(a) We have received a copy of the report of the engineers jointly hired by the University and the City of East Lansing to study the long-time problem of providing adequate sewage disposal facilities for the community. The report recommends as its first preference an agreement between the university and the City of East Lansing on. the one hand and the City of Lansing on the other contracting with the City of Lansing to handle our sewage with the understanding that the cost of the main sewer line connecting our present disposal plant with the Lansing system be borne by East Lansing and the University. It is further recommended that a contract be negotiated paying the City of Lansing on a qualitative basis a fair and reasonable amount for handling sewage. Such an arrangement will require an annual appropriation to reimburse the °ity of Lansing for this service* It is estimated that the total cost of installing the connecting line would be approximately $770,000. (b) The other alternatives are to consider an entirely new disposal plant to service the University and East Lansing at a new location, and a third alternative is to add to and modernize the facilities at the present location. This last alternative is undesirable from every point of view. ;1 I On motion of Mr. Mueller, seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted to endorse the first alternative pro- posal and to urge upon the City of East Lansing a three-way operation, involving the University, jCity of East Lansing and the City of Lansing, as outlined.in-"a" above. The officials of the University are instructed to enter discussions and undertake negotiations designed to consummate this objective. Policy state- ment approved re: Mewton Woods b. For many months we have been receiving numerous communications from individuals, from groups and organizations in southwestern Michigan, county historical societies, from the State Historical Society, and others, all expressing concern about the cutting of some of the large trees in the Newton W&ods portion of the Russ Forest. i | This matter has been given a good deal of consideration by the Forestry Department and Dean Cowden, Mr. McDonei and Mr. Varner. It is suggested that the following statement be made a part of the Board record, clearly outlining a permanent policy for the management of the Newton woods portion of the Russ Forest and as an answer to these many communications: . August 19, 1955 SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS, continued 8. NewtonWoods portion of Russ Forest-, continued: In recent months several groups and many individuals have been interested in the operation of the Fred ftuss Forest in Gass County and nave objected to the cutting of trees in a UU-acre portion of the forest which had been set aside by our Forestry Department as a long-time scientific research project in forestry management. The conversations between Mr. Russ and the Board and the terms of his will were very clear in turning the sole responsibility for the use of this property to the University to be used as a part of the long-time educational program of our Forestry Department. In planning and beginning the continuing forest management research project3 the Forestry Department x-fas clearly operating within the terms of Mr. Russr bequest. Policy state- ment approved re: Newton Woods In view of the widespread Interest In the maintenance in its natural state of the portion of the forest known as the "Newton: Woods % it has been decided to discontinue further cutting of trees in the "Newton Woods" portion of the Russ Forest consisting of the 80-acre parcel of timber land bounded on .the-.west by the Cassopoiis-Decatur Road and on the north by the Dowagiac-HarceJULus Road. The description of this parcel is WfNW^ of Sec» 29/ The decision not to continue the project in scientific forest management in the 50 acres of Newton Woods now owned by the University does not apply to the extensive planted areas of forests adjacent to the original Nexrton Woods nor to the additional areas north "of the highway. The Board would like to call to the attention of Interested groups and individuals that the 80 acres of the Newton Woods west of the public highway and containing the very large elm trees., and the 70 acres of woods southeast of the university property and containing the very large tulip trees were never a part of the ftuss Forest and are not now owned or controlled by the University. If it is desired that these trees should be maintained In their natural state^ tiie Board would welcome the addition of these 150 acres or any suDstantial portion of them to the present Russ Forest. On motion of Dr. Smith,, seconded by Mr. Brody^ JL .was voted to .approve the above policy statement and to give It publicity. 9. In December a request was lorwartieti to the State Highway Commissioner requesting that he set •aside'sufficient funds from nis budget provided ior scate institutions to widen and extend Snaw Lane from Harrison Koad.to iiagadorn Road, .tie indicates that no funds were allocated for the durrent year, ana that while the budget request is now being prepared ±"or submission to the state 'legislature He does not favor Inclusion in the budget he proposes to submit;* On motion of Mr. Brody^ seconded by Dr. Smithy it was voted to request the State Highway Commissioner! to reconsider this matter. It was pointed out that the proposed widening and extension of Shaw Lane Is not a part of the college expansion program but is designed largely i'or the purpose of providing a route across the University property for east-west traffic. If the University undertakes this construction^ It must go to the legislature for the funds and then become involved in the highway construction. The Board feels it Is much more logical to have the legislature appropriate the funds to the State Highway Department. The Board respectfully urges that the Commissioner Include this item In his planning for the 1956-5? fiscal year. It is further voted to extend • an invitation to Mr. Ziegler to have lunch with the Board on the date of the next meetings Friday, September 16. 10. The Fraternity Advisers1 Association has requested an opportunity to discuss with zhe Board some of thair problems with reference to sites for fraternities'in this community* Professor Donald Bueli and Professor il.

It is indicated that this item-will come up for discussion at the next Supervisors1 meeting. One of these proposals would annex the University-owned property west of Harrison Road South of the river to the City of Lansing. This will include our University Village married housing project and the new land just purchased from Mr. Hicks. I I I I I r SPECIAL MISCEJLLANEQUSj continued 12.

Hope Road and contiguous to the campus or University farm not now in the City of East Lansing. 13. One of the houses on Harrison Hoad between the railroad tracks and the Federal Poultry Labora- tory has become vacant, and the College of Agriculture has requested an opportunity to assign one of its employees to live in it. On motion of Mr. Brody, seconded by PIT-, Akers, it was voted to eliminate the house now vacant and to authorize the elimination of the other house when it becomes vacant. IU» The President points out that some members of the faculty have raised questions with reference University j attorney to ; request ! Attorney Gen. \ for ruling on \ constitution- \ aiity of ! Act 269 of ; I P.A, 1909 to the powers granted to the faculty by Act 269 of the Public Acts of 1909. They feel that this Act grants to the faculty responsibility for determining policies for educational operations, institutional organization and other matters. It has been intimated that an official of the State Government has requested the Attorney General for a ruling on this matter. It has always been assumed that the State Board of Agriculture has sole and exclusive responsi- bility for the control and operation of the institution. 1 On motion of Mr.. Mueller, seconded by Mr. Akers. it was voted to instruct the University attorney to immediately request, on behalf of the Board, a ruling on the constitutionality of Act 269 of 1909, pointing out to the Attorney General the consequences of a ruling that divides responsibility for important policy decisions. 15. The- Board had an opportunity to visit the Centennial of Farm Mechanization being staged by the College of Agriculture and particularly the Department.of Agricultural Engineering. On motion of Mr. Akers, seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted to commend Professor Farrali and his staff in Agricultural Engineering, Dean Cowden and uhe staff of the College of Agriculture for their contributions to the success of this outstanding event. 16. The President discussed with the Board the following matters: 1. The possibility of moving the American Hotel Institute, sponsored by the American Hotel Association, from another institution to the School of Continuing Education. 2.
