President Wells entered into full explanation of the figures presented.
It is believed that provisions have been made in this budget to relieve the tight expenditure situation experienced in the last biennium. Certain routine items rightfully a charge on the general budget have been removed from other funds, and the most realistic departmental budgets possible have been made in supplies and expenses and other expenditures. In addition, salary scales have been adjusted to a more satisfactory position for each rank, with special emphasis on the merit basis of computation for both faculty and staff. Faculty salaries, which were handled on a professional basis in arriving at increases, have been increased overall by 9.7% for ten-months people and 9.5% for twelve-months people, which with retirement benefits equals the proposed 10% overall salary increase. Within faculty ranks, the percentages of increase are shown, as follows:
| Percentage of Increase Within Rank | Percentage of Individual Increase | |
| Professor | 8.5 | 9.8 |
| Associate Professor | 7.7 | 10.5 |
| Assistant Professor | 6.5 | 9.4 |
| Instructor | 6.8 | 8.4 |
The percentage of individual increase is greater than the percentage of increase by rank, because the latter reflects promotions from a lower rank as well as new positions within the rank, to both of which the lower salary rates within the rank apply. For non-academic staff salaries, rate increases of $10 to $25 per month were established, with some additional merit provisions and with particular attention to those persons who have served the University for an extended period. The minimum student pay rate has been adjusted to $1.00 per hour.
Provision has also been made for some increase in staff and instructional positions, and an attempt has been made to bring the library, academic equipment, and campus maintenance budgets to figures more nearly representing the needs of these divisions than has been possible in the last few years. The moving of first-year medicine and dentistry to Indianapolis has been covered, together with costs for establishing the Departments of Medicine and Psychiatry on a full-time basis and for improved nurses' training in the School of Medicine. New items included contemplate beginning an arboretum for the Botany Department, commencing the restoration of Wylie House, and participating in archeological exploration or purchases in this field; some improvement in the financial operation of the University Press has also been set up. Some slight improvement in the staff security program has been provided, to cover a major medical insurance program if faculty and staff wish to vote it, an adjustment of the total disability program to conform with the new TIAA plan for disability allowances, an increase of $300 in the supplement allowances for retired people, the establishment of a $300-per year pension plan for widows of staff within specific categories, and increases in insurance coverages for individuals. Specific recommendations for changes in the group life and accident insurance plan will be presented to the Board at the next meeting.
President Wells concluded his presentation with an outline of policy followed in building the budget for the biennium 1957-1959. The Board unanimously approved in principal all proposals stated in this presentation, and thereafter began detailed consideration of the 1957-58 Budget.
It was pointed out that, in order to provide funds needed over and above the legislative appropriation for the biennium, it is necessary to impose increases in student fees and charges and to raise dormitory and related rates to meet rising operating costs and to cover funding operations. The Board approved this plan but determined that consideration of the budget should be completed at this time, and that specific recommendations for increases in fees and other rates or charges should be presented later in this meeting.
The Board of Trustees went into executive session at 2:45 p.m., which continued until 3:15 p.m.

6.(e) The Vice President and Treasurer presented various matters relative to property transactions, as follows, and actions were taken as indicated:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of Indiana University THAT, in the death of Lloyd Estel Setser on April 12, 1957, the Administration of the
University has lost a loyal member and a gifted and sympathetic friend, and
THAT, the members of the Board join his many friends in this expression of sorrow over
his death. We knew him as a tireless worker for the University, and one who possessed
rare ability in his chosen field of real estate operations. We are fully aware that, in
achieving the great and necessary expansion of the physical plant of Indiana University,
we are largely indebted to his constant efforts, into which he brought a high standard of
personal integrity and full understanding of the vital responsibility placed upon him;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT this resolution be placed of record in our minutes and that
a copy of this record be sent to the members of his family.
