number of students have made any
such call No charges against any
one have been filed with the board OF
regents and no investigation of the
manner in which the university is be-
ing conducted has been made.
| the matter gsi.sppointments to the
faculty is considered at an annual
meeting of the board of regents which
is still some time away
Pending that time the board has
no intention to act upon any such
appointments. In other respects. as
in the case of the crab, the story is
currec,.'
Both Mr.. Clancy and Dr. Wroth
stated that the board had no intma-
ton of any kind of any request from
any one for the resignation of Dean
c. f. Hodgin, or that Mr.. Espinosa,
who is on leave of absence. would
not return.
The only basis for the whole mat
ter which can be found appears to be
in differences between President Tight
and Professor Rupert f. Asplund,
who is one of the older members of
the faculty in point of service and
who has occupied an important place
In the administration work of the uni
versity. 1t is learned that President
Tight indicated to Mr Asplund a few
days ago that he desired him to re-
sign upon the ground that he was not
in sympathy with President Tights
administration OF university affairs
an dthat Mr.. Asplund declined To re-
sign and has indicated his intention
10 leave the matter of his retention in
the faculty to the board OF regents
which has full authority in the en-
ploymcnt of the teaching corps
The differences between President
Tight and Mr. Asplund it is under
stood. have become acute. Mr.. AS
plund has indicated that he does not
approve Of President Tights admin
istration of the university and fur
ther that he proposes to take his case
to the board of regents. The matter
is one which win, undoubtedly be
taken up and determined by the board
at the regular meeting for the selec-
ton of officers and members Of the

The expulsion of Roy A. Baldwin
is one Of the few unpleasant incidents
in the recent administration of the
university. Miss Anna Enke was en-
ployed as a substitute teacher in the
university. She resigned, it is un-
derstood, at the request of the presi-
dent. II appears that Baldwin UNDER
took to espouse the cause of Miss
Enke and that he carried his cham
piOnship so far as to attack the char
acter of President Tight. Feeling
about the matter ran high in the uni
versity at the time and it is understood
that a body of the students at one time
seriously considered rough treatment
for Baldwin but were persuaded that
the matter was one for the atten-
ton of the faculty. Baldwins ex-
pusion however, was not because of
this incident, but because he brought
Niquor, or caused it to be brought into
one of the dormitories where it ap-
pears to have been consumed. 1t is
understood that an effort was made
by Baldwin, or by his friends, to have
his case brought to the attention or
the board of regents but that this was
not done, since il is the custom of the
board to accept the rulings of the fac
ulty in all questions OF discipline.
So far as can be learned there is
no further basis for the rumors Of a
wholesale shakeup in the university
faculty or of charges against individ-
ual members The selection of the
executive officers of the university
as well as of members of the faculty
rests entirely with the board of re-
gents and the members of the board
have indicated that It Is their inten-
ton to conduct a rigid investigation
into the differences existing between
members of the faculty and the
courses underlying those differences.
