COLLEGE ALUMNI PROTEST Head of Board Expresses Frank Surprise at Reaction Which Developed Fargo, N. D., Jan. 12.-.)—The board of administration will recon- sider its proposal to make drastic in- creases in fees for non-resident stu- dents at North Dakota state insti- tutions of higher learning. Its chairman, Nelson Sauvain, in Fargo Tuesday, pledged the board’s consideration of every objection to the fee proposal, formal or informal, urging that every argument concern- ing the matter, pro or con, be sub- mitted to the board at Bismarck within the next week. Until he has had an opportunity to confer with other members of the board, Sauvain said he could not name a date at which the fee pro- posal would be laid open for con- sideration, but said the matter would be given early attention. “We have welcomed all the objec- tions to the proposal. which have de- veloped since the first announcement. We feel it is only fair to give these objections every consideration, and we will welcome any further inform- ation on the matter in favor of the proposal or against it prior to the board conference.” Alumni Make Protest Impertant among the numerous attacks on the proposal, is a forma! objection drawn by the board of the North Dakota State College Alumni and Former Students’ association, drafted Tuesday and sent immediate- ly to the board's office at the capital. Announcing this step on the of his board, Everett J. Wallum, secr retary of the association, said the formal demand to the state board in- cluded numerous points in opposition to the proposal, most of them already aired by other groups, but had in ad- dition other points deemed worthy ot; the state board's attention. H “A point we are raising,” said Wal- lum,” is that the North Dakota Agri- cultural college is a land grant school, @ good share of its income provided by the federal government. It has! seemed hardly fair to us that the: state board should attempt to pro-| hibit attendance on non-resident stu- dents while this circumstance pre- vails. We are inclined to regard the Proposed fee as actual prohibition of non-resident students, assuming the mount far in excess of what any out of state student could pay for enroll- ment here. Sauvain Expresses Surprise Sauvain expressed frank surprise at! the number of angles to the fee situa-| tion which developed since the board's announcement. “It has become a matter of state- wide interest almost overnight. The schools, the students, the press and others interested have introduced ar- guments either opposed to the in- i crease or in favor of it which natur- ally did not at once occur to the board when the proposal was drafted. On the basis of these arguments the board will reconsider the matter and (Continued on page seven) DAWES ELNINATES SEL AS CANDDATE Ambassador to England Says _ Gossip of Presidential Aims ‘pattie. > — in-Short Fhne- | Roosevelt Voices cs STATE PENTENTARY IS SOREL CROWDED, SHERFFS ARE TLD |Warden C. C. Turner Says Cell- blocks Will Be Filled With- Minot, N. D., Jan. 12.—(#)—Com- mitments to the North: Dakota state penitentiary, coming at a rate double any prior figures during the last two months, have sorely taxed prison facilities, Warden C. C. Turner said in Minot Tuesday. Warden Turner, here for a round table gathering of North Dakota sheriffs, said that 90 more commit- ments will see the facilities to care for prisoners at Bismarck /utterly ex- heausted. “Our prison population is 450,”” the warden said, ‘and we have only one cell: block left in four on the east side of the prison which we may continue to ‘double up. ‘When that is gone, there is only the new west cell block to continue doubling up and we will be filled not only to capacity, but far beyond it.” Blames Economic Canditions The warden blames crimes of the times, crimes prompted by economic conditions and not prohibition, with pouring prisoners into the care of the state. The principal part of the pri- soners now being “mugged in” at Bismarck consist of larceny law vio- lators, burglars, and parties convict- ed.of charges arising from the writing of checks. To make room for prisoners at Bis- marck, 80 trusties have been placed in the old officers’ quarters, the orig- inal” Bismarck penitentiary of the territory of Dakota. Most of the in- side trusties are housed in the north| hospital wing as_ result of the-con- gestion. “North Dakota is proud of its rec- ord of no prison riots,” Warden Tur- ner said, “but at:the same time our precautions never have been carried to a higher degree than at present ‘Damn Nonsense’ Chicago, Jan. tice on the country in general and the politicians in particular that he is a loyal supporter of President Hooyer, thus eliminating himself as a Possibility for the Republican presi- dential nomination.

The government would emphasize, the agency said, that it believes the urgent problem at the moment in Manchuria is to restore peace and order and that Japan’s aim is to make the territory a safe place in which to live, making possible an open door policy of equal opportunity.

Replying to contentions of Senator Brookhart, an Iowa Republican prohi- bitionist, that the newspapers had organized some sort of “racket” against dry organizations because they refused or neglected to “buy space,” Senator Metcalf confined his statement to accounts of testimony before his committee on the bill to permit four per cent beer. Metcalf, chairman of the commit- tee, said “the press associations and correspondents representing newspa- Pers before this committee have re- ported these hearings as fairiy as possible but if it is true that there is some sort of news racketeering going on, I want to invite those organiza- tions who have such evidence to Present it to this committee. “It should be thoroughly under- stood by both sides,” he added, “that the witnesses presented thus far have been called by the proponents of this (beer) bill and that direct testimony, hag naturally all been in favor of it. “It 1g therefore obvious. that press reports must largely carry the side favoring the legalization of beer. At a later date the opponents of this bill will be allotted time equal to that given the proponents.” Metcalf, an anti-prohibitionist, read his statement after five more wit- nesses had appeared before his com- mittee and urged passage of the Is Passed Overwhelming Approval Is Given Measure as Senators Vote 63 to 8 PRESS HOOVER’S PROGRAM Oral Opposition Is Vigorous But Unavailing; Frazier Fa- vors Bill Washington, Jan. 12.— (AP) — Overwhelming senate approval of the reconstruction corporation meas- ure signalled Tuesday a general ad- vance for the entire presidential pro- gtam of economic legislation. The two-billion dollar reconstruc- tion unit passed the senate late Mon- day night, 63 to 8, with weve few amendments attached to it.

A. Ruden, South Dakota Superintendent of banks, as the northwest's representative on the board of directors of the proposed reconstruction corporation. In asking the appoinment of Ru- den as one of the four directors other than ex-officio members of the board, Governor Green also asked Governors J. E. Erickson of Montana and George Shafer of North Dakota to support his rec- ommendation as of “vital interest to the northwest.” ber two in President Hoover's list: the: bill to increase the capital’ of federal Yand banks* by $100,000, It already has passed the house. Committees pushed forward their hearings on the other economic bills, among them a new one to set up a $150,000,000 corporation to release de- Posits in insolvent banks. This is strongly supported. Opposition Is Vigorous True to its promise, the senate reached its passing vote over some vigorous vocal opposition and an enor- mous extent of debate on proffered amendments which would have ex- tended the aid of the reconstruction corporation to almost every endeavor needing cash. One of the most im- portant of the defeated changes would have turned a portion of the corpo- Tation’s capital over to cities in fiscal difficulties. New York's Mayor Walker was a leading instigator in this but the administration had no difficulty in obtaining support in both parties to beat the plan. One of the amendments which went through was an unrelated “rider” pro- viding $50,000,000 which the agricul- ture department would lend to farm- ers. Senator Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, tacked it on. Loans to states and state-controlled rural cred- it systems were refused. Senator Carey of Wyoming took care the senate should stay right with the administration program by hav- ing adopted a resolution to take up the farm loan measure ahead of any- thing else Monday.

The old argument that Mellon is connected with business was revived but nothing was done about it.

Entries were continuing to pour in Tuesday and officials believed that nearly every one of the hundreds of cages would be filled by evening.

Types entered included Whites, Reds, Bronzes, and Blacks.
