As it came from committee the ap propriation bill includes $400,000 for a horti cultural building and greenhouses, $150,000 for remodeling the power house, $50,000 for miscellaneous buildings; provisions for a new bridge over the Red Cedar, the purchase of the Minnis f a r m; $35,000 for research, $150,- 000 for extension. in While this bill the amount allowed is not as much- as the college requested it still is much more than has ever been granted before for general expense outside of building ap propriations. In noting the value of research to the state the legislature has done one thing which was not expected and President Friday's extension program was treated liberally when the slashes made in the budgets of other state institutions are considered. The horticultural building will provide the college with a most modern plant for the in struction of students in this science and will also place in the hands of the department the facilities needed for graduate work and study.

It has been that the alumni Before the association had expanded to its present size the old system undoubtedly was representative enough for most of those inter ested were able to attend the meetings and the resultant choices for offices were generally approved but the new problems with a great territorial expansion puts the problem in a dif ferent light. The executive committee of the association has prepared a plan which will be submitted for action at the annual meeting. Another matter upon which the executive committee registered a decision on April 21 to prepare a reel of motion was a proposal pictures of the college and alumni affairs so that it would be available for presentation at the various meetings of the branch associations and other places where it is requested.

B. Jakways, '76. New Carlisle, Ind. The Student Viewpoint It is possible that certain of the men inter ested in M. A. C. student publications in the past bear a feeling of resentment towards the manner of electing editors and business mana gers to fill vacancies caused by retiring ad ministrations. Undoubtedly there is a definite expression campus against the existing methods of election. sentiment the on of instance, the sport editor of either In recognizing the fact that the resentment as disappointed comes, in the main, from pirants, it is, notwithstanding, a notable fact that an expression of discontent is in evidence among those on a publication staff-who are not in line for executive positions. There is, the for little Wolverine or the Holcad. He has had voice in the direction of the publication. His position has been one requiring the utmost ability and awarding the smallest amount of honor. The co-ed editor, corre spondents, society reporters, and just the or dinary "cub" reporters, have had practically no opportunity to register any expression of personal desire in the selection of an editor. M. A. C. has been fortunate in the selection of editors of publications Rarely has a man been elected by popular vote who has not been capable of directing the work, but there is a possibility of such an occurrence. the various school class the The college attempts to leave the selection of talent to the masses. They feature popu larity at the expense of ability, ofttimes. There is a very evident solution of the prob lem: the students should elect a representa tive group to function as a student board of publications; this body would elect the staff the Wolverine and the Holcad; the staff, of in turn, would select its own editor and busi ness manager. Under such a plan, compe tence would be brought to the fore, and an efficient administration might be demanded by the students. THH M. A. C.
