1.A. The minutes of the October 19-20, 1967, meeting were approved with minor additions and corrections.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
1.B. President Stahr reported on three meetings he had attended since the last meeting of the Trustees and led the discussion of a fourth item, reported below:
(1) The fall meeting of the Association of American Universities was marked by considerable expression of concern over what effect the new Selective Service law will have on graduate programs and enrollment. The statute and regulations under it are likely to result in the drafting of young men in the upper reaches of the age group (18-26) unless they are engaged in a critical occupation included on a list to be developed by the President and the National Security Council. The present situation appears to be that, while deferments of undergraduate students will be firm until they earn their first degree, graduate students will be vulnerable to induction at any time unless their course of study is in one of the health professions.
Dr. Stahr noted the unanimity of opinion among the A.A.U. universities that the principal results of the change in Selective Service would be twofold: First, the inability of both students and institutions to plan graduate programs for next year unless, when the critical occupations list comes out near the first of the year, all graduate students may be considered to be in an occupation important to the national interest; second, unless graduate students are deferred for a normal time there will be great attrition in male graduate enrollment for some two years with the very real danger of losing a considerable part of a generation of graduate students, and, more immediately, with the possibility of losing the services of large numbers of teaching associates in the middle of a semester, with no way to handle the undergraduate classes which they had been instructing. Other effects of the new law are incalculable. The education field believes a more orderly system would result if a young man were subject to the draft at the normal greaks in his educational progress: i.e., at the end of high school, when he receives his baccalaureate degree, or after he completes his master’s or his doctorate, but not during the middle of any of these stages, particularly if he is teaching.
President Stahr concluded his report of the A.A.U. meeting by informing the Board that representations from both A.A.U. and the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges are going forward to President Johnson and General Hershey pointing out the very serious effect of the changes in the law and urging them to exercise whatever discretion is granted to them by the law to minimize its adverse effects, without specifying any particular way of accomplishing this end.
(2) Dr. Stahr next reported on the meeting of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, where not only did the new Selective Service Act receive attention but where also great concern was expressed over the present state of academic freedom, particularly in connection with incidents., episodes, and occurrences on campuses where relatively small groups have undertaken to impair the academic freedom of the rest of the community.
The Trustees having previously been fully informed of two campus incidents related to such attacks on academic freedom, President Stahr alluded only briefly to them and repeated to the Board his statement to the faculty that the University community must get back to two basic principles: (1) and “open campus” where the principle of freedom of speech includes freedom of listening; and (2) that the use of intimidation and force by one group of the academic community against another is basically destructive of academic freedom itself--it has no place in the academic community.
Following expression by several Trustees agreeing with the two basic principles and approving the manner in which University officials handled both the Dow Chemical recruiting incident and Secretary of State Dean Rusk's appearance at a convocation, Mr. McKinney assured President Stahr of the unanimous agreement and support of the Board of Trustees and their confidence and pride in the administration's actions in connection with this serious problem facing the academic world.
(3) Dr. Stahr next reported on an informal meeting with a committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce where representatives of Indiana and Purdue outlined their plans for the development of the Indianapolis Campus. President Hovde reaffirmed the fact that Purdue would prefer to center its programs in the same campus with Indiana University and their plans are to approach the 1969 legislature for funds to make this possible.
(4) Rose Bowl planning, Mr. Claude Rich, Alumni Secretary, and chairman of the Rose Bowl Planning Committee reported on preliminary planning being undertaken by the University in view of the growing possibility that the football team might be selected to play in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. He emphasized the enormity of the undertaking and the multitudinous details surrounding the two major problems of transportation and equitable distribution of tickets. Committee responsibility for University participation has been assigned to the five groups, as follows: the football team (Athletic Department); the Official Party (Dr. Joseph Ewers); the Marching Hundred (Mr. J. R. Jordan and Mr. F. C. Ebbs); students (Dean of Students Office); Alumni, Faculty, and Staff (Alumni Office),
Priorities in the distribution of tickets have been established with students receiving first priority, and faculty-staff next, conforming to Big Ten rules. Varsity Club members have third priority, followed by members of the Hoosier Hundred Loyalty Club, holders of 1967 season books, and members of the Alumni Association. Since the visiting Big Ten school receives only 15,000 tickets, which is far less than the demand, no blocks of tickets will be sold and each order will be limited to two.
