The monthly meeting of the Board
of Regents for January begins today.
There are quite a number of import-
ant matters to come up for action at
this usmeeting, more so than there li-ive
been for some time and it is probable
that there will he some interesting
sessions before an adjournment is
taken.
The first thing that will be in order
will be the reorganization of the board
for the present year, and new commit-

Tery respectfully,
This attempt to steal advertising
rightfully belonging to the Technic
did not meet with complete ssceess,
however, as several pages of advesrtis-
tng secured in this contemptible man-
ner were given up to the Technic
board. This was necessary to avoid
an exposure after the Technic was
informed by a prospective advertiser
of the existence of this "official sou-
venir."
