REGENTS ASKED
TO QUIT AS u
HEAD CLEARED
Legislature Demands Resig-
nation of Talbot and
Pratt; Grievances in Stu
dents Petitions Sometimes
Untrue, Stated.

The resignation OF RegenLS
Talbot and Pratt of the Um-
versity of Nevada was demand
ed by the legislative commit
tee which investigated the con-
duct of the University and the
charges filed against President
Clark. The report of the COM
mittee was unanimously adopt
ed by that body.
The conclusions OF the commit
tee are as follows.
From the facts adduced the
conclusion is reached that Regents
Talbot and Pratt Immediately ten
der their designations to the gov
ernor and that the governor i'm
mediately accept the same. Ihat II
said designations are not rendered
Immediately by said regents, and
the legislature has time, impeach-
ment proceedings be instituted by
this legislature To remove from Oh
flee said Talbot and Pratt. That II
said designations are not immedl-
ately rendered and if impeachment
proceedings are not brought, tnen
We recommend that the majority
members of the board Immediately
define a policy for the conduct OF
the university. That thereafter
President Clark be guided by the
poliscy so defined by said majority
members OF the board and utterly
disregard and ignore the minority
members OF the board, Talbot and
Pratt.
"Only Way Out"
I'VE eblieve this the only solu-
ton of the problem and the only
way to produce harmony between
the board of regents and the preSi-
dent of the university and the only
way in which to insure stability at
the university and to attain the
high standing to which it aSplres.
"The committee also investigated
a certain petition filed by the stu
dent body of the university and Is
of the opinion, without going into
detail, that the same was i'll adv1S-
ed and unkindly 1t is true that
most of the grievances set out IN
the petition have as a basis idle
rurnor. It is true that many OF the
grievances contained in the petit
ton are untrue and not founded
On fact. It is true that some of the
grievances in the petition deserve
consideration but in the opinion
of the committee, the matter
should have first been submitted
to the president of the university
for investigation and correction, If
any be needed.
"NO Prejudice"
I'm many instances the griev-
ances amount to only difference
of opinion between the students
and the administration. We further
believe that such grievances as may
REQUIRE attention if submitted to
the president of the university by
the students in sane, proper and
dispassionate manner will receive
the consideration to which the
same will be entitled.
I'VE realize the situation of those
who testified before the committee
and werecommen dthat no feeling
of prejudice for or against any of
those testifying be entertained or
manifested by any one concerned" "

While connected with the Heye
Foundation, Mr.. Harrington, with
the cooperation of the State OF
Nevada, and the assistance OF Gov.
Scrugham, excavated the Lost City,
or Pueblo Grande, near st. Thomas
the official report of which has
been published in the American
Anthropologist, Vol. 20, No. 3, July
Sept. 1927.
He also restored q house typical
of those used by the inhabitants
of this Pubelo Grande, city sew
eral miles in length, and with Gov.
Scrugham, in 1926, instituted an
annual pageant of Indian life to
be held at the site Of the restored
buildings.
Agricultural People
From a brief conversation with
Mr.. Harrington it appeared that
the people of Pueblo Grande were
primarily agriculturistS, raising
corn, beans and squash. They used
the bow and arrow for hunting
mountain sheep, deer and rabbits
They wove coarse cotton fabrics
and made blankets by combining
bits of animal fur or feathers with
a cotton weave.
TWine of yucca fiber was woven
into mating, sandals, and used for
fastening tool handles. They chew
