 dlcated the increased attendance to be something like 300 per cent. Upon investigation I find that the trouble with Dr. Wilde's chart was the in dicator ran the wrong way. 1t should have pointed down instead of up. Dr. Wilde told me in the committee room. when the chairman of the Appropria. tions committee was ngnting this ap- propriation. that there were over 800 students enrolled. to be accurate. 331 and the catalogue SO shows. l asked Dr. Wilde if could. in a debate upon the flcor. rely upon that as being the number of students who were actual ly taking a regular University course. and he said yes. Upon investigation I find that enrolment was made up of v persons who took the two weeka lecture course in agriculture that one or two of the students were counted twice. and that the enroll ment also contains several persons that are induced to go out from the City of Tucson at night for special work that the University offers. and they are not students Of the Univer- lars registered at the University, talk ing one study and scarcely ever at. tending classes. but doing this so that they might board at the University boarding house. One of these tuber. culars is out here in the hospital now. .. Some Professors Idle
 I find some of the teachers and professors at the University working almost night and day tc try and build up the institution. and l find others doing scarcely any work at all. The Prof of Geology has been teaching only three and four hours week. not per day, but per week. find that several of the other teachers ond professors are teaching from two to three hours per day.
 Babeoek Did Better
 The records of other institutions will show that more students than are in our University nov are handled. more than 200 students. with lj teachers and professors. Now we have between 70 an1 % teachers and rrcs, ssors on big saia. es Co handle. as neat as I can get it, aispit - Clil- dren. ! find that to be enrolled as student. you only have to attend one lecture at the short course op Agri- culture. l am for a greater Univer sity, but pretense. big appropriations and fictitious enrollments do net make great Universities.
 Crime and Luxury
 I find that one of our students was shot by another and the other was tarred and feathered by the other students. When this news item came out. pr. Wilde wrote an article for the press stating that there was moth. ing in 1t but Dr. Wilde knew or ought to have known when he wrote the ar ticle that it was true
 We have billiard and pool at the University. which may be all right. but at the awful cost per capita of keeping these few children in school. think their time Is too valuable to De spent in billiards and pool and they will have plenty of time to learn that after their education Is com pleted
 Sabtaties Years
 | find that Prof ClCthier, who was a young. strong, able-bodied profess or. Is away on his Sabbatical Year. drawing SO per cent of his salary. Prof. Clothier, as l recall it, was only teaching here. running the farm and teaching agriculture, for about three years. He is not entiped to compen- sation and a year cff; he has not served long enough. Neither Is he en- titled 10 1t unless he is coming back There are other professors and teachers who have been teacniug but a few hours per day, who have Sab batical years and are promised more. It is probably a good practice in big institutions backed hy cid and rich states and where many of the chairs are endowed by individuals and insti' tutions, but [ think it Is not iustisi. able in the Arizona University under it's present conditions
 Resume
 What k this institution that we have created that 1t Is so sacred that I. paying taxes in three counties in this state, may not open my mouth Gbont its condition CT the way its affairs are conducted. By whom has it been sanctiied and consecraied. from whence comes it's virtue that we who support it and created it. may not remark about its condf lions? It the object created greater than it's creator? Why such calam- fly howl because happened tc tell John Dunbar that the conditions were deplorable. [ do not have Co tell all l know about this institdtlol and its conditions to justify what 1 state What is the meaning of de- plorable? If the cost Of running it Is on the increase and the attendance is on the decrease. that Is deplor- able condition which we all regret. If one student shoots another and then the other students tar and feather that one, that is a deplorable condition, which we all regret, and