WHEREAS, in meeting of November 2, 1956, the Board of Trustees of
Indiana University approved execution of a lease between Indiana University and the
United States of America, Department of the Navy, for lease of certain premises to be
used as the site of the Naval Reserve Electronics Facility at Bloomington; and
WHEREAS, circumstances have since altered and changes in the original lease, as
approved for execution, become necessary; and
WHEREAS, description of the tract of land to be leased to the Government, as described
in Article 2 of the lease, should be changed to read as follows:
The east 100 feet of
lots eleven through nineteen in Block "L" of the Highland Homes Addition, as shown on
the recorded plat of said Highland Homes Addition, to the City of Bloomington, Indiana,
and recorded in the County Recorder's Office of Monroe County, Indiana;
and
WHEREAS, Article 3 of the original lease should be changed to bear effective date of July 1, 1957, with ending date of June 30, 1958, and Article 5 should provide for no renewal of lease beyond the 30th day of June, 1987; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the President, or the Vice President and Treasurer, and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Indiana University, may be, and the same are, hereby authorized, ordered, and directed to execute for and on behalf of The Trustees of Indiana University the latest form of lease presented by the District Public Works Office of the Ninth Naval District, on behalf of the United States of America, covering the site of the Naval Reserve Electronics Facility, Bloomington, Indiana.
6.(f) Notification has been received from Pierce, Gruber & Beam, Inc., lessees of office space in the building at 518 North Delaware Street, Indianapolis, that they will exercise their option to renew the lease, which expires August 1, 1957.
Inquiry has been received from Pierce, Gruber and Beam, Inc., concerning possibility of their constructing an additional story on the building at 518 North Delaware Street, in return for ten-year rental. The Board of Trustees deferred consideration of this inquiry until a later meeting.
6.(g) Discussion has continued with the Indiana State Fair Board concerning the publication of a State Fair edition of the Indiana Daily Student. The State Fair Board has now proposed subsidizing such an edition in the amount of $2,000.00, but it is estimated that cost of this operation on the current basis would be approximately $6,000.00, which would require the University to furnish about $4,000.00. This function of the Journalism Department was discontinued in 1956, and some doubt exists that the expenditure of resuming the operation may be justified. Neither the Chairman of the Department of Journalism nor the Director of the News Bureau recommends the operation on these terms. The Board approved further consideration of the matter and submission of a report at a later meeting.
7.(a) In accordance with action of the Board February 18, 1957, negotiations have continued with George R. Terlep, former assistant football coach, relative to a settlement of the problem of his employment agreement, which terminated on January 31, 1957. Under terms of the letter of appointment, dated August 11, 1956, a disagreement has existed over certain statements concerning notice of termination. Mr. Franklin reported that a settlement of the problem has now been effected. Mr. Terlep has accepted employment with the professional football team of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, effective August 20, 1957, at a salary rate of $7,500.00 payable over a twelve-months period. Until August 20, 1957, monthly payments to Mr. Terlep on the rate established during his term of employment at Indiana University will be continued. For the period from August 20, 1957, to January 31, 1958, the University will pay the difference between his new salary, $7500 per year, and his present salary, $9000 per year, which will amount to $678.08 for the period ending January 31, 1958, for final settlement of the employment agreement. A claim for payment of moving expenses was not allowed.
7.(b) William Orlando Lynch, Professor Emeritus of History, died on March 29, 1957; Robert Elisha Burke, Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts, died on May 11, 1957. The Board adopted the following resolutions by concurrence:
RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of Indiana University THAT, in the death of William Orlando Lynch on March 29, 1957, the University has lost a
sympathetic friend, who, in his active years, was a superior teacher and a wise counsellor
to his many students, and during his years of retirement maintained an abiding interest in
this University, and
THAT, the Board of Trustees joins his many friends in this expression of sorrow over his
death. We knew him as a fine exponent of the art of teaching, into which he brought
understanding for the needs of all his students. His noble character, courage, and
willingness to labor endeared him to students, colleagues, and fellow citizens, and his
influence upon them was great and good; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT this resolution be spread of record in our minutes and that
a copy of this record be sent to the members of his family.
