of Regents meeting when the
board met with DR.. Marion
Parker, chief of the corps re
search division of the USDA' S
agricultural research service,
and DR. D. V. Lumsden and J

The new agreement would
modify the Joint program insti-
tuted by an act of Congress in
1949, the university release
stated Under this program the
University and the Department
of Agriculture comparatively
operate the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station IN Alaska
The proposed action to realign
the functions of the Depart

the University to have COM

cilitIes.
Besides the Palmer station,
the University operates an ex-
perimental farm in the Tanana
Valley near College, and an ex-

The Druids also believed
that, on Halloween, ghosts,

elves came out to harm people.
They built large bonfires to
brighten the evil ones away,
and huddled about them telling
of their encounters with ghosts.

Der of ways, the article is head

to the Legislature for appropri-
ate action and then taken to
Congress for final action.
The proposed realignment

the official release said.
T h e board is requesting
transfer of ownership of gov
eminent properties located al

versity, and changes IN the CO
operative agreement between
the University and the Depart

place important phases of tn

in the state under more direc
supervision of the University.
President William Ransom
Wood stated that this actor
would bring the operation OF
the Agricultural Experimental

similar undertakings in the
! other 40 states.
The proposed changes in the
joint agreement under which
the Department of Agriculture

the government of agriculture

nor will they require added ex-

here estimate that loss of the
