recommendations as indicated in the President's statement. The motion
was seconded by Regent Power and unanimously adopted.
Regent Brablec asked whether the University's reply to the Compliance Report under the Nondiscrimination Provisions of U. S. government
contracts (p. 646) had elicited any acknowledgment from Washington.
The Vice-President in charge of business and finance said there had
been none to date.
The President reminded the Regents that the University seldom had
waited as long as it has been waiting this year for action from the legislature concerning its allocation of monies to the University for the new
budget. "At this time," he said, "we still have been given no definite
time when we may expect an answer."
He said when the clarification on the issue develops, he would
notify the Regents and call them to a special meeting in order to plan
the University's budget for 1963-64.
Athletic Facilities: After careful and detailed consideration of the report of the Plant
Student Fees not Expansion Committee of the Board in Control of Intercollegiate AthTo Be Raised
To Provide letics (p. 668), the Regents declined the request that student fees be
increased to raise additional funds for the enlargement of athletic
facilities.
The further suggestion that funds be raised through the sale of
athletic coupon books was referred back to the Board in Control, since
the Board in Control has the power, within its delegated authority, to
offer such books for sale.
Regents Goebel and Matthaei voted against the motion.
It was further agreed that the Vice-President in charge of business
and finance would make a study of the maintenance cost of the athletic
plant and of what might be entailed in transferring the maintenance
cost of intramural facilities from the athletic budget to the general
fund budget.
