Show moreWWU - AS Board of Directors Minutes 195205 Page 1 May 7, 1952 Th meeting was called to order by the president, Dick Pederson; minutes were approved as read. A motion was made to give $45. to the collegian to reinburse them for the salary of last summer's business manager. They had had to return their excess funds before his salary could be payed and therefore had to take his salary from another fund. The motion was seconded and unanimously passed. The secretary gave the financial covering the period from Feb. 29-April 30th. The question was brought up why the Forensic dept. funds were transferred over into club funds. Also in connection with finances, Dick reported that he had seen the Drama Depart. and the business office to make sure we were not billed for any expenses in connection with Dedication Week. A motion was passed to approve the financial report. Mr. Lappenbusch had asked if it was necessary for the board to approve his award recommendations. The board referred to the Bylaws, section 2 under awards, which states that this policy has to be followed. The secretary is to inform him of this and also, that the board confirmed his awards in basketball and swimming this year. Mr. Gelder reported that the administration was adhering to out policy not to restrict the use of the lounge at any time to any one group in that they were using the Blue room at edens Hall for the faculty reception for Seniors. Dick reported that a bill for $114.84 had to be paid by the ASB as a compensating tax for all out of state purchases since 1949. (this tax reimburses the government 3% of all out of state purchases). A motion was made to pay the bill out of budget control; seconded and unanimously passed. A motion was made that in the future, the tax will be kept month by month and after August 22, the compensating tax on all purchases be absorbed by the department making the purchases; seconded and unanimously passed. The department heads are to be informed of this motion. It was decided to have the next board of control meeting at 4:00, Thursday, May 15th. The final draft of the budget is to be due May 28th. Dick talked to the board about the Evergreen Conference and urged the members to attend the sessions. Session times will be listed in the daily bulletin. 195205 Page 2 May 15, 1952 The meeting was called to order by the president, Dick Pederson; minutes were approved as read. Dick read a letter of thanks from Whitworth College regarding the very successful Evergreen Conference held at Western. Dick felt that it had been very well received and that financially we would come out ahead. Next year's host for the conference is PLC. Larry Wilson gave a report on the Exchange assembly. He said approximately $393. had been cleared up to date. The board discussed possible ways of tranportating the show over to Central and a motion was made that the matter of transportation be left to Larry's discretion; seconded and unanimously passed. Dr. Kuder asked the board their opinion on having Mr. Sol Lewis speak to the entire student body during one of the vacant assembly periods in an effort to instill enthusiasm in the students regarding our college and its opportunities. These students in turn could interest other students in attending the college. Discussion followed but no definite decisions were made. Morris Anderson was present to give his recommendation on the percentage of co-op receipts which he felt should be given back in divends. After discussion of the matter, in keeping with his recommendation, a motion was made that the board of control authorize the Co-op committee to give a $0.10 dividend on $13,203.92 co-op receipts submitted; seconded and unanimously passed. The date for next week's board meeting was set at 4:00 pm Thursday 22nd. It is to be devoted solely to budget matters. The faculty members on the board agreed to send a note to the faculty members asking them to cooperate in not scheduling tests on the day, or the day after, the students are at Central for the Exchange assembly. Mark Hardie was given an o.k. by the board to schedule next year's Campus Day a week earlier or a week later than previously, on next year's calendar. Milt CLothier handed out the first draft of the budget and asked everyone to go over it carefully and ask about anything they questioned. The meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Anne Griffiths Secretary 195205 Page 3 May 22, 1952 The meeting was called to orer by the vice-president, Larry Wilson. Minutes were approved as read. The board members were informed of an invitation from Dr. Haggard to attend his annual picnic for board members and office staff. It will be held Tues. May 27, 6:00 P.M. at Gooseberry Point. A motion was made setting the time limit for discussion of budget matter at 5:30; seconded and unanimously passed. Budgets under consideration at this meeting were: Administration, Social, Drama, and Women's P.E. Suggestions were made up of changes on certain items. The question was brought up as to who supplies the equipment for Thursday night rec. hours. before moving on to other business, the decision was made to consider the Forensic and Music budgets at the next meeting, and ask Mr. Carlile and Dr. D'Andrea to be present when their respective budgets were being discussed. Larry read the letters of application for student publications positions and Mrs. Burnet's recommendations. The following appointments were made: Paul Gillie Editor, 1952 