Regents w. T Yoe and ]. NJ. Sat
terthwaite called on the attorney gen
eral and the governor today to confer
concerning the deficit which the Popu-
list management of the institution has
permitted to arise.
The board claims that the deficiency
amounts to nearly $50, 900. 1t is caused
to some extent by the peculiar con-
tracts with professors. The old Gus
tom was to pay for the school year.
The Populists changed this and pro-
rated the salaries for twelve months,
paying thereby during the summer va
cation.
The PopuIist loan commissioner Jeff
Hudson, invested in a large amount
of Oklahoma bonds bearing per cent
interest Interest to the amount of
several thousand dollars on these bonds
is now in default
The deposed president and his three
associates are now preparing to bring
suit against the members of the board
TO retain their positions under the spe-
cial two and One-haf year contracts
made by the POpulist board.