RESOLUTION WHEREAS, The death of Robert Elisha Burke on May 11, 1957, has removed from the emeritus
rolls of Indiana University the name of a loyal, capable, and respected alumnus and
teacher, and
WHEREAS, The members of the Board of Trustees recognize that the University has lost one
who was, in his forty-two years of active service, an excellent and inspiring teacher, a
gifted scholar whose studies in the Fine Arts brought recognition to himself and to our
institution, and one whose high ideals won for him the respect and admiration of his
students and colleagues, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, THAT we, the Trustees of Indiana University, herewith formally recognize
the achievnmerts and the service of Robert Elisha Burke by embodying in our minutes this
expression of loss and of our sympathy with his bereaved family; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the members of
his family.
7.(c) It was reported that the University Library has acquired the Upton Sinclair collection of manuscripts, books, correspondence, and other literary property and art objects. The collection is rated very highly, and will be a valuable addition to the Library holdings. The collection was purchased from Mr. and Mrs Upton Sinlair for the sum of $50,000.00; funds for the purchase were made available by the Research Division of the Indiana University Foundation.
7.(d) It was reported that Indiana University has accepted an invitation to join with a group of leading universities in astronomy, including the University of Michigan, the University of California, the University of Chicago, Harvard College, The Ohio State University, and the University of Wisconsin, in formation of a University group nonprofit corporation for construction and management of a new observatory to be located in the southwestern area of the United States. The National Science Foundation has made a grant of approximately $800,000.00, under which the University of Michigan has been studying sites and developing engineering data for the new observatory, and has made a tentative commitment to furnish additional funds to complete the building in an estimated amount of $3,000,000. It is expected that the National Science Foundation will also provide the annual operating budget for the observatory. Initial deposit of $2,500.00, required from each member institution, has been paid, from funds provided by the Research Division of the Indiana University Foundation, and a preliminary agreement has been executed, with approval of the University attorney. While this project is still in the early stage of development, officials of Indiana University consider that inclusion in this group of universities is an honor and a compliment to the high standard of excellence set by the Department of Astronomy. The Board expressed its agreement with this program.
7.(e) Notification has been received that the Riley Memorial Association has awarded $10,876.00 for continued support of the Audiology and Speech Clinic at the Indiana University Medical Center. These funds, available for the period ending June 30, 1957, provide $2,800.00 for half-year salary of a clinical audiologist and $8,076.00 for equipment.
7.(f) The State Budget Committee took actions in meeting of April 4, 1957, as follows:
Subsequent to the meeting of April 4, the Budget Committee took formal action authorizing the University to restore to the Humanities Building contracts those items which were eliminated in order to bring contract amounts within funds available from the 1955 appropriation.
In a meeting on August 15, 1956, the State Budget Committee approved requests for allocation of funds for Indiana University, as follows:
7.(g) In meeting of January 18, 1957, report was made to the Board of grants by the United States Public Health Service (Department of Health, Education and Welfare) to Indiana University for health research facilities. Advice has now been received that the University will receive supplemental grants from the United States Public Health Service, as follows:
A request from Indiana University for a grant covering additional equipment for the Dental School Addition will be considered at the May meeting of their council.
7.(h) Agreement has been completed with Earlham College for operation of the Earlham College-Indiana University Center, on terms satisfactory to both institutions.
7.(i) The agreement between Indiana University and the City of Bloomington, covering University participation in financing of construction of the sewer line which will serve the north campus area, has been completed to the point of final approval by the City Attorney. When this clearance has been secured, the agreement will be ready for execution.
7.(j) In accordance with instructions from the Board, the University has executed a contract with Indianapolis Redevelopment Commission for purchase of land in its Project F, in the area of the Dental School. The Commission has been notified that the maximum amount of funds available for land purchases for the next biennium is $350,000,00.
