It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mr. Alford, and carries that the following be adopted:
That the Planning committee of the State Board of Education, in conjunction with the administration of the three Idaho schools of higher education involved in the Big Sky Conference, develop a plan for the resolution of problems in athletics that exist at all the schools predicated upon the expenditure of not more appropriated funds than are to be budgeted for fiscal 1974 in athletics. Mr. McCollum abstained.
Currently the M.S. degree with thesis is authorized in all departments of the College of Engineering (Agricultural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering). The engineering faculty wishes to permit certain students to substitute appropriate course work for the master's thesis; and to protect the research character of the degree of Master of Science, the faculty wishes to designate the non-thesis option as Master of Engineering. It is only the introduction of the new degree title which defines this as a new program. It will involve only courses now being offered. It will require no new faculty, staff, equipment, or other expense. (General curriculum report #24.)
It was moved by Mr. McCollum, seconded by Dr. Munson, and carried that the degree of Master of Engineering be approved in the fields of agricultural engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, effective immediately.

This will release to the public by means of sale, the specified patented strains of beans developed through research at this station. The amount of income which may be received from this sale is impossible to estimate, since a large part of the possible yield will be derived from the royalty of 3 cents per pound on all seed produced. Should the strains be especially successful, the royalty income could be significant; if not, the income will be negligible.
Income derived from this sale will be placed in a Restricted Current account to be used for the support of further research of this type, not necessarily limited to beans.
Advertisements for the sale of these patented strains of beans have been placed in appropriate publications and are to be opened, at which time bids could be accepted or rejected, on 5 February 1973.
It was moved by Dr. Munson and seconded by Mr. Thatcher that the Application for Research Grants and Awards, shown by Exhibit II, be approved. Motion carried.
A copy of Exhibit III is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
The Board of Regents of the University of Idaho enthusiastically and appreciatively respond to the offer of Dr. Boyd Archer Martin and Mrs. Grace C. S. Martin to create a trust in the favor of the University of Idaho to fund the operation of the Boyd Archer Martin and Grace C. S. Martin Institute of Human Behavior to investigate the cause of war and the conditions of peace, and for the purpose of implementing the acceptance of said offer do appoint Dr. J.P. Munson and Mr. A. L. Alford, Jr., members of the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho as a sub-committee of the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho to discuss with Dr. and Mrs. Martin the terms of the acceptance of the trust proposal by Dr. and Mrs. Martin for the support of the Institute of Human Behavior.

The above reference explained University plans and secured Regents' approval for property acquisition and completion of a parking lot immediately east of the Student Union Building in three phases. Phase A and Phase B have been completed, and in 1965 it was estimated that Phase C would be completed about the summer of 1975. To do this work involves eliminating five old houses owned by the University, one of which was damaged during the weekend 9-10 December 1972. At that time the heating boiler in the house, 706 Deakin Avenue, quit working. This resulted in a freeze-up of the water pipes, boiler, heating pipes, radiator, plumbing fixtures and traps. The estimated cost to repair these items is $5,800. The fact that the boiler was essentially worn out has been known for some time, but we decided that, because of the overall condition of the building, replacing the boiler or accomplishing other major repairs of he building would not be economically justified.
Three of the other four houses mentioned above are in extremely poor condition, and the remaining house is in fair condition. Removing all five of these old houses at the same time would be most economically sensible. Specifically, we should complete plans and specifications within the next few weeks, and early in the spring bid the removal of the houses and the completion of Phase C of the parking project. This will provide parking for about 57 more cars. There is an increasingly critical need for this additional parking. Financial plans were previously mentioned, when Regents' approval to proceed with this development was secured in 1965. This matter is again being reviewed with the Regents because of the length of time since this matter was cleared with the Board. Approval to proceed with this project is requested.
The University also owns another old house near the area described above, 412 College Avenue, which is in an extremely poor state of repair. Because of the age and overall condition of the house, expenditures to repair it are not justified. Accordingly, arrangements will be made to have this house removed and grass planted on that site, when the aforementioned work is accomplished.
It was moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that the Bursar be permitted to solicit bids for (a) the removal of six houses at the following locations which are owned by the University: 706 Deakin Avenue, 420 Narrow Street, 416 Narrow Street, 410 Narrow Street, 406-404 Narrow Street, and 412 College Avenue, and (b) the extension of University parking facilities as previously described, with the understandings that (a) the work will be completed in the summer of 1973, (b) the cost of removing these buildings, completing the Student Union parking development, and accomplishing related work will total less than $50,000, and (c) this cost will be covered by nonappropriated funds that have been expressly reserved in the Student Union Bond redemption fund.

It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mr. McCollum, and carried that the Bursar be permitted (a) to establish a fund to be known as the John B. George Memorial Trust Fund with money received for this fund, (b) to invest the fund as part of the University's Consolidated Investment Trust Fund, and (c) to utilize the earnings from this fund in accordance with a trust agreement, the specific details of which the Bursar is to work out to comply with the desires of the creators of the Trust.
Reference 1 indicates that unrestricted gifts and bequests received in the name of the University of Idaho or the Regents may be credited to the University of Idaho Foundation, Inc., but specifies that in each case prior to making such a transfer to the Foundation, the item will be reported to the Regents and their approval to make the transfer secured. Reference 2 cites the last transfer of this type which was submitted to and authorized by the Regents.
Twenty shares of common stock of the Union Pacific Corporation has been contributed to the University by an individual. He asked that the President credit this gift "as deemed advisable," and authority to transfer this stock to the University of Idaho Foundation, Inc., in accordance with the provisions quoted in the paragraph above, is requested.
It was moved by Mr. Alford, seconded by Mr. Thatcher, and carried that the Bursar be authorized to transfer to the University of Idaho Foundation, Inc., stock certificate number H025235 for twenty shares of common stock of the union Pacific Corporation received as an unrestricted gift by the University.

