reconsidered the vote by which it re-
fused TO concur in the house bill to
provide for woman member of the
state board of control, gave its concur
renee by a vote of 10 to S. Yet the
bill was amended so that the placing
of a woman on the board will not in
creasee the membership, but will
merely provide that one of the mem
bers shall be woman. After the ses.
sion it was reported credibly that the
bill is so worded that it permits a
complete reorganization Of that BODY
that in fact, it has the practical ef-
feet of wholly abolishing the board.
Just what advantage the gov
may take of the circumstance is OF
course not known. 1t is said, how.
ever, that the Madison member Prof.
Allan D. Conover is likely to be
member of the new board, If one IS
created.
