The Regents of the University of California, under the leader- ship of President Clark Kerr, are vested with the administration of the University and established as a corporated body under Article 9, section 9, of the State Constitution. They have full powers of organization and government, subject only to such legislative control as may be necessary to insure compliance with the terms of the endowments of the University and the security of its funds. The Regents are appointed for terms of 16 years each. There are twenty-four of them, eight are members ex officio. The Re- gents are responsible for selecting the President of the Uni- versity, who in turn is responsible to them for the administration of the several campuses. Meeting alternately at the several campuses of the University, the Regents set the policy under which the state-wide Univer- sity operates. They pass on appointments of all chief adminis- trators and have complete financial control of University matters. Meeting agendas always include controversial issues and major decisions, some of these for this year being the acceptance of land for two new campuses in San Diego and Orange Counties, approval of an $800,000 loan for parking facil- ities at Los Angeles, and a Capital Outlay Program requesting $65,661,250 from state funds.

Chancellor Seaborg Chancellor Glenn T. Seaborg is just as thoroughly at home in a labora- tory as in his administrative offices. A renowned nuclear chemist and physicist, Seaborg was Associate Director of the Radiation Laboratory and its Director of Nuclear Chemical Research before his appointment to the Chancellorship of the University of California at Berkeley two years ago. One of Seaborg ' s greatest successes has been his ability to inspire individuals and groups to carry through to completion work that could not have been done otherwise. His preparation included graduation from UCLA and a Ph.D. at UC. He was appointed by Pres- ident Truman to the General Advisory Committee to the Atomic Energy Commission in 1946. Chancellor Seaborg is a Phi Beta Kappa and a Nobel prize winner and has added to the worth and prestige of the University in many ways, including his co-discovery of the elements named for UC—Berklium and Californium.

GARFF WILSON, Advisor GORDON ZUCKERMAN, Chairman Direct contact between President Kerr and the students of the University is provided by the state-wide undergraduate organization known as the California Club. The Club, each of whose members is chosen by President Kerr from among the leaders of the student bodies on six campuses of the University, meets with the President at least twice a year to discuss Uni- versity problems, particularly those involving student welfare. Once a year, the Club meets in a three-day conference to study and analyze such problems in an intensive way. The Club also is the guardian of intercampus relations on the student level. It aims to encourage every means whereby understanding and good will can be created between the students from the Davis campus on the north to the Riverside campus in the south. In the furtherance of this ideal, the Club has sponsored such projects as the All-University Week End, the Intercampus Arts Exchange program, the publication twice a year of an intercampus newspaper, The All Californian, etc. In strengthening good rela- tions between the campuses, members of the Club also have the opportunity of enjoying many rousing social events with visitors from all the campuses as well as with each other.