summer Collegian Lorreta Olson Business Manager, 1952 summer Collegian Elaine Daverine Editor, 1952-53 Collegian Lorreta Olson Business Manager, 1952-53 Collegian Clint Doherty Editor, 1952-53 Profile In each case, a motion was passed making the appointments official. JoAnn Hoyt requested $25. for the Klipsun's share of the publication's banquet. A motion was passed granting the $25.00, to be taken from the Social Budget. A motion was passed that $48.52 be appropriated the Scholarship Society for their banquet; amount to be taken from Budget Control. The board expressed their appreciation to Miss Heber for her services as chaperone on the trip to Central with the Exchange Assembly group. A letter is to be sent Dr. Taylor thanking him for his services. Befoe adjournment, the Board decided to call a special meeting on Monday, May 26th, 4:00 P.M. to deal with budget matters. The meeting was adjourned. Anne Griffiths Secretary 195205 Page 4 May 26, 1952 Minute of Special Meeting (Budget) - The meeting was called to order by the president, Dick Pederson. Minutes were approved as read. Dick read a list from Miss Church of names of those attending the picnic at Gooseberry Point. Dick also informed the board that the Campus Day report and the financial report from the Evergreen Conference would be in by the next meeting. Mr. Lappenbusch was present to request funds to send three athletes to the N.A.I.A. tournament at Abilene, Texas, June 6th and 7th. Action on the matter was postponed until the latter part of the meeting as that budget matters could be taken care of first. Mr. Walters and Mr. Regier were present to answer any questions concerning the music budget. After considerable discussion, a motion was made by Larry Wilson that the Music Department be requested to prepare for approval by the Board of Control, the final draft of the Music budget, not to exceed $4,000; seconded and passed with a vote of 10 for; 1 opposed. A suggestion was made by Mr. Gelder that a Capital Outlay fund be set up which would allow the departments to carry over funds, such as a robe fund for the music dept. of a typewriter repair fund for the Collegian. Dr. Haggard had received a request from the YMCA that they be given permission to use Lakewood on Thursday evening, June 16th and for 5 subsequent Thursdays. A motion was made by Dr. Cederstrom granting them permission; seconded. Mr. Gelder moved that the motion e tabled until the chairman of the Student Properties committee could investigate the type of program they would be carrying on and if they wanted exclusive rights for the use of Lakewood on those nights; he is to report back at the next meeting. the motion was seconded and unanimously passed. A suggestion was made that, if permission were granted, the Board should first obtain from the YMCA a written waver of responsibility. The matter of sending the athletes to the tournament was again brought up. The board discussed the problem of finances, and a motion was made by Larry Wilson that Mr. Lappenbusch be informed that the Board felt it was unable to finance the trip to NAIA tournament for the three recommended athletes; seconded.

Show moreWWU - AS Board of Directors Minutes 1947 June page 1 June 6, 1947 Don Packard called the meeting to order at four o'clock, and the minutes were read, corrected, and approved. Donna Redmond gave a report on the recent Co-op Board meeting. A motion was carried to hire Mr. Earle on a full-time basis at an annual salary of $3,600 subject to clarification of his duties. The Co-op Board will work with Mr. Earle to determine his specific duties. Miss Kangley voiced the general opinion when she mentioned that the atmosphere and service in the Co-op need improvment. A motion was carried allowing Arnold Lahti to be awarded four stars on his blanket for tennis. We discueed the National Student Organization movement. A motion was carried not to send a delegate to the coming Constitutional Convention at the University of Wisconsin. A letter from Clark Brown was read stating that because the 1947 Klipsun is financially sound, the three hundred dollars which was underwritten by the Board of Control is unnecessary. The secretary was appointed to write the Klipsun staff a letter of congratulations upon their publication. Don Packard has asked Mr. Lobe from B.B. Furniture to come to the Student Lounge tomorrow to look over the thirteen chairs recently purchased. There should be an adjustment made because the furniture is not wearing at all well. The expense account from the recent trip made to the ASB Presidents' Convention in Vancouver, B.C., by Halldor Karason and Don Packard was accepted. The sports banquet would have been much more successful had a different date been selected. Due to the interference of the holiday, less than fifty per cent of the number expected were present. There were several suggestions for changes to next year's banquet. There was a discussion concerning the sale of cigarettes in the Co-op. A motion was carried empowering Mr. Earle to sell cigarettes in the Co-op. Don Brown will inform Dr. Haggard of this action. It has become necessary to exchange the location of the men's locker room and the ski shop in order to give Mr. Earle an outside entrance for the delivery of Co-op parcels. There has been considerable discussion on this point, and there 1947 June page 2 June 6, 1947 cont. seems to be opposition to the proposed arrangement. The meeting adjourned at five-fourty-five.

A general discussion then followed touching matters of vital interest to the three normal schools, which was finally embodied in the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED by the three normal schools that we recommend as follows: (1) That the school year shall begin on the first Tuesday in September, of each year, and close about the first of June following. (2) That the summer session shall begin on the Monday following the annual Commencement, and close not later than August first following. (3) That the month of August shall be known as the regular midsummer vacation. (4) It shall be the duty of the principals of the three normal schools each year before the publication of the annual catalogues, to prepare a uniform calendar for use in all of the normal schools in the state for the following school year. (5) The salaries of all teachers regularly employed by the WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 083 1912-04-26 normal schools in the State shall be paid, each year, in twelve equal monthly payments, beginning with September; but it shall be understood that the salary of any teacher shall not be paid for the months of June and July, when such teacher, at his own request, is excused by the Board of Trustees from teaching in the summer session of the institution for that year, and it shall further be understood that each member of any faculty shall, without prejudice, be entitled to be excused from work in a summer session each alternate year, under conditions stated in this paragraph. (6) That teachers who may wish to be excused from service in any summer school session shall so signify such desire to the Principal not later than April 1st preceding the summer session. Moved and carried that it is the sense of this meeting that a uniform contract would be advantageous, and that the matter be submitted to Mr. Lund to prepare a draft with a view of having same approved and adopted by each of the normal schools. Moved and carried that we heartily endorse the Page Bill now pending in the United States Congress, and that we co-operate in every possible way to bring about its final passage during the present session. Touching the Page bill, the following resolution was adopted: "We believe the Page Bill provides more completely and more adequately for all the provisions of practical education than any bill of similar character having been proposed in our national legislative body. We feel that such a measure will guarantee a basis for the furtherance of this all-important educational work which is both needed and demanded throughout our country."

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 084 1912-04-26 The principal presented the appended: State Normal School Bellingham, Washington. To the Board of Trustees: The regular session of the school year for 1911-1912 will close Wednesday, June 5th, and the work of the year has witnessed a number of important improvements. Among these improvements may be mentioned the completion of the organization of the high school department in the training school; the addition of assistant teachers in the departments of English, foreign languages and home economics; the construction of some thirty oak book cases, the purchase of nearly one thousand volumes for the library and the employment of an assistant for this department; the erection of an open-air school building; the construction of a dozen pieces of playground apparatus; the installation of several drinking fountains, and the purchase of more than four thousand dollars' worth of apparatus for the various departments of the institution. While there has been no increase in the attendance over the previous year, the requirements for admission have been raised, and several new elective courses have been offered. The outlook for the summer session of 1912 and for the coming school year is very encouraging, and, in order that adequate preparation may be made for the session of the coming year, the following items are respectfully submitted for the consideration of the Board of Trustees. First: There is urgent need for an additional critic teacher in our training department. The gradual increase in the enrollment in our junior and senior classes has likewise increased the number of practice teachers each quarter, until at present it is necessary for certain critic teachers each to attempt to supervise, some quarters of the year, daily, the work of twenty-five to thirty practice teachers. It will be necessary to pay $1,200.00 to $1,400.00 per year for this additional teacher. It can probably be arranged so that the employment of this additional supervisor may be delayed until February, 1913, but we urge the desirability of formally establishing the position at this time, so that the work for the coming year may be intelligently outlined and assigned. Second: The establishment of the ninth and tenth grades in the training school has increased the enrollment of that department until we have at present about 160 children in the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades, one half of whom are boys. These eighty boys, together with the forty young men in the normal school, should be given additional opportunities for industrial training. The work in manual training offered in the institution at present is highly satisfactory for the girls in all classes of the institution, and these is plenty of work, with the girls alone, to occupy the full time of the two teachers now in the department. We recommend, therefore, the establishment of a department of industrial training for men, and the employment of a young man, for this coming year, if possible, to take charge of the work in manual training for the boys of all grades and classes in the institution. To carry forward this work successfully, this young man should be provided with materials from which to contruct, with student labor, a small wooden building in which to carry on his work. The salary for this position should be not less than $1,200.00 for the first year. Third: The very limited appropriation granted to this institution by the legislature for general printing purposes has, for a number of years, proven a constant handicap in the daily work as well as in the general advertising features of the institution. We believe, therefore, that it would be wise to provide equipment for a small printing office in the institution and have the same operated as a part of our regular manual training work. In this way, much printing could be done for the school with practically no cost except for materials used. Such an equipment need not cost more than $200.00 for the first year, as we already have considerable available material in our equipment for the writerpress, which is a printing machine for duplicating typewritten work. Fourth: During the past year, through a temporary arrangement, we have been able to give the young men of the school some systematic instruction in physical training, and by an expenditure of about $30.00 to $40.00 per month, this arrangement could be continued through another school year, and thus provide competent physical instruction for the young man, both in the gymnasium and on the athletic field. The young men of the normal school and of the high school grades have petitioned for this work, and it should, if possible, be provided. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 085 1912-04-26 Fifth: Owing to the failure of Mr. T. A. Bonser, of Spokane, to report for work in the department of zoology last September, it was necessary, just at the opening of the school year, to reorganize, to a limited extent, the assignments for work in the science departments for the current school year; but in the judgment of the writer, little loss was sustained as a result of the readjustment, and it is not believed that it will be necessary to fill that department for the coming year; but some provision should be made for carrying on the work of the department. We suggest two or three methods for taking care of this question: (a) The department may be continued and Mr. Moodie given the position of Professor of Botany and Acting Professor of Zoology. (b) The two departments might be consolidated into one general department to be called the "department of biology." If this is done, it will be necessary for teachers in other departments to assist in the work of this department, which is not always satisfactory or desirable, from the standpoint of members of the faculty. (c) The work of zoology might be added to the department of botany, and the work in physiology and hygiene added to the department of school nurse. By this plan, we probably could provide satisfactorily for the work of the department, for the present at least, and this we believe is the most desirable solution of the problem. In making this re-adjustment, it is recommended that the salaries of the teachers in the departments affected be reconsidered and suitable increases granted. Sixth. No department in the institution has met with more universal endorsement than that of Home Economics, and this department is seriously in need of additional room. By a readjustment of our museum, a large part of the third floor of the science building may be made available for this department, but the alterations necessary to render the rooms suitable for domestic science work would cost probably $250.00. If the Home economics department were moved to the third floor, the Y. W. C. A. might be moved to the basement, which would give an additional room for the high school work, and this will be needed in the near future. Unless we can see our way clear to erect a cottage within two or three years for the home economics department, the readjustment suggested above should be made at the first opportunity. Seventh. It is recommended that the Trustees authorize the further investigation of available lands for a demonstration garden, and that such steps be taken as may be necessary to lease land upon which to begin such demonstration work not later than April, 1915. Eighth: The resignation of Miss Ruth A. Gottlieb, as School Nurse, makes it necessary to secure a new instructor for that position. The importance and steady growth of this work make it imperative that the position shall not be left vacant for the coming year, and a number of letters of inquiry have already been sent out asking for candidates for the position. Ninth. We beg to report the resignation of Prof. G. Sidney Stark, as teacher of stringed instruments, and wish to recommend strongly Mrs. Mamie Davenport Engberg, of this city, to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Stark. We recommend, further, that the position be tendered Mrs. Engberg upon the same or similar terms as were accepted by Mr. Stark. Tenth. A study of the Recommendations passed at the joint meeting of the Boards of Trustees of the three State Normal Schools, held in Cheney, April 3rd, 1912, will suggest the need of a readjustment of the salaries of our faculty if these recommendations are adopted by this Board. The following brief analysis of the question will suggest the minimum increase in salaries that will approximately cover the extra service demanded of each teacher. At present, we really demand of each teacher three weeks of Summer school work in addition to the regular school year to entitle him to pay for all twelve months in the year. Under the new plan proposed, each teacher will be required to work about seven or eight weeks in addition to the regular school year to be entitled to pay for all twelve months of the calendar year, which means that we will require about one month more of work under the new plan WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 086 1912-04-26 from each teacher annually than we require under the present plan. It seems clear, therefore, that we must increase the salary of each teacher at least by the amount of one month of his salary if we are to compensate him for the extra service required under the new contract. This will mean an increase of $3,650.00 for the year and will increase the cost of salaries about $2,130 for the remainder of the present biennium. In the light of other urgent needs, as outlined above, this question of readjustment of salaries should receive very careful and yet, if possible, favorable consideration. All of which is respectfully submitted. Principal. The principal was authorized to investigate the matter of securing a man to assist in the teaching on the Manual Training department. He was also authorized to purchase a small printing press and some type. He was further authorized to engage a student assistant in the department of Physical Culture at a salary of from $30.00 to $40.00 per month. Miss Montgomery appeared before the Board by request to present her grievance that Miss Gray had been sent to Spokane to attend a meeting of the deans of the northwestern state schools while she, Miss Montgomery, had not been granted expenses to attend a meeting of the Inland Empire State Teachers association at Pendleton, Oregon, several years ago. The discussion extended over an hour but no action was taken. Trustee Donovan read a personal letter from Governor Hay announcing that he had been compelled to postpone his visit to Bellingham and this school until about the 20th of May. The chairman offered the written resignation, addressed to him, of Miss Gottlieb as School Nurse in the Department of Hygiene to take effect Sept. 1st, 1912. It was ordered that the resignation be accepted. The appended bills were approved for payment: MAINTENANCE FUND J. Wayland Clark, Registrar, Revolving Fund - $386.75. Ehrlich-Harrison Co. - 98.40.