The above reference presents Regents; authority to settle certain claims involving the architect and contractors for the University Swimming Center in accordance with recommendations of the University Attorney. The University Attorney felt that we would be able to collect $12,719.55 from the architect and settle a claim of $3,041.10 by the mechanical contractor, Babbitt Electric and Refrigeration Company for $200.00, and a settlement on this basis was approved by the Regents. We did collect from the architect, but Mr. Babbitt sued the Regents for the $3,041.10. The issue involved the amount that should be authorized the contractor for profit and overhead. The suit was scheduled to go to trial on February 1, 1973.
In accordance with recommendations of legal counsel representing the University, this matter has been settled out of court by a compromise settlement under which the University paid the contractor the sum of $1,548.30, to include filing fees and service costs. A final decision on whether to settle or go to trial had to be made January 29, 1973. Since the University's attorneys felt that it would be in the University's best interests to settle, in this case, the Bursar authorized the settlement. The total amount of Mr. Babbitt's contract on the Swimming Center amounted to $336, 443.93.
It was moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. McCollum, and carried that the action of the University Bursar in authorizing a payment in the amount of $1,548.30 to Mr. Loyale Babbitt, rather than a payment of $200.00 as previously approved by the Regents, be ratified.
That Article V of the Constitution of the University Faculty be amended to provide for the election of three undergraduate students and one graduate student to serve as voting members on the Faculty Council, and that the Faculty Council be empowered to determine the details to implement the foregoing; further, that instead of electing the student members who will serve for the balance of the 1972-73 membership year, they be appointed by the President of the University after consultation with the duly constitutes student government organizations on the campus.
The addition of students as voting members will improve communications and broaden the spectrum of opinions and viewpoints represented on the Faculty Council (administrators are already represented as presidential appointees). It is requested that the Board ratify the amendment as soon as possible so that the student members may be seated and begin their service on the council at an early date.
It was moved by Mr. Alford, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that the above recommendation be approved, effective immediately.
The above reference announced the following policy:
"Vacation leave for all faculty and other exempt employees who are employed on a fiscal year basis shall be two days per month with a maximum accumulation of thirty days. Further, that any employees at the University of Idaho who have accumulated in excess of thirty days of vacation leave by October 31, 1972, shall be allowed to take such excess leave prior to June 30, 1974."
It is requested that this policy be changed as follows:
"Vacation leave for all faculty and other exempt employees who are employed on a fiscal year basis shall be two days per month with a maximum accumulation of thirty days. To permit phasing into this new leave policy in an orderly way, and to minimize disruption of work schedules and leave plans, University employees shall be permitted to accrue leave to a total of 44 working days, until June 30, 1973, and to take excess leave which they have accrued until June 30, 1974. Effective July 1, 1974, the maximum accumulation of vacation leave shall be thirty days."
The reason for this requested change is to permit a less abrupt transition into the new thirty-day limitation on accrued leave. As mentioned during the Regents' meeting in December 1972, the policy as presently stated will cause unnecessary inconvenience in some cases and pressure employees who now have thirty or more days leave accrued to take leave as it accrues, in a way which is inconsistent with their plans and duties.
It was moved by Mr. Engelking, seconded by Mr. Thatcher, and carried that the revision of leave policy requested above be approved.
It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mr. Alford and approved that for this year only the $00 bonuses be allowed for the ASUI secretaries, and that next year the ASUI establish its budget for payment of overtime, if this occurs.

2. Academic Performance. Instructors and students are responsible for maintaining academic standards and integrity in their classes. An instructor may reduce a student's grade for dishonesty in a course, but the effect shall not be greater than the proportionate value of the work involved to the total requirements. If the student deems the reduction of the grade unfair, he or she may appeal through the Academic Hearing Board. Disciplinary penalties for academic dishonesty must be judicially imposed.
It was moved by Mr. McCollum, seconded by Dr. Swartley, and carried that the above revision of general academic regulation "0-2" be approved.
Therefore, approval is requested for the following revised regulations "B-11-a" as printed in the catalog supplement of the 1972-73 Time Schedule:
a. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. With the approval of their advisers, undergraduate students who have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 or higher are permitted to enroll in one course per semester under this "pass-fail option." (The grade-point requirements are not applicable to students who are taking university-level courses for the first time.) This procedure is separate from taking courses which are regularly graded on the basis of P or F. Undergraduates are not permitted to take the following courses under the pass-fail option: Eng 101 and 201, courses in the student's major subject field, and courses excluded from this option by the academic department in which the student is majoring. (In the case of interdepartmental curricula, e.g., American studies, agribusiness, etc., "academic department" means the departments, colleges, and/or other units involved.) Departments usually exclude courses which are closely related to the major field. A maximum of eighteen credits earned under this regulation may be counted toward a baccalaureate degree.
It was moved by Mr. Alford, seconded by Mr. McCollum, and carried that the above revision of regulation "B-11-a" be approved.
To assure the continuing force of re-edited provisions, and to provide a new starting point when researching questions relating to Regents' approval of specific provisions, it is requested that the 1973-74 general catalog be approved. All substantive changes (e.g., new courses, curricula, degrees) have been presented individually and have received Board approval. The catalog is on the press as this agenda is being prepared. Copies were distributed at the meeting in Moscow.
It was moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that the 1973-74 University of Idaho General Catalog be approved.

Note: That exhibit requests that tax withholdings not be made in the case of visiting faculty. Federal and State law requires such withholdings in the case of employees but excludes payments to "independent contractors." Such a classification is generally permitted in the case of physicians, lawyers, dentists, contractors, sub-contractors and others pursuing an independent trade, business, or profession as such. In any event, at this time the University will continue to withhold federal and state tax and FICA tax from the salary of visiting faculty members pending the receipt of a written opinion or other authoritative ruling that such withholding is not necessary.

In all cases, need will still be the primary criterion for selecting recipients for these scholarship awards.
It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that the above proposal be approved.

