MAY ABOLISH
STUDENT COURT
Control of Discipline Would
Pass Back to Faculty

Grand Forks, Mar. 6.-Dissolution
OF the student court, judicial body of
student government at the state
university, is to be considered al a
meeting of the mems conference, stu
dent legislative body, at the universi-
ty next Monday afternoon, Gerald L.
Duppler, secretary of the conference,
announced Tuesday.
This action is to be cons idered as
result of considerable discussion as
to the efficiency of the disciplinary
function of the court. A talk to the
mems conference on the subject was
given by Professor r. r. Hitchcock,
chairman of the student affairs COM
mittee, at 5 O'Clock Tuesday after
noon.
A vote to abolish the student court
will again place disciplinary action
concerning students in the hands of
the faculty, though the powers and
duties of the mems conference as
legislative and executive body will
continue, it is pointed out.
Creation of the student court was
simultaneous with the instituting of
student self-government three years
ago at the university.

FARGO TRIBUNE
is TAKEN OYER
BY N. B. BLACK
Sale of Fargo Tribune to Own
er Of Fargo Forum AnnOun-
ced in Fargo Today
FINANCIAL REASONS
Declared That They Were In.
fuenced by Lack of Sue
cess in Making Change

The Fargo Daily Tribune toda,
passed from the hands of the pres.
ent owner to Norman B. Black, own.
er of the Fargo Forum, according tc
an announcement made EDITORIAL,
today by The Tribune.
The Tribune, formerly the Fargo
Courler-News, organ of the Nonpar.
tlsan League for many years, was
taken over by the present owners
from the league. In announcing the
sale of the paper, j. p. Dotson and
c. w. Brown say:
With this issue Of the Fargo Daily
Tribune, the present proprietors Pc
tire from the ownership and man
ageMent Of the paper,
We have today disposed of the
Tribune and all its assets to Norman
B. Black of Fargo.
Ever since the establishment of
the Fargo Courier-News every one
who has been associated with it's
ownership has suffered a financial
loss. About eleven months ago the
present owners Of the paper, having
had extensive newspaper experience
felt that morning newspaper in
Fargo could be made more than self
sustaining. With this conviction
they purchased the Courier-News and
changed its name to the Fargo Daily
Tribune. We have labored diligently
and to the best of our ability to
give the people of Fargo and North
Dakota clean, reliable newspaper,
but in spite of this our efforts have
not met with a financial return suf-
flclent to permit us to continue in
business, and for business reasons
alone we are obliged to dispose of it.
A very large increase in the cost
OF labor and materials that enter
into the publication of a newspaper
have not been met by an adequate
return in rates and patronage.
- We are pleased to say thatSaA Oh
legations of the paper, created by
our ownership, will be fully and
promptly carried out. The circula-
flon contest now in progress will be
continued and every
promise in regard to it fulfilled.
IN making this announcement the
retiring owners are pleased in that
their success will stionably
give Fargo that kind Of newspaper
that builds for greater things in our
city and state, yet it is with regret
that we withdraw from the fine as
sociation experienced

COULTER BILL
is SET 0V Err
UNTIL MONDAY
Growing Opposition Causes
the Senate to Lay Aside
Farm Aid Measure

Washington, Mar. 6.--Growing op-
position in the senate to the propo-
sal that the government finance crop
diversificatiOn, led to the temporarily
laying aside late yesterday of the
Norbeck- bill. which would
make such provision in favor of ap-
preparation measures. An agreement
was reached, however, to take up the
farm relief bill Monday uDder an ar
rangement for limiting debate so
that final action can be taken within
a few hours.
Against Both Measures
Although centercd upon the bill
under consideration, the opposition
extended also to the McNary- Haug-
en- bill which would establish a $780,
100000 corporation to export surplus
farm products. Senator Mclean, Re
publican, Connecticut, recalling that
some members Of the farm bloc had
expressed their preference for this
bill, declared it would only result in
increasing the surplus, if it was
successful, and would be of no value
otherwise" The bill was defended
by it's co-author, Senator McNary, Re-
publican, Oregon who denied it was
intended to insure a profit on farm
commodities.
"The bill is designed" he explain
ed, to "place the farmer upon fair
competitive basis with other produc-
ers by giving him the ratio-prices
equal to the pre-war prices Of manu-
factured goods.T
South Against
Senator Dial, Democrat, South Car
olina, led the attack on the diversi-
fication proposal and contrasted the
appeal for federal assistance with the
unaided recovery of southern agricul-
ture after the Civil War, and with
the present privations caused in cot
ton territory by the boil wecvil.
Advocates Of the bill, including
Bursum, Republican, New Mexico,
and Johnson, farmer-labor, Minncso-
Ia, insisted the government was re-
sponsible for the situation Of the
wheat grower and should make |
amends.
