Hayden and ladies and gentlemen , you may not believe me when I say I welcome this opportunity to talk to you . I might also say, except for the three weeks when I was sick at home or in the hospital, we perhaps would have had such a meeting at my call rather than at your request . These young men came over the other day and we sat there and discussed some fifteen proposals that they had listed which they brought to my attention ...• ! think it only fair to say that they were first listed as demands . I believe I made it abundantly clear--we don't deal with demands, if we were ever inclined to do it at the first time that they had been heard. You know on July first sometime about twelve o'clock in the day, I will have completed ten years as president of this institution. There are a great many things ahat I have to be proud of---but I don't believe there is anything, really, that I am prouder of than the fine relationship that we've had from the very beginning--throughout the time tht I've been here--with the black students who come to our campus . in 1960, when I came here we had enrolled that fall ten black students, I recall quite well that they were here most of them in town, as I've told you on other occasions, "This is a . very well and good, of courrse you know they can't live in the dormitories and you can't recruit them and give them financial assistance . " In 1960 we did not have even any members of the athletic teams . A young man came, I think that fall, and was the first young man to play on our athletic teams. ten to 20 to 39 in 1962 I have seen this group increase in size from 1960 from �I fall to 134 to 163 to 224 to 301 fe±±ewiag a year ago and 367 this last fall, but unfortunately that number dropped the second semester to 341 . from ten to 341 So that if we are talking about this seme ster indicates the situation that I think is indicative of the kind of treatment we have tried to give students . It was in 1963 that our Board of Regents passed an order , at my recommendation , which said that neither race nor creed nor color should be a criterion for participation in any program at Eastern Kentucky University and since that time we have repeated that statement I suppose 250 times as we have made application for financial assistance . That is thepolicy of our Board of Regents, that is the policy of this institution and we have always tried to make that clear . I think almost without exception that we are now in a situation where black students are participating in all activities of the n't University or in practically all of them. And I would/say in this same amount of time that we have not been niggardly in the idea of the assistance that we have attempted to give to black students because this year while the students represent 4.7 percent of the enrollment here at the institution we have found of this enrollment of 367 during the first semester 48 . 3 were receiving financial assistance and this is not just token assistance because the average financial assistance being given this year, the average (Jlind you, is some 764 dollars as compared to white students who are receiving assistance to slightly over 400 dollars. And so in that matter we have not in any sense tried to restrict but tried to encourage and that will be the a,ttBtude of our Board nn.d th~ attitude of eur B-ocrrn and the 4 ttitude of everyone here at the institution. If anyone does not have that attitude, I do not know about it and, of course, I do not condone it nor does our Board of Regents . I give you this only as a background for a discussion now of some 15 proposals which were brought to me and which we discussed Friday morning and which for that matter I was quite willing to come into the auditorium and talk with you but the committee told me they preferred that we come over here Monday evening since more of you if not al l of you could be here. This recording is being l\ �made because I do not think I have said anyting that is more significant or I hav, said anything that I do not want to be misunderstood in any way than what I am ing say/to you now. I shall now go to the proposals. And I go to proposal number one. Now this proposal presents difficulty because I think that what is understood and is, of course, that it has not been full understood the difference in misdemeanor and felony. Now we know that a felony requires ed a pentitentiary sentence but we also know that there are perhaps more dismissals feF misdemeanors than felonies and those misdemeanors can involve rather serieau: conflict and very serious violation of the law and we do not have a court on this campus as such . ::fO 1/tfft..y We havejeniy a disciplinary board and we are not qualified to sit as a court nor do we propose to sit as a court . This matter of misdemeanor covers everything even in the matter of thievery up to $100 If you had a peeping Tom out here peeping into your window it would cover that situation if someone went berserk and stripped off and went running down through your dormitory that would be a misdemeanor. If someone proceeded to disrupt this campus it would be a misdemeanor and so I don't think the term we want to use or can use is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony because while we have a security force which is here for your safety and security by the same token the laws which apply here on this campus apply everywhere else in the stat ~ and not only does the city police in this town have a right to arrest for violation of the law on this campus but also the sheriff's department has that same authority and also the State Police have the same authority and so that would be~tuation in which we could not deal with what they would do so what I am doing about no . 1 and I have discussed this at some length with Dean Myers who is as you know Dean of Students and has the responsibility in this area and we want to define as carefully as we can those offenses which are offenses against the university that we can deal with rather than of course have someone involved in the arrest which would take them into police court or elsewhere. �However in all fairf ness as I told the committee I must say to you , the movement in the country among students everywhere is to say that the University should not concern itself with the violation of law but rather anyone who violates the law should be arrested and taken into the t proper court for that arrest . We have acdepted that thesis on this campus as it concerns any violation of the law off the campus with the exception that we don't want to ~ tae- eiya with those people who violate the law off campus whose presence on the campus would present ~~ that be a danger . off somehwere else . campus and came on this We think a I refer to dope peddlers I refer to a rapist I refer to anybody who commits a crime off campus who would present a threat to this campus . dope peddler is not going to change his spots , if he peddles dope off campus he is going to peddle dope on campus . Dean Myers pointed out to me that we already deal with these and we can find others that we could that we could deal with, one that he mentions is the specify possession of alcohol when it is a matter determined by our staff then of course the assistant dean of or students deals with them throught the student disciplinary board . But I want to say to you that when you talk about a misdemenaor if a group of students decides to disrupt this campus they would perhaps be guilty of a misdemeanor but of course we would not attempt to take them before a student disciplinary board but rather their very disturbanceon the campus would make it necessary to call in other groups which would remove Of course that is what we would do . the disruptees from the campus . But I think I have said all I can say on that other than to say that we are sympathetic with your v~ft±~t about it and we are going give further attention to it . Proposal number two is we propose an investigation of faculty rea8j- prejudice against black students . as I have named today a outstanding men as we have on our campus . faculty committee and I chose Dr . Lane, as chairman, Dr . Robert Byrne over at the College of Education Dr . Cecil Orchard in the Social Sc . Dept. Dr . Robetf Brown over in Commerce, I think he is in accounting and Dr . Keith Algier and I want now Mr . Hayden I want them this afternoon �that you would contact them and they will arrange a meeting in which you can present you and all this group can present any evidence you have against any person on this campus who has shown prejudice against black students and they are to give me a report before the close of this semester about what they have found and wha ~they propose to do concerning it . Dr . Lane is the chairman of the depart . of Math and his office is in the Roark Bldg . All right, we go on now to number three - we propose more black faculty members be recruited by the adm. and also hired. Well, I want to say and while there are not as many as we think there should be and not as many as there will be we I thought did a right good job last year in which we brought in some five or six additional faculty members and of course we are continuing to do that . Now I don't think you will believe this as I find sometimes disbelief but the most difficult people to employ who are qualified to teach in college and that requires at least the Master's degree are black teache -sand it is an extremely difficult thing . As I have said to you onother occasions the person who is the most fortunate man in America today is the young black PhD . or uni~rsity because he can go to any colleg~in this nation ef-AmeFieaa and receive 5 or 6 thousand dollars more than a white professor with the same training . But that is neither here nor there we have turned now to a different situation we have said to ou4'eople we want you to look at promising young men and women who are now on our campus and then when they have finished their four years we hope to arrange for them a graduate assistantship on our faculty immediately from our own ranks that is an opportunity for you and others. But on the other hand we still are going to give attention to this and certainly I am not going to be satisfied about this number and I wouldn't be especially satisfied then until we approach about 5% of our faculty, about 5% of our faculty now would ,.P. tankly be around 25 and we have a far piece to go but othErs have farther to go some other institutions have one . I saw one of institutions down at Murray the other day they just hired their first one and were around bragging about it-- �I don't know what there was to brag about--but we are going to do that and move ~ a s r api dly a s we can a t lea st to that poin t . Of cour s e we all ho pe the time will come in this nation tha t this will not necessily be a criterion because I can see that this field of educa tion has always been a tremendously the people rewardmng one for black people/who are t ra ine d there have always been mo re jobs in this are and more opportunity than perhaps there has been in others . The 4th proposal¢ has to do with black administrators . Frankly we do not have any vacancies in that area now but we have already chosen a young man who is given a graduate assistantship who will be attached to my office one of your group who will take --year be f ore last we had Bob Tarvin- this year we have Skip Dalgherty, and this young man will be the third to be chosen and as soon as he completes his Master's institution Ne will ask him to remain at the of the administrative ~ff here degree here a t the institution and become part at the institution . No . 5 the proposal is that there be a curriculum that wil ~enable one Bachelor of Arts to attain a B. a . degre e in Black Studies . MoE than a year ago I appointed ,. a committee I thought of the highest level matter . I suppose they got busy done very much . in the matter of~ in;'1with this with something else and they have not About a week ago to seer hat had happened and I ~ into see one of you - a young lady was there , I do not recall her name she wa s in there for the same purpose . a call saying Last Friday when you were out in the hall I got when the members had been a sked to give would be forthcoming . reports this report Of course this is a matter for this committee and when it comes I want to say to you it has to go to the Council on Academic Affairs just like any other academic program and then to the facu ~y Senate and to the Board was of Regents . It was really/no f ault of mine except that I did not get back and gouge as often as I should have urging that a report be made . But such a report will be forthcoming based on that report we will see where we a re insofar as your proposal number 5 is concerned . �Six . We propose that 2 or more black cherleaders be added to the squad . I want to s ay that I am at least a year ahead of this proposal because last fall when there weren' t any I started saying immediately at that time and was told the tryout and then I have they did not come out for still have had this repeated to me since I have been here' but I have made it very clear to Dr . Warren who is kthe director of School Health , P . E. and Ath . that since it their responsibbility and I charge you girls who are interested in being cheerleaders now it may not be that any of you want to be cheerleaders and we are not going to makeyou be one--we have no intention of making anyone be a cheerle ader-but they are to reserve two places and will have tryouts it will be in order to get two of eight cheerleaders from your group . And seven we propose that 5 or more black drill team members be added to the~ quad, I thought that there were more I was told by the committee there is only one . There certainly is no reason why there shouldn't be more than one and again I was told there if you are interested in it was a lack of inter~ t in it. And again/you can't be made to participate but on the ether hand they say they are anxious to get participants and next fall we without any doubt when the drill team is organized I hope that we have enough ~nterest and I am going to see if we have the interest that we have 5 or more black drill team rrembers on that squad . Next we come to a problem my shoulders are broad my back is little heavy and it gets a little tired as I get closer to retirement but on the other fore erything _.i-:...t'f~ around here but as you say I have a moral responsibility responsible I am sure and that is we propose a thorough coverage of black sponsored activites be provdied by the Progress and the Milstone. I said to the committee and I repeat to you there are two ~R'1'S a8.£ of censorship one form of censorhsip what they must print and the other form is telling them what they must not print and one form is just as bad as the other . This dog will not die or will not lie on this campus but·n ten years to my certain knowledge no one has ever told the Progress what to print and no one has told them what not to print and the same thing applies to the Milestone . and I'll take the Milestone first, ave talked with Dean Feltner about this and I am anxiously awaiting the Milestone and generally I have been quite pleased I'll have to admit tha o~~year I was not quite �1 pleased with it but it didn't iook as bad thirty days later and I just said well this too will pass, but I have always been very proud of the Milestone with that possible exception and I have said Mr. Hayden that when the Milestone comes that if you will get you or your many group,a small group e~~ because I don't think we can/work, we will open the Milestone and go through it page by page and see whether or not there has been an~ ffort to be fair in it and the satisfaction you may have from it . all right with you Dean Feltner? Bill, is that all right? That is the best I can do about that . Then that is Now so far as The Progress and Milestone is concerned I do not choose the editor or staff of either one. One of the best ways to see what goes into either one is for you to get on the those. I was told by Mr . Feltner that there was some feeling tha maybe the same attention membership on the staff of had not been given to the application to the ~~~~~ for/£Re-Miles£eRe-as-Raa-eeen the Progress and the Milestone aRa as has been other groups and if that is so if that is then of course a valid criticism/I want it ceased as violating our basic tenet which says that is not a criterion nor shall that be a criterion . We, I have one other th~ing that I can do other than what I have told you--when you get ready to choose the editors for next year's Milestone and next year's Progress, I hope that you will~ that I am invited to that meeting of the Board of Student Publications so that I can say to them what the policy of the administration her ~is and the policy of University as I know it is and to see in such way that it wil not be interpreted as censorship but rather that it be as a philosphy that is expressed. and am qm That I propose to do anxious to do and if this is a valid critcism then I am glad it has been brought to our attention . Dean Feltner-----All right, let's go to number nine and ten . and the other one has to One of them has to do with black lecturers do with black entertainers and the suggestion is each that in the matter of choosing black lecturers and in choosing black entertainers that this group be given what amounts to a veto over the cho i6e of them. set forth there because we cannot do that for other I cannot agree with the premise organizations, if we gave out this right to veto this one or that one or the other one we would never be in a position wherewe we could decide on an entertainer or we could decide on a lecturer but what I have said and I intend to do it and while they have not finished in brining the report they are working on it �that wi ll not be of great difficulty . If any of you are nurses or if you know of any nurse we can hire we of course have no restrictions on rac ,e or anything of that nature concerning nurses. I do wan t to say and I talked to you about the little space there in the basement of Sullivan Hall we have a building planned the plans we hope will be approved in Washington in June which would build a school of nursing and a new student health service section in that spot over i r\f ront of Commonwealth Hall or across the road from where~he new building entirely is going up it will be a a three story building with one story being given over1to student health ser1vic~,there are spaces there, Dr . Rowlett, for what--four or five doctors in every paeticular and of course adequate spaces for nurses in that it will be modern /particular . I mention Dr . Rowlett, Dr . Rowlett is the one who is helping us get the money in ashington and we hope to get about fifty percent of the cost of this building which will rutjbetween a million and a half and two million dollars. That is all we can say about that except we are as committed as you are to assistance and improvement in this area . I am confident that we will reach it . No. 12. WEfropose black officers be added to the campus security. Before I met with the group without me having any knowlege they were coming, I had a second confe~eaee versation one of your group with one of the young man we have on the campus/ I Had already several weeks ago had Sidney a first conversation with him and is Sidney Yeldell somewhere back there and this is going to start just as soon as summer as this semester is over ow beginning summer school. I thought that he maybe had all his ducks in a r.w0 finish up he will stay and take a Master's degree the first semester and then I hope but he says he has to do some work to in law enforcement and kI commend that course to you to any and all of you for just as a young Ph.p has a great demand thereare tremendous demands for trained enforcement and anyone with an A.B . degree in law enforcement an M.A . degree can just pick his own job in the various people in law anyone and certainly/with places across the campus, I mean across the nation . Number 12 B you talk about a black student on the screening board, we don't have a screening board as such but if we should ever stablish one to naming a black student to it . I have no objection whatever As it stands now it is a matter of the chief security officer and vice Pres . Powell making recommendations to me which go to the Board of Regents · �a very strong board the University=Center Board which is going to be/one of the strongest boards on this campus because it will have the responsibility for all of these activities in the futmEe and of <Durse they are going to have this magnificant building--! don't know if you see it coming up out of the ground or not-- it is the most expensive building iR-aFeRiteetHFal-and the aesigRea-maRy-ef-them-architect who has designed many of them says it is the most beautiful one he has designed, there is going to be plenty of room there,spaces for lectures, for entertainment, for sports and all that type of thing but the responsbility for that entertainment campu ~ ise, lect~ s campus-wise, student activities campus-wise and all will go into under the direction of this University Center Board and I have said to them that will confer with you and choose an outstanding black student as a member of that UCB and we will also choose a black member of the faculty as a member of thst Boord and I don't think I will not have a right to veto or censor what they do or say but if this is a problem BHt or if this presents a problem then of courxe we will give further attention to it . coming to number 11-- we propose full-time doctors and nurses in the infirmary . You there have put/your finger eReFe on one of the most difficult probelmes we are faced with . When I came over here and up to two or three years ago we had one doctor downtown who came up here on Wednesday afternoon and that was ourentire health service . Until we were able to get one doctor that we have and we have last year we were at the point of hiring a second doctor they are in grat temperamental. demand, they are very expensive and they are very We tried to get this fellow to agree to work until eight o'clock at night and it queered the whole deal so far as himcoming here to be the doctor of the campus. We have here in our budget moneys for a second doctor and of course we shall continue to look and seek and try to find a second doctor. We have, of course, over there a gentlemen who comes over one day eF a week as a psychologist or a clinical psychologist comparable to a psychiatrist and we had hoped we would have two of those except that the two we talked to wanted to come the same day and we do not have enought room to whip a cat in anyway as you know and I did not think it would serviee serve much purpose to have two psychiatrists the same day and of course ended up with just one . We have four ull-time nurses over there and it is our hope to have one additional nurse and will be, of course, in the budget will �/0 Now that's 12, on campus. give 13 that the University/more financial support to black activities . Ihave mentioned to you already about the University Center Board We have an appropriation which will go directly to that aBoard which will be to assist variousorganizations on campus especially the organization which haBe not found ways of developing their own financial resources . and that will be available but this is a qu4stion 13 is a question that will of necessity be directed to the University Center Board . Then we go to 14 we propose that moneys be for the recrutiment of black students. by the BSU in order to include some kind approriated under the akspices of lthe BSU The budget will be submitted to the University this financial assistance. Well I think that we have of problem here that maybe I ought to discuss with you . The great Universities of the nation like Harvard and Yale, Cornell, Columbia all thegreat univr=esities have very restrictive admission qualifications . At this institution as shown by our growth we are an open university, in fact all you have to do to come to this university is to to complete high school and present a high school diploma. Now you don't always have to that beccause many veterans have been admitted to the insitution based on the GED test mich they have taken and the amazing thing is that some of them have been quite successful I don't know all the figures and so it is not the same problem as you have in other instances. We have two groups on campus that are responsbile for recruitment . First the admissions edifice office and it has been separated from the Registrar's/so that more attention can be given to admissions and second Mr. Pryse' office which is a matter of viBiting the high schools . Now we are not going to set up a third recruitment office but I am asking both Mr . Ambrose and Mr. Pryse to find arrangements qhereby you can go with them to the various high schools and do all that you can in recruiting black students here for Eastern . Don't think while we talked about 341 here this semester I think you would beinterested in knowing lthat as of today we have already accepted 109 black students for next year . As far as I know there has not been a single black student who has applied to this institution in ten years unless he had been to some other institution and failed out who has not been admitted and so the real problem there of r ecruitment is not the same in an institution like this with opne admission as it is in other instances. I think I have already given you the da concerning �/I fianancial assistance which shows I believe that we are doing every favor that we know how in help ing black students come here and meet their financial obligations . Almost half of them are a s I said are receiving financial aid and the average financial assistanCEis $764 . Our problem I think is perha ps of a different kind of thing rather than of admiss ions in that so many times we find that students have difficulty in doing college work after they are admitted . And so thisyear we did and some of you this year may be a part of one o f one or the other of these programs . We set up two programs , and we went back throgu the ones who had not done the kind of work we hoped they would do last year aRa in order to continue . We set up first a learning laboratory and we have there a staff Mrs . Ann Algiers is director mf it she has a staff of counselors that are both black and white aRa working with her and of course I have not gotten a report as to how successful that program has been but that of course I think is the kind of program that could be helpful . to anyone of course who needs it . The other program was matter of getting Mr . Clawson , Dean Clawson and Hean Sexton working with others who perhaps had certain kinds of skills and permit them to come and go into some of the othercourses which were not so demanding academically with the understanding that of course after they completed two years they might very well want to go on to the other two years. No. 15 is we propose that all the previsously mentioned items be eRacted upon immediately that is within the next week and be in effect by the nextschool term September 1970 . I think I have responded to these 15 proposals which have been made I think also I can assure you that to the extent that is possible and some of these for instance if we are oing to be talking about 25 black faculty members that is/something that is going to need to do over a period of time . If you are talking of course about cheerleaders that will be a matter if whenever they are chosen or certainly before the football season begins . The same would have thing of course goes for the other propositions which are of a continuing basis . It aas given me a great deal of satisfaction if I could have s a id without any equivocations to everyone of your proposals . I do . I don't find them eXjrreme However, I think there are some things that perhaps Jtes" and on't want anyone to think are a matter of philosophy that we didn't agree upon and some things that we were not in a position to accept as bestfor the institution and !think nothing is best for the institution unless it is indirectly best for you. 11 �That's concludes my formal remarks, Mr . Hayden. But I stand now ready , well first I want to ask the committee if there is anything I said over there the other day that Q. I fail4d to mention because i Asked them to remind me if there were any . That was not included in these 15 but the request was made that we take what was the old card room in the Student Union Building and make it into an office for the BSU. I did we wantto begin not find that I could accept that because very sooi for the renovation of that building and it is ready for another which we renovated onece since 1960/because it is an example of a building that was built for a thousand kpeople and of course now somehow it is trying to serve 10,000 and of course we have further work but in the new University Center that is now under cconstruction there will be meeting rooms now these meeting rooms will serve more than one organization We have a system worked up whereby the material in a meeting room can be filed and another organization can then go on and use the room . But I did say to these young men and I repeat to you we will have an officein that building that you can call your Black Student Union office and that is a commitment which I make to you . All right Q-------- The University Center Board. Q----All right. Then I want to repeat that commitment which I made. Not only will I see that there is named to the University Center Board a black student and a black professor but when it is organized next fall I will meet with them and I will emphasize the fact that we do not on this campuswant any prejudice or discrimination against any group and will also convey to them, now the other day I found that you did not object so much to the fact that we have had black entertainers, you said we had not had very up to date black entertainers and I have already told the chairman of that boardbut when the new board and they are doing a study now and it has to come to the Board of Regents to finally give it the authority to act. When that new Board is organized then I will meet with them and will re-emphasize this part of it. Q. Mexico Yes, All right Well you get over there and make application and get on this paper and get these things in there. �That's the way to do it . And yes Q----without saying Mr. Hayden is brining out something that I r3ferred to aeeHt specifically the committee thought that when applications weremade if they got to the bottom of the file and never were acted upon. Of course if that is the situation that is something we don't want to see happen again. Q-------Well, we -if that kind of thing. Let's look toward the future if we will. there is too much ever gained by looking at the past only. that that is the lamp by which are feet are guided. we I don't think Thomas Jefferson said But on the other hand I think ought to look toward the future from this day on is what I am more concerned about . I am concerned bout these things as they cause problems to develop . Yes Q------------I'm sorry I did not hear you . and I don't hear As I am getting older/I have heard so much you know. Q--------------Well I thought it would be better if we didn't. thing Now I want you to know it was a deliberate it was deliberate because I thought that it /may be these are people who are very concerned about Civil Rights and all these things that it might be embarrassing to the person who would be placed on it. But if tht is not so, then I will ask Dr. Lane and we will see if we can add another person to it. I haveno objection to doing it. The thought that came to me was that maybe this would be, you know, sticky, because I wanted these men to go really into it. Yes. Q-----Dr. Keith Algier, yes . Q--------- �Wel l, I don't real l y know anythin g we can do about it because h e would be j u s t on e vote anyway . I think maybe we ought not to do that . Yes Q____ _ _ _ No , I Q----Wel , I want to say this first that Mexico , I have invited him to get in touch with Dr . Lane who is ch::iarman of the committee . Then I think what they will do will be that thEre will be a time and place that you can come and give any information that you may have concerning it . Now it has been suggested that we add a balck faculty member to thecommittee and we I will do that but I can't now come along and tell the committee how to do its inviestigation . These are well trained qualified people . Q--- - -- -- I don't have any idea what the committee is going to do . You asked that there be an investigation and I have set up a committee to do the inve stigation . If you are talking about your academic rights be violated, we have a very elaborate system set up whereby you can now make you can go about that you know and make your report and it does not have to be Mr . Pawell It's in the Student Handbook Well, Mr . Hayden , My suggestion is is tha t they do it while they get the students they this committee very carefully see that they are protected . And I will do this , I will say to tkeffl that under no circumstance is any faculty member to know who made the complaint . I can do that for them if that is the only thing we do . If we don't do that then all we get into is a name calling situation . Yes . Q--------------- next year Well, we are going to have two black cheerleaders/if we have two black students who try out for that . If we don't have two who try out we won't h ave any , but we are going to choose the very best thq t we can out of the ones who try out . Dr . Hager over in Health , Phys . Ed is a new person in charage of the cheerleaders and what we are going to do is just so we don't get into this kind of thing and s ay they're all white or all the other in keeping �your proposal theee will be so many places here there will also be two that are for black students only . Q------------Well, then if you can I don not see any reason why that can't happen . but I think that what your cornplaintwas that you had not had any. two. Then you put it back the other way where they say you aren't good Well, all right . enough .