Amount of Contract: $67,565.50
Date of Completion: 20 October 1972

1. Requirement of a statement by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. We are now undergoing the institutional self-study which the association requires for their accreditation visit in 1974.
2. The general curriculum review now being conducted by the Planning Committee of the Board of Regents.
The Statement of Mission, Functions, and Objectives presented as Exhibit VIII is the culmination of a five-year effort begun in 1967. It has included inputs from Faculty Council, Administrative Council, the ASUI, the Cooperative Extension Service, Alumni, members for which the University prepares practitioners.
It was moved by Dr. Swartley, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that the "Statement of Mission, Functions, and Objectives of the University of Idaho," as presented in Exhibit VIII be referred to the Planning Committee for review.
A copy of Exhibit VIII is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
It would now be advisable to have one full-time Investment Officer. The scope of the University's investment programs are such that the salary for this position can now appropriately be covered from charges to investment earnings. Therefore, such a change in the funding of the Business Manager/Investment Officer position is proposed. As soon as possible, the incumbent in the position, Mr. H. Eugene Slade, will be utilized full-time in areas relating to investment management. This change in funding will free funds now in the general operating budget to permit the hiring of an internal auditor.
External auditors have urged that the University keep the position of internal auditor filled by a qualified auditor, and such an individual is sorely needed. However, it was necessary to designate the person who was the internal auditor as the Assistant Business Manager, to free the Business Manager for work as explained above. Thus, no one is now assigned as internal auditor, although the function is being performed in a makeshift way. Efforts are being made to find a suitable person to be internal auditor, and the position will be filled as soon as possible, if the financing to make this possible is approved as recommended in this action.
It was moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that effective July 1, 1973, financing for the position of Investment Officer be covered by charges to the University's investment programs, the exact charge to each such program, which may need to be changed from time to time, being established by the Bursar, in a manner which is equitable and proper.
It was moved by Mrs. Hay, seconded by Mr. Alford, and carried that the revised statement relating to the appointment and responsibilities of college deans (see enclosed Exhibit IX) be approved.
A copy of Exhibit IX is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
The revised statement will bring the University into conformity with federal regulations relating to investigations involving human subjects, clarifies the role of the Coordinator of Research up-dates the definitions of grant, contract, and cooperative-agreement research, and attempts to make explicit the research responsibilities of faculty members as well as administrators at all levels.
Item E-6 of the revision involves a change in emphasis with respect to "classified" research projects. It was the Faculty Council's feeling that the results of research undertaken and performed by a public institution should be available to the public, unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary. Item E-6 provides that the University normally avoids undertaking research projects the release of whose program content or results is to be in any way restricted. However, the Research Council is not prohibited from approving a classified project if there is a compelling reason to conduct the research.
It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that the proposed revision of the University of Idaho's research policies as recommended above, and as shown in Exhibit X, be approved. A copy of Exhibit X is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
This above change was recommended by the University of Idaho's ROTC Affairs Committee, February 12, 1973, and has the support of the three ROTC departments. The recommended change of name is consistent with similar changes being made in colleges and universities throughout the United States.
It was moved by Mr. McCollum, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that the above recommendation be approved.
Section III, Paragraph 5, of the Board-approved "Statement of Student Rights" requires that before disciplinary regulations adopted by the Faculty can take effect they must be published. Authorization to publish the new Code is therefore requested.
All segments of the University participated over a two-year period in the development of the Code and it represents a general consensus of a vast majority of the various constituencies of the University of Idaho. It is recognized that this code will need to be used and tested for a time before it can be known for certain that all problems have been solved; however, the Faculty recognized the urgency of completing the document so that problems which have resulted from not having a unified and orderly statement of disciplinary regulations can be overcome. As experience demonstrates the need for amendments, they will be made.
It is the sincere hope of the Faculty Council that if it is determined that additional changes are needed, the Board will return the Code for further work prior to taking final Board action.
It was moved by Mr. McCollum and seconded by Mr. Alford that the "Student Code of Conduct" (Exhibit XI) be accepted with the exception of that portion, "Article VIII Drugs and Alcohol," and that this portion be referred to the Planning Committee. A copy of Exhibit XI is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
In accordance with the Board's permission for University of Idaho colleges to update the subject signatures with currently-authorized curricula leading to the B.S. degree, report is made of the fact that the College of Education has substituted the word "Recreation" for "Education" with the B.S. degree to be earned by students completing the currently-authorized non-teaching curriculum in recreation in that college. Thus, after the 1973 commencement, students who complete the recreation curriculum in the College of Education will become candidates for the degree of Bachelor Science in Recreation, rather that the B.S. Ed.
Resolved, that the University of Idaho Foundation is designated as the agent of this Board for the receipt, administration and management of funds held or received in trust for the benefit of the University of Idaho; provide, however, that this Board shall retain exclusive power over the manner, methods and procedures through which the funds are invested; and
Further resolved, that the Bursar acting on behalf of this Board shall offer such agency to the University of Idaho Foundation and should the Board of Directors of that Foundation resolve to accept the responsibility thereof then the Bursar is authorized to work with the designated officer of the Foundation and to do all acts necessary and convenient in causing said funds to be transferred to said Foundation and to do such further acts as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of these resolutions; and
Further resolved, that until otherwise directed by this Board, the Bursar shall deal with the investment of the trust funds in the manner, and with the methods and procedures, presently in effect.

The decrease in payment requirements during the next fiscal year ($22,830.96) will provide us a means of solving a problem of a projected deficit in the income account – Restricted Current, Computer Center- during 1973-74 fiscal year. With this action it will not be necessary to reduce our computer service operation next year to eliminate the deficit situation. Demands upon computer services have increased tremendously and consequently it would be extremely difficult to reduce the current services provided.

1. That the scholarships awarded from this fund be designated as President's Scholarships.
2. That the number of awards and amounts of these awards be determined each year by the Offices of Financial Affairs and Student Financial Aids, based upon earnings available for distribution, and the numbers and needs of qualified recipients. Initially, it is anticipated that each annual award will be about $250.
3. That these scholarships be awarded to outstanding and deserving students enrolled in or enrolling in the University of Idaho.
4. That the recipients of these awards be selected by the University's Scholarship Committee, in coordination with the President's Office.
It was moved by Mr. McCollum, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that the criteria for scholarship awards as described above be approved.
1. From the National Science Foundation, a grant of $93,964 by the College of Engineering for a project entitled "Radiation Enhanced Electrocatalysis" during the period July 1973 through June 1975.
2. From the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, a grant of $17,558 by the Department of Biological Sciences for a project entitled "Hormonal Control of Delayed Implantation" during the period 1 June 1973 through 31 May 1974.

Medical insurance for full-time University employees has been purchased annually from the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company since 1956. Employees generally have been pleased with the service provided and other companies have not been invited to submit bids for this insurance. The University pays 75 percent of the cost of this coverage for participating employees. They pay 25 percent of the cost and may, by paying the full cost of such coverage.
The above reference indicated that we planned to determine whether or not the University could affect a cost saving without incurring a loss in the quality of service being received by changing to another insurance company. However, we have not yet been able to get firm experience data for the last calendar year. This information is of primary importance before seeking bids for continued insurance coverage. Accordingly, we now wish to extend the current policy, which was scheduled to expire on 30 April, until 30 June 1973. This extension will enable us to furnish the necessary information to bidders and still allow adequate time for the bidding process and the analysis of bids received. In addition, it will place the renewal date at the start of the fiscal year, which is desirable for budgeting purposes.
It was moved by Mr. Alford, seconded by Mr. McCollum, and carried that the Bursar be authorized to extend current insurance coverage as explained above and then to request quotations from companies wishing to submit such quotations, with the understanding that Regents' approval will be secured prior to signing a contract for insurance coverage past June 30, 1973.

