Communication from Mr. May: February 16, 1967 At the November Board meeting, I presented a proposal to trade approximately 9 acres of the old Oliver Equipment Company site to a wrecking company in return for services and expenses for razing all buildings at the plant except the one good building now leased to the L. A. Darling Company. This recommendation was approved, and the demolition is now in process. Approval of sale property at Oliver Equipment Co During the past month, I have had conversations with Hubbard Associates, the realty firm which manages this property, concerning the possibility of a sale to the Kellogg Company. An offer to sell has now been made to the Kellogg Company for a 22-acre parcel at a price of $332,000, a 1%-acre parcel adjacent to the main tract for $10,000, and a small parcel con- taining 9/10fs of an acre on the south side of Michigan Avenue for $8,000. If the Kellogg Company wishes to make the purchase, it will request a 6-day option for the purchase at a price of $350,000. Assuming a sale can be made to the Kellogg Company, the University would still own approxi- mately 10% acres of vacant land on the west side of Union Street. We believe that a buyer has been found for this tract at a price of $5,000 per acre. If the above two sales could be completed, the University would receive approximately $375,000, net of realtor commissions and selling expenses. This amount would about cover our initial appraised value for the property of $349,000 plus the accumulated deficit from its operations. I would recommend that the Trustees authorize its officers to sign options for the sales, if such options are offered. On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve the above item. 6. It is recommended that the Board authorize the granting of honorary degrees as follows: a. For the March commencement, an honorary degree for 0. Meredith Wilson, President of the University of Minnesota, the commencement speaker. b. That the President be authorized to offer honorary degrees to the following for the June commencement: - Approval honorary degrees for I March and I June commence- : ments Category 1--Michigan State University Alumni 1) Frederick Christopher Belen, member of the Class of 1937, lawyer, government official, currently Deputy Postmaster General of the United States. 2) Christian Fred Beukema, Class of 1940, engineer, executive, currently Vice President of Ore and Limestone Operations, United States Steel Corporation. Category 2—Distinguished Scientists, scholars, and Members of Professions 1) Dr. Everett C. Hughes, Professor of Sociology at Brandeis University, a distinguished scholar of the behavioral sciences. 2) Dr. Philip Levine, Director of the Ortho Research Foundation, Raritan, New Jersey, one of the world!s leavers in medical research. His discoveries in the field of Rh blood groups and in a number of other blood group systems have made blood transfusions safer for thousands of people. Category 3—Distinguished Persons in Public Life 1) Sir Eric Ashby, Vice Chancellor Elect of Cambridge University 2) Walker Cisler, Chairman of the Board, Detroit Edison Company These are the final selections from the following recommendations from the Faculty Committee on Honorary Degrees: scholars, or member of the Distinguished MSU Alumni Frederick Christopher Belen Christian Fred Beukema George A.

