board. acting as the State University
Committee, without the three elected
members, went ahead and prepared
a statement.
Tuesday morning Attorney Gen
eral Forrest Anderson had to chastise
the appointed Regents for going
ahead and making a statement which
had not been called for by the full
Board of Regents, and before the
full board had formally accepted the
Legislative resolution Glib 28).
The meeting the day before was
a case of the tail wagging the dog
because the full board should direct
a committee not committee the
board. Superintendent of Public In
struction Harriet Miller remembered
that a year ago she had included in
board policy a motion which prohib-
tied this sort of thing. So they |
backed up and first acknowledged |
the resolution from the Legislature
which had been delivered to the
secretary of the board, Al Dubbe, by
an enrolling clerk, instead of the
of States office, which is
customary procedure.

The statement on the Borden af-

Statement Approved By The State

Regents University of Montana
March IL, 1868
The State Board of Education, ex
fficio Regents of the University of
Tontana, is in receipt of a Resolu-
ion from the House of Representa- .
ives in which the Board is advised

it is one of their favorite campaign
babies this vote would have put
them on record, to all intents and
purposes, as giving consent to killing
the tax bill which simply wasn't in
their plans. They had it well-calcu-
lated to blame the defeat of the bill
on the Democratic Senate, and still
have major issue for the next two
years.
The immediate chaos on the
Democratic side of the House was
source of great glee to the Re-
publicans. With the power to do
whatever they wanted they could
revive and prolong the agony and
still let any subsequent confer
erice committee "agree to dis
agree.
Republicans rolled out an electric
organ from the appropriations COM
mittee room and played and sang
GLORY Halleluijah', and few solemn
hymns, while waiting for the call of
the House to be ended.
The situation was beyond compre-
hension and represented potential
debacle to those who had opposed
HB los.
When the House was called to or
der, Eskildsen asked to have his mo-
ton withdrawn, but Republicans
turned him down. Mathers, in a
oh S+o+o L
thought there should be another con-
ference committee because perhaps
Eskildsen might know something the
didn't and maybe some
of the Senators had had ga change
of heart"
In the final hours of the session
Monday the fourth conference COM
mittee again agreed to disagree and |
the bill died. The Republicans had |
another chance to dig at the Demo-
cratic Senate and the co-operatives
and the outcome was no different
han it was before the move by Es-
lildsen.
Republicans had grabbed at the
opportunity to create some chaos
in the Democratic ranks; but they
had no intention of passing the
Coop Tax Bill under any circum-
stances. Republicans are not going
to assume the responsibility for
passing this type of legislation as
long as they can keep it an issue
that fans the fervent fires of
antagonism in the voting public.

cere desire to approach this assign
ment with the greatest possible de-
gree of objectivity, the Regents first
wish to make clear their attitude
toward freedom of speech particu-
larly as it applies to the teacher in
institutions of higher learning. They
therefore wish to endorse that por-
ton of the 1910 Statement of Prin-
ciples on Academic Freedom and
Tenure announced by the American
Association of University Profess
sors*, which reads as follows:
Academic Freedom
"(a) The teacher is entitled to full
freedom in research and in the publ
cation of the results, subject to the
adequate performance of his other
academic duties; but research for
pecuniary return should be based
upon an understanding with the au-
thorities of the institution.
"(b) The teacher is entitled to
freedom in the classroom in discuss
ing his subject, but he should be care
full not to introduce into his teaching
controversial matter which has no
to his subject. Limitations
of academic freedom because of re-
ligious or other aims of the insti-
tuition should be clearly stated in
writing at the time of the appoint
ment.
"(c) The college or university
teacher is citizen, a member of a
learned profession, and an officer of
an educational institution. When he
speaks or writes as a citizen. he
should be free from institutional
or discipline, but his spec |
al position in the community i'm
poses special obligations. AS man
# learning and an educational Off
'er, he should remember that the
public may judge his profession and
MS institution by his utterances.
Hence he should at all times be
ccurate, should exercise appropriate
estraint, should show respect for
he opinions of others, and should
make every effort to indicate that
e is not an institutional spokes-
lan."
The Regents place particular en-
basis in paragraphs (b) and (c)
f the above statement relating to
he responsibilities as we'll as the
rivileges which members of the pro-
ession and professional organiza-
ons associate with this important
oncept of American life.
In compliance with the request of
lie House of Representatives, and
desire to operate within the above
sfinition of academic freedom, the
egents hereby request President
ewburn to investigate the matter :

The planes are equipped with rocket ejec-
tor seats which can fire the pilot 800 feet in
the air; his parachute opens automatically.
Just few weeks ago, the radar intercept
officer on a Phantom was ordered to eject by
the pilot when the cockpitS filled with smoke.
The smoke cleared and the pilot was able to
fly the plane, but the other officer had already
shot up into the air and sailed down nicely into
the sea. The carriers two helicopterS, which
fly around the ship during air operations, went
into action. Dick Sullivan, an airman from 1925
Davis street NV, and a graduate of George
town Prep School, was lowered into the sea
from one of the 'copters. He used knife to
free the downed man from his harness. The
other 'copter lowered a seat and the man was
picked up.

 Chirikov joined in the smile. That will be a true joy" said he.
 On June 4, 1741, two vessels, the St. Peter and the St. Paul, were ready for action. They had been built especially for the American Expedition, and after several test runs were now anchored in Avat- cha Bay. Boring would command the St. Peter and Chirikov the St. Paul.
 At a signal from Vitus, the ships weighed anchor and without fan fare of any sort, took a fair wind and stood out to sea.
 This is a great moment, sir" said It Waxel, who as compe- tent navigator had been appointed first officer on the St Peter.
 To the lieutenant's surprise, Commander Boring hardly ack- noWledged his enthusiasm. He ap- peared tired and pale, and the in terest he should have shown was not there.
