.1i.-galil. . . . H-Y-A' ---e ,vii MAIL BALL is an important part of Dr. I-Iarvill's day. Whether in his office or at home, the postman's whistle is the signal for a welcome break in a day hcavily scheduled with appointments. HARVI LLS AT HCM E In the life of a University President, the home is as much a place of work as is the office. This is es- pecially the case with both Dr. and Mrs. Harvill, who find that a great deal of their social life is not their own. The Harvills' home in El Encanto Estates is con- veniently designed to receive many guests. The patio and living room can accommodate large faculty teas and student receptions as well as smaller informal dinners. Mrs. I-larvill's tightly-scheduled days are filled with community, civic and campus activities. Her interest in YWCA begins at the local level and continues through State and National, where she is a member of the board. Showing her true southern hospitality, she takes an active interest in promoting international understanding through the United Church Women's Hospitality Committee for Foreign Students, the Insti- tute of International Education and the Experiment in International Living. In their moments of relaxation, the Harvills like to read in their study or play a game of cards with neigh- borhood friends. LEISURE TIME comes not too frequently for the Harvills. ln their well-fumished living room, a '57 Desert provokes smiles from the busy co uple.

GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA Governor Ernest W. McFarland, an ex-ofiicio member of the Board of Regents is responsible for ap- pointing eight members of the Board. He then works with them to promote expansion of the three col- leges. The ten board members meet on call, usually once a month, on the different campuses throughout the state. The power to govern the University and the State Colleges of Arizona is wielded by the Board of Re- gents. The Board, composed of the Governor, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and eight members appointed for eight-year terms by the Gov- ernor, meets monthly. Individual committees meet more frequently to consider the awarding of building contracts and local purchases of real estate for the expansion of the three schools under their control. All contractual obligations of the University and other Colleges, plus faculty and staff appointments and reports from the three presidents concerning gen- eral conditions, are presented monthly to the Board for their approval. Through their committees, the Board of Regents presents annually to the State Legislature the budget for both operating capital and for funds needed for the construction of new buildings at the three institu- tions. BOARD OF REEENTS: Alex Jacome, John Babbitt, Lynn Laney, John Jacobs fpresidentj, William Matthews, Ellwood Bradford. Evelyn Kirmse, Samuel Morris. Not pictured: Marion Brooks, Governor Ernest W.
