(2) Wages and salaries are to be increased approximately 106 for each employee but with the understanding that all increases granted since the establishment of the budget for the current year on July 1, 1950, are to be deducted from this adjustment.

The National Be search Corporation On .motion of Mr. Akers* seconded ^y Mr. Brody, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. 6. The Joint committee authorized at the last Board meeting proposes the following policy statement: "The State Board of Agriciilture recognizes that political affairs and issues are of real import and concern to members of Michigan State College staff, as they are to other citizens in our democratic society. Because of their special background and qualifications, Michigan State College faculty members have an important contribution to m ke in bringing their knowledge and abilities to bear on political problems of national and local significance. J1As a citizen a member of the Michigan State College staff has the same rights and respon- sibilities as any other citizen to write or speak freely. His special position, however, imposes special obligations to indicate that he is not an institutional spokesman, to be accurate, and to exercise appropriate restraint. A staff member has a binding obligation to dis- charge his instructional- or other regular duties. His ability to discharge these duties may be impaired by any private activity requiring a large portion of his time. For the mutual protection of the College and the staff member, it is the policy cf the Board that a staff member campaigning as a.political party's candidate for a state or federal office shall do so on his own time and for the period of such candidacy will obtain a leave of absence or con- tinue his work at the college on a part-time basis. Jinal determination for such decisions shall rest -with the Board. J}A member of the staff may become a candidate for an office of a temporary or part-time nature, such a membership on a municipal charter revision commission or as a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention, or as a member of a local school board* and such candidacy will not require a leave of absence from the State Board of Agriculture. "It is the intent of this policy to safeguard the freedom of speech, thought, and action of staff personnel and to avoid the impairment of the significant contributions they are capable of making towards the definition of political issues and the solution of political •problems in a democratic manner. u December 21, 1950 SPECIAL"MISCELLiUgaOPS, continued 6. Policy statement, continued: On motion of Mr, Brody, seconded by Miss Jones» it was voted to instruct the President to notify the Committee that it had no objection to the suggested draft outlined above and that when it is ratified by the A.A.U.P. it is ready to approve it as a policy for the institution. 7. The following is a recommendation from Mr, fey: t!The Kellogg Centerfs original budget* for which funds have been provided* antici- pated an expenditure for furnishings and kitchen equipment of $250,000. Orders have already been placed for $300,1^2.^9 worth of equipment and, according to the best estimates of Mr. Foster and Mr* Scott, another $150»000 will be required. This means that approxi- mately $200,000 additional will be needed to furnish and equip this facility. •."Part-.of- this overrun is due to rapidly increasing prices and part of it to a mis- understanding on the original estimated Mr. Scott and Mr. Foster inform me that they ori- ginally expected it would cost $250,000 plus the Hotel contribution of $100,000, whereas only the $250,000 including the Hotel contribution was provided. rJAt the present time we have accumulated a little over $240,000 from the Qjionset opera- tions and the service charges made to the Barracks. It would be my recommendation that we use these fxinds to take care of the immediate needs of the Kellogg Center and that we continue to make charges against the Barracks to build up sufficient reserve to take care of any fur- ther major repairs or expense in connection with removal of the temporary buildings. "I. think' the Soard should also knoi* that, as yet, no provision lias been inade for cover- ing architects fees on this project and:-we will, at some later date, have to provide the necessary funds for this expense." On motion of M r. Mueller, seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted to approve Mr. May's recommendation and he is authorised to make the necessary fund transfers. Mr, May to make neces- sary fund transfers for the equipping of the Kellogg Center for Continuing Education.. 8. Request from the W. q gg Kellogg Consolidated Agricultural School for an allotment of approxi- g mately 5 3/^ acres of land from the W. K. Kellogg farms and adjacent on the east end of the present W. K. Eellogg School property. This acreage, which'covers approximately 33 rods east and west and 30 rods north and south, will be used for an expansion of their athletic and playground activities. It is recommended that it be transferred to the Kellogg School Dis- trict by a 99-year, lease or by a conditional deedi and that the deed or conditional. lease should indicate that this land is being transferred to the school only for school purposes and that any time it is not used for such school purposes and not under the active supervision and control of the School District it would revert to Michigan State College. p 5 3/^ acres of land from Kellogg farms to be trans, to Kellogg Consolidated School on 99-year lease or by con- ditional deed On motion of Mr, Brody, seconded by Mr. Akers, it was voted to approve the request for the transfer of title of approximately 5 3/^ acres of land, from the ¥.1. Kellogg Farms to theW.E.- Kellogg Con- solidated Agricultural School to be used for educational purposes, with the understanding that if it ceases to be used for educational purposes the title is to revert to Michigan State College. ..9.. The Board discussed at some length the possible refinancing of some of the dormitory bond issues It was decided to reconsider this matter again in a few months but to take no action at this time. 10.

Mr. May reported further developments in.connection v.dth the acquisition of the kind of fire insurance desired by the Board covering college property.
