Mr. May raised the question as to whether it. was the desire of the Trustees to sell the 1,150 shares of Commonwealth-Bank stock included in the partial distribution of the Klare estate. On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. White, it was voted to authorize the sale of the 1,150 shares of stock in the Commonwealth Bank at the offered price of $78 per share. 4. Communication from Mr. May: At the December Board meeting a gift of 100 shares of Federal-Mogul stock was accepted from Henry L. Caulkins with the proceeds to be added to the Caulkins Foundation Scholarship Fund. I would like to recommend that the Trustees authorize the sale of this stock at their February meeting. 5. Communication from Mr. May: Gift and grant forms have been submitted for a gift of 5,000 shares of stock of MacManus, John & Adams, Inc., to Oakland University. This gift was made by Charles F. Adams, who has indicated a willingness-for the firm to repurchase the stock at its par value of $1 per share. I would recommend that the Trustees authorize the sale of the stock at its par value * of $1 per share, for a total of $5,000. 6. Communication from Mr. May: A gift of ten shares of Ford Motor Company stock has been received by Oakland University from Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Hooven, Authorization for the sale of the stock is requested. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. White, it was voted to approve items 4, '5, and 6. 7. Communication from Mr. May: j I have received a request from Professor Leonard Falcone for an appropriation of $3,375 to purchase new raincoats for the Marching Band. The raincoats which we are using were purchased about 10 years ago and are in very poor condition. There is a further problem in that it is no longer possible to obtain replacements as needed. I would recommend that the Trustees make the supplemental appropriation of $3,375 in order that the raincoats can be ordered and available for the fall season. On motion by Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve the above item. Fee charge statement Scudder, Stevens and Clark Federal-Mogul stock to be sold 5,000 sh.

It is recommended that an appropriation be made for $1,455 to cover the cost of installing ramps at the following buildings to permit wheelchair users to more easily enter and exit these buildings: Anthony Hall, Biochemistry, Engineering Building, Natural Science Building, Student Services Building. 10. Mr. May recommends that the Trustees authorize the transfer of $7,500 from the Indirect Expense Account on Foreign Projects to International Travel. This fund is now overdrawn and needs to be replenished, On motion by Mr. Hartman, seconded by Mr. Stevens, it was voted to approve items 8, 9 and 10. 11. Communication from Mr. May: Discussion re: increase in rates in dormitories and married housing I would like to have you place on the agenda for the Finance Committee an item for discussion of an increase in rates in our dormitories and married housing. We will have materials available to support the following recommendations: a. That dormitory rates at Michigan State University be increased from $275 to $290 per term b. That the monthly rates for the various apartments be increased as follows: Married Student Apartments 1-Bedroom 2-Bedroom Student $ 94.00 100.00 Faculty $119.00 129.00 Permanent Faculty Apartments Unfurnished Furnished ; 0-Bedroom 1-Bedroom 2-Bedroom $ 88.00 106.00 119.00 $ 95.50 113.50 126.50 c. That dormitory rates at Oakland University be increased from $413 to $443 per semester. In a discussion Mr. Huff emphasized the inequity that exists that works to the disadvantage of Michigan State University students as a result of our compliance with the legislative requirement of charging the cost of utilities to the residence halls and married housing units, when at the same time the State of Michigan subsidizes the utility costs for such projects at other State Universities. He emphasized that if the Legislature would provide a similar subsidy for Michigan State University and would pay a reasonable rent for educational facilities built into the residence halls, this increase in rates would not be necessary; and that, in fact it would be possible to reduce the rent for married housing units. |U,—!I Recommenda- tions Mr. Lautner re: pedestrian lanes After considerable discussion, on motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. White, it was voted to authorize the Secretary and the Chairman of the Board to place this matter before the legislature and to delay action changing the rates to be charged pending the outcome of these discussions. 12. Mr. Lautner met with the the Board and presented his studies of pedestrian traffic patterns crossing the Red Cedar River now and predictions for the future. He recommended the widening of the pedestrian lanes on Farm Lane bridge, the widening of the steam line pedestrian bridge and the planning for two additional pedestrian bridges, - one between the Kresge Art Center and Eppley Center and one at a point midway between the Farm Lane and steam line bridges. After discussion, it was agreed that the University should proceed with the planning for the widening of the two bridges at the earliest date possible with the understanding that a specific recommenda- tion for planning one or two new bridges will be presented to the Board at an early date. Classroom and office bldg. to be planned 13. Consideration of the classroom and office space needs for 1967, as prepared by Harold Dahnke. This report results from a request for this study developed at the Gull Lake meeting of the Trustees in the spring of 1965. After discussion, on motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to authorize immediate planning for a classroom and office building to be available for the fall of 1967, providing 9 to 10 classrooms and 210 faculty offices at an estimated overall cost of $2,000,000; and to authorize the employment of Eber^leH-Smith and Associates of Birmingham as the architects. 