Mr. Rich mentioned another Big Ten rule which requires students to pick up their tickets in Los Angeles. He added that the University-sponsored package tours for students will be arranged by Studentaire Travel Inc., with students staying at the International Hotel and alumni headquartered at the Biltmore Hotel. The singing Hoosiers will provide part of the entertainment at the Big Ten Banquet. Mr. Rich concluded his remarks with the fervent hope that this necessary advance, contingent planning does not jinx the team.
1.C. The Board discussed briefly the recommendations which have been presented to the Joint Metropolitan Schools Policy Committee for major changes in grade divisions of the Bloomington metropolitan school system. Action was deferred until Board members have had an opportunity to study the recommendations, it being anticipated that telephone action may be taken before the next formal Board meeting.
1.D. Vice-President Franklin reported on problems involved in establishing a firm policy on the handling of contract alternates by the University and on steps being taken toward a solution of the problems. A later report and recommendations will be presented.
1.E. Vice-President John W. Snyder presented the following recommendations concerning the checklist policies of the University:
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
1.F. Consideration of this matter was deferred to a later meeting.
1.G. Because of certain difficulties encountered in the administration of the Board1s resolution adopted on November 16, 1962, relative to passenger insurance on charter flights. University officials proposed the recession of that resolution and the adoption of the following:
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
2.A. The following real estate matters were presented in executive session, and action was taken as indicated:
(1) Hillel Foundation transaction. In January, 1965, it was proposed that a building site along the north side of Law Lane be sold to the Hillel Foundation for the construction of a student religious center. This site, containing less than two acres, is located east of the existing tennis courts and west of the site for the proposed Hoosier Halls. Authority was requested to ask the Governor to appoint appraisers and to approve sale of the property to Hillel. The procedure established by statute will be followed for disposal of this ground. As a part of the transaction, the Hillel Foundation is interested in selling its existing center at 730 East Third Street to the University. After appraisals for the new site have been received, negotiations will be conducted with the Hillel Foundation, and then the Governor will be asked to approve purchase of their property.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
(2) Indianapolis properties over $10,000.
(a) Flora Whorton, 430-32 Minerva Street. This lot is improved with a two-story, two-family dwelling. The owner resided on one side, rented the second side, and until his death last month, operated a barber shop in the front room. The option is for $14,000, which is $1,500 and $2,500 higher than the committee's appraisals. However, this is the best price the Real Estate Office has been able to negotiate after a two-year effort, and the only alternative is action in eminent domain. It was therefore recommended that approval be given at $14,000 for purchase of the property.
(b) Russell Raine, 530-532 North West Street. This property, in the Regional Campus development area, is located 105 feet from the corner of North and West Streets, and it appears that University owndership would preclude the development of that corner by an oil company, thus holding it for future campus development. Members of the Indianapolis Real Estate Advisory Committee appraised the property at $18,750 and $16,000, and it has been appraised for taxes at $16,750. The University's option is for $15,750, and it is recommended that purchase be approved at this price. The lot measures 52 feet 6 inches by 127 feet and contains a large, two-story frame residence for two families, being presently owner-occupied.
(c) Angelina Sclipsea, 749 West New York Street. This matter was deferred.
(d) Benjamin Pope, Jr., and Edna Rodman Pope, 334-38 North Blake Street. This property is located in the area of highest University priority, the building site for the first Regional Campus buildings. The improvements consist of a concrete block and stucco commercial building with three storerooms downstairs and five two-room apartments upstairs. The owner operates the Unicorn Tavern in one room and has had a barber shop and variety store in the other rooms. Committee appraisals are $23,000 and $23,500, but the Real Estate Department has had no success obtaining an option close to these amounts. It is therefore recommended that the Trustees exercise an option in the amount of $28,500.
