members have more time to study
and think about these public af-
fairs. Or it may be that the public
official who has to win the peoples
vote at the next election is more
careful to cast his vote for the pub
lie good than is the political or bust
ness appointee who is on the board
to serve the dominant interests of
one town or the political fortunes
of his personal boss.
Also, if a man or woman had to
stand for election to the State
Board of Education the people of
the state would have a chance
Though Their newspapers and radios
to find out whether he or she was
fitted for such an important re-
sponsibility. A nan can be honest
and still not be the right man
for such a position. The right
man should be able to give much
more time than the present board
members seem able to give. He
should also be a mar who is known
to have a we'll established interest
in educational questions. This re-
quirement would eliminate some of
the members of recent boards. If
men of these qualifications were
elected we would avoid such mis-
fortunes as the University is now
suffering. If poorer men made their
way in they could be retired by the
people when their mistakes were
evident.

MINERS MAKE TEST Of 81h0UR STATUTE
MINERS KILLED
IN STEWART Mine

George Jacisin, 25, and Edward
Toppala, 40, lost their lives Thurs
day, Nov. 16, while working in the
Stewart mine in a rill stope on the
1900 level. The two Butte miners
were believed to have been killed
instantly, when buried under a
heavy fall of ground.
The accident took place during the
first half of the regular night shift
after the shift boss had gone through
on his rounds, and was not discov-
cred by the management of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
until the shifter went through again
in the latter half of the shift. Con-
siderable difficulty was encountered
in getting the bodies out Of the
stope, and were not brought to the
surface until late in the morning Of
the following day.
Miners Opinion Ignored
Both men were members of the
Butte Miners Union. The secretary
of the organization, William Mason,
states that the union is not satisfied
that the accident was unavoidable
and inquiries are being made cor
corning the causes.
Investigation to date has disclosed
that other miners who worked in
the place previously had warned the
management of the dangerous con
dition of the ground there. One
miner, who worked in the place sew
eral days before the accident, had
told shift boss Frank Eltz that it
should be cribbed up before some
one was killed.
However, his advice was not heed
ed, and he quit the job. A similar
fall of ground occurred in the place
a few days before. It is believed
that the accident could have been
avoided had proper precautions been
taken and adequate timber service
been given the miners.

UNIVERSITY STUDENT
WRITES VIEWPOINT
ON FACULTY FRAY

Many interested in the State Uni
versity problem may have been
wondering just what attitude stu
dents on the campus are taking to-
ward the situation. The Montana
Kaimin, State U%niversity's students
daily, last week published a com
munication from Ellsworth Price,
son of Mrs. E. J.. Olson of White
fish, a senior and an honor student
on the campus.
The communication, addressed to
the editor of the Kaimin, reads as
follows:
Dear Sir:
"Out of the current controversy
arise the following pertinent ques-
tons:
81. Are politicians and business
men of the city and state unduly
interested in the university?
20. What are the specific charges
against the dismissed professors?
SO. Is it true that the situation is
causing the legislature to withhold
appropriations?
a. Is the rating of the university
threatened?
IS. Why do not we, as students
in the university, future holders OF
degrees, and citizens Of Montana
and this democracy, know about the
situation?
IS. Will publicity be given to the
investigation being conducted by the
Student Faculty council?
Thanking you, l am,
Very truly yours,
JAY ELLSWORTH PRICE"

