WISCONSIN NEWS
Events Of Interest From Many
Parts Of the State.
ASKS LONGER SCHOOL YEAR
Forty-eieht Weeks Instead of Present
Thirty-six Would Help Keep
Plant Employed.

The report of William II. Allen on
the survey of the University of Wis
consin has been made to the state
board Of public affairs and a summary
was given out.
Numerous statements have been
made to the survey, both from within
and without the university itself, that
the university is undertaking to infiu
ence legislative activity and meddling
in politics" the report says. mo con-
crete evidence has been obtained by
the survey of legislative interference
or Of meddling in politics."
The report suggests the extending
of the school year from thirty-six to
forty-eight weeks. This with a six
weeks summer session would keep
the school plant busy the year round.
In reference to social and economic
standards for students it is suggested
that they be revised SO that more stu
dent convocations be held; that stu
dents be encouraged by remission OF
physical education to room far away
from the university; that the pro
gram for self-supporting dormitories
be started promptly on an extensive
scale; that the price Of rooms in
Women's dormitOries be lowered and
that student lf-government be given
a chance to learn from it's own mis-
takes, without intervention Of faculty
committee or rulings.
Among the laws needed now as rec
commended in the report are: That
compulsory military drill be abolish
ed there is nothing in the univeI
sity's relations with the federal gov
eminent that makes military drill
compulsory. Because Of military drill
the efficiency of the department of
physical education is said by itself to
be reduced three-fifths; the same
amount of time spent in teaching the
arts of peace and method of efficient
citizenship would do more to advance
the interests of the state.
That the state superintendent of
public instruction and the university
president be omitted from the board
of regents. That department is ham
pered by the present dual relation of
the superintendent.
That the board of regents be made
a state created body where it is now
regent created, and be given addition
al power to ascertain facts about uni
versity management and administra-
from fifteen to five or seven members.

BAR OUTSIDE LIVE STOCK