It was moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. McCollum, and carried that the Bursar be authorized to advertise for bids, accept the lowest responsive bids, and sign contracts for the completion of the above-described work as soon as possible after occupation of the Agricultural Sciences Building.
Project: Alterations to Secure Area, Admin. Office Bldg.
Contractor: Commercial Builders, Inc., 301 College Avenue, Moscow, Idaho
Amount of Contract: $27,757.00
Date of Completion: 23 March 1973
In October, 1972, the Regents approved the following policy:
"Existing faculty and professional employees shall retain any existing recorded sick leave as of October 31, 1972; however, if no record of sick leave has been kept for the faculty and professional staff, nine days of sick leave will be credited for each full year of service at Idaho institutions of higher education to a maximum of forty-five days."
Some employees were credited with more sick leave under the policy approved in 1967 than they would have been under the policy approved in 1972. For example, under the 1967 policy an employee with 20 years service was credited with 72 working days of sick leave on July 1, 1967. However, the policy approved in 1972 provided for a more generous crediting of accrued sick leave for many employees than did the earlier policy. For example, a person who had been employed by the University for nearly six years in 1967 was credited with 22 working days of sick leave under the old policy, while he would have been credited with 45 days sick leave under the policy announced in 1972.
To avoid unfair treatment of any employee, it is recommended that persons who have been employed full-time by the University since before July 1, 1967, be permitted to elect to have their accrued sick leave as of that date computed by either the method approved in 1967 or 1972, with sick leave since that date accruing at the standard rate. This will not cause the University to incur any significant cost. There has never been a difference in the rate of accrual of sick leave for full-time employees based upon whether they were considered faculty, professional staff or classified personnel, and no differentiation in sick leave policy for such categories for employees is proposed.
It was moved by Mr. Alford, seconded by Dr. Munson, and carried that the above recommendation be approved.
1. Effective teaching is the primary responsibility of individuals holding the rank of senior instructor, and this primary responsibility shall be weighted accordingly in the annual performance evaluation. Senior instructors also have the responsibilities specified for instructors (see p. 87 of the Handbook of Policy and Procedure).
2. In addition to the qualifications for instructors (see p. 87 of the Handbook of Policy and Procedure) senior instructors must present evidence of outstanding teaching ability.
3. Except in very rare instances, the rank of senior instructor shall be considered as a terminal rank (no limitation on the number of reappointments; does not lead to promotion to the professorial ranks). Prospective appointees to this rank must be fully informed of its terminal nature.
4. At the time of initial appointment, the salary of a senior instructor normally will be comparable to that of an instructor. However, since it is assumed that individuals will hold this rank for an extended period of time (presumably receiving cost-of-living and merit increases) the average salary of senior instructors will be higher than the average for instructors, but below the average for assistant professors.
5. No individual who is a candidate for a doctoral degree in the college of the University in which he or she is teaching may be appointed to the rank of senior instructor, and no individual may be continued in this rank if he or she is advanced to candidacy for a doctoral degree in the college of the University in which he or she is teaching.
6. No more than fifteen percent of the positions in any department may be held by senior instructors; however, each department may appoint one individual to this rank even though, in some instances, this would exceed the fifteen percent limitation.
It is understood that whether or not this academic rank eventually becomes tenurable will depend on Board actions with respect to the revision in the state-wide tenure policy. The faculty of the University of Idaho has recommended that the rank of senior instructor be tenurable; however, final action on that separate matter is not requested at this time.
It was moved by Dr. Swartley, seconded by Dr. Munson, and carried that the rank of senior instructor be established at the University of Idaho as recommended above.
The Dean of the College is now planning for the College to move into its new building in early October.
The above reference indicated that "about one-half" of the funds received from traffic fines would be used to cover the cost of traffic control on campus and related administration, to include salaries and accounting costs, purchase of parking decals, and the printing of traffic and parking regulations. Such costs currently total about $13,000 per year. Parking fines collected which are not needed to cover the aforementioned costs have been authorized for use as scholarship grants.
Through March 15, 1973, parking fines totaling only $8,251 have been collected this fiscal year. Accordingly, it is anticipated that, for the foreseeable future, it will be necessary to use essentially all traffic fines collected toward the costs of traffic control on campus and related administration. Any traffic fines collected which are not needed to cover such costs will continue to be used to pay for scholarships. Also, it is planned, when possible, to employ students to assist in traffic and parking administration.
It was moved by Mr. Alford, and seconded by Mr. Benoit that a budget increase and additional allotment request in the amount of $48,352 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973 for the University of Idaho be approved.
It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mr. Benoit, and approved that the rates of allowance for travel expense for all persons under the governance of the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho, effective July 1, 1973, shall be actual cost of lodging, plus $7.50 per day within the state for meals or $10.00 per day without the state for meals, and the rate of mileage allowance shall be 12c per mile.

Both programs have been formulated from existing course offerings. For the Board's information, the exhibits presented with the notice of intent at the April meeting are also presented with this request (see attached Exhibits II and III).
Moved by Mrs. Hay, seconded by Dr. Munson, and carried that the addition of the above-named programs be approved, effective immediately. A copy of Exhibit II and III is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
Grades and Grade Changes
The assignment of grades and changes in grades, whenever such changes occur, are the sole prerogative of the instructor and they are reported by the instructor directly to the Registrar on forms provided by the Registrar's Office. With respect to grade changes, an instructor may only change a grade to a new grade that he or she could have assigned initially, i.e., A, B, C, D, F, P, I, IP.
In response to a petition from a student, the Administrative Council's Petitions Subcommittee may find that a grade change seems warranted. However, no grade is ever altered by the Subcommittee on its own authority because after a grade has been reported to the Registrar it may not be altered except by a written request stating the reasons for the alteration which shall be signed by the instructor who submitted the original grade. If the instructor cannot be contacted, the chairman of the department in which the course was offered may assume the prerogatives of the instructor in connection with the grade change.
Waiver of General Academic Requirements
A student may petition the Administrative Council for a waiver of any general academic requirement officially adopted by the University Faculty. All such requirements are printed in part 3 of the General Catalog. If the student deems the Administrative Council's action on a petition to be unfair, he or she may appeal to the Academic Hearing Board. The Administrative Council's authority to waive general academic requirements is normally discharged by its Petitions Subcommittee.
Moved by Mr. Deaton, seconded by Dr. Munson, and carried that the above statements be approved, effective immediately.
1. "Provisional enrollment" in the Graduate School has been eliminated. Students will be enrolled either as "full enrollment" or "unclassified enrollment."
2. "In absentia" registration provisions have been discontinued. When appropriate, graduate students may continue to conduct research and directed study off campus; however, a special registration category is no longer needed.
3. Some graduate courses taken by correspondence study may be counted toward a graduate degree, subject to the approval of the candidate's committee. At the present time no such credits may be applied toward a graduate degree.
4. The residence requirement for a master's degree has been reduced from twenty-two to twelve credits, with the understanding that individual departments may require a higher number of credits when appropriate.
Many other changes have been made, although most are not substantive. Note that in the Exhibit the current requirement is stated followed by the change.
Moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that the changes in the regulations of the Graduate School, as contained in the enclosed Exhibit IV, be approved, effective immediately. A copy of Exhibit IV is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.