14. The President reviewed the proposed changes in the federal budget that could result in the reduction of $847,000 in the federal funds now available to Michigan State University for operation of the University, for the Agricultural Experiment Station and for the Cooperative Extension Service. Persons to be honored at Farmers Week to be dis- cussed with Board It was agreed that the University should join with other Land Grant universities in an all out effort to convince the Congress of the undesirability of these proposed changes and curtailments. 15. Mr. Huff introduced a discussion of the criticisms that have come to him and other Trustees resulting from the selection of certain persons recently honored by the College of Agriculture. The point of view was expressed by some of the Trustees that honors of this magnitude and significance might well be presented to the Board of Trustees before the selections are final- ized. [ Finance Committee Items, continued February 17, 1966 16. Mr. Breslin reported on the progress of appropriation bills and other items of interest in the legislature and Mr. May discussed the deficiencies in the Governor's recommended budget from our point of view. 17. Supplemental appropriation of $3,000 for the Secretary's Office to cover the salary of Roger E. Brown for the period from April 1 to June 30, 1966. 18. Recommendation that the Trustees authorize the purchase of property located at 3095 Phillips Road, known as the Hitchcock property for $14,000, described as follows: Commencing 759.0 feet North of SE corner of the SE% of Section 6 T3N, R1W, Alaiedon Township, thence North along the East line of said section 165.0 feet, thence West parallel to the South line of said section 23.1.0 feet, thence South parallel to the East line of said section 165.0 feet, thence East parallel to the South line of said section 231.0 feet to the point of beginning. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve items 17 and 18. 19. The speaker for the winter term commencement scheduled for Sunday, March 13, will be Martha W. Griffiths, Member of Congress from the 17th District. The honorary degree committee has unanimously endorsed the awarding of the honorary Doctor of Laws degree to Mrs. Griffiths on this occasion. On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve awarding the honorary Doctor of Laws degree to Mrs. Griffiths. 20. As of February 11, the student occupancy report in the dormitories showed a total of 703 rooms for men with 3 occupants and 137 rooms for women with 3 occupants; a total of 840 rooms with 3 occupants per room. If we are to undertake the construction of an additional residence hall to be available for the fall of 1968, preliminary planning should be authorized. If the Board approves this item, it is intended to investigate the feasibility of designing the next residence hall to house the students in the Justin Morrill College and the second semi-autonomous undergraduate! college in a single complex. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. Stevens, it was voted to authorize this planning, and to approve Ralph Calder Associates of Detroit as the architect for this structure. 21. We have reached the point where it is necessary to undertake the development of plans for an. adequate student health center to/replace the Olin Memorial: Center, which is badly over- taxed. The present Center was designed for a maximum enrollment of 20,000 students. Facilities for caring for daily student sick call and out-patients are particularly inadequate, and there is not enough bed capacity to take care- of the present requirement. It is neither possible nor desirable to add to the Olin Building at its present location. A year ago it was thought desirable to provide interim relief through the conversion of space in the residence halls to take care of a part of the daily sick call. Further study has indicated that this is impractical. Report Mr. Breslin, progress bills- in legislature. Add. $3000 for Secretary^ Office Approval purchase of Hitchcock property T ' ' Martha W. Griffiths Commencement speaker March 13. Approval planning new dormitory Ralph Calder Associates named arch. Approval planning new health Center The new Student Health Center should be coordinated with the facility to be provided for teaching programs In the College of Human Medicine. It is now.proposed that preliminary studies be made looking toward the planning and construction at an early date of a totally new student health facility to be located in close proximity to the College of Human Medicine and planned to avoid duplication of expensive installations that could well serve both the Student Health Center and the teaching requirements of the College. It is requested that the Board authorize the beginning of planning for this student health . facility with the understanding that in the near future there will be a recommendation for the employment of an architectural firm with competence and experience in this type of construction. It is assumed that this building will be financed through the dedication of a student fee following the policy used for financing the Olin Health Center and its later