NO NEW PRESIDENT
BEFORE TWO WEEKS
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO FACES
MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR IN
IT'S HISTORY


That the announcement from Spo
kane several days ago that new pres
ident for the University of Idaho
would be named within "a day or two
was premature and has caused much
Inconvenience to the university autho-
critics, in answering questions and
making denials is the statement Of L.
F. Parsons, executive secretary of the
university, who asks that the report
be denied. Mr.. Parsons said:
"Dr. e. A. Bryan, state commission
er of education, and executive Off
GERS of the board of regents, left last
night for Boise. He asks that the
report that new president is to be
named soon be denied 1t will take
at least two weeks to make the se-
lection. There are several candidates
and the board is Investigating the
standing and records of each. This
takes time and it is safe to say that
no selection will be made in less than
two weeks.
commissioner Bryan reiterated the
statement made by the board of edu-
cation in the form of a resolution for
bidding any employe of the board sin
any of the educational institutions OF
the state to engage in partizan poll
tics. This resolution was passed
when Professor Atcheson, of the Poca-
tello Technical Institute, became
candidate for the legislature and the
board demanded his resignation or
withdrawal from the race This rule
will be rigidly enforced here"
Announcement is made that Dean
E. M. Hulme, of the college of letters
and science and professor of history
in the university, has returned to his
post after years leave of absence
spent in the war zone of Europe,
where he studied history there and ,
visited many points of interest in the
old world. He will resume his duties
at the opening of the school year, in
September.
A determined fight on the high cost
of living has been inaugurated at the
university by the opening of canning |
factory In the heating plant, where
fruits and vegetables from the uni
versity farms, orchards and garden
plants are being canned for the use
of the dormitories next winter. "The
boys dormitory, just being completed,
will feed at least 300 male students"
duce the cost of living wherever pos
our work that fruits that cost $3.40
per gallon, at the store. can be canned
for less than 50 and many hundreds
of gallons will be put up. I have en-
ployed woman to take charge Of the
canning plant and she has six assist
ants now We are buying vegetables
and fruits in addition to those pro-
duced on the farm and expect to put
up several hundred gallons of fruits
and vegetables"
Announcement was made to-day that
G. E. Hawley, assistant cashier of the
First National Bank of Moscow, has ,
been employed as accountant in the
bursar's office and will begin his du
lies there on Monday, August Is. Mr..
Hawley has been with the First Nat
Ona1 Bank for many years.
Prospects are that all previous rec
)rds for enrolment will be broken |
With the opening of the school year. 6
