Hope Road and to the C & 0 Railway right-of-way. A communication from Mr. Frank Evans, Engineer-Superintendent indicated a willingness on the part of the Road Commission to undertake this construction by the middle of June with final completion scheduled not later than December 15, 1965, contingent upon the granting by the Board of Trustees of the required right-of-way. On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was unanimously voted to approve granting the required right-of-way for this purpose to the County Road Commissioners of Ingham County.

Mallmann, Professor of Microbiology and Public Health, from July 1, 1965, to June 30, 1966, and retirement effective July 1, 1966, at a retirement salary of $3,000 per year. Dr. Mallmann was born October 29, 1895, and has been employed by the University since June 1, 1918. b. One ^_ear consultantship with full pay for G. Malcolm Trout, Professor of Food Science, from 1, 1965 to June 30, 1966, and retirement effective July 1, 1966, at a retirement salary of $3,000 per year. Dr. Trout was born March 7, 1896, and has been employed by the University since November 1, 1928. c. Leave with half pay for William Morris, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, from September 1, 1965, to June 30, 1966, and retirement without penalty on July 1, 1966, .at a retirement salary of $960 per year.

Recommendation from the Retirement Committee that the following changes in computation of pensions for employees covered by the University's retirement plan be approved: a. For faculty and staff retired before December31, 1964. A blanket 10% increase in the basic pension (Plan I) but not to exceed $3,000,, The only exception to the $3,000 maximum will be for those employees who might have qualified for social security if their employment had continued after July 1, 1956. b. For employees who retire after December 31, 1964: A blanket 10% increase in the computation of the basic pension plan (Plan I), but not to exceed $3,000, except that this adjustment shall not apply to the computation of pensions for faculty and staff who participate in the TIAA program. The above recommendations are estimated to cost approximately $3,000 annually, and the total cost for those persons who are now retired is estimated at about $375,000. This does not endanger the soundness of the Retirement Fund. Approp $5,000 approved Ag. Exp Sta Consultant- ships app. W.L.

Communication from Mr. May: As you know, we started to sell winter term bus passes on December 7 with the hope of determining the number of additional customers to be accommodated in the winter term. To date we have sold over 1,200 passes and are now concerned as to whether the increased load can be handled with present equipment. Purchase of new bus approved Several days ago we inquired whether it would be possible to get any additional GM buses at the price bid last July on very short notice. After checking with GM officials they agreed to divert one new bus from an order now being manufactured, and with your concurrence this order was placed. I think it would be well to advise the Board of the possibility that we will need to buy additional used equipment, or possibly lease several additional buses prior to the January Board meeting. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. Stevens, it was voted to authorize the purchase of one additional GM bus at the same price as was bid last July on the first order of buses and to authorize leasing of additional buses or making other necessary arrangements if that becomes necessary prior to the next meeting of the Board of Trustees. 11, Communication from Mr. May: Recently Congress approved changes in the NDEA Student Loan Program which will provide additional funds if Michigan State is prepared to provide necessary matching funds. An entirely new program has been approved for student nurses. This program is identical to the old NDEA program except for the forgiveness feature of 10 perent per year for a maximum of five years which has hereto not been approved for nurses. The student nurse program will be administered entirely separate from the regular NDEA program. To participate.it was necessary that.an application be filed by December 12. Our loan office estimated we would need approximately $33,000 for loans for student nurses for the balance of the fiscal year. I have signed the necessary application and am recommending that the Board appropriate the required $3,300 Application to NDEA to add. funds filed continued -- I I I I 5174 FINANCE .COMMITTEE MEETING ITEMS, continued 11.