(e) Melvin Jackson, 318-20 Minerva Street. The asking price for this property in the Regional Campus first building site is $19,500. The lot is improved with a two-story, two-family frame residence, with a total of 14 rooms. The owner occupies four rooms, rents out the north side consisting of four rooms, and at the same time rents six sleeping rooms by the week for a monthly net income of approximately $300.00. Mr. Butterworth appraises the property for $14,500, while Mr. Peckham believes a fair price based on income is $16,000 to $16,500. The Special Property Committee has recommended $16,500 as a top price. In view of the immediate need of the property it is now recommended that an offer of $19,500 be made and, failing acceptance, that condemnation proceedings be started.
Items (a),(b),(d), and (e) approved unanimously, on motion duly made and seconded.
(3) Indianapolis purchases $10,000 and under. It was reported that the following purchases have been made in Indianapolis under existing Board authority:
(4) Magee property, 528-30 Broadway, Logansport. It is requested that the Governor be asked to appoint appraisers for the above-listed property since it is determined to be in the best interests of the University to dispose of the property. This is a half lot containing an old, three-story building at the northwest corner of Broadway and Sixth Streets in downtown Logansport, which was given to the University by the Magee family.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
(5) Patton Farm, Sullivan County. The Patton Farm, along the river in Sullivan County, has been leased for a number of years by Mr. William F. Johnson, who now indicates a desire to buy the farm, inasmuch as he has acquired much of the land around it. While the sale would not be restricted to Mr. Johnson, he is by far the most likely buyer. It is requested that the Governor be asked to appoint appraisers so this land may be offered for sale.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
(6) Bradford Woods easement to Sohio Pipe Line Company. Because of the relocation of State Road 67 in the Bradford Woods area, the Sohio Pipe Line Company has presented a new easement for its gas line in this area. The original right-of-way, given in 1939, gave the company a perpetual right to cross the land in a described 80-acre parcel. The new easement provides for the relocation of the line and limits it to a strip 200 feet west of the State Road 67 right-of-way.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
(7) Lease with Outdoor Educational Activities, Inc., Dickey Woods. The lease of the Marcus Dickey property in Brown County between The Trustees of Indiana University and Outdoor Educational Activities, Inc., has been signed by all parties involved. Mr. Fred D. Randall of Eli Lilly Company signed as president of the corporation. The lease is effective December 31, 1967. The Board approved the lease in the May, 1967, meeting.
(8) Sale of fill dirt from Bradford Woods land. The successful contractor for four-laning Highway 67 from its present terminal point to the vicinity of Martinsville, Indiana, has requested that Indiana University sell them fill dirt to be used in this construction. The potential receipt, which is badly needed by the Bradford Woods account, would be in the neighborhood of $25,000. Hopefully, the excavation can be planned so as to leave a desirable lake area property graded to make it both more usable and attractive.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
(9) William Christ, 419 North Jefferson, Bloomington. Mr. Christ offers his property to the University for $23,000. The parcel is 100' x 132', comprising four lots in the Highland Homes area immediately behind Eigenmann Center which will be used in the near future, if not immediately, for parking and road right-of-way for the new graduate student dormitory. The house is a one-story, modern, three-bedroom home in very good condition, totaling 1494 square feet. Acquisition is recommended by Mr. Olsen and Mrs. Nelson, and the price is considered reasonable. Purchase will be made out of dormitory sinking funds, with the cost of repairing the roof, if it is not in good condition, subtracted from the purchase price.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
2.B.(1) The Indiana University Foundation has approved in principle a proposal for joint administration of gifts received by the University and the Foundation, subject to a detailed plan being submitted for consideration and approval by the Trustees. The proposal would permit the University to take advantage of the promotional activities of the Foundation, which can operate more effectively if there is close coordination in receipting, acknowledging, assigning, and depositing gifts received for the benefit of the University under the State's new tax-credit legislation, whether the gift is addressed to the Foundation or to the University. Details of operation of the plan will be submitted at a later date.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
2.B.(2) The following matters concerning employee relations were presented, and action was taken as indicated:
(a) Articles of Cooperation. This matter was deferred to a later meeting.
