The recommendation is as follows: jApproval jlnstitute of ;¥ater Res. 1 1 One of the most complex and pressing problems confronting Michigan and almost every state is the use of -water. Federal agencies have for some time expressed concern over these problems and are making funds increasingly available to universities for water research. Research in the use of water involves a variety of disciplines touching on such questions as health (adequate supply for city consumption, sanitation, sewerage disposal), agriculture (irrigation, erosion, conservation, reforestation), industry and transportation (development of harbors and seaways, diversion of-water from LaJce Michigan to Chicago, diversion of water from Lake Michigan to Chicago, disposal of industrial wastes), fisheries, limnology, oceanography, the tourist industry, etc. \ The urgency of establishing a university approach to respond to problems of water research has been proposed to the academic deans who concur that we should proceed in some imaginative way and concur also that the establishment of an Institute of Water Research would be a desirable forward step. j | It is proposed, therefore, that the Board of Trustees establish an Institute of Water Research whose functions and administrative arrangement are described below:' Functions: a. To identify and report research in progress at Michigan State University in water research, and faculty presently engaged in such research. b. To develop plans and programs of interdisciplinary research related to water research. c. To assist in the development of funds and other resources to support water research carried on unilaterally in established departments. d. To act whenever expedient as a recipient for funds as an institute entity to support and encourage water research. e. To report on significant and suggestive research in progress elsewhere. f. To provide a focus to which faculty might turn for advice and guidance for work in this area. AflTTri nistration: 1 The Institute would be organized and administered initially as follows: a. A policy and program review board would be established consisting of deans havinf major research programs" in water research. Deans may be represented by designees. b. A director would be appointed as early as possible to give leadership and to supervise activities of the Institute: Initially this responsibility will be assumed by the Office of Research Development to whom the director would be responsible. The director may be assisted by an executive secretary. c. Members of the Institute would be those facility interested in having such an identification and would become so identified upon recommendation of their department heads and respective deans. d. Appointment might be made from persons on the facility to the Institute on a ^, l/3 or •§- time basis from term to term, or from year to year, depending upon available funds. On motion by Mr. Nerriman, seconded by Mr. Stevens, it was voted to approve the establishment of an Institute of Water Research, to be effective November 1, 1961. Report of 2. Report of the death of Thomas R. Ford, Assistant Professor of American Thought and Language death of on October 1^, 1961. Mr. Ford was born on July 1, 1908, and had been employed by the University since January 1, l$k6. Thomas Ford It is recommended that the widow of Thomas Ford continue to receive his salary for one year beyond the date of his death. 3. Report of the death of Wilma Farmer, Senior Departmental Secretary in Mathematics, on October 13,. 1961. Mrs. Farmer was born on August 14, 1913, and has been employed by the University" since August 22, 1955* Report of death of Wi.lma Farmer Bids site work k. Bids have been received for the site work for the Student Residence Halls at Michigan State Residence Halls University-Oakland, as follows: MSU-0 rejected Stanley M. Jones Co. Erickson & Lindstrom Co. $5^,298.00 57,110.60 I Since all of the financing of this project is through a loan with the Housing & Home Finance Agency, our budget provides only $^3,081 for this work. It is recommended that both bids by rejected. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was voted to reject the above bids. Trustees Stevens and Vanderploeg attended the meeting of the Association of Governing Boards held at the University of Nebraska and reported on the program. ADDITIONAL ITEMS, continued ^Miscellaneous, continued October 20, 1961 Discussion plans for addition Union Bldgs for International Programs. I 6. Discussion of the preliminary plans for the addition to the Union Building to house the activities of the Dean of International Programs and to be financed from the funds that have been accumulated over the years as overhead from our various international projects. A portion of this addition will house the University Book Store making it possible to rearrange the food service facility in the building, and that portion of the building will be paid for out of Union Building income. It is estimated that the total cost of this project will be in the vicinity of $1,100,000. When detailed plans have been completed, Dean Taggart and Emery Foster will appear before the Board with the architect. i' Division for Physical Plant and Develop ment estab lished. 7- It is recommended that the Board authorize the establishment of a Division for Physical Plant Planning and Development. This will be a coordinating operation including the coordination of the work now done by the Department of Site Planning and C-rounds Maintenance under the direction of Professor Lautner; the work of the University Architect which now reports to the University Secretary; the work having to do with planning of utilities for new facilities, building materials, etc., under the direction of Mr. Simon in the Department of Buildings and Utilities; and the coordination of the academic needs for additional facilities involving various faculty groups reporting to Provost Miller. It is proposed to designate Professor Lautner as the Director of this Division with the understanding he will be relieved of the responsibility for heading the Department of Urban Planning and Landscape Architect-are in the College of Business and Public Service as soon as that can be worked out. As much of this work as seems practical will be centralized in the Manly Miles Building until space in a University building is available. This will require the renting of this space. It is recommended that this be effective at once* On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve the above recommendation to be effective immediately. 8.
