THE UNIVERSITY
INVESTIGATION

The university investigation is a
thing Of the past. The last witness
was heard n little after six O'Clock
last Saturday night. The next step
In the history of the investigation will
be the report of the investigating
committee.
There has been much comment
heard on all sides since close of the
investigation but the predominating
feeling seems to be that there should
be a change in the number of the
members who constitute the board OF
regents. The favorite number sug-
gested is seven.
II Is within the power of the present
legislature to remedy this situation
and to provide that the board OF re-
gents shall consist of seven members.
The board Of regents, as II now exists.
Is not n constitutional office. 1t can
be handled by the Legislature and the
enactment OF statute at this time
would clarity situation which surely
needs clarifying.
Adoption of new system whereby
the regents would be appointed for
long terms would also simplify mat.
tiers and would prevent a recurrence
OF the spectacle that has been dished
up to the people for the last several
moDths.--Sparks Tribune.

we haven't more than twice as large
a circulation as It has, but everyone
knows we have. so what's the use
talking about It.
1t suspended its weekly publication

never missed It, but heard of 1t after