Moved by Mr. Benoit, seconded by Mr. Thatcher, and carried that approval of the above action be confirmed.
Moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. Benoit, and carried that the Bursar be authorized to advertise for sale the above mentioned land and to sell it to the highest bidder.
The reference approved establishment of a restricted current account for the maintenance and improvement of the University Experimental Forest, with funds being deposited into that account from the sale of timber from salvage and harvest cuts. Bids were received on May 22, 1973 for approximately 1,200,000 board feet of timber to be secured from such cuts. Four bids were received and a contract for the sale was signed with the highest bidder, Bennett Lumber Products, Inc., Princeton, Idaho, at a price of $97 per thousand board feet.
Moved by Mr. Engelking, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that approval of the aforementioned sale be ratified.
The above reference authorizes the acceptance of grants and awards, the requests for which have been reported to the Regents. In accordance with this authority, acceptance of the grants and awards listed in Exhibit IX is reported.
The University of Idaho is receiving a bequest from the estates of W. L. and Clara Ziegler, as reported in the reference. Under terms of a partial Decree of Distribution, $70,525.10 has been received. The provisions of this bequest are as follows:
(a) That all of said funds, monies so derived shall be placed in a fund entitled the "ZEIGLER EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION." The funds comprising such foundation and the income and proceeds therefrom shall be used exclusively and solely for the granting of scholarships to students enrolled in the College of Mines at the University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, for the furtherance of their education in mining and metallurgy, subject to the following conditions and qualifications:
(i) That the students granted scholarships hereunder shall be bona-fide residents and citizens of the State of Idaho.
(ii) That the students granted scholarships shall have demonstrated academic ability deserving of reward and recognition with reasonable expectation of their ability to complete their education in the schools of mining and metallurgy.
(iii) That the students shall be needy and deserving as shall be determined by the Regents of the University of Idaho.
(iv) That the students shall be of good moral character and who, except for the financial assistance to be rendered under this foundation, may be unable to complete their education.
(b) The Board of Regents shall exclusively determine what person or persons are worthy of such scholarships and may in their discretion as they elect, make outright grants of financial aid or may make loan grants upon the basis of repayment to this foundation as the Regents deem best under each individual circumstance and each individual case.
(c) The Board of Regents of the University of Idaho shall limit the number of grants of scholarships hereunder to be made to five (5) such grants in any one academic year, PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no more than fifteen (15) of such grants shall be in force and effect at any one given time.
(d) Any scholarship granted hereunder to be retained by a student shall be upon the condition that that student continue to exhibit that academic ability and merit moral standard as were required in his initial qualifications to be the recipient of the grant in the first instance.
(e) I further authorize and empower the Board of Regents to adopt such other rules and standards in the administration of this trust and in the grant of scholarships hereunder as they may deem advisable or necessary, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that said rules and regulations as adopted shall not be in minimization or derogation of those standards here created and shall further be consistent with the intent and purpose of the trust foundation as here created.
(f) If for any reason the College of mines at the University of Idaho ceases to exist, then in such event the Board of Regents shall use said foundation funds and monies for the granting of scholarships in the College of Engineering at the University of Idaho subject to the same conditions and qualifications as herein set forth.
Moved by Mrs. Hay, seconded by Mr. Benoit, and carried that the above bequest be accepted under the terms specified, that future amounts received under this estate be accepted under the same terms, and that a trust fund be established to handle the proceeds from this bequest.
It is recommended that the current contract for Optional Health Insurance for students and dependents be extended for a one-year term at the following rates as quoted by the North Idaho Medical Service Bureau:
Student Only $23.85
Student and Spouse $58.40
Student and Children $51.60
Student, Spouse, and Children $86.15
Student Only $26.30
Student and Spouse $64.40
Student and Children $56.90
Student, Spouse, and Children $95.00
Spring Semester-Present
Student Only $15.30
Student and Spouse $36.35
Student and Children $33.45
Student, Spouse, and Children $54.50
Spring Semester-Proposed
Student Only $16.90
Student and Spouse $40.10
Student and Children $36.90
Student, Spouse, and Children $60.10
The reference indicated that the possibility of changing this coverage and inviting bids by other insurers would be considered. However, the Health Service Advisory Committee wishes to defer such action because of the facts that (a) there seems to be general satisfaction with the present program, and (b) postponing action which might change this program will allow the new director of the Student Health Center to participate in related determinations.
Moved by Mr. Deaton, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that extension of the current contract with the North Idaho Medical Service Bureau at the proposed rates be approved.
Moved by Mr. Deaton, seconded by Mr. Thatcher, and carried that institution of the above mentioned service and fee be approved.
The University's medical insurance program provides for paying 75% of the cost of coverage for full-time employees. They may purchase coverage for members of their immediate families. In accordance with the reference, insurance companies were invited to submit bids for this insurance. Bids were opened on May 22, 1973 and the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company, from whom the University has purchased this insurance since 1956, was the low bidder with monthly rate quotations as follows: single employee- $12.56: employee and spouse- $30.29; employee, spouse and children under age 19- $35.02; employee, spouse and children up to age 24- $37.45.
The premium cost next year is expected to total about $365,000, which will be an increase of about $50,000 over the current annual cost. The possibility of reducing this cost or improving present coverage is being further investigated. This effort will most probably lead to changing the deductible provision in the insurance from $50 to $100 and possibly to increasing the maximum coverage beyond the current $25,000 maximum.
Moved by Mr. Benoit, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that the Bursar be authorized to conclude the above-described insurance contract with the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company and implement the required collections from University employees who wish to participate in this program.
1. Margaret Fosberg- for services during the national swim meet March 15, 16, and 17- $25.00
2. Carol Dahlberg- for accompaniment services for two graduate recitals April 29 and May 9, 1973- $100.00
3. Martin McGrane- for consulting work on the Lewiston Advertising Workshop, May 8- $50.00
4. Ralph Benke- for consulting work on Lewiston Seminars, May 8- $60.00
E. When specifically authorized in advance by a University official permitted to approve travel requests, an allowance of $8.00 per day will be paid to the driver of a vehicle equipped with a camper or towing a travel trailer in lieu of payments for lodging.
It was moved by Mr. Deaton, seconded by Dr. Munson and carried that the item of "7.1 Reimbursement for Travel with Camper or Trailer" be tabled.
Mr. Benoit voted no. A copy of Exhibit XI is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
The newly-revised edition of Robert's Rules of Order (1970), pp. 291-292, provides that an action which conflicts with an unrepealed previous action is null and void. This provision in Robert's has raised doubts as to the official status of some of the recently enacted Board policies related to personnel.
Therefore, to assure that the most recent Board action supersedes any previous actions which may be in conflict, it is recommended that Section 232 of the Policy Manual be amended to read as follows (the added statement is underscored):
232. In the absence of special regulations to the contrary, Robert's Rules of Order, newly revised, shall govern the course of all business and debate so far as it may be applied to the procedures of the Board, except that a Board action which conflicts with a previous action takes precedence and, in effect, amends (in part or in whole) the previous action.
Moved by Mr. Benoit, seconded by Mr. Thatcher, and carried that Section 232 of the Board's Policy Manual for Higher Education Institutions be amended as shown above.
Article VIII. Drugs and Alcohol
The University does not condone or remain indifferent to any act or conduct which impairs the pursuit or dissemination of knowledge or which may be judged to have a deleterious effect upon the academic community. The primary role of the University in handling matters involving the use or potential use of drugs or alcohol by its students is that of counseling. The investigatory, prosecuting and disciplinary roles relating to illegal drug and alcohol use are the responsibility of law-enforcement authorities. However, jeopardizing the academic operation or interests of the University community through drug or alcohol use is a violation of this code.
Sanctions that may be imposed by the judicial system for such a violation range from warning through expulsion (see Article XI), depending on the nature and extent of the offense. Sanctions already imposed by the civil process shall be taken into account when imposing university sanctions.
The above article is again submitted for the Board's confirmation. It is the sincere hope of the Faculty Council that if the Board cannot accept the article as presented, the matter will be returned to the University Faculty for further study, in keeping with the University Faculty's responsibility for the establishment of rules and regulations governing the conduct of students.
Moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that the action of the University Faculty in establishing Article VIII of the Student Code of Conduct, as reported to the Board at the meeting of April 5-6, be denied.
*This transaction results in a net profit of $1,729.20 and allows reinvestment in shorter term maturities at a higher rate of interest.
In referenced action, approval of the proposed budget for 1973 was given. Distributed herewith as Exhibit XIV is the brochure prepared for use in connection with this course, outlining program and staff. (Limited Distribution). A copy of Exhibit XIV is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
For the first time, this year, the University has executed a continuing contract for the purchase of such materials. The amount of the purchases under this contract next fiscal year will probably be between $75,000 and $150,000. The new arrangement will permit the University to place small orders throughout the year at the initial low price. For example, we may buy one case of glassware at the same cost as we would pay for the glassware if we were buying 150 cases at one time, saving 24% of what the one case order normally would be.
We also expect to be able to get better, faster service under the new procedure, and to save about two weeks' time on individual orders filled during the year, since we will not have to go through the bidding process on each of these, and we will also save mailing time in connection with the placing of orders. When our new procedures are fully implemented, orders will be placed electronically and shipped that same day.
VWR Scientific of Seattle, Washington was the successful bidder on this new contract. We are hopeful that the annual savings to the University of Idaho made possible by this new purchasing procedure for securing laboratory supplies, chemicals and equipment will amount to between $20,000 and $40,000. Additional information concerning this matter is shown in Exhibit XV attached. A copy of Exhibit XV is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.

