Left Provo before 6:00 a.m, and at 7:00 a.m, met with the Board of Directors of Deseret News on a deferred compensation plan that had been worked on by Sterling Sill, which proposed that we take out insurance policy with New York Life to cover a deferred compensation plan for the Board.

On my motion we decided that rather than accept the plan as proposed we would probably engage some firm to make a study of a deferred compensation plan, studying both a plan based on insurance and a plan based on a company carrying the plan itself and that possibly we might cooperate with KSL in the formation of such a plan, At 8:45 a.m, met with Clyde Sandgren, Elliot Cameron, Brothers Kimball and Peterson of the Quorum of the Twelve on the question of homosexuals who might possibly be a part of our student body. After reviewing information had by ourselves as well as by them, it was decided that while in a student body of 12,000 there would possibly be a few of these, they would be a very, very small percentage of the whole and that we, therefore, ought not to dignify it by any meeting with the men or women of the university but handle each case on its own, We worked out a cooperative plan whereby the General Authorities will give us any information they have and we will give them information as to individual cases. We also decided as a general policy that no one will be admitted as a student at the B. Y. U. whom we have convincing evidence is a homosexual.
