Have Wonderful School!
eve have wonderful university
Of which the citizens of our state
can be Justly proud. The president
and the deans Of the vario = colleges
are men Of high standing-mcn who
will measure up with those found IN
much larger institutions of earning.
ITO my mind, it is a 81 and
shame that any subordinate at the
university of North Dakota, backed
by a few political friends can Gre

q condition that is unilarmonlous,
unnecessary and disgraceful. Such
q condition could not be created If
our state university were divorced
from politics.
"Thc president and the Ceans Of
the various colleges, acting ,as a
board, should have the absolute
right Of hiring and firing profess
sors and other necessary help needed
in carrying on the work of our state
university, and be responsible to the
people Of North Dakota for the Uni
versity.
No Place for Politics
"Politics has no place in. our in
stitutions of higher learning. and
our university, with it's wonderful
traditions AMI history, should not be
used as q political football.
II sincerely home that you, IS !
representative of the people of our
great state. will do your utmost to
see that the PR ident of our uni
versity and his staff are given am
pie authority, without interference
from the state board Of control, to
properly manage and control the
destinies of the university Of North
Dakota, and l hope you will see to it
that the state 30 I'd of control, il. so
far as our institutions of higher
learning arc concerned, shall act in
an advisory capacity and nothing
more Such a move will prohibit

STOCK PRICES
REACTI0NARY
Bear Traders Attack Wide
Variety of Issues-Rails
Show Weakness

New York, Dec. S.-tR,-The
reaction in stock prices was con-
tinued today despite repeated ef-
forts of operators for the advance
to gain control Of the price move
Lncnt. Political uncertainties Great
ed by the definite withdrawal of
President Coolidge, fears Of higher
interest rates aroused by the higher
coupon GA the new treasury financ-
ing and the disappointing steel
trade reports were the principal
reasons assigned for the selling
movement. Bear traders attacked
a wide variety Of issues, some of
which declined sufficiently to dis
lodge weakened marginal accounts.
Raising of the annual dividend CT
Southern Railway common from 81
to SO annually brought about a
brisk covering movement around
midday, but it soon petcred out.
Banks called about S5,OOO,OOO in
loans, but call money was in plenti-
full supply at the renewal rate Of
four per cent. Publication of the
final government crop estimate Of

$4,000 bales below the preceding
month, was about in line with the
trades expectations. An early adj
vance Of about 81 bale in cotton
futures was not maintained.
Southern Railway common, which
sold below $25 share in 1923,
scared to a new high record around
$1.49 a share following the an
nouncement of the higher dividend.
Weakness cropped out, however, in
several other rails, Louisville and
Nashville, "Nickel Plate" Baltimore
and Ohio, Delaware and Hudson and
Chesapeake and Ohio all off two. to
three points.
Midland Steel Products preferred
broke nine points; National Bis
cult six and one half; Mathieson

Woolworth, Radio, Pierce Arrow

and Tube sold down three to four
points. United States Steel COM
mon sank to a new low on the cur
rent movement at 1874 Sd, rallied
to 141 and then fell back to the low
price again by early. afternoon.
Independent strength was shown
by Porto Rico Tobacco 'B", Tram

prices for the year.

evening, November q, the Rev.
Halsey Ambrose addressed circular
letters to members of the legisla-

conditions at the school, as he
viewed them, and made suggestions
that the president Of the university