The above reference reported the situation regarding the furnishing and equipping of the new Law Building. As indicated therein, $300,000 was appropriated for this purpose. The Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council originally had recommended that $100,000 be provided, and apparently the Office of the Commissioner of Public Works programmed cash flow available for such purchases on the basis that only about $100,000 would be required to pay for this equipment and furnishings. The Council authorized the University to solicit bids, and they were requested from 70 firms; 42 of those responded with quotations. The bids would have now been evaluated and the cost of the furnishings which the University has requested authority to buy totals $237, 320.47. ($300,000 was appropriated and authorized) We do not feel that it will be possible to get any lower bids on items of similar quality and believe that the items selected constitute a very good buy. There is a need to order these items without delay, since it could take up to 120 days before items are actually installed in the building after they are ordered and because of the need to begin using the new building next fall semester.
On June 1, 1973, the University requested permission of the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council to place purchase orders for the aforementioned items at a total price of $237,320.47. As mentioned above, there seems to be somewhat of a financial problem, in that the Office of the Commissioner of Public Works may not have available sufficient funds to cover completely the needed expenditures if the items are ordered at this time. That office has asked whether or not it would be possible for the University to temporarily carry about $100,000 of the total purchase cost, with the understanding that this money would be repaid to the University by the Office of the Commissioner of Public Works about July 1, 1974.
As explained when the request was made, the University does not have this money programmed either but would have to borrow it in some way. We would not like to have to do this. However, we would like even less being permitted to buy only part of the items now needed for the law building, and being required to go through the bidding and related process again next year for the remaining items. The items are needed at this time and if they are purchased next year, the price will undoubtedly be higher.
Accordingly, authority is requested for the Bursar to work with the Office of the Commissioner of Public Works, and for the University to help with the financing of furnishings for the new law building up to about $100,000, if and as necessary, with the understanding that the Office of the Commissioner of Public Works of the State of Idaho will repay the University the amount so advanced, about July 1, 1974. Regents' authority is further requested for the Bursar to borrow any such needed funds either from internal University sources or externally as is most economical and appropriate.
Moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mr. Benoit, and carried that the above recommendations be approved.
The architect estimates that costs for completing the roof and other needed work on the stadium is increasing at the rate of about 12% per year. A fresh cost estimate indicates that about $2.5 million is now needed to complete the roof and related work. There are several reasons why this work should be expedited, in addition to the increases in costs already mentioned. Among these reasons is the fact that this additional work will permit the facility to be multi-purpose. There is a great need for such a facility in Moscow, particularly during bad weather, because of limited recreational facilities in this immediate area. Also, the present facility is far too valuable to be used only four or five times per year for football games, which is about all of the use which can be made of the facility in its present state of construction.
It will now take about two years to get the roof and end-walls, etc. emplaced, assuming that financing can be arranged. About four months will be required for the architect and consultants to prepare "design/construct" construction and bidding documents. This will cost about $50,000. It will then take about two months to receive and evaluate bids, and about 18 months after that before the project can be completed. This time estimate is not exactly as shown in Exhibit XXI, which is a submission from the architect with related information, but is our current best estimate. By initiating required planning at this time, the enclosed stadium could be ready for use by the fall of 1975. Part of this planning involves the refining of cost estimates.
With specific reference to the problem of financing, we now have about $300,000 invested and from this amount we are requesting authority at this time to contract with the architect for the preparation of "design/construct" construction and bidding documents, with the understanding that this cost will not exceed $50,000. This will still leave about $250,000 which should be more than enough to provide the undersurfacing below the roll-up turf, about which the students in the past have been particularly interested.
As shown on page 62 of the minutes of the Regents' meeting in January, 1972, it was agreed that student leaders would be consulted concerning plans for completing the stadium before expenditure of the above-mentioned $300,000 and that "Funds will be invested in an amount not to exceed $300,000 to be designated as restricted for the purchase of multi-use undersurfacing for the stadium. Prior to the expenditure of any of these funds, ASUI will be consulted." ASUI leaders have been consulted regarding this situation. Because they are presently not on campus, members of the ASUI Senate were telephoned by the ASUI President. There is agreement that planning should proceed as described above.
To save time and money, it is advisable to begin immediately to complete the architectural planning for further development of the stadium. Since funds are available to do this planning without expending funds now earmarked for the multi-use undersurfacing planned in the stadium (which the architect now estimates will cost about $244,200, authority to proceed with this planning is now requested.
Moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mr. Deaton and carried that the Bursar be authorized to sign contracts to expend up to $50,000 to complete "design/construct" documents for the roof, end-walls, and related work for the multi-purpose stadium, as explained above and in Exhibit XXI, with the understanding that, upon the completion of such documents, proposals for financing and completing the stadium will then be reviewed with student leaders and with the Regents prior to proceeding with that development. Authority for the University to initiate a fund-raising campaign to generate donations for the completion of the stadium is also granted, if and when the University President considers it advisable to initiate a fund-raising campaign to generate donations for the completion of the stadium is also granted, if and when the University President considers it advisable to initiate such a campaign. A copy of Exhibit XIX, XX and XXI is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
Approval to take this action for projects (2), (3), and (4) was obtained, as shown on pages 88 and 104 of the minutes for the Regents' meeting on April 6, 1973. Ratification of the contract for masonry repairs, project number 1, is requested.
Moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that the contract mentioned above for masonry repairs on the Life Sciences and Administration Buildings at the University in the amount of $29,100 with the Pioneer Masonry Restoration Company of Seattle, Washington, be approved. A copy of Exhibit XXII is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mrs. Hay and carried that the Board of Regents direct the University of Idaho to pursue the possibility of establishing a School of Veterinary Science at the University of Idaho which would operate in conjunction with Oregon State University and request that the Legislature appropriate $12,000 for a study of this feasibility.
It was moved by Mr. Benoit, seconded by Dr. Munson and carried that the matter of inter-collegiate athletics be turned over to the executive committee of the University of Idaho and be brought back at the July meeting for action. Motion carried. Mr. Deaton voted no. Mrs. Hay abstained.