remodeling and additions. . After discussion, on motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve this planning with the understanding that the building will be located as a part of the planned medical complex south of the Grand Trunk Railway, centering about Bogue Street. Mr. Huff objected to the site. Mr. White moved and Mr. Huff seconded an amendment that the decision on the site be deferred. This amendment was adopted. The motion was then approved. j j j \ j t 1 22. Alexander Kloster, the Acting Superintendent, inquires on behalf of the State Board of Education as to whether Michigan State University would be interested in supplying some kind of assistance toward a proposed study of "education to meet health care needs in Michigan/1 This inquiry grew out- of; a conference on January 28 in which Mr. Huff and Dean Hunt represented Michigan State. MSU to coop, with State Board of Educ re: study health care needs in Mich It was agreed that the President should advise Mr. Kloster that it is the desire of the Board to cooperate in this study. 54^6 j Finance Committee Items, continued February 17, 1966 Referendum to | be taken in | j dorms re: assessment of \ $1 per term i for student- operated-radio] system in residence hallsj 23. The Associated Students of Michigan State University is contemplating a referendum election on February 24. The purpose is to have the students living in the undergraduate residence halls authorize an assessment of $1 per term to be collected from all living in the dormi- tories to be used for the installation and operation of a student-operated all-residence-halls radio system. The system in the Brody Dormitories has been operated and financed by the students living in that complex for approximately 10 years. A system within the Shaw Dormitory has been in operation for many years• j ; ! I j : It is proposed that the funds collected xvill pay the total cost of installing the system and take care of the cost of operation. Approximately a year ago, it was indicated to the student leadership that if they were to proceed with this project they would be required to devise a proposal that would make it possible for this project to stand on its own feet financially without commercial advertising, and that they would be required to get the approval in an election involving all of the residents in the undergraduate residence halls in which at least a majority of all eligible students actually vote; and that it would be necessary for a majority of those voting to vote in farcor of this assessment before it would be recommended to the Board of Trustees for approval. The purpose in putting this item forward for discussion today is to permit noti- fication to the students before the election is held if the Trustees are not inclined to favor the proposal. On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was unanimously voted to authorize the President to advise ASMSU that the Trustees will require a majority of those living in the undergraduate residence halls to participate in the referendum and a majority of those voting to vote in favor of the assessmert before the Trustees will give approval for a continuing collection of the pro- posed assessment of not to exceed $1 per term, 24. Mr. Varner recommended that the following be awarded honorary degrees at the Oakland University commencement in April : I I Professor Matthew Meselson Dr. Frank Stahl Mr. Roger Kyes Honorary degrees approved for Oakland Univ. After considerable discussion, on motion by Mr. Harian, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve this recommendation. jMr. Huff and Mr. White wished to be recorded as not voting. Farm leaders to be invited to appear before Board 25. Many months ago when a delegation of farm leaders visiting the University, it was indicated that an opportunity would be provided for them on some occasion to appear before the Board of Trustees to discuss their views with reference to the need for a Crop Science Building to service Michigan's agriculture. . ... . n _.. Annual Fire ; The Board indicated a willingness to invite this group to appear sometime in the next few months. 6 H FF p :.p.!j j 26. The annual report of the East Lansing Fire Department for the year 1965 was received and filed with the material for this Board meeting. Foreign study programs approved for Justin Morrill College stu- dents 27. A total of almost 100 Justin Morrill College students will be enrolled for 8-week summer programs in Europe in intensified language study as a part of the MSU-ELEC program during the coming summer studying French at Lausanne, Spanish at Madrid, and German at Cologne. A program is in the discussion stages involving a substantial number of MSU Russian language students to participate in a language study program at the University of Moscow for 6 weeks and a 2 weeks program in a youth camp. This program will involve students from three or four other American universities. The total cost of all of these programs will be borne by the students enrolled in them. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was unanimously voted to approve these European projects, including the one in Russia. Representatives MSU and OU invited to convocation Center for Study of Dem. Institutions 28. The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions of which Robert Hutchins is the President is sponsoring a 3-day convocation on "The University in America" to be held in Beverly Hills, California, on May 8, 9 and 10. This is ori an invitation basis. Michigan State University and Oakland University have been invited to participate.

