BIG MAJORITY OF
ARIZONA 'FROSH'
DRINK, IS TOLD

BISBEE - By their own admis-
soin 60 to 20 per cent of the male
freshman students of the Univer-
sity of Arizona drink at least occa-
sionally, DR.. J. B. Van Horn, ply
sician and health instructor at the
University, told a local civic club
last week.
The percentage of Indulgence
among under-class men as a whole
would be somewhat larger, accord
ing to Dr.. Van Horn, who declared
that his figures represented the re-
suits of pool taken in his fresh
man class in health instruction,
numbering $50 men students. The
doctor did not estimate the extent
of drinking among women students
but intimated that it was consid-
erable.
College students scott at prohibi-
tive legislation but in many cases
reform their habits when the con-
sequences of alcoholic excess are
frankly called to their attention,
the speaker asserted.
The figures on student drinking
at the state university marked the
high point of an address in which
the school physician placed the
blame for student misconduct on
parents, held out high hopes for
the maligned younger generation"
and advocated courses in matri-
mony, health instruction and per-
sOnal hygiene.

work in harmony with him. Fan
sett declared that he felt certain
matters so keenly that he could not
promise to cooperate. Smith said
he thought he could work in har-
mony with the administration of
the university.
"Dr. Lockwood suggested that if
DR.. Marvin was retained. he could
be dismissed with a years sabbath
cal leave, to which he was entitled,
with three-fifths pay. Fansett,
Howard, and Smith likewise asked
for sabbatical leave.
Moves for Leave
Governor Hunt moved that these
four men be given sabbatical leave,
to start Immediately, except in the
case of Smith, who desires to COM
plete some work which may re-
quire three or four months. In
Smiths case, accordingly, the sab
batical leave is to start at the end
of the present year.
"The motion carried the provi-
sion that all four should report to
the regents at the close of their
leave, for further employment: The
motion was carried.
"The question of the reappoint-
ment of the eight men whose
names had been protested was
then taken up. The vote was as
follows. Hunt, yes; Ellinwood,
yes; Campbell, yes; Kirkpatrick,
no; Layton, no; Van Dyke, yess
Marsh, no; Corrigan, yes; Case.
no Affirmative, five; negative,
four
Finally, a motion was offered by
Regent Layton and seconded by me
to reappoint all the faculty and
sink our differences"
Closes Incident
The questions of salaries will be
taken up by the committee on re-
gents rolls, composed of Regents
Van Dyke, Marsh and Layton, the
secretary of the board said.
'And so, gentlemen, the incident
is closed" the secretary of the
board said in conclusion. Il be-
lieVe that all the regents, without
exception, deserve praise for their
determination to forget personal
differences, take the university out
of politics and agree unanimously
upon a course of action.
Personally, I believe that the
main difficulty was the faculty
constitution form of government,
which has proved incapable of
working successfully during the
four years that it has been tried at
the university.
1--WE have now gone back to the
system of administration by the
regents, and under this system l
believe that splendid future
awaits the institution, which, even
under faculty plan of govern
ment, has made strides of which
every patriotic Arizonan should be
proud"

Snowflake Plans
For "Old Folks
Picnic Aug. 21st.

Pioneers of Arizona, and pioneers
of other states who now reside here
will meet in Snowflake, August 81,
at an "Old Folks Picnic" given by
residents of that section, accord
ing to a communication received
here this week. The age limit is
set at so, and while it is supposed
that youngsters of So or SO may at
tend, the invitation is especially ad-
dressed to those of more than three
score years.
All over 60 shall take this news
article as a formal invitation from
Snowflake, and make their plans
accordingly. A big outdoor meal
will be served from Hoo A M. to
400 P. M, and a program will be
arranged for the entertainment of
all who attend.
Discussions will wax warm, it is
supposed, on such questions as the
reconstruction period after the Civ
il War, battles during the Indian
troubles in the west will be re-
fought, and the features of the
west of the early days will be re-
called as the old-timers meet.

