REPORT ON ADMISSIONS

The President reported on the current status of admissions for the academic year 1963-1964

ESTABLISHMENT OF POSITIONS OF RESEARCH PROFESSOR AND RESEARCH ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR

The President presented a proposal for the establishment of the faculty positions of Research
Professor and Research Associate Professor. The proposal is based on a recommendation in a
report dated 29 March 1963 by a special committee appointed by the President to consider the matter.
This committee was composed of Acting Dean Rowland A. Egger, Chairman, and Acting Dean Kenneth R.
Crispell, Dean Frank L. Hereford, Dean Lawrence R. Quarles, and Mr. Vincent Shea. The report proposed
that the positions would be concerned almost exclusively with programmed research and any
teaching duties would be restricted to the guidance of graduate students whose research is directly
related to the research of the Research Professor or Research Associate Professor.

The President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that,
effective 1 September 1963, the positions of Research Professor and Research Associate Professor be
and they are hereby created as faculty positions at the University, the duties of which are to be
prescribed by the President.

OPERATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES BY STUDENTS

The President reminded the Board that the resolution governing student eligibility to operate
motor vehicles, which was adopted on 11 April 1959 (Minutes, Board of Visitors, University of Virginia,
No. 12, 11 April 1959, p. 147), provided for a review of the regulations four years thereafter.


407

Accordingly, the Student Council this spring reviewed the regulations and made recommendations to
the University Committee on Students, which in turn met with representatives of the Student Council
to discuss their proposals and then made a report to the President.

The President, as a result of these studies, proposed one change in the regulations, namely,
that the existing requirement that a student in the first or second semester of his third year be
required to maintain a 2.50 grade-point average in the preceding semester in order to be eligible
to maintain or operate a motor vehicle be reduced to a 2.40 grade-point average. The President
stated his desire for a review of the results of this change in 1965, by which time he hopes that
an intensive study can be made of the academic performance of students operating motor vehicles.

The President, therefore, proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the changes in the regulations governing student eligibility for the operation of motor vehicles
be and they are hereby adopted as set forth below.

With certain exceptions, hereinafter set forth, the following are to become effective with the
entering class of 1963-1964. These regulations apply to the regular academic session, including
all special occasions, and are intended to remain in effect until the spring of 1965, at which time
they may be reviewed

1. No first-year student in the undergraduate schools of the University shall be permitted to
maintain or operate a motor vehicle at any time except as indicated in paragraph 5

2. No student in the undergraduate schools of the University in the first semester of his
second year may maintain or operate a motor vehicle unless he has at least a 3.00 grade-point
average for the preceding semester of his residence in the University. No student in the undergraduate
schools of the University in the second semester of his second year may maintain or operate
a motor vehicle unless he has at least a 2.80 grade-point average for the preceding semester of his
residence in the University.

3. No student in the undergraduate schools of the University in the first or second semester
of his third year may maintain or operate a motor vehicle unless he has at least a 2.40 grade-point
average for the preceding semester of his residence in the University

4. No student in the undergraduate schools of the University in the first or second semester
of his fourth year may maintain or operate a motor vehicle unless he has at least a 2.20 grade-point
average for the preceding semester of his residence in the University.

5. A first-year man may operate a motor vehicle at Midwinters and Easters provided he had a
2.50 average for the first semester. All other undergraduates may operate a motor vehicle at
Openings, Midwinters, and Easters provided they have a 2.00 grade-point average for the preceding
semester.

6. No undergraduate student on probation or warning of any kind shall be permitted to maintain
or operate a motor vehicle at any time

7. To determine eligibility to operate a motor vehicle, all transfer students will be considered
as first-year students for the first semester of their residence. Their grades during that
semester and the number of semester-hours that they transfer and earn here will determine their
eligibility to operate a motor vehicle during their second semester of residence.

8. The Deans of the undergraduate schools of the University will determine the criteria for
the classification of students above the first year of residence

9. Exceptions to these recommendations above shall be made for due cause, such as physical
disability, essential domestic use, occupational need, or distance of residence from the University.
As in the past, the Dean of the University shall be empowered to make exceptions at his discretion.

REPORT ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ALUMNI NEWS

At the request of the President, Mr. Paul Saunier, Jr., Assistant to the President for University
Relations and Development, appeared before the Board to report on recent discussions among representatives
of the Alumni Fund, the Alumni Association, and the President relating to the possible expansion
of the distribution of the Alumni News to include all living alumni of record. Heretofore the
distribution of the Alumni News has been limited to members of the Alumni Association and graduates
of the University for the first five years after graduation, this latter distribution being made
possible through an endowment contributed to the University for this special purpose by an anonymous
donor. The University of Virginia Topics, financed by the Alumni Fund and the Alumni Board of
Trustees, is a newsletter published eight times a year, which under the new plan would be combined
with the Alumni News to provide one publication reaching all alumni. The Alumni Association proposes
that all funds now going into the two publications be applied to the expanded distribution. Mr. Saunier
stated that through the fine spirit of cooperation on the part of all concerned, there were very good
prospects that the plan would be realized, provided that funds previously allocated to distribution of
certain Alumni Fund reports can also be utilized to insert these reports appropriately in the expanded
Alumni News
