MINUTES OF THE MEETING
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
July 14, 1960
The State Department of Administration has asked
for submission of a long-range building program. Mr. May and
Secretary Miller presented a revision of the program presented
last year with the recommendation that the Board authorize
its submission.
On motion by Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Huff,
it was voted to approve the list as submitted with
an additional request for MSU-O. (This list is on file with
the material for this Board meeting.)
Mr. Varner requests that the Board authorize
the development of plans for an intramural building for Michigan
State University-Oakland to cost not to exceed $1,500,000
to be financed on a self-liquidating basis through the segregation
of a portion of the student fee. This will permit the planning
of the structure and the development of possible plans for
financing it through the sale of revenue bonds, all to be
submitted to the Board at a later date.
On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr.
Stevens, it was voted to approve the above item.
Mr. Varner presented a progress report on planning
under way at Michigan State University-Oakland contemplating
the possibility of a calendar based on trimesters rather than
quarters with all students expected to be in continuous attendance
for a college year beginning in early September and extending
through July. It may eventually be recommended that this program
become effective for the freshman class entering in the fall
of 1961.
