| applying the principle OF the subst1-
tute to private business"
Senator ]. H. Bennett was severe in
his arraignment of president Van
Hise.
II is time" he said that We had a
little less academic freedom and a
little morx common honesty. This
legislature has been deluged with mis-
Information. There has been double
dealing and stacking of the cards
where common honesty should have
been practieed.
Allen and Van Hise Differ Greatly.
The discussion began when the sen
ate resolved itself into a committee
of the whole to hear President Charles
r. Van Hise of the university and DR..
William H. Allen. who has been ACT
ing as expert accountant for the gov.
ernor.
There was a wide difference of opin-
ion between Mr.. Van Hise and DR.. Al.
len as to figures and the proper man.
neT in which the affairs of the uni
versity should be conducted.
DR.. Allen charged that the university
was using swollen" figures, and that
confusing generates" made 1t diff
tcult for the legislature to get at the
truth.
Senator ]. H. Bennett asked Dr.. AL
len if the amount appropriated, to the
university was in excess Of the amount
disbursed in the last biennum if the
university would be able to get along.
Eyes, sir" replied Dr.. Allen" and
.A-weuld be Godsend .tothe institu-
ton to stop and look at itself. You
have been pouring money into the uni
versity so fast that tlfey haSen't been
able to check up on. Themselves"
Or. Allen" repIied President Van
Hise, wants US to run the University
Of Wisconsin as he wogld. run it in.
stead of conducting its affairs as the
best educators in the country conduct
such institutions"
1T is recognized that the citizens
Of the state support the university"
said Senator Bray, addressing his re-
marks to President Van Hise. with
thousands of men in Wisconsin out
of work, wanting for the necessities
of life, don't you think that it is the
duty of the university to cut to the
very core?"
81 agree with you" replied Presi.
dent Van Hise.
University Will Not Be Hampered.
The point was made that the Whit
man bill allowed the university more
than was expended two years ago,
therefore the university would not be
crippled or hampered
A question was raised ABOUT bath
house for University women The
amount proposed for this building Is
$4,000. President Van HIse said that
university women are forced to walk
a half a mile to their athletic field
After an afternoon of exercise, they
are compelled to walk another half
mile before they can remove the cloth
ing in which they exercised. This
practice, he said, is dangerous TO, the
health OF the young women attending
the university. A dressing room and
bathhouse on the athletic field,
would be wise investment" he said
There was some question about an
appropriation for new bleachers at
Camp Randall. ''The present bleach
ers are unsafe" explained the uni
versity president People knowsthat
fact, and are inclined to remain away
from football games. No private con
Germ would thing of conducting its
business in such manner. The APP
preparation for new .bleachers might
not be considered necessary, but it
seems WISE ...s.-.t
