COMING OF STATESMEN
Visit of the Legislators Is
Looked Forward To by Stu

214S Center Street. Jan. 29.
Students and the faculty Of the
University Of California are to have
two important but widely diverse topics
for consideration during the coming
week, one subject relating to State
politics and the other affecting college
sport.
A committee Of twenty members Of
the State Legislature is to visit the
university next Friday, according to
an announcement issued from Presi-
dent Wheeler's Office. The committee
is to be entertained by the president,
and will be shown about the campus,
with opportunity to see all the univer-
sity's activities. The guests will at
tend the semi-monthly university
meeting in Harmon Gymnasium, will
hear addresses by speakers whose
names have not yet been announced,
will also bark to the singing Of the col
legians and the shouts Of the ''rooters"
and so see for themselves some of the
work of the State institution and some
of its manifest needs
The visit is expected to bear fruit in
the university, and the State authori-
ties, which relations, it is hoped, will
be such as to lead to the appropriat-
ing of money needed to carry on the
universitys' work, particularly in the
agricultural department.
Equally interesting to most collie
gians, though of a greatly different
character from this political matter, is
the question of a football coach-the
choice of a man to lead the blue and
gold to victory.
Now that it has been as good as set
tied that professional coaches may be
employed by both California and Stan
ford, the campus buzzes with gossip
about what men will be considered by
the executive committee of the asso-
ciated students as candidates for the
position. Smith of Columbia is talked
Of as are others, but the disposition to
get the best coach available, regardless
of expense, is evident. there being an
almost fanatical desire shown to wipe
out this year the memory of4the de-
cisive defeat administered California
by Stanford last year.
The executive committee is to meet
next Tuesday night, ito receive report
from the California men who represent
ed the university at the meeting last
night in San Francisco of the intercol-
legiate agreement committee.
The Carnot debate with Stanford
takes place next Friday night, at Stan
ford. Musgrove, Baker and Harrison
will represent California, with Emil
Nathan as alternate.
Professor Wells is to read paper on
the Epic and the Dramatic Novel; at
the Pathological Club meeting at the
Faculty Club tomorrow night. Pro-
fessor Margohs will read a paper on
THE Babylonian Epoch"
Robert Dupouey will deliver two lee
lures in French at the Students OBJ
servatory on Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoons, his subjects being How
Do You Like F'rance?" and How Do
We Like America?
Many university students will jour-
ney to Stanford next Friday to attend
the semi-annual meeting of the Bay
Students Volunteer Union, which is to
be held there in the afternoon of that
day.

he had been shot. The boys ran to the
Berkeley Quarry Company's place and
got help. Men carried Robinson to

rang, owner of the Oakland French
dairy, which is located on Vernon ave-

to do Such aid is necessary for the efforts
of the priest are fruitless unless he receives

Within the last few months exper-

IdahoaRS Indignant.

Boise, Ida. Numerous express
sions of indignation are heard here
among prominent men because of the
removal of DR.. Givens as superintend-
emit of the insane asylum at Blackfoot.
While these are vigorous, they dc
not begin to compare in force with
the condemnation of the action of the
board in appointing DR.. O. A. Hoover
of Montpelier to the position.
Givens has been in the position for
many years. He is recognized as an
alienist of ability and as keen bust
ness man. 1t is pointed out that if
1t was necessary to make change an
expert alienist should have been Sc
lected. 1t is claimed DR.. Hoover has
no special knowledge of the treatment
of mental disorders. But behind
all this criticism lies knowledge of
the fact that the change was part of
the political deal that elevated Gov.
Gooding to the executive chair.
Hoover was candidate for the place
when Gov. Morrison was elected.
Morrison decided to retain Owens.
who had been in the place under ad-
ministrations of both political parties.
This angered Hoover, and it is alleged
started an anti Morrison campaign
among the Mormons. 1t was stated
shortly after Gooding was elected that
Hoover would be appointed, but the
matter ran on so long without any
action being taken it was believed the
new administration had decided TO
make no change. Mormon influence