7.(k) Mr. Franklin reported that Edward D. James, architect, has at his own expense corrected certain construction defects in the Graduate Student Dormitory and in Married Students Apartments III. The defects apparently resulted from incorrect specifications and design, and Mr. James voluntarily assumed liability. Payments by Mr. James will total approximately $5,000.00.
7.(l) It has been found necessary to relocate two downspouts on the Medical Science Building, at cost of $271.77. The engineers, Ammerman, Davis and Stout, Inc., have assumed this cost, considering the change to be the responsibility of the engineering planning.
7.(m) The committee appointed to determine prevailing wages in connection with construction of Towers Center has made its report.
7.(n) Change orders, approved in accordance with action of the Board on January 18, 1954, were reported:
Mr. Franklin also requested approval for an extra charge of $5,800.00 on the contract of J. D. Jennings Corporation for the addition to the Southeastern Center building at Jeffersonville. The extra covers installation of laboratory equipment which was not included in the original contact. The Board concurred in approving the extra charge.
Change Order BQ-2 has been received from the Hamilton Manufacturing Company, on contract for the Medical Science Building at the Medical Center, representing credit in the amount of $146,558.00. The company has agreed to eliminate the installation of the laboratory equipment from their contract, to allow the University to contract with the installers at a lesser figure.
Change Order 1490-PHV-2 has been received from Hayes Brothers, Inc., on the contract for the Humanities Building, in extra amount of $47,032.00. This change covers reinstatement of the exterior water service and sewers, which were eliminated at the time the contract was awarded on account of limited funds, with the understanding that the work would be reinstated as soon as funds were available. Because of an anticipated increase in pipe prices, it is advisable to reinstate this portion now. On March 15, 1957, the Board approved reinstatement of alternates in the construction contracts for the Humanities Building.
7.(o) The firm of Mittelbusher & Tourtelot, architects and engineers, represented by George L. Bollenbacher, has requested consideration in architectural planning for the University's building program.
7.(p) Mr. Franklin presented a financial report of hospital operation for the months of February and March, 1957. Excess of costs over income for the year to date is $35,683.00, but it is believed that favorable reports for the remaining months of the year will improve this position.
7.(q) The report of examination by Field Examiners of the State Board of Accounts for all units of the University except the Medical Center, covering the period July 1, 1955, to June 30, 1956, was presented. The Board was provided with copies of the special report, together with comments thereon by the Treasurer's Office.
7.(t) An issue of bonds for construction of the underground tunnel system, dated May 1, 1936, matured on May 1, 1957. The issue of $52,000,00 matched a Federal grant of 45% of cost of construction.
7.(s) The District Director of Internal Revenue has advised that Indiana University has been allowed exemption from federal taxes on admissions for fiscal year 1956-57.
7.(t) The Equitable Life Assurance Society has paid $170,003.01, the dividend refund apportioned to Indiana University on the group life and accident insurance plan for the year ending December 31, 1956.
A list of claims paid in 1956, and two cost analysis schedules were also presented.
7.(u) A number of catastrophes have recently occurred, involving University personnel and equipment:
7.(v) As part of the University's fire prevention program, fire drills are conducted periodically in University buildings. To date in 1957, drills have been held in Science Hall, Chemistry Building, Social Science Building, Kirkwood Hall, South Hoosier Halls, Biology Building, East Hall, B & E Building, Owen Hall, Law Building, Maxwell Hall, Wylie Hall, English Building, Swain Hall, Jordan Hall, and the Administration Building. With a few minor exceptions, fire discipline was good.
7.(w) Various matters pertaining to estates in which the University has interest were reported:
7.(x) With reference to action of the board on March 3, 1956, under which Indiana Exchange Clubs agreed to raise $100,000 over a five year period, to be paid to Indiana University for the purchase of the former Zeta Tau Alpha sorority house on Jordan Avenue, it has now been formally agreed that Indiana University will assume responsibility for maintenance and upkeep of the building, in such a manner as not to discredit the various Indiana Exchange Clubs that have contributed to its purchase, and will use the name of Exchange Home for the facility. The house will be dedicated as the Exchange Home on June 30, 1957, and is to be permanently used from that date as housing for children with speech and hearing defects in attendance at the Speech and Hearing Clinic of Indiana University. Should there in the future be occasion to move the activity from the new Exchange Home to another location, the name Exchange Home will be used for the then new location, it being intended that this name and purpose be perpetuated on the Indiana University campus. The Board concurred in approving this agreement.
