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.