Title A name given to the resource President's Office Records - Martin Description An account of the resource A large majority of the 395 boxes comprising the papers of Robert R. Martin is devoted to official matters concerning his sixteen year tenure (1960-1976) as sixth president of Eastern Kentucky State College (until 1966) and Eastern Kentucky University. The official papers are divided into four series: Association, Board of Regents, Faculty and Staff, and Subject. The Association Series relates to various national and state organizations in which the University held membership, while the Board of Regents Series is concerned with official and working papers of the University's governing board. The Faculty and Staff Series, due to the provisions of both federal and state privacy laws, remains closed to researchers. The Subject Series divides into a general Subject sub-series and five additional sub-series: Academic, Administrative, Business, Public, and Student Affairs, which correspond basically to the University's administrative structure. A Pre-Presidential Series covers the years between Martin's graduation from Eastern and his assumption of her presidency and includes personal, political, and educational materials. Three other series, the General, Personal, and Speeches Series, are a bridge between official and personal papers. Each contains some pre-presidential materials as well as personal and official correspondence. Four miscellaneous series conclude the Martin papers. These include a Memorabilia Series of awards and certificates received by Martin, a Film Series featuring his presidential inauguration, an Oral History Series comprised sixty interviews about Martin and five with the former president and a Photography Series primarily related to the presidential period.