February 16, 1967 I Finance Committee Meeting-Minutes,, continued Funds during 1966-67 for new positions made available for new equip- ment in cer- tain colleges. 8/ Secretary Breslin reported on items of interest generated by the State Legislature. 9. Communication from Mr. May, as follows: When the 1966-67 budget was established, provision was made for a large number of new faculty positions. It was recognized that all of the funds required to fund the new positions would not be spent in the 1966-67 fiscal year. Further, when the amount of the uncommitted funds was definitely established, the funds would be made available to the departments for equipment purchases. I am certain that Michigan State University can expect a visit from the State Auditor at the close of this fiscal year. I would, therefore, like the Trustees1 minutes to show that this matter was presented to the Board and that authority was given to use the unspent salary money allocated to the positions for purchasing new equipment. This release of funds will be made to the Colleges. The Colleges of Arts and Letters, Education, and Social Science had very large allocations for positions but have modest equipment needs. The Provost and I would, therefore, like to recommend that the Trustees authorize the following transfers: From: Arts and Letters Education Social Science To: University College account 11-4515 University College account 11-4513 Engineering account 11-4244 Engineering account 11-4243 Natural Science, High Energy Physics Home Economics account 11-4254 Registrar's Office account 11-4054 Provost Special Instruction acct. 11- acct. 11- acct. 11- Acct 4651 4653 4654 $100,363 27,666 239,669 $367,698 117,000 50,000 21,000. 44,000 . 40,000 8,000 12,000 20,000 20,000 35,698 $367,698 On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Thompson, it was voted to approve the above recommenda- tion. it was voted on, Adjourned. MINUTES OF THE MEETING of the BOARD OF TRUSTEES February 16, 1967 Present: Messrs. Harlan, Merriman, Smith, Stevens, and Thompson; President Hannah, Treasurer May, and Secretary Breslin Absent: Messrs. Hartman, Nisbet, and White The meeting was called to order at 10:10 a.m. - President Hannah presiding. The Minutes of the January meeting were approved. SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS 1. Approval of the Finance Committee Items on the preceding pages. Trustee Stevens urges support for adequate tax structure Approval reso- lution re: creation of Law Enforce- ment Officers Training Council On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve the Finance Committee Items. 2. Mr. Stevens stated that in his view the Governor's recommended appropriation for the operation of Michigan State University and Oakland University for the next fiscal year are totally inadequate. He urged that the Trustees record their support for an adequate tax structure for the State and that they do everything possible to convince the Legislature that the appropriations should be increased to make it possible to continue to improve the Universities without resorting to the imposition of a further increase in student fees. This statement met with the general approval of all of the Trustees. Mr. Stevens then went on to indicate that when and if it becomes necessary to increase fees, he proposes to insist on relating fees to family income insofar as Michigan residents are concerned. i 3. Communication from Mr. Carr: Pursuant to your suggestion, we have reviewed the contents of Act 203, Public Acts 1965, effective January 1, 1966, providing for the creation of a Law Enforcement Officers Training Council; the manner of its appointment; preparation and publication of advisory training standards; authority for the Council to execute agreements with colleges and universities; establishment of a fund maintained by assessment as additional cost of an € 'SPECIAL-MISCELLANEOUS, continued: February 16, 1967 5741 3. Communication from Mr. Carr re: Law Enforcement Officers Training Council, continued: amount equal to ten percent of every fine, penalty and fortfeiture collected by the courts for criminal offenses; payment in an amount not to exceed one-half of the salary and living expenses paid to each police officer meeting such standards and participating in the training program (if he shall be away from his residence overnight); and the means of making application to the Council for such aid. Probably the actual money involved will not aggregate the total suggested by Mr. Bernitt*s letter dated February 2, 1967, but it will surely help and therefore should be considered. Under the requirements of Section 15 of the Act, any entity requesting such aid must supply a certified copy of an ordinance or resolution adopted by its governing body that it will adhere to the standards established by the Council.

Mourer Insurance Company, and the other qualified bid was submitted by the Mourer-Foster, Inc., which is an agency operated by George Foster. The bids submitted by the 0 !Meara-Sumnar and Stratton group and the Lyman and Sheets Agency were identical, and were from the Insurance Company of North America. These bids, while quoting a lower premium, contained a $100,000 deductible on any one loss and a $200,000 accumulative deductible for a series of smaller losses. This type of coverage could not be considered as meeting the specifications and would be in direct violation of trust indentures on all of our bonded buildings, which require the trustee to maintain insurance at the full insurable value of the buildings. It might be further pointed out that if this group of buildings were separated into a separate policy, the difference between the quotation of the Insurance Company of North America and that submitted by the Mourer Agency would be materially reduced. Further, this institution would be left with no insurance whatsoever on contents in many buildings where the total content value is less than $100,000. \ •; ; I | It is recommended that the Trustees award the insurance to the O.W.

Following is an extract from the letter sent by the President to the newly appointed special Committee on Undergraduate Education: Upon the recommendation of the Provost, I have today appointed a special Committee on Undergraduate Education:with practically unlimited authorization. We are asking that this Committee proceed from the base of first determining what they think our undergraduate programs should be like. Their first concern must be the University's obligation to offer the best possible undergraduate programs* • We do expect that they will begin their work with a review of the three great signposts in our history and build beyond them. First, as a land-grant university, we must remain sensitive to the needs of people, committed to the service of people through education. Second, we must recognize the useful contributions made to this University by the Study Committee of 1944 and its recommendation to emphasize in our undergraduate programs an adequate content in general education so that all of our graduates will have at least some exposure to thos fields of knowledge with which all educated persons should be familiar- continued - - NEW BUSINESS/ continued Miscellaneous, continued 34.
