A COUNTY SEAT WITHOUT A
COURT HOUSE

Bisbee has been officially de.
clared the county seat of Cochise
county as result of canvas of
the returns in a county seat re.
moval election held in that coun.
ty last November.
In the absence of any contest,
thus far. Bisbee justly claims to
be the county seat but the court
house sti remains at Tombstone
where official business is trans.
acted in all departments with
the exception of the superior
court. All of the official records
are in the vaults of the Tomb.
stone court house where they
are apt to remain indefinitely.
Bisbee is facing the situation of
being a county seat without O.
court house.
Contrary to expectations the
board of supervisors baked at
the issuance of bonds for the
construction of d court house
until such time as a majority of
the taxpayers, at an election for
this purpose, authorized the
bonds.
While Bisbee was the winner
in the county seat removal cam
paign it does not necessarily
follow that the taxpayers will
authorize the court house bonds
in the sum of $3OO,OOO at an
election to be held in February.
Outside of Bisbee dissatisfac-
tion is expressed over the county
with the selection of the court.
house site in that section of Bis.
bee known as Tombstone Can.
yon. Douglas, having been the
losing candidate for the county
seat in the November election,
apparently has lost all interest,
in a new court house in Bisbee.
Should Douglas and the outlying
precincts join together in oppo.
sition to financing new court
house on the site selected they
would have sufficient votes to-
defeat the bond issue-then just
where do we go from there?-

loss to Arizona agriculture and
business, was virtually assured

the infested areas in the eastern
part of the valley, to be handled
and paid for entirely by the fed

Fully 1900 men, taking up
much of the slack labor, will be
employed in the eradication
work. The task will require al

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA NEWS


February 17.-Arizona will have
Dean G. M. Butler. of the Col.
lege of Mines and Engineering
at the university on the com
mittee to select the recipient of
the recently adopted Clausen
Medal award.
The award is an engineers
welfare award planned by the
American Association of Engi.
neers. It is to be given annual.
+ ly to the person who performs
the most distinguished service
for the welfare OF the engineer,
social or economic.
The medal bears the inscrip
ton Awarded in recognition of
a signal public service. Desig
mated to mark the entrance of
the American Association of En-
gineers into the field of welfare. "
Associated with Doctor Butler
on the committee will be selec
ton of the most prominent engi
neers in the United States.
The most representative young
man and woman student of the
university will be chosen this
month to represent the univer
sity in the collegiate ball of fame
The contest will be conducted
by the Arizona Kittykat, cam
pus humor magazine, and an
editor of a prominent American
magazine will come to Tucson to
help the local judges choose the
most representative students.
The local judges at the uni
versity will first pick the three
outstanding women students and
the three outstanding men stu
dents. These students will have
their pictures published in the
campus magazine. The final
selection will then be made from
this grouping of six.
Contestants will be judged up
on scholarship, personality, &C
tivities, leadership, individuality
and reflection of the spirit of the
southwestern university.
An outline of the changes in
the plan for selection of annual
Rhodes scholars from the United
States has been received by
President Homer Leroy Shantz
of the university. The new
| plan gives each state yearly op
potunity for placing a scholar
at Oxford.
The communication from Frank
| Aydelotte, American secretary,
states that the new plan is the
result of careful research on the
part of a special committee and
that it has the endorsement of
nearly all associations of insti.
tutions of higher learning in the
United States.
Under the plan each state will
propose two candidates for the
honor each year. These candi
dates will compete with ten
other candidates from the states
included in their district.
The United States has been
divided into eight groups of six
states each. Arizona candidates
will compete with students from
California, Nevada. Colorado,
Utah and New Mexico. Four of
the twelve students will be then
| chosen as scholars each year
regardless of the state distinction
The plan suggests that if the
grouping of states in any part
of the country is considered un
fair change will be made to
suit individual differences.
Doctor Shantz will remain in
charge of the state candidates as
before. Under the old plan
each state was assured scholars
at definite appointment years.
1t is believed that the new plan
will give a greater opportunity
to select worthy students.
