contract with the trustees. The
contract, the copy reveals, was
signed on Dec. 28, 194S, just a few
days before the Democratic admin
istration took office, although it
was not effective until July /, 1949.
1t is a five-year contract
1t is specified that the contract
can be terminated by four reasons:
/. Automatically on June 80,
1854.
2. By mutual consent.
3. BY the trustees through prov
en- personal dishonesty or gross
immortality on the part Of DR.

A. BY DIR. Gregg by five months
notice of his desire to revoke.
The contract does not permit the
trustees to fire the president for
inefficiency.
The document also reveals that
DR.. Gregg's salary is to be mot less
than $4,000 year, plus $3.50 worth
of produce and products of the
school farm, and $500 for enter
tanning visiting educational digni-
taries."
The six trustees Of the college,
including one just appointed Mon
day, are named as the defendants
in the suit.
In his exact words, Mr.. Young
claims:
''This action Cin U. s. District
Court arises under the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States, in that the
plaintiff CDR. Gregg is being de-
MED the due process of law by an
agency of the state of Delaware"
A The new development in the en-
tangled case, which arose from {
student strike at the college las
winter came, as surprise to mos
observers.
DR.. Gregg was originally charges
. with a number of instances of mis-
, behavior in his administration o
the state college. Governor Carve
ordered a hearing of the complaint
, and on May "a, the board that wa
, then liz office and which conducte

3. Changing or resembling the
former boards decision of May "a
(when the board voted not to re-
scind DIR. Gregg's contract).
4. Taking any action to render
his contract void.
The complaint contends that DR..
Gregg is to be heard by a board
which includes two members who
are biased and prejudiced"
The document complains that
State Auditor james W. W. Baker,
who is a member of the board, is in
that category because he testified
in support Of the charges against
DR.. Gregg at the hearing conducted
BY the former board.
Samuel N. Culver, another board
member, is put in the same catego-
ry by the complaint, which alleges
that he repeatedly demanded the
resignation of the plaintiff during
the proceedings before the former
board, and voted to oust him.
The bill of complaint further al
leges that the reopening of the
matter of the charges would 'ren-
der nugatory a decision of the
board at the former hearing" ;
would ''vitiate the force and effect
of a valid contract; and would

decision was rendered by the board
as to whether or not the charges
against DR.. Gregg were proven o.
not proven, The former board, HI
pointed out. only voted not to re
seind DR.. Gregg's contract.
A resolution adopted by the pres

charges and voiced the presen
boards desire to make specifi

Famous Market Toppers
The cattle of the Bears Paw are

that produce them. A poor COW goes
out and to the market as fast as
she can amble down the mountain.
and a poor bull doesn't get that
far. He never gets there in the first
place.
If a good looking bull doesn't pro-
duce, regardless of his original cost,
he gets the hot foot too. Jim Bar
Der, n of the most respected cat
tlemen in the area, had this to say
about bulls, ga good one is in our
herd a long time, not only during
his useful life, but through his
blood carried in the heifers he sired.
A poor bull fingers quite a while,
too, because it seems you W. get
rid of the faults he puts in the herd,
even though he only stays a year."
In many ways the cattle of the
Bears Paw are run much the same
way now as when the fathers of the
present generation h o m e steaded
here in the sos and COS. 1t was
grass in summer and hay in win

grass and a lot less hay. Now most
ranchers feel that protein supple

added.