Members pr esent were Dr. Rober t R. Har tin, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, chainnan ; Mr . Keen 'Johnson , Richmond; Mr . A. C. Jones, Harlan . Mr . Cecil C. Sanders , Lancaster , was present for the Founders Day program but had to return to Frankfort for a meeting of the Senate . He read and approved the President ' s report before leaving . STATEMENTS BY DR. MARTIN AND PRESIDENT O' DONNELL Dr . Martin, who assumed the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in January , 19 56, expressed his p leasure at having the opportu- I nity to serve on the Board of Regents of hi s Alma ,Aater . He said he had lo cked forward to this being one of his most pleasant privileges i n his new position as ex officio chairman of the boards of the state colleges and Univer sity. (Dr. Martin is a graduate of Eastern in th e class of 1934 . ) President O' Donnell said he would like to take this oppor tunity to thank the member s of the Board for thei r support and loyalty i n attending the Board meetings and he welcomed Dr . 111ar tin as the new chairman of the Board . He said he espe cially wanted to expre s s to Mr . Jones and Mr . Blackburn his gr atitude for their unfailing interest in the college an d thei r faithfulness in coming from Harlen and Pikevi l le for the meetings of the Boar d dur ing the pas t eight year s . The President also said he hoped the Gover nor would reappoint llr, Jones and Mr . Blackbur n to member- I s hip on the Board after their terms expire .March 31 . APPROVAL OF MI NUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING On motion by Mr . Johnson, seconded by Mr . Jones, the Board approved the minutes of the meeting of December 5 , 1955 . COMPLETION OF KEITH HALL Pr esident O' Donnell reported that all cont r actors have completed their wor k on Keith Ha ll and that it has now been accepted by the State (3- 21- 56 ) I �Pr operty and Buildings Commission . He listed the cost of the building, including furnitur e for both Keith and Sullivan Halls , as follows : Con stru ct i on Architects ' Fee Furniture Interest During Gonstr uction Fiscal Agent for Bond lssue Total $484 , 460 . 00 19, 051.84 33 , 720 . 90 13,477 . 50 5, 625 . 00 I $55s', 335 . 24 Funds available for this construction included : Bond Issue Accrued Interest Allotment f r om State Pr oper ty and Buildings Commission Col l ege ' s Revolving Fund Total $450, 000 . 00 1,085 . 70 105 , 000 . 00 251 . 54 $556,337 . 24 Appar ently , there is a balance of $2 . 00 i n the fund , the Pr esident said. He stated that the Bond and Interest Fund for Keith Hall is in excellent cond ition with a balance of $25 , 216 in the fund as of Febr uar y 1 . This is $5 ,427 . 25 more than bond and interest requirements for the re- I mainder of this calendar year, and, of course , he continued , the fund will be increased by rents co l l ected this spring , summer , and fall . THE HEATING PLANT The President repor ted he had heard that the State Pr oper ty and Buildings Commission has let a cont r a.ct to Thompson , King and Tate of Lexington for wor k at our heating plant to cost $135 , 039 . 00 . The work includes : Extensive repairs to the building . Installation of six steel roof trusses . One steam genera.ting boiler and stoker . The capacity of the boiler will be 26 , 000 pounds per hour . Two boiler fed pumps and feed water heaters . Combustion controls . Electr ic wiring and lighting fixtu r es . Zeolite water softeners . He said he believed it will be possible to oper ate the plant with a minimum of inte r ference while the new installation is being completed . President O' Donnel l infor med the Regents that the college has a.lwa.hs had a very uneconomical method of handling the coal , stockpiling 2000 tons on t he farm , then moving it by truck to the powe r plant as it i s needed on days when we do not have any deliveries f r om the mines . coal is dumped in the power plant and hand shoveled into the stoker s . The The (3- 21-56) I �President said it is this double handling of coal at the stockpile and later at the power plant which costs the college considerable money . He said we have long urged the advisability of providing more storage space for coal at the heating nlant and some easily operated equipment I to move the coal into the stokers . Such equipment was included in the Commission ' s original request for bids on the wor k to be done at the heating plant and the President said he had some encouragement to believe that the Commission will yet include the equipment in the contract for the new work . The low b id on this equipment was appr oximately $26 , 000 . REPORT ON CONSTRUCTION OF MUSIC BUILDING President O' Donnell reported to the Board that wo r k on the new Music Building has been slowed down because the foundation r ock in some places was about ten feet below the place where the engineer ' s soundings indicated it would be found . The error was caused by unattached boulders which wer e found throughout the area. of the building site and this condition made it necessar y for the const ruction engine ers to r edesign the I reinforcing steel, he said , However, he continued , we are not disturbed by the delay because we probably would not try to use the building before the fall of 1957 and it will surely be ready by that time . INTEREST ON CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS The President told the Board that on February 15, 1956, the college received a payment of $1122 .90 for interest due on the Government Certi fi cates of Indebtedness and this sum was deposited in the Student Union Building Revenue Fund which financed the purchase of these certificates in the principal sum of $75 , 000 , He said the fund is now invested in United States Treasury Notes , Ser ies B 1956, and bear two per cent inter est . ENROLLMENT FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER Our enrollment for the second semester totals 2216, the President I reported . 1789 . The enrollment for the corresponding period last year was The Pr esident said one of the college's greatest needs is for more dormitory space for men . "In fact ," he stated , I think we have now r eached our peak enrollment until additional housing facilities are available for those who want to attend Eastern." At the present time , he said, the college has 1209 men enr olled but permanent housing facilities, without overcrowding, accommodate only 418 men . (3-21-56) However, he said, in spite 3 �- 4 of the shor tage of pe r manent housinr; , more than 700 single men are now living on the campus . NEW BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS Pr esident 0 1 Donnell repor ted that last December the State Depar t ment of Finance asked him to list Eastern ' s building needs in the orde r of pr ior ity so far as he was able to determine at that time which buildings ar e most greatly needed . I The iresident included in his repor t the r eply which he made December 15, 1955 , to this request, stating that the substance of the r eply was given again to the Division of the Budget on Febr uar y 23 , 1956 . The r eply made December 15 is as follows: New Construction 1. Addition t o Heating Pl a nt Our most ur gent need is an addition t o the steam capacity of our heating plant . The plant consists of a 500 HP boiler and a 306 F...P hoi l er . The larger boiler came to us from the old peni tentiary at Fr ankfor t . The smaller one was purchased in 1930 . This equipment was overloaded before we constructed Keith Hal l, our newest dor mitory for men . A small boi l er of 150 HP was purchased by the State froperty and Buildings Commission sometime ago but has not yet been installed . It vnll be valuable as the only boiler in use dur inr the summer or in the event of failu r e of either of the other boiler s in moderately cold weat h er . Our buildings are uncomfortable in cold weather. In fact , Keith Hall has been so uncomfor table that the 174 students living the r e have placed a large banner above the f r ont entr ance bea r ing the very meaningful words: "The Modern Deepfreeze ." I The State l'r operty and Buildings Comnission had plans pr epar ed for the remodeling of the boile r house and the installati on of a new boiler having a peak capacity of 30 , 000 pounds per hour. Bids wer e opened December 6 , but the Commi ss i on did not have funds available for this project and , as of this date , no contr act has been awarded . A contr act has been let for a fine arts building which wil l house the music depar tment and provide six classr ooms for other division s of the college . We will not be able to pr ovide any heat at all for this buildinr; until the capacity of our heating pl ant is enlarged . A new boiler and stoker , ccmpletely equipped and installed , will cost at least $100 , 000 . 2. A New Dormitory for 200 Men Eastern has just completed a dor mitor y which was financed by a bond issue of $450 , 000 and .an allotment of $105 , 000 f r om the State Pr ope r ty and Buildings Commission . However , we are still not abl e to accommodate in any satisfact or y way the number of men who must live on the campus . Attached hereto is a statement showing how our present facilities are being used . It indicates that we have 266 men who are the extras in over crowded r ooms or who are living in dormitory basements or in tempo r ary barra cks . The five barr acks which are used for sinf,le men wer e given to us by the Feder al Housing Authority in 1946 after we agreed that th:ise buildings would be reduced to flat pie ces by 1950 because it was thought that they would no longe r be fit for human habitation I �- 5 after that date . They are not fit . These buildings should be abandoned at the earliest possible opportunity . A new dor mitor y will cost appr oximately $600 , 000 . If the state can pr ovide even one fourth of the cost, the balance can be obtained by a self- liquidating bond issue which will be s ecured only by revenue from r oom r entals . I Our fall enrollment of r esident col l ege students totals 2192 . Of t his number , 1211 are men . Eastern has perman ent faci lities fo r only 418 men when only two persons are assigne d to a ro om. 3. Rousi ng for Married Students Eas tern should have at least 50 well constructed apartments for married students . We house 112 families in the Veterans Village which has 34 fairly good houses, 16 trailers, f our metal buildings , and 19 barr a cks buil ding s that have been converted into apar tments . These 19 buildings are cover ed with tar paper . All of them shou ld be rep laced with more substantial structures . It is not good for college men and women to beccme accustomed to, and possibly content with, slum housing . The 34 fairly good houses were procured from Charlestown , Indiana, whe re the University of Kentucky also pr ocured more than 100 houses of the same type . I believe the Univer sity has already dismantled its allotment of houses from Charlest own . 4. I A New Labor ator y School Ea stern' s training school is the oldest laboratory school i n the state . It should be r ep l aced by a moder n building that will house both the el ementar y and the high school which are now in separate buildings . A good laboratory school is an essential par t of a teacher training progr am . It is here that future teachers observe and learn the best methods of teaching and the sk i llful use of instructional mate ri als and resources. The need f or a new training school , however, is subordinate to the need for improvements to Burnam Hall and the pov1er plant as outlined in par agr a~> hs #1 and #2 below . Improvement of Present Facilities 1. I Ol d Bur nam Dormi t ory Old Burnam is the nor thern wing of Bur nam Hal l . It was constructed in 1920 . It has 49 r ooms and nor mally houses 98 girls . It has wood floors and stairways . The r oom pa r titi ons are plaster on wood laths and studding . The ele ctr ic wiring and el e ctric outlet s were not designed for modern lighting and for the radios which are now a part of the pr ivately owne d equiµr ent of every girl ' s room. The plumbing is antiquated and requir es frequent servi cing to stop leaks in r ust eaten pipes . This building should have the same kind of r epairs , renovations and replacement which the Buildings Commission r ecently completed in Sul l ivan Hall . The estimated cos t will be $100 , 000 . 2. The Powe r Plant Provision should be made for storing coal at the power plant and fo r fee ding it directly into the stokers by me chani cal means . Coal is now necessar ily sto r ed several hundred yar ds f r om t he bui lding . It i s moved by trucks f r om the stockpi l e to the furnace room where it is shoveled by hand into the stokers . The hand l ing of a year ' s suppl y of coal, betwe en si x and seven thou sand tons , , is exceedingly expensive . (3- 21- 56) �Wide cr acks have r ecently appeared in the walls of the building which houses the power plant . It seems that the weight of the ti l e roof is no longer firmly sustained by the wood trusses and , as the r oof settles , the walls are being pushed apart . The condition of this building, together with t ~e need for coal handling equipment, was called to the attention of the 1ngin eer inr Depar tment of the State ~r operty and Buildings Conmission more than 18 months ago . Both Mr . J . B. Rieman and hlr . Geor ge Lyon inspected the building about that time and know its condition f r om fi r st- hand observation . Repai r s to the building wil l cost approximately $13 , 000 . coal handling equipment will cost aoproximately ~28 , 000 . 3. I The Under ground Steam Mains Fr om time to time ther e are ser ious breaks in the older sections of the underground steam mains . We have had no tro uble whatever with the new sections which were installed four or five years ago . This const r uction took care of about half the system . We made a mistake by not replacing all of the under ground mains at that time . New underground steam mains should be laid i n the other half of the system as soon as funds can be made available for this purpose . We hope that this improvement will not be delayed more than thr ee years . Con cl usi on The college's a ppropriation f r om the state for the biennium 1956- 58 should be sufficient to enable us to make repairs to our physical plant as these repairs are needed so that the plant may be kept in good condition at all times . This has not been pos sible during the last six or eight years . We have hardly had funds for faculty salar ies, janitorial services and utilities . Because we recognize that the state has the responsibility for its many other institutions, agencies and ser vices , we can only expect the.t the state ' s expendi cures f or repairs and replacements at Eastern will be as generous as the state ' s revenue will permit . I EXECUTIVE BUDGET FOR 1956-58 President O' Donne ll repeat ed for the information of the Boa r d and for the per manent record a pa r t of his letter of February 7 , 1956 , to the members of the Boar d as follows : " I have been ·,rnr king very closely since last Apr il with the Budget Division of the State Depar tment of Finan ce . I run pl ea s ed to tell you that the Governor and his advisers in the Depar tment of Finance want very mu ch to recommend an appropriation that wi ll enable Easter n to enlarge the teaching staff, gr ant some increases in salaries , and pr ovide for a mor e adequate maintenance pr ogr am . It appears now that the Executive Budget will carry a recommendation t hat East ern be given ~830, 885 dur ing t he fi r st year of the biennium and i921 , 604 during the second year . The difference in the two recommendations is based on our expectation of having an even larger enr ollment in 1956- 58 than we have estimated we wi l l have in 1956- 57 . Our present enrollment is 36 per cent above the estimate we made when the budget was being pr epared two years ago . "Our present appropriation of $625 , 000 a year was based on an antici pated enrollment of 1574 in 1955- 56 . This was a mighty poor guess in the light of today ' s en r ollment of more than 2150 students . "In addition to the appr opriation which we hope wi 11 be recoJunended in the Executive Budget, we expect to r eceive addi tional funds for impr oving our heating plant . The boile r s lack (3- 21- 56 ) I �- 7 heating capacity, while the building icself is in very poor c ondition. The state officials know this and can be expected to do something about it." SOCIAL SECURITY FOR FACULTY AND STAFF The President reported to the Board that the Legis lature has pas sed I and the Governor has signed an enabling act which perm its Eastern's teachers to become members of the Social Security System . The act will become law May 19 , 1956, after which the Governor is expected to call for an election here on the campus to determine whether a majority of the teache rs wi. sh to have Social Security . The present rate of contribution from members is two pe rcent of the first $4200 of the member ' s salary and the colle ge wil l also have to match the teacher ' s contribution, the President said . He called attention to the fact that most of the teachers hope that membership in Social Se cur ity may be made retroactive to January 1, 1955 , the date on which they began paying their contribution into an es crow fund to be used to effect the retroactive feature of menbershi p . He said this seems to be a r ather ur gent and important matter fo r a great many of our I teachers , because they are already in the a ge bracket between 60 and 70 years and they are eager to build up substantial benefits against the day when they must retire . It will cos t the college approximately $17 , 000 to match the Social Se curi ty payments for the years 1955 and 1956, he continued, but at least a par t of this payment will be offset by the reduction or the discontinuance of the chan ge- of-work status which we have been providing for long- time members of our faculty who had to retire on an allowance of $1200 or less from the Teachers ' Reti rement System . President O'Donnell told the Board that it will be several months before the faculty will vote on this question but h e was sure that the Social Security coverage is favored by almost 100 percent of the present facu l ty . He said that since there wi 11 be one or two meetings of the Board before the faculty I votes on this subject he thought action may be deferred on his recoITD11endation that the colle ge match the faculty ' s contribution so that all members of the faculty , especially the older ones, may have the benefits of retroactive membership when and if the faculty votes to become members of the Social Security System . CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT OF MILK SUPPLY President O' Donnell reported that sever al years ago the colle ge discontinued the practice of pasteurizing the milk produced on the farm . (3- 21- 56 ) Raw �- 8 milk was sold to Berea College and then milk was bought from Berea which was needed for use in the cafeteri a and grill . He said that William Stocker and Jackson Taylor, who are now in charge of the farm, recommended to him that the pasteurizing plant be put in operation again and milk be sold in bulk rather than in cartons to the cafeter ia and grill . Two refri gerated milk dispensers were purchased and, although these had been I in use only about a week at the time the President was writing that part of the report (Mar ch 12) he said that the experience with these dispensers so far had been surprisingly satisfactory . The President said the dairy is producing about two thirds of the amount of milk used here on the campus . The remaining one third is bought from producers or jobbers . President O' Donnell said it is hoped that a l a r ge part of the profit can be saved which formerly went to Berea College . Fortunate ly, he stated, we have been able to find some students who not only have the desire to work but who also know how to operate a pasteurizing plant under Mr. Taylor 1 s close supervision . The President said that heretofore the college has had consider able difficulty disposing of the milk supply during the month of August and the first half of September when there a.re no students on the cooipus . I Now, he believes a satisfactory price can be obtained for the milk from the Kentucky Ice Cream Company her e in Richmond . He said this company has become one of the largest producers of ice cream in this area and its demand for milk is at a peak duri~g the summer months when our r equi rements are at their very lcmest . This condition, he added , should give the dairy considerable advantage over what it had in othe r years when tmre was almost no market for milk during August and the first part of September . MEETING OF FHA ON CAMPUS JUNE 4- 6 .AND EXTENSION OF SIDiMER SESSION DATE TO JUNE 11 President O'Donnell repo r ted to the Board that approximately 650 members of the Future Homemakers of America organization in the hi gh schools of Kentucky will meet on Eastern ' s campus for a three- day conference June 4, 5, and 6 . He said the college is very fortunate in having an opportunity to entertain these young peop l e , because they are unquestionably some of the ablest high school students in the state . They wi l l be housed in Burnam, Sullivan , and Keith Halls and they will have their meals in the college cafeteria . ( 3- 21- 56) I �The President said that because of the difficulty in getting the rooms ready forthe incoming col l ege students for the summer session it has been decided to postpone the opening of the summer session from June 6 to June 11 and a corresponding change will be made in the closing I of the summer session which, under the revised schedule , will end August 3 . The short term of five and one half weeks will close July 18 instead of July 13. LEAVES OF ABSENCE President O' Donnell asked the Board 's approval of a leave of absence with half pay for Fred Darling , a member of the faculty in the Department of Health and Physical Education , who is doing advanced graduate work at Indiana University this semester and wishes to remain there during the summer session of 1956 . The President said that he has been encouraging all young faculty members to continue their preparation for the doctorate and that Mr. Darling is certainly worth the investment recommended for him . Mr . Darling has received both the Bachelor of Science and the Master 's I degree f r om Eastern and has done considerable additional graduate work at the University of Kentucky . His present salary is $4500 a year, the Pre- sident said, and if the leave is approved for him he will receive $187 . 50 a month, or $1125 for the six nonths endin g Jul y 31 , 1956 . Pr esident O' Donnell also recommended leaves of absence with full pay for Miss Brown E. Telford and Miss Jane Campbell during the two months of the summer session. Miss Campbell is planning to study abroad . Both Miss Campbell and Miss Telford are member s of the faculty in the Music Department . Miss Telford has been at Eastern since 1917, while Miss Campbell has been in her present position since 1926 . The President said that it will not be necessary to employ replacements forthern, si nce some other members of the Department will assume responsibi lity for additional work I while Miss Telford and Miss Campbell are away . On motion by Mr. J ones seconded by Mr . Johnson, the Board approved the leave of Mr . Darling on half pay and the leaves of Miss Campbell and Miss Telford on ful 1 pay for the pe riod speci f ied above.

