Regents Report
Faculty Committee Reduces
Chancellor List To Thirteen
Thirteen out-of-state candidates
are being considered for appoint
ment as University Chancellor,
it was announced Saturday after
a Regents meeting with the fac
ulty committee..-
The faculty committee recom
mended the names from an ori
ginal list of approximately 75.
It was indicated that the men
are on the faculties of institutions
of higher learning in other states.

REGENT CHAIRMAN C. Y.
Thompson said the Regents are
not bound by the faculty group
list, but are free to consider
other names. He added, how
ever, that the faculty nominees
will be given "earnest considera

Action On Mitchell
Lambert Invited
"I'll just have to wait for the
Regents," were the closing words
of Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell, chair
man of the University's depart
ment of Agricultural Economics,
Sunday, . as he ' presented his
views of the current farm price
support controversy.
Defending his original state
ment that the "story speaks for
itself," Dr, Mitchell spoke on
the problems of food, population,
and surpluses to the Unitarian
Student World Fellowship group
at their breakfast Sunday morn
ing. DR. MITCHELL has been un
der fire from the Hall County
Farm Bureau for his article in
a recent national farm magazine.
Mitchell advocates fixed price
supports for farmers rather than
the flexible supports favored by
the Farm Bureau,
A committee of the Farm Bu
reau requested that the Univer
sity Regents "take action"
against Mitchell. At their Sat
urday meeting, the Regents de
cided to wait until next week's
meeting before taking any defi
nite stand.
DEAN W.V? LAMBERT .of
the College of Agriculture will
be asked to attend this meeting.
Dean Lambert has been in Den
ver at a conference for the past
week and will return some time
Tuesday. He has been unavail

As Dr. Mitchell spoke Sun
day, he made a record on a
transcribing machine of his en
tire discussion. After speaking,
he distributed copies of his re-
NU Coed Injured
In Chemistry Lab
A University coed was in
jured Monday when a chemis
try experiment exploded in her
face.
Margaret Jane Drayton, a
Home Ec sophomore, was mak
ing nitrobenzene for an experi
ment in Chemistry 31 lab. In
the process of pouring benzene
into a mixture of concentrated
sulfuric and nitric acid, the
compound reacted violently and
splashed the liquid into her face.
Several nearby students were
showered but uninjured.
Although Miss Drayton's con
dition is not believed to be se
rious, she is being treated by
Student Health.
Henry Baumgarten, assistant
professor of chemistry and in

port to the Agricultural Com
mittee of the National Produc
tion Authority. The report sum
marized his remarks of the
morning discussion.
"Solving the surplus problems
of the next few years will re
quire us to engage in vigorous
programs of economic and social
action. We can attempt to de
crease production or increase
consumption, or we can do both.
"Either course will be expen
sive and will require changes
in present law, but if we refuse
to face realities the problem will
be more expensive and even
dangerous to our national in
terest." MITCHELL EXPLAINED that
the United States faces immedi
ate surpluses and must adopt
some course of positive action.
If farm production is restricted,
the large segment of our agri
cultural population will face
serious problems of adjustment,
but any program aimed at in
creasing our consumption would
demand vastly increased govern
ment machinery.
"Something must be done now
to meet the surpluses," Mitchell
emphasized. 'We cannot afford
to" waste human" resources or
agricultural products in the im
mediate future while waiting for
population growth rates to solve
our problem."

Departmental Speechs Slated;
Dow Explains New Organization
No all-University Convocations
have been scheduled for this
year but the convocation pro
gram has been extended not
broken down.
David Dow, professor of law
and chairman of the convoca
tions committee, made this state
ment when asked if any all-University
convocations were to be
omitted as part of University
functions.
Dow said that the convoca
tions program had been changed
for two reasons. "First, because
we had no regular Chancellor,
the chancellor's convocation was
not scheduled,'.' he said. "The
reason for making the second
change," he continued, "was we
have tried to experiment on a
new idea to bring a larger num
ber of people to talk to under
graduates in classes or lectures.
This change in the convocations
policy will bring speakers on the
department's level, . instead of
the entire University," he said.
DOW SAID that the Convo
cations Committee asked the
various departments to find men
who would be stimulating to the
students in that department and
the Committee has received re
sponses from 10 departments.
Dow said that the convoca
tions program was changed be
cause "many faculty members
did not think the convocation
speakers were giving worth
while talks. This caused insuf
ficient student reaction. The
Committee members thought
University money was ineffic
iently used and that perhaps this
change might bring better re
sults," he said.
ONE OF the "better results"
was pointed out by Carl Snyder,
former member of the Convoca
tions Committee. He said that the
speaker, an expert in his par
ticular field, will be available to
a smaller group of students who
are definitely interested in that
particular field. However, if the
committee thinks the speaker
will interest all University stu
dents, an all-University convoca
tion will be scheduled.
While this experiment is
"entirely new" at the University,
Dow pointed out that plans were
laid last spring. At that time
former Chancellor Gustafson
spoke of the experiment to Act
ing Chancellor Selleck and .the
Convocations Committee.

patient to live a happy, normal
life." He also expressed hope
that everyone will take advan
