Series of Articles On Board
Members Appear In Uni

In The Minnesota Daily, Univer-
sity newspaper, Of November 8
was published an interview with
Ben Dubois, Of this city, who is q
member Of the University Board OF
Regents. Articles on members OF
the board are published in series
and the story about the local Re
gent was written by Herman Ber-
lovitz, reporter. The article follows
(By Herman Berlovitz)
Mr.. Ben Dubois, newly appoint
ed regent, is a tall, easy-going small
town banker, who has lived in
Sank Centre all his life.
The bespeckled regent is the kind
of a chap who "joshes" reporters
about their work, and is very proud
of the fact that "he doesn't fish
hunt, play checkers, or anything"
Friday he attended a meeting oil
the Board Of Regents for the sec.
ond time, and, consequently, didn',
have much to say about his forth
coming work with that organiza
ton. Moreover, he was hungry after
the long, sunrise drive and equally
long meeting of the regents.

on the subject. He did not, howev.

Born in Sank Centre in 1885, Mr.
Dubois has spent a good part OF
his life in country banking. He is
married and has five children. His

ney he often makes. He got his ear.