Title A name given to the resource President's Office Records - Martin Description An account of the resource A large majority of the 395 boxes comprising the papers of Robert R. Martin is devoted to official matters concerning his sixteen year tenure (1960-1976) as sixth president of Eastern Kentucky State College (until 1966) and Eastern Kentucky University. The official papers are divided into four series: Association, Board of Regents, Faculty and Staff, and Subject. The Association Series relates to various national and state organizations in which the University held membership, while the Board of Regents Series is concerned with official and working papers of the University's governing board. The Faculty and Staff Series, due to the provisions of both federal and state privacy laws, remains closed to researchers. The Subject Series divides into a general Subject sub-series and five additional sub-series: Academic, Administrative, Business, Public, and Student Affairs, which correspond basically to the University's administrative structure. A Pre-Presidential Series covers the years between Martin's graduation from Eastern and his assumption of her presidency and includes personal, political, and educational materials. Three other series, the General, Personal, and Speeches Series, are a bridge between official and personal papers. Each contains some pre-presidential materials as well as personal and official correspondence. Four miscellaneous series conclude the Martin papers. These include a Memorabilia Series of awards and certificates received by Martin, a Film Series featuring his presidential inauguration, an Oral History Series comprised sixty interviews about Martin and five with the former president and a Photography Series primarily related to the presidential period.

