jr c:z: Anut lUtatiO unL ltaiLan — (y — ' As the result of a decision early in October by the booi ' d of regents, Dean Hugo Winkenwerder of the school of forestry was named to continue the year as acting president of the University. Under him, the Univei ' sity administration has concen- trated on a three-point program which will attempt to clear up all existing Issues before the appointment of his successor. Of paramount importance was the question of money to meet operating expenses. With the aid of the regents President Winkenwerder was able to tem- porarily avert a crisis. The second problem was improved facilities, which was cleared by an extensive building program. And the third major problem — educational reforms, was delegated to the educational aims com- mittee, which submitted a comprehensive report recom- mending establishment of a lib- eral University College as its major reform. DEAN DAVID THOMSON, University vice-president, used to read detective stories by the gross, and still takes home piles of books to digest. When forced to the card table he plays a keen game of bridge, hlis golf game with former President M. Lyie Spencer was the talk of Education hiall. Now he plays with Prof. Vernon Mc- Kenzie of Journalism. H. COBURN ALLEN, University comptroller, and the housewife face much the same problem — that of keeping expenses within a budget. Allen begins with years of experience behind him and no distracting hobbies, hie gleaned experience as manager of associ- ated munitions factories during the World War and os president of the Educational Films Corporation of America.

Two major problems hanassed the board of regents this year. The Univer- sity, due to various cuts in appropriations budgets, became possessor of such unenvi- able records as of paying the lowest faculty salaries of any University its size In the coun- try. To save the University ' s academic standards and hold its valuable faculty men necessitated constont conferences and re- gents ' meetings, vv ' hich finally resulted in a measure of relief from the special session of the state legislature. A new budget, provid- ing for increases in salaries, was di ' own up by the regents this spring to combat possible loss of worthy faculty men, and to bring back the university of men, not of bricks. The other major problem handled by the regents was successful completion of all arrangements for a million and a quarter dollar building project. The first building, a $450,000 wing to the Henry Suzzallo library, got under way in the spring, while construc- tion of a new infirmary, a power plant addi- tion, and a dormitory to house 300 women, was assured following a trip to Washington, D.
