Melanie Buckley UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS May 17, 197 9 College of Education MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. Robert Glennen, Acting Academic Vice President and Vice President for Educational Services Mr. Danny Campbell, CSUN Presidenf FROM: Richard C. Kunkel, Dean, Please consider this memorandum as an addendum to the College of Education's earlier proposal (November, 1978) regarding the College of Education's involve-ment with providing Day Care Services for the children of students attending the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. After considerable conversations with appropriate parents, administrators and interested students, I would like to make the following points regarding any involvement that the College of Education would have in the future and transi-tional period of the Day Care Center: (1) All the tenets of the need for student services as presented in my earlier proposal still hold. (2) I would suggest and strongly endorse the immediate approval of a plan by which all current administration and structure functions of the Day Care Services,as existing in 1978-79, be transferred physically into the College of Education Building with appropriate modifications as per architect's design to minimally match all footage used in the available center. It is my recommendation that the current director serve as the director next year, and the entire role and duties performed by Mrs. Evelyn Ludeman be sustained including her selection of staff, establishment of fees, etc. Kith the approval of the CSUN and through a design created by concerned and interested parents and the College of Education, a program be initiated to develop a Day Care Center Board to work with the College of Education regard-ing future policies and procedures. I propose a majority of memberships on that Board be parents of children involved with the Day Care Center. Also, that the CSUN has direct membership on that Board, and has the authority to determine the actual parent participation. (A concrete plan will be pre-sented soon for CSUN approval on these procedures). It is the intention of the College of Education to become thoroughly and systematically involved in quality services to the children of our under-graduate students and, in so doing, will build excellent training programs for teachers and administrators regarding the education of young children. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, College of Education makes a strong commit-ment to these efforts and looks forward to the transition and a qualitative future for our children.

The purpose behind the vote being made at meeting number three is to insure that budgetary breakdowns can be made by June 1. Information concerning these nominations shall be in your boxes on Tuesday before the Senate Meeting and I urge each one of you to do your "homework" before the meeting so that we can put these people to work. (2) This is a reminder to set an appointment with Rene to talk to me about you and what you want CSUN to do in the coming year. rjb c