E. Blackburn, and Mr. A. c. Mr. Wendell P. Jones. I Also present were President W. F. O'Donnell and Lois Colley, Secretary. Mr. Keen Johnson was in Richmond, Virginia, to attend the funeral of his canpany's president and was unable to attend the meeting. Cecil c. present. Mr. Sanders was engaged in court in Lancaster and was unable to be Both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Sanders had read the President's report prior to the meeting. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING On motion by Mr. Blackburn, seconded by Mr. Jones, the minutes of the meeting of May 9, 1955, were approved as reported to the Board by I mail. PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 1955-56 President O'Donnell submitted a proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1955, and ending June 30, 1956, which he said repre- sented the best judgment of the Business Office and the President's Office . He stated that last year receipts were underestimated by approximately $10,000 and expenses were underestimated by approximately $33,000. Fortu- nately, he continued, the estimate of income was based on cash receipts, while the estimate of disbursements included inter-account charges which didn't involve any actual expenditure of money. He said that the year was ended with an unencumbered balance of $42,453.02, which is $1,068 more than the balance remaining at the end of the fiscal year June 30, 1954. President O'Donnell told the Board that the inter-account charges referred to above include the cost of the scholarships given to athletes and to certain key persons in the bend and orchestra, and that when an athlete receives his incidental fee and room rent, the bookkeeper charges that as en expense, even though no money is disbursed. He said that in the long run this item does not oost the college very much because if the college didn't have the scholarships it wouldn't have the athletes and if I �we didn't have the athletes we wouldn't be getting their fees anyway. The same thing can be said of those who are granted some concession in the Music Department so that we may have well-balanced musical organizations, he stated. The President said that, of course, he wanted to avoid having any I deficit for the year ending June 30. 1956, and to that end he pledged his best efforts to keep expenditures within income . He stated that this has become increasingly difficult for the simple reescn that the college's income has not increased in proportion to the increase in enrollment. However satisfying it is to know that the college enrollment is growing with each passing year. he said we cannot forget that the fees peid by students offset only a small part of the college's cost. The President said that Eastern's enrollment for 1954-55 was approximately twenty percent greater than the State Finance Department estimated it would be when the state appropriation was fixed at $625,250 for each year of the present biennium. President O'Donnell stated that the budget as presented for the I Board's consideration includes the salaries for additional faculty members and the recommended increases in salaries of present faculty members.

President O'Donnell called attention of the Board to the budget for capital outlay and said that $6000 was included for an addition to the dairy barn. He said he hoped that when money is received from the I State Insurance Department for fire loss to the barn that it can be put into an addition for a milking parlor. Referring to the Student Union Building revenue statement, President O' Donnel l said that the greater the expenditures the greater will be the income, of course. After some further attention to the details of the proposed budget for 1955-56, the Boe.rd approved the budget on motion by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Blackburn. REPAIRS TO BUILDINGS President O'Donnell reported that Jack Nelson, who had the contract to repair some of the buildings that were damaged by the tornado April 23, has completed the work of rebuilding Barracks lf4 and House #224 in the I Village and has also made repairs to the roofs of the library, Burnam Hall and Sullivan Hall. He said that John H. Parke has completed con- struction of a dairy barn of sorts on the foundation of one which was destroyed by fire May 12. His contract for materials, labor, and super- vision in building the hayloft and roof above the old foundation was approximately i4,100. Under his contract he was to be paid the actual cost of materials and labor, plus 10 percent for supervision. The President stated that all our claims for the losses by fire end tornado have not yet been adjusted. The Department of Insurance requested that an estimate be seoured of the replacement value of the dairy barn, which was valued at only $9,500 by state appraisers when the insurance was ori ginally placed. Mr. Parke had the low estimate of i27 , 357. He esti- mated, the President said, that the foundation, which was not damaged, is worth $6, 000, making a replacement value for the barn of $21,357. Mr . :dArvin Lear, an adjuster for the Department of Insurance, has estimated that the value of the barn at the time it was destroyed was $10,356 . fresident O'Donnell said he presumed that this is the basis on (8-1-55) I �which final adjus"bnent will be made with the Insu~ance Department. Neither the loss on the stock barn, which was completely destroyed, nor the damage to the barn near t he east end of the stadium has been adjusted. PROGRESS ON CONSTRUCTION OF NEVT DORMITORY The President reported that the new dormitory will probably not be I canpleted before the first of the year but it is hoped the third floor can be used at the beginning of the fall semester end the second floor will be available soon thereafter. He said that by crowding the students on these two floors it may be possible to accommodate the larger percent of those who have applied for room reservations for the coming year. President O'Donnell said he realized that this is not good practice but we will try to minimize the handicaps under which the students will work. He expressed the belief that they can be encouraged to do much of their studying in the library and an effort will be made to keep them busy at other times so that a minimum part of their day must be spent in their rooms. SUGGESTED NAME FOR NEW OORMITORY FOR MEN I The President said that at a previous meeting of the Board the matter of selecting a name for the new dormitory was discussed and the Board advised him to confer with the officers of the Alumni Association to determine whether the alumni had any suggestions relative to the matter. The alumni officers, after considering a number of names, rec- ommended that the Board name the dormitory Keith Hall in recognition of the service rendered by Dr. Charles A. Keith and his wife, the late Anna Dickson Roe Keith, through their forty-two years es counselors of men. He said that he himself believed it is very appropriate to call the new building Keith Hall . On motion by Mr. Jones , seconded by Mr. Blackburn, the Board approved the name, Keith Hall, for the new dormitory. I BLACKTOPPING FOR PARKING AREA AND DRIVE President O'Donnell reported to the Board that the State Property and Buildings CoI11r.1ission has accepted the responsibility for blacktopping the driveway and the parking space behind the Administration Bui lding and Science Hall. The contract for this work has been let to the Allen Company, of Winchester, which submitted the low bid of $3 ,454. This company also has the contract for widening the driveway from the Union (8-1-56) �Building to the exit from the campus on Second Street. Both jobs should be completed in August. The State Property and Buildings Commission has made allotments as follows since the last Board meeting. the President statedi Repairs to the Power Plant New Roof for the Health Building Renovation of Roark Basement Blacktopping of Parking Areas $25,000 11. J OO 4,000 3.454 I He said these allotments, together with those previously made during the last five years, total $1,273,835, which is a very substantial sum when we compare it with the total of $1,412,000 appropriated by the legislature for capital outlay at Eastern from the time the college was founded in 1906 to January 1, 1948. For ready reference the President listed in round numbers all appropriations made to Eastern by the State Property and Buildings Commission since the Commission has been in existence, including the amount spent by the State Highway Department for the widening of the driveway.

She finds it necessary to be with her family in Ashland because of her parents' declining health . I She will return here from time to time during the year, the President added , to render whatever assistance she can to Miss Llizabeth Park, who will substitute for her. The President recommended for Miss Story a leave with pay of $100.00 a month for a period of twelve months beginning September 1, 1955, for such assistance as she will be able to give in the Training School during that time.

Only ~13,425 of this amount is for increases recommended f or faculty members who were here last year, he continued with salaries for additional faculty members accounting for the remainder of the increase over the total for last year. The Presi- dent said he was recommending an additi on to the faculty in biology, another man in industrial arts, a new person in educational psychology, and an additional man in commerce. He added that the unexpectedly large enrollment for the past year increased the size of classes in these departments beyond reasonable limits . He said also that the positions of dean of men and princ ip al of the Training School were not filled last year but he thought the po sitions should be filled for the coming year .

Blackburn called attenti on to the fact thet these salo.ries are still low in comparison with those in membe r institutions of the MCTE and the University of Kentucky. On motion by :.u-. Jones, seconded by !Jr . Blackburn, the Board approved the salaries as recommended by President O' Donnell with the exception of th!\ t of Mr • .-lcLai n. I President O'Donnell told the Board that he had listed the name of Mr. McLain and stated that his work consists largely of distributing materials under a Ford Foundation gr ant which provides a Center of Internationo.l Relations on the campus with funds matched by th~ college . The President said that Mr. McLain has been here two years and that he would like to have e uthori ty to pay :Wir . McLain' s salary by the month and only so long as the President deems it advisable . The Board, on motion by Mr. Jones , seconded by ~b- . Blackburn, gave the f resident authority to pay Mr. McLain's salary at his own discretion. ENROLLMENT FOR 1954- 55 President O' Donne ll told the Board that he had already reported to the members the enrollment for the fall semester and the spring semester but that he was repeating parts of previ us r eports so that the Board may have the enrollment data for the year : Enrollment for the Fal 1 Semester Enrollment for the Second Semester Enr ollment for the Spring Term (addition al students) Enrollment for the Summer Session Number of Degrees Awarded in June Number of Degrees Awarded in July 1690 1789 46 1407 205 209 ( A- , _ i::.c;) I �He said that these figures reveal a really remarkable record of growth in the college's servi ce to the Commonweal th• kmSIC BUILDING PLANS President O' Donnell reported thE1t the plans for t h e Busic Building I (or Fine Arts Bui lding) are now being revised by architect Abner Foster, of Covington , who drew the origina2. plans f our years ago . The President said that some advancements have been made in the design of music buildings since that time , however, and tha t the revised and completed plans will be ready wi. thin the next t hirty days . He said that he has been working wi. th a comnittee of the State Property and Buildings Commission concerning the financing of our part of the cost of the Music Building which is estimated to be approximately t250, 000. He stated that the college will need to designate a fiscal agent to prepare the documents, including legal opinions, connected with the issuance and sale of the college's bonds . He expressed the belief that we wi 11 pr obably not need to pay the fiscal agent as much as we paid I the syndicate that acted u s fiscal agent for the bond issue on the new dormitory for men . The college agreed to pay the fiscal agent for that project 3/4 of one percent of the face amount of the bonds issued, with the understanding that the fee would be increased by an additional 1/4 of one peroent for each 1/4 of one percent (or fraction thereof) which the interest rate fell below 3-1/2 percent. Since the college's bonds sold a net interest cost of 3.05 percent, t he fee under this contract was 1-1/4 percent . President O' Donnell advised the Board that a fiscal agent should be appointed at this t ime. He said that Y,estern had agreed to pay Bankers Bond . 65 of one percent on a million dollar is sue and that Murray had agreed to pay Stein Bros . I & Boyce 7/10 of one percent of a $7•)0, 000 issue. He said that the State Property and 3uildings Commission ep proved one percent on a ~300 , 000 issue , or ~3 , 000,whichever is gre ater . The President said that since Eastern's issue will be less than ~ither 1Jurray's or Viestern ' s , Mr . Clifford Barnes , special representative of the State Pr operty and Buildings Commission , has expressed the opinion that a fee of one percent seems to be reasonable . (8-1-55) �- ,.,0 - J./SO """ President O' Donnell said that the Kentucky Company of Lexington and Louisville had made a proposal to act as fiscal agent for Eastern at a fee of one percent . He recommended the acceptance of the proposal. On motion by Mr . Jones, seconded by the Kentucky Company was acce pted. Mr . 9lackburn, the proposal of It is as follows: 1 . We wi 11 advise with you and the officials of the college and assist you in all details in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale o~ the bonrs, including advising you in regard to the maturity schedule , prior redemption provisions, sinking fund requirerirnts, special reserve requirements , deprecietion needs and all other details r egarding the bond issue .

