Chancellor C. S. Boucher's request for retirement will
be accepted by the university Board of Regents at its March
23 meeting, according to an announcement made late yes
terday by R. W. Devoe, president of the organization.
Since the chancellor's request, a committee composed
of Devoe and two other members of the Board of Regents,
Marion Shaw and Frank Long, have been surveying candi
dates for the vacancy. "The committee has not contacted
anybody yet, however," Mr. Devoe said.
Dr. Boucher, who has been chancellor since July, 1938,
said Thursday that his original request for retirement was
made Jan. 18, 1945.
"Since my request for retirement on Sept. 1, 1946, was
submitted approximately .a year ago, the chancellor added,

pie, Fred Teller, George Arbogast
and Tom Green are the first new
members tapped since March,

Folder, president. "
The Klub is planning to present

The city campaign, which is
scheduled to open Mpnday, also
was a preliminary start Wednes
day night when workers in all di
visions met at the Cornhusker to
hear Harold Read, former field
director in the Mediterranean
theater of war, tell of the work
of the Red Cross overseas.
Mr. Read stated that the work
of the field director was mainly
that of liaison betwen the soldier
and his home, but the Red Cross
co-operated with the Special Serv
ices officer and the Chaplain in
planning entertainment for the
men.
Club service was also an im
portant part of the Red Cross
work, he declared. In the Naples
club, 10,000 men a day went
through the snack bar, according
to Read. In discussing some of
the criticisms levelled against the
Red Cross, Read stated that the
men were asked to pay for snacks

Respect for Regents.
"My respect for the intellectual
honesty and capacity for clear
thinking of the Board of Regents
is profound. For many of our
faculty members and administra

have forced me to give up my
associations with them."
Mr. Devoe said that Chancellor
