therefore he was not IN q posi-
ton to go over the various data.
However. had he been in pos
ossion Of the report It is not
likely he would have expressed
himself. He said IL was possible
the report would go to the board
of regents without recommended
ton, but this is not likely. In
discussing the matter with Gov.
Benson the other day The Times
Herald man found that the re-
gents really makes the selection
but they win be governed almost
entirely by the recommendations
of the faculty. Pres. Kerr
frankly admitted that should he
find it necessary he would not
shirk the responsibility but would
suggest his choice.
In talking of the matter with
Prof. Scudder il was found that
he would take quite an active
part. Prof. Scudder says it is
the desire to place il where it
will do the most good-not nee
essarily the densely settled dis
tricts, nor either the largest ar
ca other features and condi-
tons would enter into considera-
ton. Prof Scudder would not
venture a suggestion as to the
final decision, but from his con-
versation we feel that our lack
of transportation will be the on
ly drawback to the establishment
of the station in Harnev county.
This, he stated frankly was to
our disadvantage and would en-
ter into the final decision. His
repeated remark that if we didn't
get this one we would get a sta
ton later, did not sound reassur-
ing and leaves q more or less
doubt. The board Of regents
will meet next Monday when
the matter will be settled.
Harney county students at the
0. A. c. are taking a high rank
in the school both in their stud
les and in athletics. All our boys
are well, Mason Smith having
Just recovered from an attack of
measels.
Neil Smith graduates this year
in the electrical engineering de-
partment, Mervin Horton and
Roswell Hamilton in pharmacy.
The other boys have one, two
and three years yet.
A track meet was a feature
lest Monday between the o. A.
G. and University Of Idaho.
Oregon won by good margin.
but Idaho had some good ath-
letes. The boss" had an ap-
pointment with Prof. Scudder
and did not get to see all the
contests, but saw some of them.
Roswell Hamilton was the on
ly one of our Harney county boys
to participate in the meet on
that occasion, but Clifford Reed,
Mervin Horton and Roswell
Hamilton belong to the champ
ion basket ball team of the state
and Teddy is captain for the
year. Frank Thompson
has always thrown his man in
wrestling contests and is high in
running events. Neil Smith has
not been active in athletics this
spring but had place in the first
teams last fall.

Judge j. X. Weatherford. Even
hough the faculty should make
suggestions it is possible they
will be ignored if not favorable