BUTLER Chairnan of Board of :1ei:;ents Eastern Kentucky State College /s/ JOHN E. FARRA DESEGRATION President O'Donnell told tho 3oard thPt hP ~ s confident Negroes will apply for edrlission to E9stern this fall and, in fact, the college has already had applicants for the spring term and for the suJmT1er sessi. on . He said he understood that !iurray also had applicants for the sum.,er session and that Viestern will most likely have a number of applicants jn SeptE'!mber . Recently , in a conference with the presidents of the other state I colleges, he said he tried to get an ~~reement that we would all adopt the same po1icy rel9tive to applicants this fall but no one seened to be able to speak with authority concerninG this matter . The President said he thought if all the college presidents could agree on a policy each could then recor.ll'1end it to his respective board for consideration and possible adoption . President O'Donnel l said thet it seems inevitable that we shall have to admit Negroes to all these colleges but no one wants to be the first to aQ~it them . He stated that he didn't anticipate any difficulty here if the college can accept those who apply without makinr, any previous ~nnouncement concerning our intent to enroll ::egro students on any particular date . Se added also that those who will pr obably enro 1 : at Eestorn, when the colleges I CE" agree or are forced by the courts to edr .:.t them , will be resi- dents of Richmond and will, therefore, ~o~ nPed to be ~oused in our dormitories . These dormitories , of course , are already roserved beyond capacity for t'-ie fall semester, the President observed. A number of looal colored students have enrolled either at the Uni versity of Kentucky or in Berea College, he stated. The Board and the President discussed at length the desegregation rulinEs by the courts and the possibl~ consequences to the college . 8- 1- 55 Mr . �"'O ~ ::c Butler deemed it inevitable tha t '{egroes must be nccepted and said thAt college officials would be open to suit if a ny effort were made to bar Negro student applicants for edmiss i on . He suggested that the colleges might not face the pr obl em this year but he sai d he bel ieved the Negro a ~~licants will have to be accepted next year . In respon se to a que stion from J.1r . Jones about possible appli cants I for this fall , the Pre sident said there is a teacher in the Richmond colored schools who wan ts t o do graduate work here and one who went t o Kentucky State Colle 6 c a t Frankfort who can not afford to continue there next year . He emphasized his belief that if t hese student s c ould be admitted without any publicity he doubted th at there would be e:ny real problem . Hr . 3utler said he would call a meeting of the Council on Higher Education to see if the college presidents coul d re a ch an agreement on one definite policy to be foll owed by all the colleges . It was agreed by the President and the Board tha t the Council should take the lead in establishing a policy. PROSPECTS FOR A RECORD FALL SE!,1ES TER EN ROLLllENT The President reported to the Bo~rd that requests for room reserva- I tions and f or houses in the Veterans Village indicate that we will have a record enrollment this fall . He said that the failure of the contractor to coliplete the new donnitory in time for the opening of the semester has created hou sing problems to which there seerns to be no solution at this time . VETERANS VILLAGE 1-.lr. Blackburn asked if the re had been any further thinking on the nee d of replacing the Veterans Village ap ar'bnents .

On motion by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Sanders, the Board approved unanimously the awarding of these degrees as listed. The oommencanent speaker was Dr. Andrew D. Holt, vice president of the University of Tennessee. �- cc ""t: 32.2 ~ :r:: PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS President O'Donnell reported to the Board that the U.S . Government Certificates of Indebtedness bearing 2 5/8 percent interest which were purchased June 1, 1953, matured May 17, 1954, at which time the college received $1934.08 in interest which was deposited in the Building Revenue Fund. The $75, 000 was reinvested in Certificates of Indebtedness bearing 1 l/8 percent interest. These can be cashed at I any time, the President said, and probably offer the best interest rate we could receive from funds invested in Government securities with the right to cash them at our convenience. Motion was made by Mr. Sanders, seconded by Mr. Jones, that the reinvestment of the $75, 000 in U.S. Certificates of Indebtedness be approved. The motion was passed by unanimous vote of all members pre- sent. REPORT ON PROGRESS OF REMODELING SULLIVAN The remodeling of Sullivan Hall is proceeding satisfactorily, the President told the Board. He said that the Annex portion (36 rooms and the college hospital) should be ready for occupancy by June 9, the opening of the summe r term. and that the front section of the building should be completed by September 15. With the completion of this I remodeling program, Sullivan Hall vnll be almost a new dormitory, President O'Donnell reported. In fact, he said, it will be one of the most desirable dormitories we have on the campus. - -- -- -- - - -- ILLNESS OF TWO FACULTY MEMBERS President O'Donnell reported that Mrs. Emma Y. Case, Dean of Women, has been a patient in the Gibson Hospital, Richmond, since May 9. He said that it is doubtful that she will be able to return to her duties before the opening of the f all semester. Miss Anna D. Gill, a teacher in the Comme rce Department, has also been ill since May 7, President O' Donnell stated. She returned to her home here recently after having been in St. Joseph's Hospital in Lexington for two or three weeks. The President said that Miss Gill is expected to be able to r esume her duties at t he beginning of the SUlllller session. The Board agreed that the previous policy of granting sick leaves in such cases should be continued. I �- 3l3 INCREASE IN MAINTENANCE SALARIES President O'Donnell asked the Board' s approval of the following adjustments in the weekly rate of pay for three janitors , as listed: William Francis, from $30. 00 to $33. 00 a week 11 Hugh Bates, $32 . 00 to $34. 00 11 11 Paul Ferrell, " $34. 00 to $37 . 00" " I On motion by Mr . Jones, seconded by Mr. Sanders, the Board approved the increases for the janitors named above . RESIGNATION AND REPLACEMENT ON ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF Pr esident O' Donnell reported that Mrs . Linda Seay Bingham, accounts clerk in the Business Office, had resigned her position as of May 29 . Mrs . Bingham left her work here upon t he graduation of her husband, Jim Bingham, who will enter military service. Mrs . Harry (Joan) Scales , Jr. , of Richmond, was given a tempor ary appointment to fill the position of accounts clerk at a salary of $25 . 00 a week beginning May 31, with the understanding that if she proves to be the person we want we will increase her salary to $35. 00 a week September 13. I On motion by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Sanders , the Board accepted the resignation of Mrs . Bingham and approved the temporary appointment of Mrs . Scales . NOMmATIONS TO THE FACULTY President O' Donnell nominated Jackson A. Taylor to teach agriculture and to manage the college dairy at a salary of $4000 a year fo r twelve months beginning September 1. In addition to the salary, the President recormnended that Mr. Taylor be given free rent in one of the houses or apartments in the Veterans Village. Mr. Taylor is a native of East Bernstadt, studied two years at Sue Bennett College, then transferred to the University of Kentucky where he received the B. S. degree in agriculture in 1950. This week he will receive the master of science degree with a major in dairy production. I He has had extensive training in fann. management and animal husbandry. He was student manager of the dairy at Annville High School while he was a student there. During the past year he has been an assistant in the Dairy Depar tment at the University of Kentucky and was highly reconnnended as a person who la10\vs hO\~ to operate a dairy, the President reported. President O' Donnell nominat ed Dr . Paul C. Nagel at a s alar y of $4700 a y ear, beginning Sept ember 1 , to t each in the Socia l Science �Department. He will take the place of Dr. Horace Raper, who has accepted a position at Ball State Teachers College, Muncie, Indiana, at a salary of approximately $1500 a year more than he receives here, the President said. Dr. Nagel has the B. A. , M. A. , and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota. He taught while he was a graduate stu- dent there from 1948 to 1951 and is presently employed at Augustan.a. I College, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. On motion by Mr. Sanders , seconded by Mr. Jones, the Board approved the appointment of Mr. Taylor and Dr. Nagel to the faculty at the salaries given nbove. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR MR. McILVAINE President O' Donnell reconmended that Mr. Alex G. Mcilvaine, a teacher in the Commerce Department, be given a leave of absence without pay during the months of June and July so that he may continue his graduate work at the University of Kentucky. On motion by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Sanders, the Board approved a leave for Mr. Mcilvaine as recommended. DECISION OF SUPREME COURT CONCERNING SEGREGATION President O'Donnell informed the Board that the recent I decision of the Supreme Court relative to segregation in the public schools will also, of course, admit Negroes to our public colleges . He said that he anticipated that we shall have applicants for the fall semester. We had one Negro applicant who w1.shed to transfer from the University of Kentucky in order to get a special course in our Science Department during the summer, the President said. However, President O'Donnell r eported that neither the University nor Eastern planned to offer the course and we thought it was too l ate to make arrangements for it, although a number of the University students wanted it. The President expressed the belief that we will not have any serious problems resulting from the Court ' s decision unless we are required to provide accommodations for Negroes in the residence halls. He reported that, as the Board already knows, we are having great difficulty providing satisfactory living accommodations for our students, but the situation will be somewhat r elieved by the construction of the new dormitory for men and the return of Sullivan Hall to women. I �- 3ZS Af'ter considerable discussion of the segregation problem_ Mr . Butler stated that pending a further clarification of the Supreme Court ' s decision next October, there should be no change in our present practice relating to segregation. FACULTY SALARIES FOR 1954- 55 I President O' Donnell told the Board that he had hoped to be able at the meeting today to fix salaries for members of the teaching staff for the year 1954-55 but that vre will have a little clearer picture of our financial situation within the next two weeks . He said that he would, therefore, make his recommendations covering the salaries when the Board meets to open bids for the sale of the dormitory bonds . The President said he thou&ht the salaries could be increased for next year, perhaps $300 or $400 a year but it will take nearly all the money we have. The Boar d agreed with the President that i t is desirable to increase faculty salaries . I NCREASE IN PRESIDENT'S SALARY FOR 1954- 55 I Mr. Butler requested President O' Donnell to retiro from the meeting temporarily. After he left, the members of the Board dis- cussed the fact that President O'Donnell received only $8000, or possibly $7500, and a greed unanimously to increase his salary to $9000. Mr. Butler said that the presidents of Western and Murray each receive an armual salary of $9000 and that the incoming president of Morehead will be paid $8500. He asked the secretary if President O' Donnell had received the $500 increase which was voted to him for 1953-54 and she stated that so far the President had not accepted the increase. The Board, on motion by Mr . Jones , seconded by Mr. S8l1ders _ drew up the following resolution, which was approved unanimously: 'twHEREAS, the President's salary has been set at $8000 since I July 1_ 1953, and he has drawn only $7500 for the year _ BE I T RESOLVED, that the Business Office be instructed to forward a claim to the State Tr easurer fo r $500 so that the total salary of $8000 for President O' Donnel l for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1954, be paid on or before July 1, 1954. " �It was also moved by Mr. Sanders, seconded by Mr. Jones , end approved unanimously, that President 0 1 Donnell 1 s salary be set at $9000 a year begimiing July 1, 1954. The members of the Board said that President o •Donnell 1 s s ervice to the college should be recognized at least to the extent that his salary would be on a par with salar ies paid the other state college presidents . I President 0 1 Donnell was called back into the meeting and Mr. Sanders , Mr . Jones , and Mr. Butl er expl ained to him that his salary had been increased to $9000 a year beginning July 1, 1954, and that the secretary had been instructed to see that a claim for the additional $500 voted him for the current year be paid by July 1. President 0 1 Donnell thanked the Board and expressed his appreciation of the increase. RELATING TO SALE OF BONDS -INFORMATION ----- ---- -- --- -- --President O' Donnell reported that the bids on the construction of the new dormitory for men will be opened at Frankfort at 2:00 o ' clock (1 : 00 o ' clock Central Standard Ti.me) Friday afternoon, June 10. He said that the Board can make recommendations to the State Prope rty I and Buil dings Commission relative to the acceptance of the l ow bid when it meets to sell the bonds . PROMOTION OF MR. KEENE TO FULL PROFESSORSHIP --- - -- -- - - - - -----On reconnnendation of Dr. Clark, head of the English Depart- ment, approved by Dean Moore and by the President, the promotion of William L. Keene , associate professor of English, was approved by the Board, on motion by Mr. Sander s , seconded by Mr. Jones . RECOMMENDATION ON ROOM RENT RATE IN SULLIVAN HALL - -- - - - - - --- President O'Donnell recommended to the Board that the rate of r oom rent in Sullivan Hall be fixed at $2. 50 a week for all rooms which may be occupied by two persons and that a rate of $4 . 00 be charged for each of the six rooms fo r one per son in this building. He said that he anticipated t hat it may be necessary to inc rease the rent in Beckham, McCreary, and Miller halls from $2. 50 to $3. 00 a week when constr uction of the new dormitor y is completed and wher e a r ate of $3. 00 a person will probably need to be established. He said that in vieVT of the amount of maintenance necessary in halls I �occupied by men, a rate of $3. 00 a person per week does not seem to be unreasonable . The Pr esident told the Board, however, that action on this suggestion may be taken at a l ater time if and when we get the new dormitory. On I motion made by Mr. Sanders , seconded by Mr . J ones, the Board approved unanimously the fixing of the rate of room r ent in Sullivan Hall at $2. 50 a week fo r two- person rooms and $4. 00 a vreek for the six single r ooms in the buil ding . AUDIT FOR 1953- 54 President O' Donnell reported to the Board that the contract for the audit to be made by the Willia.~ Cotton Company has been approved by the Department of Finance. He said that Mr. Cotton had informed him that the work on the college 's accounts will begin not later than July 1. The audi t will be for the year 1953-54 and will keep us up to date on the condition of our financial ope rations , the Pr esident said. ENCROACHMENT ON COLLEGE PROPERTY I The Board ' s attention was called by the President to the fact that our Business Office has been unable to get Mr. C. C. Hughes to do anything a.bout the encroachment on coll ege property back of houses owned by him on the Summit. In order to a.void a future claim of ownership by r eason of peaceable possession of this proper ty over a period of years, he reconmended that the Board direct the Business Manager of the college to have the fence which has been built on college property r emoved by college employees and a new fence built betvreen Mr. Hughes I property and the college farm. President 0 1Donnell said that there is a. fence separating the college farm from other prope rties facing the Summit but a part of this fence was removed by unknovm and unauthorized parties -b.vo or three years ago along the line between the college farm and the property nov, owned I by Mr. Hughes . The President asked Mr . Brock, :SUsiness Manager , to c ome into the meeting to give some information about this encroachment. Mr, Brock said that employees of the college had built the fence dividing college property from that owned by Mr. Hughes after Mr. Hughes had moved back the house ,.,hich encroached on the college farm, but that a part of the fence had been removed by persons unknown so that �ga~ containers could be placed back of the house by the apartment tenants. These containers, he said, are on college property. Mr. Sanders suggested that an Anchor fenoe be constructed to prevent any possible removal of a part of the fence so that the oollege line may be preserved at all times. On motion by Mr. Sanders, seconded by Mr. Jones, the Business Manager was directed by the Board to have a heavy steel fence built along the line of the college property to prevent encroachment by any persons in that I vicinity. PROPOSED PORCH ON BACK OF STUDENT UNION BUILDING President O'Donnell reported to the Board that the architects for the Student Union Building, Weber&: Weber, had in the original plan a back poroh whioh was never built and which was possibly eliminated from the original contract 1n order to bring the cost of the building within available funds. Even novr, the President said, the poroh which the Webers designed would probably cost more money than the Board would be willing to spend, but he expressed the belief that if the plans were re-studied our architeots could bring the cost within our ability top~ for it without serious loss of beauty, symmetry, or utility. The President said that the porch is needed badly, since the college enrollment for the two semesters of the regular school I year has increased approximately fifty percent since the Union Building was constructed, and the summer school enrollment has increased more than one hundred percent. The President said the recreation room in the basement of the building is crowded far beyond capacity during the hours when all students are free to use it and that the porch, which was originally planned as an extension of the ground floor, would add much to the usef'ulness of the building. The doors leading from the grill to the proposed porch were included in the original contract. There would be no problem, therefore, in providing access to the porch from the grill, he added. President O'Donnell said that he had no estimate of the cost of this new construction but he believed the cost would not be more than $6000 or $8000. Since students using the building are paying for it, the President said he hoped the poroh can be built for their convenience. He also said that this construction would stop, at least for a time, the rather persistent demands that students be allowed to expand their recreation space so as to include the main lobby and Walnut Hall. The plan, as originally drawn by the Webers, was showed to the Board members by President O'Donnell. The size of the porch was about 40 x 60 feet. I �- 31..,9 After considerable discussion by the members of the Board concerning the probable cost of the proposed porch, the Board recommended that the President bring the matter up at the next meeting for their further consideration. REQUEST OF BAPTIST STUDENT UNION TO PURCHASE A I.OT ON COLLEGE PROPERTY I President O'Donnell read to the Board a letter from a committee representing the Baptist Student Union in which a proposal was ma.de to bl.J¥ a lot from the college for the purpose of erecting, when money is available, a building to be used for religious and recreational purposes under the sponsorship of Baptist students who are enrolled at Eastern from year to year. The President said that the Baptist group has selected as a desirable site the lot immediately south of the college-owned house now occupied by Dr. Fred Giles on South Second Street. President O'Donnell said that, although he could not make a recommendation at this time relative to the Union's request, he was glad to report to the Board that the Baptist Student Union is one of the most aggressive and helpful organizations on Eastern's campus. I From the stand- point of recruitment of students, he continued, the college has no other organization that is quite so effective as the Baptist group. This denom- ination has by far the largest representation on the campus, the President said. The lot which the group would like to have is on the northern edge of the acreage which the college owns on South Second Street. It is separated from the main campus by approximately 600 feet of vacant lots. President O'Donnell said he believed the building which the Bap- tists want to construct would contribute something very valuable to the spiritual life of the campus. The members of the Board individually stated their doubts about the advisability of setting a precedent of this sort, saying that if a I lot is sold to the Baptist group, probably other denominations would also want to purchase lots and could justify their request because of the sale of a lot to the Baptists . The President said the lot would have to be sold at public auction but that the Baptists had told him they would outbid anyone for it. Af'ter a lengthy discussion of the various problems which could arise relative to the proposed sale of a part of the college property, the �- .330 Board decided to postpone any decision in the matter until a later time.