(b) Staff Council elections. The Trustees noted the memorandum of understanding between AFSCME Local 832, the Indiana University Staff Council, and the Indiana University administration declaring that service and maintenance staff members do not wish to participate in the nomination and election processes for filling Staff Council vacancies for 1968.
(c) Stagehands Agreement. Mr. Clark reported that a Memorandum of Agreement had been signed between The Trustees of Indiana University and Bloomington Local No. 6l8 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada for the period July 1, 1967, to July 1, 1969. The memorandum is similar to those signed in previous years, with only minor modifications updating it. Mr. Clark pointed out that this is not a formal contract but a memorandum of understanding, and that it had been reviewed by University Counsel.
(d) Additional holiday at Thanksgiving. The Union members on the Equal Representation Committee have petitioned the Trustees to set aside Friday after Thanksgiving as an additional holiday for University employees. The administrative members of the Committee did not join in this request, thinking it to be an economic matter and not subject to discussion.
The Trustees agreed that it was too late to plan for such a change this year and asked for information concerning costs to the University, what facilities would not be available under such a plan, how it might affect the Medical Center, and for a review by counsel as to whether such an item is subject to negotiation under the Conditions of Cooperation. Pending receipt of answers to these questions, the Board deferred action.
2.B.(3) Approval was requested of the Higher Education Telecommunications System for the 1967-1969 biennium. The Board, having received supporting material prior to the meeting, was briefed by Mr. Jordan through the display of a map showing what could be accomplished by February 1, 1968, and September 1, 1968, with the $600,000 appropriated provided advance approval is obtained from the Boards of Trustees of the State Universities, the State Budget Committee, the State Budget Agency, and the Governor. The plan has been approved by the Trustees of Purdue University, and following anticipated approval by the other state universities the request would be submitted for the take-down of the balance of appropriated funds for the biennium.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
2.B.(4) In order that accounting reports prepared at Indiana University may conform with requests for information which come from the U. S. Office of Education, the American Council on Education and various regional associations, it was recommended that the Board of Trustees adopt as its policy that the financial records and reports be arranged in conformity with the recommendations contained in the publication, "College and University Business Administration" issued by the American Council on Education with the cooperation of the U. S. Office of Education and regional associations of College and University Business Officers, This is a practice that has been followed at Indiana University since first publication of this manual, and the administration would like to continue to operate on this basis with minor adaptations which must be made within any system to conform to local conditions.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
2.B.(5) Confirmation was requested of the action taken by the Executive Committee of the Board approving arrangements for closed circuit television coverage of the Michigan State and Minnesota football games to be shown in the I.U. Fieldhouse and at the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne campuses. The contract, dated November 6, 1967, is with TNT Communications Inc., of New York, in the amount of $5,075.00, and is on file in the Accounting Department.
Unanimously confirmed, on motion duly made and seconded.
2.B.(6) Mr. Franklin informed the Trustees that the Purdue University Board of Trustees and administration believe the cemetery on the Fort Wayne Regional Campus should be moved. They believe the estimate of $200.00 per grave is high and request concurrence in their getting alternate proposals for the move. Following the discussion, Mr. Franklin was directed to inform Purdue that the Board has no objection to their proceeding to obtain proposals for the cemetery’s removal.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
2.C.(1) Mr. Franklin described optional procedures which are available to the University in lighting the parking lot adjacent to the new Optometry Building. The Public Service Commission will furnish all the equipment at a cost of $910.00 per year; or the University can purchase the lights and fixtures and pay for current cost and maintenance. Original installation under the latter plan is estimated at a maximum amount of $6,200; energy costs would be $330 per year; and maintenance is anticipated not to exceed $25 per year. After eleven years, excluding interest, the University would save approximately $500 per year. It was recommended, therefore, that the University contract for installation of the system rather than have Public Service Company provide the equipment as well as the energy.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
2.C.(2) A close inspection of the two old houses at the Herron Art School reveals that repairs and painting in the approximate amount of $7,000 are needed to put them into satisfactory condition for continued use. It was recommended that these repairs be made by University physical plant staff since the unusual amount of wood repair will require close coordination between the general and the painting contractors. The work will be paid for from funds available in the Herron Art School-General Fund.