7.(y) Mr. Franklin presented a report on operation of the postal substation in the University Ticket Office, since beginning of the function on February 9, 1957, showing total income through April in the amount of $7,633.49.
5.(n) A contract has been executed with Blue Cross covering the Medical Center as a participating hospital. Heretofore, for a number of years, an informal agreement has been in effect, but the organization has now requested such contract. The contract shall remain in effect until terminated on ninety-days notice by either party.
5.(o) Mr. Franklin reported on negotiations with the Stagehands Union for the biennial contract to cover the period July 1, 1957, to June 30, 1959. The proposed rates provide for increases in wages for union members employed by the University and for increases in rates in certain areas of operation. Mr. Franklin reported that a few proposals were still disputed, but that agreement should soon be reached. The Board concurred in approving the increased rates as recomended by the University committee and Mr. Franklin for the new stagehands contract.
The Board of Trustees adjourned at 4:15 pm. on Saturday, May 18, 1957, to meet again on Sunday, May 19, 1957.

6.(h) President Wells presented appeals by Robert L. Cowart, a married student living in Woodlawn Courts, and Donald M. Henshaw, from rulings of the Committee on Domicile classifying both students as out-of-state students required to pay non-resident fees in second semester 1956-57. The Board considered the appeals and, in each case, upheld the decision of the Committee on Domicile, confirming the ruling (Hickam-Feltus). However, in the case of Mr. Cowart, the Board requested that, if the facts of the case are correctly represented and the student did relinquish a music service scholarship which had been granted him for the second semester of academic year 1956-57, under the impression that he was entitled to pay resident fees, action be taken to restore to Mr. Cowart the music service scholarship for the second semester 1956-57.
The Board of Trustees further indicated that, should the Committee on Domicile wish to consider the rules governing residence classification of students who are married and who have reached the age of 21 years, with a view to some revision of such rules, the Board will be pleased to entertain such recommendations as the Committee may choose to make.
6.(c) Mr. Franklin reported that charter airplane service is now available for all University use at a reasonable cost, with excellent equipment and insurance coverage at the rate of $100,000.00 per passenger. This service is furnished by Indiana Aviation Activities, Inc., a firm controlled by Dr. Neal Baxter of Bloomington, Dr. Basil C. Pausett of Indianapolis, in cooperation with The Roscoe Turner Aeronautical Corporation of Indianapolis. This service is already in extensive use by the Department of Athletics.
6.(a) President Wells reported that a search continued for an acceptable candidate for appointment as chairman of the Department of Police Administration. This department has been administered by an acting chairman since the retirement of Professor Don L. Kooken. The person presently under serious consideration, Joseph Dean Lohman, who is now Sheriff of Cook County, Illinois, was discussed at length by the Board, but decision was reserved pending the obtaining of more information on this and other possible candidates.
The Board of Trustees adjourned at 12:55 p.m. on Sunday, May 19, 1957, to meet again in regular session on Monday, May 20, 1957.
The Board of Trustees reconvened at 10:15 a.m. on Monday, May 20, 1957, in the Trustees Room of the Administration Building. Present were Mr. John S. Hastings, Mrs. William F. Maurer, Mr. Paul L. Feltus, Mr. Ray C. Thomas, Mr. Willis Hickam, and Mr. Earl B. Pulse. Also present were President H. B Wells, Vice President H. T. Briscoe, Vice president J. A. Franklin, Vice President J. W. Ashton, Vice President W. W. Wright, Mr. D. H. Clark, Mr. R. E. Burton, and Mr. F. T. Reed, Secretary of the Board.
