Washington ' s governor, Albert Rosellini, is not an University administrator as such. Representing the government of the state of Washington, he invests administrative powers to the Board of Regents. He stands apart . . . watching the self-governing University. If the University of a Thousand Years is to last a thousand years, or even until next month, it must move forward; it must grow. But which way is forward? Seven people decide this for the University, pro- viding direction and policy, a present and hopefully, a future. These educational direction finders are the members of the Board of Regents, a non-salaried group of six men and one woman in whose hands rest the programs and policies of the Uni- versity. Their problems range from, Where shall we build the new building? to What will education be like in 1975? None of the answers are easy. Good answers never are. Board of Regents members are Herbert S. Little, John L, King, Harold S. Shefelman, Mrs. A. Scott Bullitt, Robert J. Willis, Dr. E. A. Adding- ton and Joseph Drumheller.
