MINUTES OF THE MEETING
OF THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
April 18, 1969
Miscellaneous from the Finance Committee meeting:
Secretary Breslin informed the Trustees that he had been
asked to serve as a member of the permanent Senate Educational
Advisory Committee to the Special Committee to Investigate
Colleges and Universities chaired by State Senator Robert
J. Huber.
After discussion, the Trustees instructed Acting President
Adams, Chancellor Varner, and
Secretary Breslin to determine who best from MSU and Oakland
University should serve on this committee. It was the consensus
of the Board of Trustees that the Secretary should not serve
on the permanent Senate Educational Advisory Committee.
Chancellor Varner explained that the Kresge Foundation had
recently made a grant to Oakland University in the amount
of $100,000 for expanded dressing facilities at Baldwin Pavilion.
To have these facilities ready for the summer season, Chancellor
Varner asked that the Trustees authorize the taking of bids
immediately. Upon receipt of bids, the Trustees will be called
and advised of the bids and asked to approve immediate construction,
assuming the bids do not exceed the budget of $100,000.
On motion by Mr. Hartman, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was
voted to approve the above procedure.
Regular meeting minutes:
Mr. Huff reintroduced the following motion which he submitted
at the February Trustees meeting and which was referred to
the Academic Council for study and recommendations:
Any increase in appropriations from the legislature this
year be used to support up to an additional 1,000 MSU and
100 Oakland University disadvantaged first-year students.
Provost Neville reported that the committee appointed by
the Academic Council has not had sufficient time to complete
their report and would like to submit their recommendations
at the May meeting.
Following discussion, Mr. Huff moved, seconded by
Mr. White, that additional legislative funds which may become
available be assigned on a high priority basis to the recruitment
and admission of as large a number as possible of qualified
disadvantaged students, both graduates and undergraduate,
from the state of Michigan. Motion carried, with Mr.
Merriman voting "No."

At the Trustees' meeting on January 18, 1968, a grant of
$37,706 was accepted from Mr. and Mrs. George T. Trumbull
to cover the cost of improvements made to the Trumbull Terrace
on the grounds of the Meadow Brook Music Festival. This amount
should be corrected to $37,000.
Communication from Chancellor Varner:
The Board of Trustees at their March 20 meeting approved
an increase in the course fees of the Meadow Brook School
of Music from $40 to $45 per week. We neglected, however,
to request approval for a change in fee from $500 to $300
for the four-week master classes, which this summer will be
conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy, pianist, and Itzhak Perlman,
violinist, The proposed reduction in course fees results essentially
from a significantly lower cost of engaging the instructional
artists.
On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Dr. Martin, it was
voted to approve the Oakland University items.