It was moved by Dr.Munson, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that the aforementioned action to apply for title to the above-mentioned land be ratified.
A copy of Exhibit 8 is on file in the Office of Higher Education as a permanent exhibit.
a. Overcrowding of personnel, resulting in poor working conditions, with no privacy for programmers and systems analysts, etc.
b. Inadequate machine room space, including inadequate ceiling height (minimums of 6'3"), poor ventilation, and no opportunity to install subfloors. Cabling thus currently lies on top of the floor, over which continually increasing numbers of people must walk.
c. Lack of security control which results in great hazard to essential records from possible fire, vandalism, theft.
d. Inadequate storage areas for essential supplies and data records. Supplies are stored in the basement hall due to lack of additional lockable space. Lockable storage areas have no temperature or humidity control which results in deterioration of tape, disk and card records.
e. Inadequate and crowded data submission area.
f. No readily accessible space where students can correct programs and resubmit them. There is no adequate area where programmer consultants can confer with users concerning programming and use of the center.
g. Expanded equipment with greater capacity is needed and is being sought. It would be highly desirable to prepare a new machine room before the receipt of such equipment, rather than to wait until FY 1975 for funding for both the new machine room and the new computer.
Studies have been made to determine how to most economically and efficiently solve the problem of providing adequate space for the Computer Center. These studies have concluded that the area in the Administration Building now being vacated by the College of Law can be made to adequately accommodate the Computer Center. The cost for renovating this area into a suitable Computer Center totals about one-half of what the cost would be to construct a new Computing Center facility. Requests have been submitted for funding from the Permanent Building Fund in the amount of $440,000 for fiscal year 1975 for a complete renovation of the old Law College area for the Computer Center; however, since the College of Law will be moving out of the area about October of this year, and in view of the increasingly critical space problem, with continually increasing computer usage, it is imperative that parts of the Computer Center be moved into the new area this fall, if there is any possible way to permit such a move. The empty space will be available, and, in addition to the problems with the present facilities listed above, there are additional problems stemming from the fact that present offices for Computer Center personnel are disbursed in various areas and in various buildings, and there is a need to consolidate these personnel for increased efficiency.
Through careful studies with an architect and the Computer Center staff, two particularly critical space needs have been isolated. They may be undertaken as special projects, to help relieve the overall problem. The cost estimate for completing one of these projects, providing a new room for the computer, totals $115,000, as shown by the detailed cost estimate attached as Exhibit 10. It must be emphasized that significant hazards are caused by the cramped conditions in the present machine room and the continually increasing usage of the computer. The lack of security control because of the present situation is mentioned above. The opportunities for significant operational problems and mistakes are increased greatly by the heavy use being made of these cramped facilities. The second project involves collecting the professional staff now disbursed in various locations into a new area within the area previously used by the College of Law. This will improve efficiency and provide programmers and analysts more privacy and much improved working conditions. The estimated cost for accomplishing this project is $55,000, as shown by the cost estimate attached as Exhibit 11. The total cost for the two projects is thus estimated to be about $170,000. If provisions can be made to undertake this work at this time, the $440,000 of funding requested in FY 1975 for the preparation of an adequate Computer Center may be reduced by $170,000.
At the present time, the $170,000 requirement described above is not budgeted. However, one way to take care of the bulk of the financing for the above requirement has now developed through Bankhead-Jones funds which have just, unexpectedly, been received from the federal government. A check for these funds for the University of Idaho is now being processed for deposit on July 2, 1973. The amount of this check is $156,575. The additional $13,425 to cover the estimated cost of $170,000 cited above can be obtained by reprogramming funds currently budgeted for other University projects, which are also important, but are less important than this need. Bankhead-Jones funds must be spent at the University of Idaho for certain specific instructional programs. These funds may not be used elsewhere or for research, extension activities or plant outlay projects. However, the $156,575 may be used to cover specific instructional costs which would otherwise have been covered in other ways, thus releasing that amount of budgeted funds for use toward covering the $170,000 requirement. In this connection, attention is called to the fact that the Regents released $157,000 from their contingency funds for FY 1973 to cover the financial shortage caused by the fact that Bankhead-Jones funds, which were budgeted to be received by the University, were not received in time to be used in FY 1973. The Regents' action on this matter is shown on pages 9 and 10 of Regents' Minutes for March, 1973. Jones funds for FY 1973 were received by the University of Idaho, that appropriate allotment adjustments would be made. However, in view of the date of the release of the Bankhead-Jones funds, it is now requested that the University be permitted to use the $156,575, as described above, to solve the emergency condition previously explained.
Concerning the overall, increasingly critical computer situation at the University, the computer is used in connection with the teaching of about 104 courses at the University of Idaho in such colleges as Engineering, Forestry, Mining, and Agriculture. About one-third of the students now graduating from the University are involved with the computer academically during the course of their programs here at the University—the education of engineering students is said to now involve is the number one priority of the College of Engineering. The University is increasingly dependent upon the computer for maintaining student and other records and processing accounting and other administration.
It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mrs. Hay, and carried that ( a) the University be permitted to make use of Bankhead-Jones funds in the amount of $156,575 to fund specific instructional programs at the University of Idaho for which those funds were provided by the federal government, simultaneously, reprogramming the funds previously budgeted to cover such programs, and other projects as necessary to provide funds for preparing a new machine room for the University's computer, and space for the professional staff of the Computer Center, as described above, and (b) the Bursar be authorized to take necessary actions to receive bids and to accept the lowest responsive bids to accomplish this work.

