STATE UNIVERSITY DEAN NAM
ED AS SUCCESSOR TO DR..
r. L. SlAGlE
IS WELL QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION
And His Election is Satisfactory to
The People of Brookines-Mr. Per
isho a Good Talker and Mixer

At a meeting of the state board OF
regents here Thursday Dean Ellwood
Chappell Perisho of the State Univer-
sity, was elected president of the
State College. This action was not
altogether a surprise, as Dean Per
isho has been a leading candidate for
the position since DR.. Slagle was trans
ferred to Nermillion.
Dean Perisho is quite we'll known
in Brookings, through his visits here,
and his election was received with
pleasure here. Our people have hoped
that the regents would secure the best
possible man for the position, and they
believe that Mr.. Perisho measures up
to this standard.
The new president is a splendid
speaker and a good mixer" and it is
felt hat he will ably represent the
college. He will assume his new
duties during the summer. Since the
transfer of DR.. Slagle to Vermillion
DR.. Brown, the vice-president, has very
ably performed the duties of presi-
dent.
Dean Perisho came to the University
of South Dakota from Platteville, Wis,
where he had been instructor in the
state school. He became state geolo-
gist of South Dakota and was later
placed in charge of the college of arts
and sciences.

BETTER FEELING
ON THE EXCHANGE
Governors Amend the Sales
Rule to Protect
Public.

Members Of the governing committee
of FIVE Of the New York Stock Exchange
said yesterday that the financial situl-
ton so far as the exchange was con-
cerned was clearing up rapidly, with
conditions much more comfortable than
il was thought would be possible in 90
short time, when IL was decided 20
close the exchange. They were par
ticularly cheerful over the improve
ment in investment demand as evi-
dcnced by inquiries for stock at prices
about the close Of July 30 or better.
The bargain hunter type Of investor is
very much in evidence.
Stocks offering at the clearing house
through brokers is being placed where
doing so gives relief TO the owners, but
ANYTHING like general trading or specu-
lative trading is discouraged. The
market is in no condition TO take any
great volume Of stocks.
The committee Of five yesterday
amended the rule by which members
desiring to do business for cash might
leport orders to the clearing house for
execution. The new rule is manda-
tory, "must" in large letters being sub
etituted for the word may"
This amendment was made necessary
because the committee learned few
members we're inclined 20 take advan-
tage Of every technicality, the few max.
inc trouble for the whole. Some OF
those have been asked by the commit
tee 10 explain recent actions and II ex-
