Gavere 4 Chasles (. Gesell To the men and women of the University of Idaho, I desire to extend my sincere greetings and very best wishes. During these days of war when so many of Idaho’s sons and daughters are engaged in defending and preserving constitutional government in Idaho and these great United States so that liberty and freedom might not perish but live forevermore, it is befitting to recognize your ability and determination to keep the University of Idaho functioning in its proper manner so that when peace comes, these sons and daughters now so gallantly serving our country may return and take up once again the building of their educational careers to the end that this great State of Idaho may in due time fulfill its destiny. CHARLES C. GOSSETT. Beard of (egents Final decisions concerning the university rest with the board of regents at their regular quarterly meetings. They pass upon the distribution of appropriations and have the last word for appointments. Center topic this year is the allocation of the money for research of Idaho's resources and industries.

sdminishative staff calls University signals, Despite no relief from government priorities, labor shortages and great cuts in available funds, university administration officials have continued to operate the school smoothly and efficiently, as evidenced by main- tenance of pre-war educational standards, well-kept buildings and lawns. Keeping up university supplies and equipment has been a difficult job these war years, but Mrs. Evelyn M. Albrecht, acting purchasing agent, has handled it well. D. D. DuSault, appointed registrar late last sum- mer, has helped keep academic requirements up to pre-war standards. O. A. Fitzgerald, university editor, keeps Idahoans informed of university doings through bulletins to newspapers. Robert F. Greene, director of dormitories, who con- verted civilian dorms into Army and Navy headquarters, was faced this year with reconverting them back into civilian quarters. Chrisman Hall already has Idaho men living in it, and Willis Sweet Hall is now being recon- verted for occupation next fall. Overseer of the library is Miss M. Belle Sweet, who keeps the university book haven supplied with latest best sellers and important reference books, including government bulletins pertaining to all colleges of the school, Frank Stanton, bursar, is the man to see about all finances—administrative and student—where the uni- versity is concerned. Superintendent of buildings and grounds, C, A. Truitt, was handicapped by lack of labor, but the university’s physical assets have remained in fine shape—lawns are as well-cared-for as in former years. Dr. C. A. Armstrong and Dr. C. J. Klaaren, Moscow physicians, hav e jointly assumed the position formerly held by a full-time physician at the infirmary. They are not only responsible for student health, but have the added job of caring for the physical well-being of the Army unit. The “hats off'’ department gives a vote of thanks to Idaho's administrative officials—for their untiring efforts to keep giving students the things they take for granted, despite present hardships. 23 Evelyn M.
