Conducting your trip. . . Although Governor Jordan is a graduate of the University of Oregon, he has long had both official and personal interest in the University of Idaho. As governor, it is his duty to appoint the members of the University Board of Regents. As a father, he has sent two sons and a daughter to the University. Joseph came here in 1947, then went on to West Point. Patricia was graduated in 1950 as a major in home cco- nomics, and Stephen was a junior this year in engineering. lraditionally the Governor attends com mencement exercises, but Len Jordan has found time to be here also for Homecom- ing and other activities. As a man who rose from a sheep ranch at the bottom of Hell’s Canyon to the highest position im the State, he has brought inspiration to our halls of ivy.

GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS DONNA SHIVELY Business Manager Another issue of the Gem has been sweated out and is in the hands of our public. It has been a big job, but lots of fun. To all of you we hope that you are pleased, and if you're not, Bon STIVERS Editor.in-Chiet come around and help put out a better Gem next year, ‘To the staff goes the credit for a job “well done.” There were the usual foul-ups and missed deadlines, and of course, the switch of plans by the editor when he was called into the Air Force, but Dorothy and Darlene took over the reins and did a good job, even though it meant a great deal of extra work. We hope that the copy is correct and that the names are in the proper places; if any of the Phi Kappa ‘Tau's are around we apologize. The staff and the editors are hoping that the organization and pla n of the book is to the liking of all of you, and that each of you will appear in the book several times. ‘The aim of the book is to picture you, the student, as you live a year at Idaho.
