Dr. G. D. Hmnphrey, President University of Wyoming Laramie, 1VYQilri.ng
Dear President Humphrey:
At this ti.me, I am submitting tyro requests which I am" hopeful wi.: ~ merit your approval and that of the Trustees.
(1) Sample Library. A sample library is a depository of con tainers which hold the rock fragments taken by geologists at regular depth intervals from drillinG ,·,ells. The containers are filed in boxes with pro-; per identifications and the boxes are stored by number s:rsteJIl on shelves. Also, rock cores are frequently recovered from the "wells and preserved for storage.
These rock fragments and cores are initially studied by geologis s for the operating comp2D.ies. But t-lUs initial study does not exhaust the usefulness of the material which is eA"'tended by research studies over a period of many years. The usefulness of the material also extends to all persons interested in tr~ natural resources of the region. It is derived initially as a by-product of oil and gas development and its duplication would be at prohibitive costs. It should never be destroyed or losto "Underground water resources alone will ma1<:e its preservation worthwhile as time goes on.
E"perience in the Mid-Continent a.'1d elsewhere indicates that the oil a~d gas companies are not set up to maintain permanent storage of the material. About six months ago, our company converted a storage buildL'1.g to other purposes and Tie contributed s":'Ilples from wells in this region to Dr. T"noI;1as. The lTyaming C-eological Association held a meeting at the Unie versity last Friday. I asked to see the University's facilities to ha..~dle storage of sanples and cores it has received.. Dr. T'nomas aTld his assista..Ylt have a.Yl overflow of material aTld criticall;r need space. It has been my hope that they can obtain Butler huts for tl1-is pu.rpose, or even larger space. It is also Ii1J"" hope that they can ootain space for processing labora tory and stud~r roo:ns for microscopic exp!"6 nations. The Colorado School of rJines has had H,~ R nroP"T'.:::ll";l ; n ()n~.,..-t.; nn fn-r m;;.n-:r vpa,...~ 1n 'i'p'V.:::l~ -- +,hA Record 0/ Minula 0/ Board of Trustees Meeting June 6, 7 /9 49 Sheet No. 1349
is advanced Tlith samples from 25,000 wells occupying 16,000 cubic feet and 11,000 square feet of floor space. In Illinois, the progra"D. is similar.
This matter is being called to the attention of the Wyoming Geol ogical Association in Casper, and it is my understanding that geologists' with a mmlber of operating companies L't1 Wyoming are interested in seeing a Sample Library expanded at the University. The cost for the additional space needed, I believe, will be minor. The cost of maintaining the librSJ-Y, I understand, is being met ~ithout difficulty at present. Therefore, I submit this request for your early consideration.
(2) Aerial Photographic Library. One of the modem tools for geologists, civil engineers and agricultural technologists is the aerial photograph. This type of photo is taken by camera in a specially equipped airplane in a series of flight strips. EY.amination is made with the Stere p scope, multiplex and other instruments whereby accurate maps are construct< d. To the geologist in this region these photos are indispensable. He is abl to observe the outcrop of the rock strata a.'1d make a photogeologic map in connection .uth field E2.?ping. l,la.'1y problems are being solved thus for the first time which enhance the tiork in eJ,.--ploring and exploiting natural resources. These photos a-T'(3 valuable to the \'lork in ground ....rater resource The State RiglMay Planning Surveys are using photos to great advantage to the citizens in reducing costs of construction and locating construction materials needed. The photos aid in stud;ting soil conditions for reclama tion and grazing purposes.
Tl>.e photos a..-e stapled in position on index sheets usually in quadrangles 15 minutes by 15 minutes longitude and latitude. Also, the photos are assembled in similar quadrangles-;into adjusted maps or mosaic sheets. The Federal agencies and private photograrnmetric engineering com panies supply these materials. As I visualize a program, the collection for a Library would be progressive. The first step would be to obtain the photo-index sheets over the State. From these sheets, the photos could be collected over a period of years as projects are initiated. This Library , would gr01'l in value, not only to the University, but to the Geological I Survey, the Higlnvay Department, and other State agencies. I" would be use I fUl also to the private citizens as its usefulness was recognized.
The various operating companies have libraries covering consider I able areas in 1;.o.e region, but naturally these cannot be oade available for more public uses. However, a Library at the University would be useful to the companies inasmuch as it is unlikely anyone has coverage for an entir State. T'nis matter is being called to the attention of the Wyoming GeolOglo cal Association in Casper, likeruse, I r~ve not discussed the details of this program with Dr. Thomas, but I am confident he has given the matter thought and can furnish additional ideas as well as cost figures and recom mendations for location of the Library at the University.
These t~o requests are liIL~ed directly to geological activ-ities '7hich are much greater than in the past and are continuing to expand at this ti.li1e. I a"11 sure the geologists residing in Y/yorning are appreciative for the assistance rendered b'J 1;.o.e Geological Survey and the University, =, = ~ _wo W ,,-"'''' "'" w re",ow."'.