Report Mr. Huff re: bonding prog for Univ ., bldgs. Financing AEC Plant Sci Bldg approved Recently Congress removed the $800,000 ceiling on grants to any one institution. Our application as originally submitted indicated that we need way more than the $800,000. Mr. Dykema, Director of Student Aid, has indicated that we could use approximately $200,000 more this year. This would require a supplemental appropriation of $22,222.23 for matching purposes. An application for these additional funds must be submitted by December 31. On motion by Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Bagwell, it was voted to approve the application for the additional funds and to appropriate the required matching funds. 12. Communication from Mr. May: Information has been received from the Michigan Higher Education Facilities Commission that the first date for submission of applications for grants under the Federal Facilities Act will be December 31, 1964. I would like to recommend that the Board authorize the filing of grants for the following three projects which appear to be eligible for grants: 1. Classroom Faculty Office Building 2. Addition to the Library 3. Renovation of Kedzie Chemistry Building It is our intention to file the application for the Classroom Building prior to December 31. However, the forms are so detailed and require so much information that it may not be possible to have them complete in every respect. For example, all of the required information on square footage of floors, type of classrooms, corridors, etc., may not be available from the architect. Application for the other two projects will be developed and ready for submission on the second date of March 1, 19 65. On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Mr. Pingel, it was voted to authorize the above procedure. 13. Mr. Huff discussed conferences and negptiations having to do with appropriations for operations and the developing of a bonding program for University buildings. Mr. Huff reported on the work of the Michigan Coordinating Council for Higher Education of which he is Chairman, with reference to branch colleges, bonding program for buildings, et cetera. It was agreed that the report of the special committee on branch colleges recently approved by the Coordinating Council would be a subject for discussion at the January meeting of this Board. I 14. Communication from Mr. May covering the financing of the AEC Plant Science Building, as follows; Assuming that the Board approves the award of contracts for the Plant Science Building, I would propose the following financing of this project: 1. That the Board authorize the use of up to $2,310,000 of general work cash. This amount will be initially, established on our books as an advance for the Plant Science Building. It will be repaid through the annual rent charge to the Atomic Energy Commission of $231,000 plus the application of all the overhead funds received from contract work carried on in the facility. I believe that with the application of the overhead funds, it will be possible to recover this investment in approximately five to six years. The AEC will be obligated to pay rent for the full ten years. 2. That we allocate $290,000 of contract overhead funds for this project. In the presenta- tion made to the Board last month, we indicated that probably $350,000 would be required. It should be recognized that this type of financing will reduce current interest income on cash balances, but this program is so important to our total university program that I believe this is an acceptable method of-financing as long as it is understood by the Board of Trustees and is authorized so there can be no questions by the auditors. On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Mr. Bagwell, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. jgj 15. It is proposed that effective with this meeting there will be a report included in the agenda of all meetings of the Finance Committee giving a list of all fund transfers within the budget that have been made since the previous meeting. All budget transfers in the current year, July 1 to December 11, 1964, are shown on the accompanying statement prepared by Vice President May. (A copy of this statement is filed with the supporting material for this meeting.) Manson Assoc. to prepare plans 200 units married housing 16. It is recommended that the Trustees authorize the appointment of Manson Associates to complete the architectural work on 200 additional units of married student housing. The decision was made at the October Trustees1 meeting to proceed with this work, but there was no formal action authorizing employment of the Manson firm as architects. They have been working on the project. $4,000 approp 17.

SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS ~ - 1. Approval of Finance Committee Items on the previous pages. On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve the Finance Committee Items. 2. The President recommended that East Campus Dormitory No. 4 be named in honor of Bela Hubbard who was a Detroit geologist, naturalist, and farm-owner. He was commissioned by the Michigan State Agricultural Society to draft a memorial to the Legislature asking that an agricultural college be established as soon as practicable. That memorial, presented in January, 1850, moved the Legislature to petition Congress to grant 350,000 acres of federal land with which to endow such a college. Thus Michigan presented the first of the many petitions which culminated in the Morrill Act of 1862, and Hubbard qualified as an educational pioneer. E. Campus Dorm No. 4 named in honor of Bela Hubbard Hubbard deserves to be remembered for many services, but one In particular justifies his being honored by Michigan State University. His memorial to the Legislature proposed specific courses of study, including the natural sciences, mathematics, engineering, and also those which would constitute "enlightened liberal education.11 These were his memorial words: MNor should the claims of literature and the fine arts be wholly neglected, as tending to polish the mind and manners, refine the taste, and add greater lustre and dignity to life.11 On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve the above recommenda- tion. 3. Professor Harry Kimber, Head of the Department of Religion and Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Letters was introduced by President Hannah to report on the Michigan State University Department of Religion. A copy of his report is filed with the minutes of this meeting. PRESIDENT'S REPORT Appointment 1. Peter B.
