BY CATHOLIC U.
Minor Changes Under New
Constitution Are Ex
plained by Officials.
Rumors of an extensive shake-up in
the administrative personnel at
Catholic University were denied today
by officials of the institution.
They explained the university's new
constitution, adopted at a meeting of
the board of trustees last Thursday,
necessitated effecting certain econo
mies in the administration's work.
The rumors apparently started fol
lowing the change whereby the duties
of J. Harvey Cain, assistant treasurer,
were taken over by Rev. Joseph N. La
Rue, w’ho was confirmed as the new
procurator of the university by the
board at its meeting.
Right Rev. Joseph M. Corrigan, rec
tor of the institution, issued the fol
lowing statement.:
"The new constitution of the uni
versity requires that the procurator
of the university shall be a priest when
one can be had with the proper quali
fications. Under the new constitution
also the procurator takes over the
duties of the assistant treasurer. It
was with great regret that a change
was necessary, particularly in view' of
Mr. Cain's long and faithful service
to the university, but the change has
been made under arrangements satis
factory to both parties.”
Joseph M. Murphy, director of public
relations, said the new constitution ne
cessitated adoption of a "definite poli
cy of retrenchment.” but he empha
sized only a few other cases, all of
them minor in character, had been or
would be made in the administrative
personnel He said the school is simply
trying to balance its budget.
Father La Rue has been at the uni
versity since last December. Right
Rev. David T. O’Dwyer, who is di
rector of the shrine, has been serving
as procurator, but found he did not
have adequate time to handle both
jobs.
