they would not be, the hotel PROPOSE
tion would seem all right, because the

ONLY to the hotel block and not TO

The statement issued by the regents
is not in sufficient detail. Their mere
conclusion is not enough to damn the
hotel proposition, nor is the fact that
Seattle wants hotel sufficient to make
the university accept an offer that IS
not Of advantage to the state institu-
