Proceedings of the Board of Regents (1963-1966)

SEPTEMBER MEETING, 1964

Motors Corporation had signed a long-term lease with the University
for hangar and office space for its fleet at the airport, the agreement
to be effective January 1, 1966.
Ever since the University acquired the airport in 1947 from the
federal government, the Vice-President said, people had been asking
what will happen to the airport. The Vice-President said the University
had only one obligation to the government, and that was to keep Willow
Run as a public airport. He said Willow Run had been financially selfsustaining; that the Hoover Ball and Bearing Company, of Ann Arbor,
and Great Lakes Airmotive Incorporated are among the corporations
that will continue using the airport. The Federal Aviation Agency
Flight Standards District Office, which has been located at Willow Run,
will remain there. The Vice-President said it was expected that airline
activities would move from Willow Run as soon as facilities are completed at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport next year. The Vice-President said, "The University has an increasing number of planes for its
own research purposes. The move of the airlines will accordingly give
us an opportunity to take care of our own planes more effectively."
The Regents agreed upon the following calendar of meetings from
October, 1964, through June, 1965: Friday, October 23, with a dinner
meeting following. It was decided to follow the usual pattern of dinner
at the Inglis House on Thursday evening followed by the public meeting the next day for the rest of the calendar, as follows: November
19-20; December 17-18; January 14-15; February 18-19; March 18-19;
April 15-16; May 20-21; June 17-18.
All of the above actions were by unanimous vote.
Regent Goebel's travel expense voucher for attendance at the May,
June, and July Regents' meetings and at other University meetings in
the amount of $82.80 was approved.
Transportation expenses and accommodation costs for The Regents
of the University of Michigan for the month of July, 1964. totaled
$492.27, and for the month of August, 1964, totaled $475.60.
The Regents adjourned to meet on Friday, October 23.