Mass Meetings Asks
Simmons Removal
From University Posi-

Although even the immediate re-
moval of DR.. George Finlay Sim
mons from his post as president of
Montana State University could not
undo all the damage he has caused
the institution, his removal must be
the first step toward restoring har-
mony on the campus and regaining
for Montana higher education the
respect it has lost throughout the
educational world.
This was the conclusion reached
Friday night, November II, at a
mass meeting in the old Butte high
school, sponsored by Butte alumni.
DR., N. ]. Lennes, head Of the mathe-
MATES department at Montana State
University, and one of the five pro-
fessors recently asked to resign by
the state board of education; and
Harrison ]. Freebourn, attorney
general of Montana, were the
speakers. w. E. Coyle, president of
the Butte alumni committee, acted
as chairman.
There can be no question of COM
promise or peaceful settlement of
the controversy between the facul-
ty and President Simmons, DR..
Lennes said. AS though he were a
%cancerous growth, he must be cut
out, or the institution will perish.
In a brilliant speech, Mr.. Free
bourn reviewed the political and
economic backgrounds for the tyran-
nical situation existing at the uni
versity. It is unhealthy for a pro-
fessor to teach the truth in this
state, he said in substance, because
the corporate interests that dominate
all phases of Montana life cannot
stand to have the truth told. 1t is
also unsafe for professors to be too
friendly toward organized labor. Mr.,
Freebourn discussed in detail the
composition of the state board Of
education, explaining why its mem
bers, being appointees of the gov
ernor, were consistently anti-liberal
and anti-labor. The fight for dis
missal of Simmons and r~einstate-
ment of the five professors is labor's
fight, Mr.. Freebourn pointed out,
because labor has always fought for
progressivism, truth, and freedom Of
speech and teaching. Politics and
corporation control must be driven
out of the university so that the sons
and daughters of common people
may have a free institution to at
tend, Mr.. Freebourn said.
Although all members of the state
board of education were invited to
speak at the mass meeting, Mr..
Freebourn, an ex-officio member,
was the only one to accept. DR..
Lennes was the only representative
of the ousted professors. DR.. H. G..
Merriam is in Oregon, and Profess
sor Philip o. Keeney is flat on his
back recovering from dangerous
hemorrhages resulting from worry
and anxiety caused by his long fight
for reinstatement. Professor E. A.
Atkinson attended the meeting, but
did not speak.
Chairman w. E. Coyle said that
Governor Ayers wrote approving
the meeting, but declining to attend
"for reasons of health" DR.. George
Finlay Simmons wrote that he did
not think it proper to air the uni
versity controversy before the pub
lie.

ACUILAR PREDICTS
VICTORY FOR KEY
WEST OVER VENICE
DECLARES coNcHs' BRAND
OF BALL SURPRISES FANS
AT HOME Or AWAY FROM
HERE i
Bv PEDRO AcurLAR

We predict that Key West
Conchs will win the two-game
series with the Venice Indians
on the local field this weekend.
Conchs' brand of ball always
surprises fans, whether they play
an outside team on their own
ground or go away to compete
with an outside nine.
Conchs proved this when they
played in Miami last winter.
The writer does not know of
any other amateur baseball club
in Florida better than the Railey-
Milan outfit of last winter-yet
the Conchs whipped that team.
On the Miami team were Ban
dera, an excellent catcher and a
''sweetN hitter and thrower;
Adams, Graham and Lefty
Schemer in the box QGfty is
the best first baseman- and all
around player in the state in his
class; Duncan, Warren Schra-
der, Gilmore brothers, Right and
others outstanding players.
Graham was not able to finish
a game against the Conchs in
Key West.
The local outfit has shutout
DELAY Beach, and DELAY had
several of their players on the
All-State semi-pro nine last
wears.

championship affair between the
west coast and east coast be-
cause of the high baseball stand
ing of both clubs. The games
will start at $3.50 o'clock each aft
ernoon.
Speaking of the local champs
we can only say what they have
been doing for a number of
years-meeting and defeating
first-class teams from Homestead
up to Fort .Lauderdale. During
this period, the locals have faced
some pretty smart pitchers and
have come out victorious in very
hard-fought contests.
In Venice the Conchs will buck
up against a baseball team that
has tackled and defeated the best
and most promising clubs on the
west coast. Just recently it de-
feated the strong Fl. Myers ALI
Star aggregation SO in a thriller
that had the spectators on their
toes throughout.
Lefty" Surls, of the west coast,
a former Boston Red Sox pitch
er. will probably get the assign
ment on the hill for the visitors.
Fresh from a shutout victory
over Fl. Myers, this smart hurler
may give the locals lot of trou-
BILE but Key WesterS will have
confidence in the sticks of Ar
mando Acevedo, Cyril Beliss)
Griffin, William Chg BilD Gates

who finished first, third, fourth
and fifth. respectively, in the
recent championship series bat

the Pirates.
To check the visitors hitting
spree. should they begin pelting
the ball. there will be on hand
Joe (House) Casa and Robert
Bethel for Saturdays game and
Quintan Lopez and Lucilo for
Sundays contest. Conchs will
use its regular lineup with Grit
fin behind the plate.
Steady practice has been held
by the conchs every afternoon,
and Manager Hanlin claims the
boys are in AL condition.
Good enough to beat the
Yankees, ,. says Winfield Shorty