Science and Bacteriology and Acting Head of the Department,
leave of absence without pay for the period September 20, Or. Ii' hi' 6/lideJ7s.,Jg1 ~ WITh/Oar/:).1;7/. 1949 to December 20, 1949, for the purpose of attending

leave is contingent upon Dr. Lee l s approval when and if
he returns to the University.
2. Miss Clarice Whittenburg, Professor of Elementary Educa-
tion, leave of absence vlithout pay for the academic year
1949-50 in order that she may accept an invitation from
Dr. L. S. Tireman, Head of the Department of Elementary
Education at the University of New Mexico, to teach in
his department from September 1949 to June 1950.
Mr. Reed then moved that the sum of $900.00 be appropriated to the
College of Agriculture to be added to the $2,700 in that budget to cover
the salary of Douglas W. Burke, Assista.'lt Plant Pathologist in the EJ ment Station, through the coming fiscal year. Tnis appropriation is made necessary as the Northrrest Center, which carried this $900.00 portion of his salary last year, will not need his services for the coming year. This motion was seconded by Mr. Sulliva.."1 and carried. Record ofMinutes of Board of Trustees Meeting June 6, 7 /949 Shu/No. U53 As directed bo' the Board at the previous meeting, the Comptroller and the President submitted a report of their study of the fuel situation at the pOYffir plant and recommended, in accordance vdth the recommendation of Consulting Engineer Frank Prouty, that the University enter into a five- year contract with the Rocky Mountain Gas Company for the furnishing of Awey Plant: natural gas to the power plant vrith a mininmm B.T.lJ. content of 700 per FUel Cosh cubic foot at a price not to exceed 18rz¢ per thousand cubic feet with the priv~lege of renewal under the same basis or conditions. The contract is to contain a clause that if there is a general price reduction in this area the University shall benefit proportionately. It is noted that the Universit:f is willing to entertain offers or proposals from coal operators or oil companies for the use of their fuels, but due to the impending emergency of a natural gas fuel shortage, and recognizing the qifficulty of converting the power plant to the use of coal as a fuel at this time due to the cost of such conversion and the considerable time it would take it is the considered opinion of the Board that this contract with the gas company should be entered into. This resolution was made by Mr. Watenpaug!" seconded by Mr. Sullivan and carried.

PREAMBLE TO THE PROPOSAL FOR THE REORGilNIZATION OF P.Th!INISTF_~TION ilND CONTROL OF THE WYOMING mUON We, the WyoJ'ning Union Management, in ordeT to conduct a more orderly business have written this constitution. The prima.":)' purpose is to allocate responsibility and duties so that persons in executive positions know their functions. In an effort to chanee many propositions we realize our natura;J.. short comings and therefore intend to leave this proposed constitution flexible so that unformed objectiYes can supplement ·al1d improve t:b.is nork. Record ofMinutes of Board of Trustees Meeting June 6, 7 /949 Sheet No. 1356 These improvements are the duties of the Vlyacing Union Committees Ofol the future. In closing it ?!ould be well to remember the three organic functions the typical Union. These are the guide posts we used in writL'1g this con stitution. Its primary organic function is SERVICE. To support this primary fun, tion it is necessary to keep the property and equipment in a state of ef ficiency through the MAINTENANCE function, and in order to conduct an or derly business it is necessary to have a system of finance. Thus the thir organic function is FiliANeE. The other purpose of Student Unions, which should never be relegated to secondalJr status, is the education for a full living which induces full life.