Cattle Association
To Establish Field
Offices In Arizona

PHOENIX = The Arizona-Cali-
fornia Cattlemen's Cooperative
Marketing association will in all
probability establish a field office
at Holbrook in the very near fu-
ture because of the large number
of cattlemen who have joined the
cooperative movement in Apache
county.
This is the statement made by
Secretary H. NJ. Rice of the associ-
alton, following two very success
full meetings held at SpringerviIle
and st. Johns last week. A large
number of cattlemen attended both
meetings and practically everyone
present signed the Association Mar
keting Agreement, Rice declares.
While these producers are range
men and are interested mainly in
feeders and stock cattle, they will
have some fat cows and veal for
shipment soon. The association is
also equipped to handle transac-
tlons in feeder cattle and it is ex-
pected that this service will be of
great value to Apache county cat
tlemen. The association will send
fall buyers into the territory.
The field office at Holbrook is al
most certainty if Navajo county
cattlemen sign up with the associ-
alton to the same extent. those in
Apache county have signed, Rice
states, and results Of meetings held
at Holbrook, Snowflake and st. Jo-
seph indicate that the cooperative
marketing plan will go over big in
Navajo county.
The excellent results the associa-
ton has obtained this year in es-
tablishing coast markets and in
maintaining price levels on a parity
with eastern markets have brought
a large number of producers into
the organization, and with the ad-
ditional strength given by increas-
ed membership, greater benefits to
producers are possible. Range men
interested in feeder cattle have
been greatly aided by association
activities, Rice declares.

DR.. SLIPHER SAYS THAT METEOR
CAUSED CRATER, DR.. DOUGLAS
TREE RINGS PREDICT WEATHER

rim on three sides had been tipped,
but on the south the lip had been
raised about a hundred feet, the
strata retaining it's level. This
was caused by meteor it had
struck when travelling in south
erly direction, in it's impoct driv-
ing under and raising the south
side. The last borings have been
in the South rim. Meteoric iron
was brought up. Then the drill
point was lost and the boring
stopped for the time being.
In the meteoric fragments found
in large quantity around the crater,
the composition is 80 per cent iron,
six per cent nickel and a small
trace of platinum. Small diamonds
frequently are found in meteoric
iron of this type.
DR.. Slipher said 300,O00,O00 tons
Of rock and earth had been dis
placed at the crater when it was
formed. He believes, figuring pro-
bable velocity of the meteor, that
much displacement could have
been caused by meteoric mass
much smaller and in ratio of 1 to
200 or 800 to the mass displaced.
AS for the age of the crater, he
believes it to be rather youthful" :"
That the drill brought up meteor
ic or shale iron, DR.. Slipher be-
lieves indicates that a meteor or
meteors fell at the same time the
crater was formed. The finding
of so much meteoric iron close to
the crater is also an indication
that meteor formed the crater,
especially in view of the fact that
the pieces found there comprise
half of all the meteoric particles
that have been found in the world.
DR.. Slipher said the study of this
crater is especially interesting to
astronomers because of the great
similarity between it and the crat-

George T. Harrington, chairman
for the day, had an unusually good
and interesting program at Rotary
Tuesday, the speakers being DR..
Y, NJ. Slipher, chief at Lowell OBJ
~aerPatory, Flagstaff, and DR.. A. S.
Douglass, chief of Seward observa-
tory, Tucson.
DR.. Slipher spoke of Meteor crat-
er, and Dr. Douglas of his tree-ring
work.
DR.. Slipher said that while as
tronomers and geologists have diff
ferent lines of research, they have
much in common and often are
helpful to each other. After say
ing that earth, it is now pretty def
initely established, is at least a
thousand million years old, he be-
gan on Meteor crater, which has
been variously known by that title
and also as Coon Crater, Coon
Mountain and Meteor Mountain.
1t is not a mountain, at all, nor
: aren a very high hill. 1t is east of
Canyon Diablo and north of the
railroad. The crater is 1000 feet
across and $500 feet deep Once it
was much deeper and narrower,
but erosion from the top and sides
has filled the crater to some ex-
tent. There formerly was a lake
there.
There is plentiful evidence that
the crater was caused by terrific
explosion. There is no immediate
evidence of volcanic action-no Ia
va, volcanic cinders, chimneys or
vents. Mr.. Barringer, of PhiIadel-
phia, the celebrated geologist who
has devoted so much time to study
of the crater, made 25 borings in
its center, and at $50 feet found
no disturbance in the sandstone
stratum. Then more attention was
paid to the lips of the crater. The

ers on the moon, both in depth and
contour.
Concluding, Dr. Slipher said that
he cannot help believing that the
crater was formed by huge me-
teor.
DR.. Douglas told how in gather
ing specimens from trees and
stumps and by comparing the rings
which are large or small depend
ing on moisture conditions in the
various years, it had been accur-
ately determined that the periods
of extreme droughts in this section
come in 150-year cycles The last
big drought was in 1890-94. Tree
rings show that there was another
160 years before that, and so on