I The amount by which the payments in any fiscal year exceed the aggregate amount of interest on and principal of said bonds then currently becoming due shall be held in said Bond Fund whenever and so long as such amount of the bonds shall have been retired that the amount then held in the Bond Fund, including the reserve tor contingencies, is equal to the entire amount of the principal and interest that is to be paid on allot such bonds then remaining outstanding. If, for any reason, there shall be a failure to make any payments into such Bond Fund as aforesaid during any fiscal year, any sums then held as a reserve tor contingencies shall be used for the payment of any portion of the interest or principal on which bonds there would otherwise be default, but such reserve shall be reimbursed therefor from the first available p~ents made into the Bond Fund in the following year or years in excess of the required p83IJ1ent for the then current fiscal year. All moneys held in the Bond Fund or as a reserve for contingencies shall be deposited in a bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; and the moneys held as the reserve for contingencies may be invested in direct obligations of the United States of America; provided, however, that sale ot a sutticient amount of such obligations shall be made in the event that it shall prove necessary to draw upon said reserve, and provided further that moneys so held may be applied to the redemption of bonds prior to their maturities. I The payments hereinabove provided into said Bond Fund from the Revenue Fund shall be made in equal monthly installments on the first day of each month, except when the first day of any such month shall be on a Sunday or a legal holid~, in which event such payment shall be made on the next succeeding secular day. The balance then and from time to time remaining in the Donnitory Revenue Fund may be set aside for the necessary expenses ot operation and maintenance, as hereinaf'ter more fully provided. In the event that the moneys held in the Revenue Fund in any month shall be insufficient to make the aforesaid payments in full, any such deficiency shall be added to the amounts required to be paid into such Bond Fund in the following month. The Bond Fund hereinabove created and described shall be used solely and only for the purpose ot paying principal of and interest on the bonds herein authorized to be issued, and is hereby irrevocably pledged for that purpose and shall be used for no other purpose whatsoever. The balance of the moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund after the aforesaid payments into the Bond Fund shall be set aside into an 'Operation and Maintenance Account,' hereby created, and all moneys set aside in said account shall be used for proper operation and maintenance of said Project, including an amount sufficient to pq the cost of insurance. I Sections. While the bonds authorized hereunder, or any of them, remain outstanding and rmpaid, the rents and charges for all services rendered by the Project, and fees charged to the students, groups of students, or student organizations, of Eastern Kentucky State College shall be reasonable and just, taking into account and consideration the cost and value of said Project, the cost of maintaining and operating the same, the amounts necessary for the retirement of all bonds and the accruing interest on all such bonds as may be sold and are unpaid under the provisions of this Resolution, and there shall be charged against Eastern Kentucky State College such amounts for services rendered by the Project as shall be adequate, together with rents and fees charged �to students. groups ot students. or student organizations. to meet the requirements of this and the two preceding seotions hereof.

MI~UTES OF PREVIJUS 1lliETING On motion of Mr. Jones, seconded by Judge Kauffman, the minutes of the meeting of Feoruary 20, 1950, were approved as sent to the members of the Board by mail. RESIGNATIONS A.~D STAFF APPOINTMENTS President O'Donnell reported that Dr. Claudia Rice has submitted her resignation from the faculty and will leave her present I position as teacher of English and Spanish at the close of this semester. Miss Martha Sargent, colle 6e nurse, has also submitted her resignation effective June 1, he reported. Dr. Blanton, the college physician, recommended the appointment of Mrs. Georgia r..nderson, of Somerset, to replace Miss Sargent. President O'Donnell said that he concurred in this recommendation and asked the ooard to approve Mrs . Mderson for the position of college nurse at a salary of tl~O a month plus room and board. Mrs. Anderson is a graduate nurse with fifteen or more years of experience, he stated• .Mrs. Mildred Brandenburg, of Hichmond, resigned her position as secretary in the Music Department as of May 1, President O'Donnell I reported. He reccmmended the employment of Mrs. W. c. Younce, also of ttichmond, to replace Mrs. Brandenburg at a salary of $100 a month beginning April 25. On motion of Mr. Jones, seconded by Judge Kauffman, the appointment of Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Younce at the salaries named was approved by the .board, with all members voting 11 ay:e" upon roll call. �-16 TEMPORARY APPOINTI.'.ENTS President O'Donnell recommended the employment of Mrs. Mary Dorris McLaughlin at $JO . CO a week to teach Music 171 and MUsic 26o daily from april J to June 1. Mrs. McLaughlin is the daughter of Dt'• J. T • .Dorris and taught music for a number of years in the M~sville public school, he stated. He also asked that Mrs. Louise Mcilvaine's salary be increased from 'ii'l60 to $26o a month beginning April J. I He said that it was neces- sary to assign additional wor k to Mrs. Mcilvai. ne on April J because of the increased enrollment for the spring term. This is a temporary appointment which will end June 1, President O'Donnell added. Mr. C. t. Hutchinson, principal of the Silver Street Elementary School, New Albany, Indiana, was nominated by President O'Donnell to teach graduate courses in education from June 5 to July 28 at a salary of $800 for this period. President O'Donnell nominated Miss Claudia Payne, teacher of art in the 1''ort Thomas city school system, t o t each classes in art for 5½ weeks beginning June 5 at a salary of ~450 for the period. Miss Payne served on the summer school faculty last year.

