If they continue to think that this stock should be purchased, the Board would be willing to give this further consideration at its next meeting. 3. The University has been cooperating in the administration of scholarship funds made available by the United States Congress underthe National Defense Education Act of 1958• In order that there may be a complete record in the Board minutes of all financial transactions, the folio-wing letter from Mr. May -was requested for inclusion in the minutes of today's meeting: ;National Defense Education Act of 1958 Several days ago you asked me for a brief report on the National Defense Student Loan Program for the Board. Listed below are the important points which reflect the University's participation in this program. 1.-. A total of $500,000 has been received from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. This represents the maximum allocation of $250,000 per year to any single institution. 4282 Firiance Committee Items, continued: 3. National Defense Education Act, continued: March 17, i960 2. The University has used $55*555*56 from the Lav Enforcement Fund for its required matching money. 3. To date the Student Loan Committee has approved loans to 738 individuals amounting to $^30,109.21. k. The Loan Committee intends to hold $100,000 of uncommitted funds for the use of freshmen entering school in the fall of i960. It expects to use the remaining $25^^6.35 -or neiw" l°arL applications during the "balance of this school year. f As the Board probably laaows, the National Defense Student Loan Act sets up priorities of eligible applicants. Priority must "be given first to students intending to teach in the elementary or secondary school systems; second, to students majoring in the science field; and, third, to any other students with need. This priority system creates some problems of administration because until the student reaches the junior or senior year, it is very easy for him to change his major. Further, some of our best students enter as freshmen with no preference listed. To date, we have found that many of our loan applications come from graduate students. This is partly due to the fact that most of the other University loan funds are reserved for undergraduate students, plus the fact that the maximum loan to any one student is $300. Although there have been a few students objecting to the loyalty oath and affidavit, there are still many students who are willing to sign both forms in order to obtain a loan. I thini: this University is right in joining with other land-grant institutions in recommending that the disclaimer affidavit be eliminated as a requirement for the loan, but do not believe we should drop out of the program when there are so many students in need of this help. k. Mr. Breslin discussed developments in the legislature of concern to the Trustees with particular reference to the appropriation acts of 1960-61. Request from the Art Department for air conditioning in the Kresge Art Center. Complete cooling would cost $80,000; partial relief could be obtained for an investment of $12,000 or $13,000. We have a request that has been held in the Board folder for five years requesting air conditioning for Berkey Hall and the Fairchild Theater and some related sections of the Auditorium to accomodate Summer School. At that time it was estimated that the air conditioning of Berkey Hall would cost approximately $190,000, and the total cost of air conditioning the Auditorium Buildings would be $228,800. Ifo action. Report on legislative appropriations No action on air condition ing for Kresge Art Center 6. There is a tendency for scientific groups to increasingly hold their meetings in Mexico and • Travel expenses not approved for meetings outside U.S. and Canada elsewhere outside the United States. It has been the long-time policy not to use University funds for travel to scientific meetings, conferences, etc., outside of the United States or Canada. Increasingly requests are being received for approvallbr University-authorized travel to meetings in Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America. Unless the Board feels otherwise, it is our intention to adhere to the long-established policy and not to approve travel expenses for meetings outside the United States or Canada. No action. 7* Vice President Muelder discussed negotiations m th the Institute of Science and Technology of the University of Michigan. Land at MSU-0 to be offered n 0^ 0.^0 .