Voting by mail, a majority of the Trustees voted to modify the policy for selecting '• suppliers of printing for the University to become effective immediately, as follows: ! Modification of printing ruling Printing for Michigan State -University will be awarded to suppliers on the basis of •competitive prices and quality of work. Establishment of Hotel scholarships from estate of H. William Klare and Elizabeth A. Klare Suppliers must demonstrate that their quotations for work are based on prevailing wages and working conditions in the community. These qualifications can be demonstrated by filing with the University purchasing department a certificate of compliance or authorization to affix the union label. 3. H. William Klare of Detroit, formerly manager of the Statler Hotel of Detroit, played a key role in the establishment of the School of Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional . Management. Mr.-Klare died in September 1963. .In his will one-half of the estate was left to the widow and the balance in a testamentary trust for her benefit during her life, and upon her death 5/7 of the residuary was to be used for the creation of the H. William Klare and Elizabeth A. Klare memorial scholarships. Mrs. Klare died in May 1965, and her will provided that 1/3 of her estate was to be used for the same purpose. The Probate Court has authorized a partial distribution from these estates, and we are now in receipt of a check for $70,000 plus 1,150 shares of stock in the Bank of the Commonwealth of Detroit. It is recommended that these funds and future funds received from these estates be used to establish the H. William Klare and Elizabeth A. Klare Trust Fund to be permanently invested and the proceeds used to finance the H. William Klare and Elizabeth A- Klare Memorial Scholarships for students in the School of Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management. As funds from the trust income permit awards shall be granted to encourage", and assist worthy and deserving students in the School of Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management with the total awards to any individual student not to exceed $1,000 for undergraduate students seeking a Bachelor's degree and not to exceed $2,500 to graduate students pursuing a doctorate degree. The language of this will and the intent of Mr. Klare which shall govern :these scholarship awards are as follows:. The President of the University, upon appropriate recommendation by the faculty of the School of Hotel Administration, Restaurant and Institutional Management shall award (from available funds as earned by the trust investment) scholarships to deserving and needy students of the School of Hotel Administration, to assist them severally in the promotion of their respective studies subject to these provisions: I 54*78 Klare scholar- ships NEW BUSINESS, continued SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS, continued 3. H. William Klare gift (continued) February 17/ 1966 1. Scholarships of not to exceed $2500 shall be restricted to graduate students (of demonstrated talent, scholarship, and diligence who shall have given evidence of their dedication to the profession of teaching or research at Michigan State University) pursuing a doctorate degree at Michigan State University as distinguished from undergraduate or other students in this School who shall be eligible for scholarships of not to exceed $1,000. Preference shall be given to doctoral candidates. 2. Scholarships of not to exceed $1,000 shall be restricted to undergraduate students, or graduate students not working toward a doctorafc;e degree who are pursuing their continuing education at Michigan State University in the field of Hotel Administration, Restaurant Operation, and Institutional Management. To qualify for a scholarship the student must have demon- strated talent, scholarship, diligence and a continuing interest in the field of Hotel Keeping, Restaurant operation, or Institutional Management. 3. It is the desire of the donor that these scholarships be for the advantage of the young men and women pursuing studies in the field of Hotel Keeping, Restaurant Operation, and Institutional Management as well as looking toward lasting benefits to the traveling public through intelligent service and improvements in structures. Telegram Michigan Senate re: allowing communist speakers on campus On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve Item 3. 4. The President reported the receipt of the following telegram on February 11 from the Michigan Senate: On Friday morning, February 11, the Michigan Senate adopted a resolution requesting state supported colleges and universities to deny their institutions as a forum for communist speakers. On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was unanimously voted to reaffirm approval of the existing speakers policy as originally recommended by the Michigan Coordinating Council for Public Higher Education and adopted by the Trustees December 14, 1962. /s/ Raymond D. Dzendzel, Senator Majority Leader Report on probable j: changes NDEA curtail- ] ing direct federal ' support for student loan ! programs 5. Vice President Sabine introduced a discussion of the problem posed by the probable changes in the National Defense Education Act drastically curtailing the direct federal support for student loan programs and substituting therefor bank loans to be guaranteed by the federal government. This becomes an emergency item because of the requirement that the University confirm its tentative commitments to incoming students by April 1. Students from low-income families in the past have had trouble negotiating bank loans, and this is particularly true in the Detroit area. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. White, it was voted to instruct the President in the name of the Board: 1) To implore Detroit banks in which the University has deposits to reconsider their policy with regard to lending money to needy students. 2) To notify the Michigan delegation in Congress of the urgent need of students for a continuation of the student loan provisions in the NDEA program as currently operated. 3) To bring this situation to the attention of the two education committees of the legisla- ture. 4) To authorize Dr. Sabine to proceed for the present with his programs of assistance to new students on the assumption that somehow loans will be arranged for students who would qualify for loans under the NDEA loan program as currently in effect.
