2.  Recommendation to Proceed with Projects 

I Recommendation 
jto Proceed with 
jProjects 

At its December 5, 1980, meeting as part of the 1980-81 budget adjustment 
plan, the Board of Trustees approved the deferral of a number of projects. 
The following projects were included in this deferral.  It is recommended 
that funds be released for these projects in order to carry out the academic 
programs of these units. 

The opening of the new Communication Arts Building will be in the fall of 
1981, and certain equipment expenditures are necessary in order to equip 
this facility for instructional purposes.  The Teaching Kitchen in the 
Kellogg Center is obsolete and nowhere approaches the state of the art for 
a modern facility.  The accessibility funds will allow for the continuation 
of this important program and priority of the University.

project may be incorporated with the major upgrading of the Kellogg Center 
Cafeteria in order to benefit from favorable bid quotations for both 
projects.

Affiliation 
Agreement 

3.  Affiliation Agreement 

The College of Social Science is requesting approval of an affiliation 
agreement between the University and the Veterans Administration Facility, 
Allen Park, Michigan, to provide students in the Department of Psychology's 
clinical psychology training program with educational experiences at the VA 
facility. 

The "Memorandum of Affiliation" (on file in the Secretary's Office), while 
varying in format from our typical affiliation agreements, is the form 
required by the Veterans Administration for all its facilities.  The 
Veterans Administration also requires that the University approve the agree 
ment before VA review and sign-off. 

The Memorandum of Affiliation has been reviewed by the Office of the Dean, 
College of Social Science, the Office of the Provost, and by the Office of 
Legal Affairs and has been found to be in order.  The proposed agreement 
comes to the Board of Trustees with the recommendation that it be approved. 

RESOLVED that the Memorandum of Affiliation between Michigan 

State University, through its College of Social Science 
(Department of Psychology), and the Veterans Administration 
Health Care Facility  (Allen Park, Michigan) be approved. 

Approved by a vote of 8 to 0 on motion by Trustee Howe, supported by Trustee Lick.

the South Haven Experiment Station property until next week's Trustee meeting. 

Trustee Bruff moved that the President and Secretary of the Board sign the lease 
agreement with the Dart Oil and Gas Company, supported by Trustee Sawyer.  Trustee 
Bruff amended his motion subject to an agreed upon liability coverage increase of 
$5,000,000, supported by Trustee Sawyer.  Approved by a vote of 7 to 0.  Trustee
