Public Higher Education
for evaluation.




 











11. DR. HAMIlTTON PRESENI'S D.STINGUISHED PROFESSOR LECTURE

     Dr. Holman Hamilton, professor of history, last Wednesday dis-
cussed "Claude Bowers and Popular History in the 1920s," in his lecture
as College of Arts and Sciences' Distinguished Professor of the Year.

     By custom, the Distlnquished Professor is relieved of his teach-
ing duties for a semester to pursue research on which he reports
through his lecture.  College faculty members have elected by secret
ballot one a-o their colleasues for the honor annually since 1944.

     Dr. Hamilton's research also will result in a book, "The Career
and Influence of Claud-e G. Bowers," currently in preparation.



12. IUPNIVERSITY TOPS CHARITY DRIVE GOAL BY $5,000

     Although the University's goal in the recently conducted United
Way fund campaign a was set at $85,000, nearly $30,000 more than was
donated by the Uni_,Jversity community last year, the amount contributed
here this year is mae-re than $90,000, and contributions are continuing
to come in.

     Dean Ernest Witte was campus chairman. this year: Dr. Roy Yarbrough
was vL!:rs- caeirrman, and Dr. Alvin Morris was chairman for the entire
FeyetLe -ount.-y7 e ;,"ort.



13. LTTr , GRONWING RAPIDLY, PILLS A NEED

     Established in 71963 to meet the needs of students seeking an
associate dep-ec, the Lexington rTechnical Institute has grown from
an initial enrollxent of 20t students to its present 863.  LTI operates
entirely wli .thin the physical facilities of the University, but retains
the same autonomy enjoyed. by the community colleges.

     Some LTI students are older persons seeking only the technical
skills to prepare them f1)or a new career or to advance in their current
job.  Only such general courses such as freshman composition, sociology,
and psychology are ta-ught LT I students by the University faculty. A
separate faculty of 2 full--Lime and 30 part-time teachers staff LTI's
technical and adult continuing education programs.

     LTI offers the associate degree in 14 technical and professional
fields, including nursing., civil engineering, data processing, dentist-
ry, electrical engineering, olectro-encephalography, forestry, manage-
ment, manufacturinq, radiology, respiratory therapy and transportation.
Professional secretaryship and- vocational teacher associate degrees also
are available.

     Pusjiness careers attract the largest number of students, according
to M. L. Ar-.Icher, director, with nursi,'ng and allied health next.  Last
year, the entire nursing lass passed the state board examination.
