The Felton F a m, consisting of 93 acres located at the southeast corner of College Road and Cavanaugh Road, has been one of the properties the University has been trying to purchase for the past several years. The Feltons have not been interested in selling at any price. Some months ago they offered to sell to our intermediary for $125.,000. We counter-offered $93,000 and finally accepted a purchase option at $106,000 to he paid $31,000 immediately, $37,500 on January 15, i960, and $37,500 January 15, 1961. There are sufficient funds in the land acquisition account to cover this item. It is recommended that the Board approve this acquisition. On motion of Mr. Vanderploeg, seconded "by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. for 3* The State Department of Administration requests the presentation of our annual appropriation request" to the Governor and the state legislature by October 19. Due to the date of this Board meeting, an extension was granted until Monday, October 26. Mr. May has prepared a detailed budget request which is presented for consideration. 1 On motion of Mr. Stevens, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was voted to approve the budget requests as pre pared by the officers of the University and to authorize them to forward it to the State Department of Administration. The appropriation requested is as follows: For MSU-East Lansing For MSU-Oakland Cooperative Extension Agricultural Experiment Station $28,069,220 1,065,495 2,874,600 3,461,906 I % October 22/1959 4 2 2^ Minutes of the Meeting of the Finance Committee, continued: k. At the last meeting of the Board Finance Committee there was discussion of the feasibility of televising home football games that are sold out over the University television station. The following communication from M r. Denison is in response to that discussion: Director Munn, Dr. Hunter, Professor Fuzak, and I met today to discuss the feasibility of telecasting home football games over WMSB. It appears to be clear that the NCAA plan currently in effect authorizes member institutions owning educational television stations operated entirely on a non commercial basis to telecast home football games with certain reservations to be discussed later. We qualify under this classification under interpretations of the Federal Communications System. The additional stipulations are: 1« The game must be certified as a sellout at least kQ hours in advance of game time. 2. The assent of the visiting team must be obtained. 3« A- telecast must have the prior approval of the Television Committee of the ^ 1CAA. jApproval of jpolicy state- '''•.: j'znent re: j televising ! soldout home football [games Dr. Hunter assured us that under our shared time agreement with WILX-TV, it would be proper for us to preempt air time on Saturday afternoons for the purpose of televising a home football game. In addition he assures us that M r. Pomeroy would be highly in favor of carrying such games on Channel 1 0. This seems to clear up all of the points referred to this committee to be considered and discussed. 1 It is my understanding that the Athletic Council has this matter on its agenda for its next meeting and probably will recommend to you that Michigan State University make every effort to televise all of its sold-out football games in the future. The Athletic Council has now acted favorably on this matter, and negotiations are under way with the NCAA and the Big 10 Office to make this televising possible. On September 23 the House of Representatives of the Michigan legislature passed a resolution/ the import of which was to require that the University of Michigan and Michigan.State University televise the annual football game between the two institutions. On motion of M r. Stevens, seconded by M r. Rouse/ it was voted to approve the above as a policy statement and to authorize the officers of the University to proceed to broadcast sold-out home football games on our own television station whenever the games are not otherwise available on television. 5. For several months negotiations have been under way with the Library of International Relations \ Acceptance of in Chicago having to do with a possible transfer of this library to Michigan State University. The meeting of their Board of Directors will be held in Chicago soon, and the attitude of our Board of Trustees is now required before we can proceed further. library of international Relations This library consists of some 50,000 selected books, monographs, documents, etc., conserva tively valued at $500,000. If our Board approves, we would like to propose that we accept this library and continue it as a part of our Michigan State University Library. We will take over the two outstanding reference librarians now working for the Library of International Relations as members of our library staff. They are competent and able and will be valued members of our library staff. We will pay the costs of moving the library to East Lansing. It is estimated that this will be approximately $6,000. We will continue to publish the bibliographic publication known as "World in Focus". The present cost of this publication is approximately $7,000 per year, part or all of which may be recovered by subscriptions. It is felt that this would be a very valuable addition to our library and will undergird our request now pending before the Ford Foundation for a substantial grant for the establish ment ori this campus of an Institute of International Education. On motion of M r. Vanderploeg, seconded by M r. Stevens, it was voted to approve the acceptance of this library under the conditions outlined. Adjourned.

It is now proposed that our College of Communication Arts take over certain portions of this project and the assets of the National Project in Agricul tural Communications as of February 29/1960. This action is concurred in by the Association of Land-Grant Colleges, and they propose to select an advisory committee, including repre sentatives of agriculture, home economics, and other areas to cooperate in the continuance of the programs that we decide to continue.

Since final action on the continuance of this project will come before the annual meeting of the Association of Land-Grant Colleges on November 9> it is necessary to ascertain the willingness of our Board of Trustees to accept this project.

Approval of MSU Trustees . Scholarships On motion of Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Rouse, it was voted to approve Item 6. 7. Dean Gordon A. Sabine, Director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, requests approval of the following item: For some years, Michigan State University has awarded what have been known as "Michigan State University Entrance Scholarships". . Since we now have a Board of Trustees, and since many institutions label scholarships like this according to the name of the governing body, on behalf of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships I request approval for a change in the name of this award to "Michigan State University Trustees Scholarship". Last year, with the approval of Vice President Hamilton and the faculty Scholarships Committee, a portion of the "Entrance Scholarships" was designated as "Honors Scholar ships", to be awarded only to those students who were finalists in the competition for the Alumni Distinguished Scholarship and the General Motors Scholarship, but who were not one of the 15 winners of these extremely lucrative awards. All these students must show evidence of definite financial need, must show evidence of superior qualities of citizenship, must have ranked in the upper five per cent of their graduating classes, must have achieved extraordinarily high scores on the National Merit Scholarship - Qualifying Test, and must have had the unqualified recommendation of their high school principal. On behalf of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, I request approval for the designation of a portion of the "Trustees Scholarships" to be labeled "Trustees Honor Scholarships" for the group described above.
