As Governor of Arizona, Paul Fannin is a man dedicated to furthering higher educa- tion. In the past year he has talked to different campus groups, approved $3,300,000 for new constructions at the University of Arizona and argued for the law requiring tuition pay- ment for out-of-state students to ease the burden on state tax-payers. He also works with the State Board of Regents to improve Arizona ' s educational programs. Governor Fannin talked to delegates from. inter-fraternity councils on thirty campuses in thirteen states about rushing, housing, and IFC projects at the Western Regional Inter- fraternity Conference banquet held in Tucson. PAUL FANNIN GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA Headed until January first of this year, by William R. Mathews of Tucson, and presently by Lynn M. Laney of Phoenix, the eight appointive members and two ex-officio members of the Board of Regents of the Universities and State College of Arizona developed effective educational programs for the University of Arizona students. Operating on a budget of $13,147,407.00, the Board in addition to the approval of appointments to the faculty and staff of the University, in- creased salaries, and approved a fraternity housing project aggregating $2,500,000.00. Despite protests, the Board settled one of the most contro- versial issues of the year by voting in favor of continuing the compulsory two year R.O.T.C. military training program for University men students. To conduct a study to determine the state ' s need for a medical school, the Regents appointed Dr. Joseph F. Volker of the University of Alabama Medical Center to serve as Director. After considerable discussion, the Board established a de- finite area of campus expansion, as a result of problems arising out of the location of student religious centers. The Board of Regents also recommended a constitutional amendment which was adopted at the last election allowing the appointment of qualified aliens to the University faculty. The officers for the 1961 Board include Lynn M. Laney of Phoenix, president; 0. D. Miller, Phoenix, secretary; and Vivian L. Boysen, Douglas, treasurer. The two new members of the Board for eight year terms starting in January, 1961 are George W. Chambers and Leon Levy, both of Tucson, replacing Alexander G. Jacome and William R.