At the end of this fiscal year, the University will still owe $15,933.60 on the IBM 360/40 central processing unit which is now being purchased. As yet, it is not possible to determine exactly how much money we can get for this equipment when we sell it, because of such factors as the fact that we do not yet know for certain when we will be able to release this equipment. However, we might be able to get as much as $80,000 from this sale. (If we do not sell this equipment to an educational institution, we will have to rebate to IBM $20,311 of the amount we get for the equipment, to cover an educational discount which we were allowed.) In any event, in payments made we have saved perhaps $75,000 by buying, rather than leasing, and we are confident that we can now sell this equipment for more than we owe on it. We plan to use these savings to help cover financial requirements of the computer center.
We propose that the time schedule shown below be followed. This schedule is very tight, with little room for slippage, since up to fourteen months could be required to get delivery of computer equipment to be purchased after it is ordered.
July 1973- University prepares detailed bid specifications
August 1, 1973- University invites vendors to submit bids
October 1, 1973- Bids opened
October 2, 1973- November 14, 1973 University evaluates bids
November 15, 1973- Vendor announced and purchase orders signed
July 1974- New system delivered—a new computer machine room must be completed before new equipment can be received. Regents' authority to do this work has been requested.
Funding for new computing hardware, with related operating funds, has a high priority in the University's budget request for next fiscal year. Tentative arrangements have been made for each of the past two years to lease or buy new computing equipment, only to be cancelled as the University's actual financial situation became apparent. Further postponements of the acquisition of computer hardware with increased capacity is not possible, without grave harm being done to the University. As previously reported to the Regents, the University's present computing capability is saturated and unable to accommodate various academic needs. Additional information concerning the computer situation at the University is presented in Item 5.12 with these agenda materials and in the Preliminary Five-year Plan attached as Exhibit 13. (Limited distribution)
The new Director of the Computer Center at the University has been consulted concerning these proposals and he concurs with them. He is not scheduled to report for work until about July 19, 1973, and after he does arrive, we may wish to make some further refinements in specifications for the equipment upon which bids will be requested. However, regardless of any such changes, the University should be able to buy the computing equipment it needs for about $1.3 million. The University's needs for this equipment being requested, and our desire to purchase the equipment, have also been discussed with Mr. Hal Turner, Assistant to the Director of Administrative Services in the State's Department of Administrative Services. He supports these proposals.
We cannot afford to delay any longer the start of the process to acquire needed computing equipment, in view of leadtime requirements and the University's needs, which have been explained. Accordingly, commitments must now be made and actions must now be taken, with the understanding that, one way or another, provisions will be made to cover this requirement in the operating budget next fiscal year.
It was moved by Dr. Munson, seconded by Mr. Benoit, and carried that (a) the University be authorized to solicit bids for computer hardware similar to the equipment listed in Exhibit 13, evaluate bids, and select the specific bids, which will, at a cost of no more than $1.3 million, in the opinion of the Director of the University's Computer Center, most properly and economically fulfill the University's computing need, and that (b) the Bursar be authorized (1) to sign contracts to purchase such computing equipment, and arrange necessary financing internally or externally to repay the purchase price over a period of not more than eight years, with annual payments for equipment of no more than $250,000, and (2) to sell the IBM 360/40 central processing unit being bought by the University, when the new equipment becomes available. Timely reports concerning the status of actions taken under the authority given in this action are to be made to the Regents.

That exhibit is a cost estimate for preparation of an area to be used by the Director of the Computer Center, in accordance with architectural plans which have been developed.
It was moved by Mr. Benoit, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that approval be given to utilize land-grant endowment funds as proposed above, and that the Bursar be authorized to call for bids and accept the lowest responsive bids for a partial renovation of the new area for the computer center as described above, with the understanding that if the low bids for this work exceed the $21,000 cited above, that the excess cost may be covered by reprogramming within the budget for plant outlay projects.

Motion lost by vote of three to four. Mr. Engelking, Dr. Munson, Mrs. Hay, and Mr. Deaton voted no. Mr. Thatcher, Mr. Alford, and Mr. Benoit voted yes.
It was moved by Mr. Alford and seconded by Mr. Benoit that the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho direct the University of Idaho to serve notice of intent to leave the Big Sky Conference on July 15, 1974, and to then assume "independent status," in order to allow retention of the school's traditional university (Division I) classification in the NCAA; that the Board further direct the University, between now and July 5, 1974, to adhere to Big Sky Conference scholarship aid regulations; that the Board at that time re-study athletic scholarship levels at all three major state institutions; and that the Board further direct that all contracts between Idaho, Idaho State, and Boise State College for football games be honored unless otherwise directed by the Board. Motion lost by vote of three to four. Mr. Engelking, Dr. Munson, Mrs. Hay, and Mr. Deaton voted no. Mr. Thatcher, Mr. Alford, and Mr. Benoit voted yes.
It was moved by Mr. Benoit, seconded by Mrs. Hay and carried that Article VIII, Drugs and Alcohol be amended by the addition underlined:
Article VIII. Drugs and Alcohol.
The university does not condone or remain indifferent to any act or conduct which impairs the pursuit or dissemination of knowledge or which may be judged to have a deleterious effect upon the academic community. The primary role of the university in handling matters involving the use or potential use of drugs or alcohol by its students is that of counseling. The investigatory, prosecuting and disciplinary roles relating to illegal drug and alcohol use are the responsibility of law enforcement authorities. However, jeopardizing the academic operation or interests of the university community through drug or alcohol use is a violation of this code.
Furthermore, at the meeting of 14 June 1973 the State Board of Education and Board of Regents of the University of Idaho reaffirmed the board's opposition to possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages by students on the campuses of Idaho state institutions of higher education.
Sanctions that may be imposed by the judicial system for such a violation range from warning through expulsion (see article XI), depending on the nature and extent of the offense. Sanctions already imposed by the civil process shall be taken into account when imposing university sanctions.
Notion carried with a vote of five to two. Mr. Thatcher and Mr. Deaton voted no.

Moved by Mr. Benoit, seconded by Mr. Deaton, and carried that the W.H. "Butch" Boyer Memorial Scholarship in Psychology be established and administered as explained above.
This program should not result in any increase in measurable cost to the University. Provisions can be made for participants in this program to register after regular registration. This way they may be permitted to enroll in classes which are scheduled to be conducted and which have not been completely filled. It is also proposed that each participant in the program (a) furnish evidence of his or her age to the Director of Admissions before entering this program, (b) be charged the standard registration fee, now $20 per semester, to cover costs of related administration and academic counseling, and (c) not be restricted as to the number of credit hours in which he or she may enroll. Very few persons are expected to participate in this program, and adoption of it on a trial basis is recommended.
Moved by Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. Engelking, and carried that the President of the University of Idaho be permitted to initiate or discontinue a "Senior Scholars" program, substantially as outlined above, as he determines to be advisable.
Moved by Mr. Benoit, seconded by Dr. Munson, and carried that the above recommendation be approved.
