PfIESIDENf PUNS TO
VISIT Ml WHILE
DOMING TOUR
(By The Auorlatrd Prm.)
WASHINGTON, D C. Apr. 10.—
President Harding hopes to visit
Alaska this summer when he goes to
the Pacific Coast on his speech-mak
ing trip. Although definite arranges
ments have not been made, it was said
at the White House today that he
probably would be able to leave on
the trip about June 20 and arrive in
Alaska about July 15.
At the same time it 'Was declared
that the President would not make the
trip as a political candidate. It was
asserted that he wanted to avoid in
every way possible the appearance of
going into the >V<?st as a political
figure. -
Much of the political discussion
now going on, it was said by those
close to the President, is regarded by
Mr. Harding as very premature. The
President w r as said to be unable tc
understand why a man elevated to the
highest office in the gift of the nation
cannot serve at least three veers of
his term without becoming th- o- me’
of political discussion.

tall enthusiasts anticipate that this

average for a college nine for the

Navy star, who is taking up his first
full season as head mentor, states
that after a thorough tryout of the

mighty good indeed. Blakeslee’s fore
cast is not overdrawn, in the view
of those who have followed the dia

Tho Middies opened up nearly two
weeks ago, by defeating Syracuse in
a game that was played in freezing
temperature. Then came the three

they forced University of North Car

bite the dust, but lost to North Caro
lina State. Then Amherst was beaten

tory over Vermont. The sailor lads
will get a chance to avenge the de
feat by Carolina State. The Tarheels

napolis on April 28, and the locals
are eagerly awaiting the coming of
that date. •

First, Dale Harris, veteran center
fielder, and who was also fighting it
out with Zimmerman for the back

Joint Conference Body Of Board
Of Governors And Alumni As
sociation To Be Named At Re
sult Of Parley Held Here Yes
terday Afternoon.
EARLY DRAFT EXPECTED;
MORE HARMONY EXISTS
A Conference committee of six
; members, three each to he ap
| pointed on behalf of the official
j Hoard of Governors and Visitors
jof St. John’s College, and the
Alumni Association, will draft
proposed plans for the rehabilita
tion of the college. Action pro
viding for the appointment of
such a committee was .taken, fol
lowing a conference between the
!>oard and a large delegation of
the alumni, headed toy Major
Enoch B. Garey, president, and *
Dr. James A. Nydegger, former
president of the Alumni Associa
tion.
The proposed reorganization plan v
would Include a reduction of member
ship of the governing body of the Col
lege. and faculty, as well a meas
ures to raise the gcnoral standards
of the institution. , ,•
__ Meeting Joint- Affair *
The meeting was the'Regular quar*
terly gathering of the official board,’
but following a meeting of the Alumni:
Association held in Baltimore Friday
when resolutions touching upon the
proposed regulations were adopted
unanimously, it was decided to tern,
the meeting into a Joint parley. For,
nearly three hours, members of tht*
governing body and alumni dlecuseed
in an informal way various sugges
tions that have been made, to reor
ganize “along more • progressive
lines, ’* as proposed by the alumni.
To Namp Conferees
Judge Robert Moss, chairman of the
official board, and President Garey of
the Alumni Association will name the
ccmmitteos of the respective bodies.
It Is expected this will be done at
an early date, as officials and alumni
i alike, agree that the situation aa re
gards the college has reached an
acute stage, and something must be
doie for its future advancement.
No action was taken looking to
naming a successor to pr. Thomas
Fell, who is filling out his thirty
eighth year as President of'the col
lere. Dr. Fell submitted his resig
ns‘ion twice within the past year.
He wishes to retired from active duty
at the close of the present Collegiate
term in June. The plan la to make
him President-Emeritus, as soon as
a successor can be secured.
Harmony Marked Parley
Yesterday's conference meeting was
marked by a full attendance and a
general spirit of harmony prevailed.
Everyone realizes the serlousneds
of :he situation, and in line with reso
lutions as adopted by the alnmnl, it
is felt that a more modern form of
government should be laid down to
meet the present needs of the col
lege. While it is known that the as
sociation is hot-footedly after ~a
broad plan of re-organization, yet Ma
jor Garey took occasion, in cdoraa
of an address to state that there was
no “bucking” the board as report