It was further recommended that housing for a blast furnace with an estimated cost of $9,000 to $10,000 be constructed on property owned by the Art Association of Indiana, after the proper lease arrangement is made. Funds for the forge itself are available from a federal grant.
A total of $17,000 was approved for these projects, by consent.
2.C.(3) It was requested that the firm of James Associates be approved as architects for the planning of a modern classroom and office building for the Bloomington Campus, presently known as the Learning Resources building. It is anticipated that this building would be one of the pilot projects in the study being undertaken by Indiana University and the University of California for the development of academic buildings, a project to which a member of the James Associates staff has been assigned. Payment for services rendered to the research project by this man will not be duplicated in the architectural contract. Planning funds for the building, which is tentatively planned for the vicinity of the old football stadium, have been approved from the capital appropriation for the current biennium.
Approval of the appointment of James Associates for planning the project was unanimously given, on motion duly made and seconded.
3.A.(1) Vice-President Sutton presented the recommendation for appointment of James Edwin Randall as Professor of Physiology and Biophysics in the College of Arts and Sciences (with tenure) beginning on September 1, 1968, at an initial salary rate of $17,000.00 payable on a ten months' basis.
The salary for the above appointment is as provided in the budget.
In connection with the recommendation for appointment above, Dean Sutton presented the following statement:
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.

(4) For Ronald Stanley Ping, Associate Professor of Oral Surgery in the School of Dentistry, change of his administrative title from Acting Chairman to the Chairman of the Department of Oral Surgery, effective December 1, 1967, with no change in his salary rate.
(5) For James E, House, Associate Professor of Prosthetics in the School of Dentistry, change of administrative title from Acting Chairman to Chairman of the Department of Prosthetics, effective December 1, 1967.
(6) Recommendations were presented for the following appointments in the Research Center for the Language Sciences, effective the date of the Board action, for the period of three years:
(7) For Arthur Leslie Drew, correction of the title which was approved for him at the October, 1967, Board meeting. The title should read: Coordinator of the Indiana University Mental Retardation Program.
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
3.D. The following recommendations were presented:
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
3.E. The following resignations were presented, along with recommendation for their acceptance:
Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.

Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.
4.B. Under a prime contract with the U. S. Office of Education on the topic of dangers in smoking subcontracts have been signed with the following radio and television stations for preparation of specialized television programs for Indiana University:
4.C. Confirmation was requested of the addenda completed to the master contract between Indiana University and the Indiana University Foundation on research contracts and grants received during the month of October, 1967, as shown in the meeting agenda.
Confirmed by consent.
4.D. A list was presented of special purchases which have been made by the University for which normal bid procedures were not practicable, along with recommendation for their confirmation. Details of each purchase are included with the Board papers for this meeting.
Confirmed by consent.
5.A.(1) A letter has been received from the Office of the Auditor of State requesting that Indiana University refund $63,162.87 to the Treasurer of State to clear an overdraft in the Petroleum Severance Tax Fund, Indiana University serves as the State's fiscal agent for the Geologic Survey of the Department of Natural Resources. The budget for the Geologic Survey is prepared by the Department of Natural Resources and the appropriation is made to that Department, Indiana University merely serves as the agent for purchasing, accounting, and personnel administration and has no knowledge of what is received by the State in petroleum severance fees. The auditor of State has been so informed, and no further word has been received. Operation of the Geologic Survey will be restricted by a new policy of the Auditor which establishes that no funds will be transmitted to the University for the Survey until a current overdraft of $8,357.81 is cleared by receipts in the severance fees account.
5.A. (2) Insurance settlement in the amount of $399.00 has been made through the Bloomington Metropolitan Schools to the University School for loss of Spanish teaching materials in the Central Junior High School fire last spring. The materials were on loan from the University School; and the settlement was for the full value of their cost.