6.(b) President Wells presented further recommendations made by the Building Names Committee, as follows:
Discussion of the recommendations developed objection on the part of the Board for use of a man's name to designate a women's dormitory, and the Board requested that the recommendation for naming of Smithwood Hall be referred back to the Committee for further consideration. The Board then approved all other names, as recommended, subject to securing the permission of Mrs. Fesler for the proposed use of the Fesler name (Maurer-Feltus).
In connection with this report, Mr. Hastings presented a letter of protest received from the Board of Aeons relative to action of the Board in naming the Administration Building in honor of Dr. William Lowe Bryan. President Wells stated that a meeting had been held with the Board of Aeons on this matter and that the protest, which was made without sufficient knowledge of the factors involved, had been withdrawn by the Aeons.
4. President Wells and Mr. Franklin presented the proposed schedules of fees and charges for the year 1957-58, on the basis of which the 1957-58 Budget was prepared. Student fees are based on an increase of $1.00 per credit hour for in-state students and an increase of $1.50 per credit hour for out-of-state students.

The Board was asked to approve specifically the increase in the thesis microfilming fee, from $25 to $30, effective July 1, 1957, since University Microfilms, the contractor for the microfilming work, has increased its charge per thesis. Request was also made for establishment of a fee of $50.00 for the Master-Class Workshop in Voice, which will be sponsored by the School of Music. It was pointed out that all fees are assessed on the basis of the enrollment card as presented by the student.
A tentative schedule of fees for operation of the University golf course has been established. The course, which will be operated by the Department of Athletics, will be ready for play this summer, and the fees range from $0.35 for students on week days to $3.00 for the general public on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, with equipment rental fees to be sufficient to repay cost of equipment and to contribute to the operating costs of the course. It is believed advisable to operate the course on a trial basis for summer of 1957, after which definite fee schedules may be submitted for approval.
Mr. Franklin recommended increases in other rates and charges, as follows:

6.(i) President Wells reported in detail concerning a series of conversations with authorities of Purdue University relative to the situation developing at the Fort Wayne Center. The Board of Trustees of Purdue University recently visited Fort Wayne for the purpose of inspecting possible sites for building development, as a move to enter a cooperative Center arrangement with Indiana University in Fort Wayne. Many phases of the Purdue plan are not acceptable to Indiana University as now proposed, and President Wells has insisted on a bilateral operation from the outset if we are to consider any such program. Mr. Walter E. Helke of Fort Wayne, who was fortunately available, entered the meeting to join in thorough discussion of the problem. It was at length agreed that a meeting will be arranged, probably in Indianapolis, with President Wells and Mr. Helmke representing Indiana University; and President Hovde and Mr. Alfred W. Kettler, member of the Board, representing Purdue University, for the purpose of clarifying the issues involved in the Fort Wayne Center situation. The Board directed that a report be made at the next meeting of the Board.
6.(e) Mr. Franklin presented various additional matters relative to property transactions, as follows, and actions were taken as indicated:
The Board of Trustees adjourned at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, May 20, 1957, to meet again on Tuesday, May 21, 1957, to conclude the business of this meeting.
The Board of Trustees reconvened at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 1957, in the Indiana Memorial Union, with the same members present as in the Monday session, and also President Wells, Vice President Franklin, Vice President Ashton, and Mr. Reed.
Preceding the dinner hour, the Board discussed additional matters relative to the situation at the Fort Wayne Center, and certain miscellaneous items involved in preparation of the 1957-58 Budget. It was suggested that some consideration might be given the retainer paid Mr. George W. Henley for his services as University attorney.
The Board of Trustees noted that the next meeting of the Board will convene on Friday, June 7, 1957, in accordance with statutory requirements.
The Board of Trustees then adjourned at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 1957, to meet again in regular session on Friday, June 7, 1957, for the Commencement meeting.
F. T. Reed, Secretary, Board of Trustees