Cosby has both the A. b. and M. A. degrees fran tastern and taught in the summer school last year. On motion of Judge Kauffman, seconded by Mr. Jones, the temporary appointments listed above were approved by the Hoard, wi. th all members voting "aye" upon roll call. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR Ml{. GATWOOD President O' Donnell recommended that Mr. Dean Gatwood, teacher of art, be given a leave of absence without pay during the month of June to enable him to do student t ~aching in music . Mr. Gatwo~d is stueying for the Ph.D. degree at the University of Kentucky but he must complete a course in student teachi:1g to satisfy the admission requirements for that degree, President 0 1 Donnell said. On motion of Mr. Jones, seconded by Judge Kauffman, the leave of absence for .Mr . uatwooci was approved, with all members of the ~oard voting aye 11 upon roll call. 11 I �- 11 LETTER TO THE BOARD President O1 Donnell said that he wished t.o make the subject matter of his letter of April 24 to the members of the Board a part of his official report. I It is in part as follows: "Our enrollment nar totals 1632, which is an increase of 72 over the enrollment for this period of last year. We would have more stuaents if living quarters were available. Men have been moved out of the barracks into the west end of the stadium, which was formerly used as dressing rooms for the football teams. The football teams now use the basement of the new addition to the Health Buil ding, and this enabled us to convert the west end of the stadium into a dormitory for men. Women and married couples are now housed in the barracks buildings. This has worked out even better than we had reason to hope it would. In fact, the women really like the barracks. They much prefer to live there than to take high priced rooms in town, even if the rooms were available. Nothing has been done about planning a new dormitory for men. I have been pressuring the Webers to complete plans for the addition to the Science Building at the earliest possible time, because we have a chance to finance the addition from funds which the Building Commission now has in the appropriation made by the Legislature two years ago. If tre Webers will complete the plans in time, the Building Commission will probably let a contract before June JO for this addition. We can probably get the dormitory from the Building Commission after July l, when it will have an additional $16.,000,000 for capital outlay during the next biennium. There no longer seems to be aey douot about the construction of the addition to the Science Building. The Building Commission is definitely committed to complete this project. 11 I "I suppose you know that when the Legislature repealed the Day Law, it placed upon each one of the colleges the responsibility of determining wrether it will accept Negro students. This enables the opponents of segregation to center their campaign on each college with tre expectation that when one college yields, the otrers will not be very far behind. Western and Eastern have already received applications from Negroes who wish to attend the summer session. We have advised our applicants to go to the University or to Berea or to the State College in Frankfort." President O'Donnell said that the science faculty had made I so many changes arxi additions since the plans were originally made for the addition to the Science Building that the cost would be about $450,000 instead of the first estimate of $250,000. to the members of the Board. he He showed the plans stated that the addition would be constructed at tre back of the present Science Buildin6 with a corridor over the present driveway at the second and third floor levels. It will house ph,ysics, bacteriology, biology, a.~d chemistry. �-/fJ FOREIGN STUDENTS President O'Donnell told the members of the Board that the Institute of International Education has requested the college to give scholarships covering room and fees to three Joung women from Germany and one from Indo-China • .tie women from the Philippines and a young man said that four young from China had been here the past year under this scholarship arrangement. transportation is provided by the Fulbright fund. Their I President O'Donnell said that all of these foreign students have been popular on the campus and excellent students, and that he had tentatively agreed to take the young women from Germany next year. TENNIS COURTS President O'Donnell said that the report made by the Griffenhagen Associates several years ago recommended that additional tennis courts be constructed to supplement the five the college alread_y has. He stated that it has been almost impossible to keep three of these five courts in pl~ing coodition because of the clay base, which becomes soft as flour after the thin crust is broken. The two asphalt courts which were constructed about fifteen years ago need to be resurfaced, President O'Donnell reported. that the two asphalt courts be I He recommended resurfaced and that blacktop and rock asphalt be put on the three clay courts. This work on the tennis courts is estimated to cost approximately $5,000, President O'Donnell said, but when it is completed we shall have five good tennis courts for the next fifteen or twenty years. He stated that he realized that $5,000 is a considerable sum of money but we must spend money on facilities to provide l6o0 students with wholesome recreational activities. Members of the Board agreed that it would be good policy to improve the tennis courts and, on motion of Mr. Jones, seconded by Judge Kauffman, with all members voting "8J'e 11 upon roll call, the Board approved the work on the tennis courts as descrioed above. SUJlllliER SCHOOL President O'Donnell reported tnat a large attenaance is expected during the summer session and that nearly all rooms on the campus have alread_y been reserved. There will be two terms, one I �-19 eight weeks in length and one five and one half weeks in length, both beginning June 5. President O'Donnell said that we will need to have the men vacate Sullivan Hall so that it may be used by women students and the girls who will attend the Foster Music Camp. The boys in the Music Camp will be housed, as heretofore, in some of the I barracks. MUSIC CAMP The Stephen Foster Music Camp will open June 18 and close July 22, President O'Donnell stated. The camp has a number of com- petitors this year but the President expressed the belief that no other camp will be able to compete with Eastern's because we have already established a reputation not only in Kentucky but also in North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. Students from 12 states attended the Music Camp last year. President O'Donnell said that the housing of the Music Camp students was difficult because of the use of the dormitory roans only five weeks of the eight weeks of the summer session. I SALARIES OF FACULTY - & ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF 1950:51 President O'Donnell made the following report on salaries for the coming year: "l am submitting herewith for your approval. uzy- recommendations concerning salaries to be paid the members of the faculty and administrative staff during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1950. These recommenda11.ions will bring our salaries somewhat above those paid at the other State colleges, but our situation is complicated by the fact that we are near the University of Kentucky where the median salaries for the several ranks are several hundred dollars higher than they are here at Eastern. •Last year I reported to you that the median salary paid I to professors at the University was i6,190, while the median salary !or associate professors and assistant professors was $5,100 and $4,430 respectively. I do not know what changes, if any, have been made in these !lledians since last year. If you approve my salary recommendations for 1950-51, the median salary for professors will be f5,lOO, for associate professors professors. ,J,tlSO, and $3,800 for assistant The average salaries will be i4,9JO for professors, �-20 $4,000 for associate professors, $3,735 for assistant professors, and $3,300 for instructors. "iiie have a number of vacancies on the faculty and, of course, for obvious reasons, no salary is recommended for the positions that are now open. We will need someone to replace Mr. Casey, Mr. Nath, Mr. Basye, and Dr. Rice. The Music Department is also eager to have an additional member to direct the college band and t o t each some I of the band instruments, but I have made no commitment s on this request. 1$, when Mr. Nath will remain with us until September he will enter the Graduate School of the University of Kentucky as a full-tillle student. I ask you to approve his employment for 2½ months at his present salary. nAU recommended increases in salary for 19$0-Sl total i 9,900 for the faculty and ~2,370 for the administrati ve staff. Later in the year we will need to make some adjustment s in the wages paid to members of the maintenance force, but I antici pate that the total of all increases will be approximately $14,000. "I do not know how long we can maintain our salaries at the proposed level, but I am confident that we wil l not need to I reduce them during the biennium beginning July 1. "In approving the salaries for members of the administrative staff, I ask you to include the stipulation that staff members may be assigned by the President at any time t o offices and respon- sibi lities where they are needed most and where, in his j udgment, they can render their best service to the college.

The 26 who held the rank of assistant professor ten years ago now receive an average of $1615 more per year.n After some discussion of the salary schedule by the Board, on motion of Judge Kauffman, seconded by Mr. Jones, it was approved as presented, with all members voting "aye" upon roll call. The members of the Board indicated a willingness to increase the salary of the President to $7500 but he requested that it not be done at this time. I He called attention to the fact that the Presi- dent's home had to be renovated, with repairs to the plastering, new pep~r for all the rooms, and refinishing of the .floors and woodwork. The work was being done by the maintenance men of the college and the workmanship was excellent, President 0 1 Donnell said. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS President O'Donnell called attention to the Balance Sheet of Current Assets and Liabilities showing current assets totaling $210,705.99 plus ¥121,423.74 estimated due from the Government for G. r. tees and books. Mr. Hodgkin asked if any painting were to be �-2.6 done this summer. He said he had noticed that some of the build- ings needed painting and that the President's home had needed repairs and painting. President O'Donnell replied that the build- ings would be painted this summer and that four painters on the maintenance force were doing this work. AUDIT Judge Kauffman brougl1'f:7ip the question of an audit and said he thought it would be good business to have an audit made. He asked what had been done about making the audit. I President O'Donnell replied that nothing had been done about it because the .doard had decided previousl;r that the State auditors should make it. After some discussion and e:xpression by all members present that a complete audit by a private firm should be made, Mr. Jones made a motion that an accounting finn should be employed to make an audit of the college accounts. The motion was seconded by Judge Kauffman and approved by the Board, 'With all members voting "aye" upon roll call. Mr. Hodgkin expressed the opinion that the Governor would have to approve the employment of a firm to make the audit. ENROLIJ.lENT FIGURES .Mr. Hodgkin called attention to the enrollment by counties, I aid members of the Board read the list of counties with the number of students enrolled from each county. Mr. Hodgkin said that large num- bers were enrolled from Pennsylvania. President O'Donnell said these students from Pennsylvania are not all athletes, but that the reason we have so many athletes from Pennsylvania is that there are a great many good football and basketball men in that area and that the good athletes from Kentucky high schools think they should go to the larger colleges such as Notre Dame, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, etc., even though frequently they do not get to play after enrolling in such colleges. ADJOURNMENT On motion of Judge Kauffman, seconded by Mr. Jones, the Board moved to adjourn, and the meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a. m. President O'Donnell invited the members of the Board to have lunch with him in the Student Union Building .

Title A name given to the resource President's Office Records - O'Donnell Description An account of the resource The official and personal papers of Eastern's fifth president, William O'Donnell, comprise 182 boxes of materials covering the years 1909 -1964. The bulk of the collection is organized into the Subject Series (Boxes 26-182) and gives insights into the daily workings of a school moving from the troubled times of World War II into the transitional period the 1950's. Included are subjects as various as correspondence with faculty and staff by both the President and the Dean, enrollment figures, dealings with the Army during World War II and the Extension Division. The smaller General Series (Boxes 1-25) contains a great deal of material which overlaps and connects with the Subject Series. Therefore, the two Series should be cross-referenced by users.