5.A.(3) It was reported to the Board informally at the Fort Wayne meeting that Purdue University had sold their current bond issue at a rate of 4.71. Indiana University's two large upcoming bond issues, the Library and Eigenmann Center bonds, are due as follows:
So far as is known, there will be no problem on renewing the notes. A later report will be given.
5.A.(4) Copies of the portfolio analysis of securities owned by Indiana University in all funds and trusts as of June 30, 1967, were distributed to the Trustees. The report is filed with the papers for this meeting.
5.A.(5) The contract between Indiana University and Purdue University for the Program in Clinical Pharmacy was reported at the October, 1967 Board meeting. Dr. Kenneth E. Penrod, Provost of the Medical Center, distributed a further report on the background of the program and the pharmacy resident plan at Medical Center hospitals. The report is filed with the papers for this meeting.
5.A.(6) Plans are being developed for the installation of temporary sidewalks on the south side of Seventeenth Street leading from the student housing area to the field-house 3 hopefully to be ready for the major part of the basketball season. The walks will be placed to allow for future widening of Seventeenth Street; and investigation will be made of the possibility of installing lighting along the walks.
5.A.(7) Bids for construction projects, formerly received in the office of the Vice-President and Treasurer on behalf of the Board of Trustees, are now being received by the Physical Plant at the Service Building. The Board will continue to receive reports of all bids received, following the practice that has been used for some time.
5.A.(8) Mr. Franklin presented a summary of methods used by Big Ten schools for financing the one-ninth matching funds for government and United Student Aid student loan programs and gave a detailed account of Indiana University's methods. The Indiana University Foundation financed long term loan programs from their inception until February, 1965, when the Board authorized other financing. Since that time approximately $558,000 has been borrowed from banks and $59,956 from the Loss and Breakage Fund for United Student Aid Fund Reserve Account deposits. As of November 3, 1967, University reserves had been increased by repayments enough to process all but 20 of the loan applications; and it is anticipated that these loans should be processed very shortly. Other methods of financing the loans are being considered by the Congress and the United Student Aid fund and will be reported to the Board as they develop.
5.A.(9) President Stahr reported on the following matters which were acted on at the November meeting of the Indiana University Foundation:
5.A.(10) Copies of the North Central Association accrediting report to Indiana University were distributed to the Trustees and are on file with the papers for this meeting. The report of the visit of the accrediting team and their comments on the University have previously been reported to the Board.
5.A.(11) Suit was filed in behalf of the Trustees to collect on a hospital bill. The defendants, Glenda and William Koontz, have filed a cross-complaint alleging injuries due to negligence of Long Hospital. The University's liability insurance carrier has assumed responsibility for the litigation.
5.A.(12) Funding under Title III (Higher Education Act) is given to developing institutions for specific programs in cooperation with large universities whose expenses are paid by the developing institutions from the grant, Indiana University is cooperating in the continuation of the Stillman College program, in a new program with North Carolina A & T State University in the teaching of English, in a new proposal with St. Benedict College, Ferdinand, Indiana, for general assistance in their development, and in a proposal to continue work begun by Professor Ray Gibson through Parsons College with Ouachita Baptist University, Arkadelphia, Arkansas, in the field of education.
5.A.(13) Financing has been continued for the construction of additional student facilities at Read Center by the execution of a loan agreement with the Indiana National Bank dated November 2, 1967, in the amount of $350,000 at an interest rate of 3 ½% and due one year from the date of execution. The original loan was $500,000, and principal payments have reduced the outstanding balance to $350,000 as of November 2.
5.A.(14) Mr. Franklin reported that the request to the Governor, State Budget Agency and State Budget Committee for the planning of additional construction at the Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne Regional Campus to encompass needs for present enrollment and future increases to 1970 lists an amount of $9,237,000. This represents a downward revision of approximately $63,000 from the earlier estimates approved in the October 19, 1967, meeting, (Item 1.J.). Planning will be done by architects Walter Scholer representing Purdue and A. M. Strauss Associates representing Indiana University, as previously approved.
5.B. The following estate matters were reported for the information of the Trustees:
