The motion was seconded by Mrs. Bastian, and upon the vote, the motion was carried unanimously. Board President Williamson stated that inasmuch as the gentlemen from the McDonnell Automation Center had been waiting for the Board for quite some time, he would like to invite them into the Board room to present their automation proposal. Consequently, Mr. C. T. Salisbury, Manager of Marketing Services, and Mr. D. G. Hogan, Marketing Representative, appeared before the Board. Mr. Salisbury advised Mr. Williamson that the report from the McDonnell Automation Center had been revised, in accordance with the discussion which took plac th Executive Session on October 16, 1962.

The reports were circulated among the members of the Board. Mr. McCalpin moved that the proposal of the McDonnell Automation Center be accepted, and that the Board authorize the President to accept the proposal. Mr. Geil seconded the motion. Board President Williamson stated that the proposal was opeit for discussion. Dr. Cosand said that inasmuch as Mr. James u. Hobson would be working very closely with the men from McDonnell, he would be interested to learn of his reaction to fheir informal meeting, h Id before the Board Meeting. Mr. Hobson said that he v?ould, of course, b very pleased to work with the McDonnell men. He added that they had had a very informative, interesting discussion, in the short time they were together, and he recommends their program whole-heartedly. Mr. John E. Tirrell, Vice-President in charge of Instructional Services, added that he, personally, felt that the Board of Trustees could look upon this as an investment over the next five years, rather than an immediate recommendation. Dr. Cosand stated that an operation of this type, started in the arly stages of the formation of The Junior College District, was a very unique und rtaking,, The University of Missouri, for instance, is just now delving into data processing. "" 3 •* Vice-President Tirrell added that tho services would be useful, later on,-in teaching/ End in. .the area of testing. Mr. Williamson called for a vote on the proposal which was presented by the McDonnell.Automation Center. It was passed, unanimously by the Board of Trustees. Mr. Salisbury stated that McDonnell is looking forward to the association with the Junior College. The fact that it is a unique undertaking makes it doubly attractive. Mr. Williamson, as Board President, and Mrs. Bastian, as Secretary of the Board, signed the report of the McDonnell Automation Center. It was sealed with the official Seal of The Junior College District of St. Louis - St. Louis County, Missouri. Board President Williamson then asked the Board of Trustees to consider the employment of Dr. Glynn Clark, as Director of the first college campus as recommended by President Cosand. A general discussion followed concerning this recommendation. Whereupon, on motion by Mr. Ruff in and seconded by Mrs. Bastian, the following resolution was proposed: RESOLVED, That Dr. Glynn Clark be elected to the position of Director of the first college campus, said employment to become effective Noveraber 5, 1962, at an annual salary rate of $14,500 for 11 months' services during the fiscal year July 1, 1962 to June 30, 1963t said salary to be prorated on the basis of services rendered for the remainder of the current fiscal year in accordance with the salary range for Campus Director which is hereby established as $14,000 to $16,000 per annum with increments of $500.00 per year.

Board President Williamson then asked the Board of Trustees to consider the employment of Mr. Vincent E. Freeman, as Registrar of the District and as recommended by President Cosand. A general discussion followed concerning this recommendation. Whereupon, on motion by Mr. Geil, seconded by Mrs. Bastian and upon a unanimous vote of all the members of the Board, it was: RESOLVED: That Mr. Vincent E. Freeman be elected to the position of Registrar of The Junior College District; said employment to become effective Thursday, November 15, 1962, at an annual salary in accordance with Step 4, Classification II of the salary schedule previously adopted by the Board, together with an additional remuneration of 75% of said Registrar's monthly salary for each of two extra months' services to be rendered to the District, or total working period of 11 months during the fiscal year; said total remuneration will, therefore, be $9,545.00 for an eleven month period and shall be prorated on the basis of services rendered for the remainder of the fiscal year. FURTHER RESOLVED, That Mr. Freeman and the District shall execute a contract on a form provided by the District; said contract to be signed by the President and Mr. Freeman and filed with the District's records. Board President Williamson asked President Cosand to advise Mr. Freeman of his appointment. Board President Williamson then asked the Board Members if there were any matters to be brought before the Board on points no. 3 (Curriculum and Instruction) and no. 4 (College Facilities). none, and so Mr. Williamson moved on to point no. 5.1: Reports. There were Purchase order 5.11 Printing of brochures for prospective students. President Cosand asked the Board for authority to go ahead with the proposed printing. 5.12 Electric Typewriter. President Cosand advised the Board that there was no advantage in leasing an electric typewriter, and asked the Board for permission to buy another IBM Electric Typewriter 17* Portfolio -"11 type. - 5 - = u,. • V"" " • ; / ^P - . . - . • • • • ' ,111, . . . • • ' ' • • • ' . „ • - . , , - . • • 'v- / // , .

President Cosand told the Board that it was the consensus of opinion that we were ready for a Pitn y Bowes stamp machine. In informal conversation, he told the Board that we would be permitted to use one on a trial basis to see if it were pertinent to our needs* 5.14 Additional office furniture aa needed to furnish the second floor offices. President Cosand told the Board that it would be necessary to purchase the additional office furniture around November 1. Board President Williamson asked for a motion \*ith respect to these purchase order reports. Mr. McCalpin moved that the President be authorized to proceed with these purchases, Mr. Ruffin seconded the motion, and upon the vote, the motion was unanimously approved. 5.2 Board President Williamson asked for a motion with respect to the payment of claims — the payment of personnel. The Executive Secretary, Mrs. Dolores Tygard, asked for permission to change the social security figure for October, from §36.11 to $34.72. Mr. Williamson granted this approval. Mr. McCalpin moved that the claims be paid, and Mrs. Bastian seconded it. It was approved unanimously. 5.3 Board President Williamson moved to the next order of busi- ness, tlie Payment of Claims. Mr. McCalpin moved that the Board approve the payment of claims which are listed on pages 7-A and 7-B. Mr. Glaser seconded the motion. Discussion followed: Mr, McCalpin raised a question on item 5.4, which reads as follows: "Payment of Claims (Special Fund)* Expense account allowanc for authorized attendance at CJCA Conference in Fresno, California, and visits to ten junior college campuses in California. ($250.00 each) for Board Members Mrs. Joseph C. Bastian and Mr. Guy S. Ruffin. It was the feeling of Mr. McCalpin that this should rightly come from the Incid ntal Fund, rather than.the Special Fund. Mr. McCalpin 9t also felt it would be advisable to apply for air travel credit cards for the District. The Board members agreed to thin. The motion to approve the payment of claims was passed unanimously. 5.2 Payment of Claims 5.21 Payment of Personnel: Alma Dougherty, Administrative Secretary Julia Bishop, Administrative Secretary 386.00 Dolores Tygard, Executive Secretary 339.17 Joseph P.

($250.00 each) Board Members: Mrs. Joseph Bastian; Mr. Guy Ruffin 500.00 President Cosand told the Board that over fifteen letters had been mailed to directors and presidents of California colleges, and these gentlemen had indicated that they were most anxious to have Mr. Ruffin and Mrs. Bastian visit their campuses, so that they could show them the physical and technical aspects of the different colleges. Board President Williamson moved to the next point on the Agenda no. 6: 6.1. Student Personnel Services. He asked the Board to consid r Scholarships and Loans: Mr. Williamson asked the Board members if they felt they had had sufficient time to consider the framework of the plan outlined on the supplemental report, or did they prefer to take this up at the next meeting• Mr. McCalpin raised a point concerning the word, "tuition", in the phrase, "Scholarship and Tuition Aid, Loan Basis". He felt there was a distinction in terminology* A discussion ensued among Mr. McCalpin, Mrs. Bastian, and Mr. Glaser, regarding the selection of the individual recipients of the scholarships which will eventually be offered to The Junior College District. Dr. Cosand added the point that it is the privilege of the donor to "define" the scholarship, but it is the perogative of the Board of Trustees and the faculty members - 9 - ^ ' J) / / to "select" the donor,. He added that he, p rsonally, f It it would be wiser to discourage tight definitions in the wording of the actual scholarships* Board President Williamson added that it was his intention to merely set up a framework for the people who would be sending in scholarships. Ee suggested that the Board review the situation at the next Board meeting, to be held on November 12, 1962. Board President Williamson then moved on to point 6.2 Admission Standards. He moved that the Board consider the Admission Standards recommended by President Cosand on the supplemental report. A discussion followed, led by Mr. McCalpin. He indicated that it would be advisable to use the correct corporate name in the wording of the Admission Standards. It had been noted as "Junior College District for St. Louis - St. Louis County" when it was, correctly, "The Junior College District of St. Louis - St. Louis County, Missouri". Mr. McCalpin went over the Admission Standards, point by point, with all of the Board Members entering into the discussion. The following is the corrected form of admission standards, as discussed in the meeting of the Board of Trustees: "6 STUDEWT PERSONNEL SERVICES 6.2 Admission standards The President recommends that the Board of Trustees consider the adoption of the following admission standards for students applying for admission to any one of the campuses to be established by The Junior College District of St. Louis - St. Louis County, Missouri. - 10- 1. Students residing in The Junior College District shall be admitted provided they have completed a:-: approved high school course \ or the equivalent thereof as determined by Sue Junior College District 2. Students not residing in The Junior College District may be admitted provided they are in the upper two-thirds of their high school graduating class, and if they score above the 33rd percentile in the college entrance examinations to be used by The Junior College District of St. Louis - St. Louis County, Missouri. 3. All entering students shall be required to take such ntrance tests as may be required by The Junior College District. These tests will be used in counseling students concerning enrollment in th various programs and classes offered by The Junior College District, and may in certain instances determine which courses and programs a student may take. 4. All entering students whose test scores place them in th lower third, based upon national norms, shall be admitted on academic probation and shall be limited to not more thaxjj twelve college credits in their first semester. Probationary students failing to achieve a grade average of "c" at the end of the £ir*t semester are subject to dismissal, but may be retained under such conditions as may be approved by the Scholastic Standards Committee of The Junior Colleg . 5. Any student whose cumulative average is less than "C" at the end of any semester shall be placed on academic probation for th fol- lowing semester and may be subject to dismissal if his average is not raised to a "C" at the end of the probationary semester. Any student whose average is below M C M at the end of a probationary semester will be allowed to register for further course work only under such conditions as may be imposed by th Scholastic Standards Committ o. - 11 - 6. Any student on academic probation from another college, or dismissed for academic reasona from another college, shall be admitt d only with the express approval of the Vice President in charge of Instructional Services and shall ie on probation for his first semester at The Junior College. 7. Students dismissed from The Junior College for academic reasons may petition the Scholastic Standards Committee, or the Vice President in charge of Instructional Services, for a reconsideration following an absence of at least one semester from The Junior College. If any reconsideration is granted, the student would be admitted only en academic probation. Ir. any case, no student would be given reconsideration v/ho had been dismissed for academic reasons more than once. 8. No diploma or certificate of completion, or any other award for academic achievement, shall be granted to any student achieving less than a "Cu average in the educational program for which the diploma, certificate of completion, or award is granted." A further point was raised by Mr. Ruffin when he indicated that the word "dismissal11 in point no. 4 is perhaps a bit harsh, and the word, "withdraw" might be substituted as a more tactful phrase in dealing with the student. It was the consensus of opinion, however, that the word, "withdraw" might prove to be ambiguous, and it would be well to use the original word, "dismissal". Mr. McCalpin also raised the point that itrins no. 5 and no. 8 are not necessarily constituted as "admission" standards, but are mor correctly "academic" standards. Perhaps they would belong with grading technioues and procedures, £k It was the general opinion, however, that these points would remain in the original docum nt. Board President Williamson asked for a motion from th Board of • W& Trustees, concerning the admission standards of The Junior College District of St. Louis - Gt. Louis County! Missouri• Mr. McCalpin moved that the Board adopt the standards, as amended. Mrs. Bastian seconded the motion. It was approved unanimously. Board President Williamson then asked President Cosand if h would bring the Board up to date on the results of his meeting with high school principals concerning temporary locations. Presid nt Cosand showed the Board an architectural drawing of one high school, and showed them how various class rooms and study halls could be partitioned, or made into areas suitable for the technical needs of the college. He said that the school authorities were extremely cooperative, and if the Board were interested he felt it would be appropriate to call a meeting with appropriate officials with respect to negotiation . A general discussion developed, with respect to the advantag s and disadvantages of location. Dr. Cosand also asked the Board how they would feel about two campuses; one in the southern part of the city, and one in the northern part of the city «— both campuses to be under the guidance of a single campus director. Board President Williamson asked President Cosand to pursu th matter and to report to the Board at its next regular meeting. President Cosand presented copies of a resolution regarding the formation of a Coordinating Council for Higher Education. He asked the Board Members to read the resolution, and he asked Board President Williamson to present it at the next regular meeting in November. President Cosand had an appointment to speak befor a group of * - 13 - * • ducators in St, Louis, and he asked the Board to excuse him. V;ym Board President Williamson asked the Board i£ there were any further business to be brought before the Board. There was not, and Mr. McCalpin made a motion that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Glaser seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved at 3:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. Joseph C. Bastian, Secretary Board of Trustees Junior College District - 14 - ^ 16 October 1962 Dr. Joseph P. Cosand Junior College District of St. LouisS t .
