At the Commencement meeting Miss Delpha Wood was re-elected as
Matron of Manzanita Hall and Director of the Dining Hall and
teacher of Home Economics at $1200 for the year for the combined
service. During the Summer she was married but is available to
continue the Home Economics teaching for which the stipend is
$400. The President recommended that -
a. Mrs. Venstrom be employed as Assistant in Home Economics at
$400 for the year to be paid $40 monthly for 10 consecutive
months, beginning with payment for the month of September,
1933;
b. On recommendation of Dean Mack, that Miss Mary O'Leary be
elected Matron of Manzanita Hall and Superintendent of the
Dining Hall at a cash stipend of $600 for the year, to be
paid $60 per month for 10 consecutive months beginning with
the month of September, plus board and room;
c. Anita Becaas to be paid $50 per semester at the end of each
semester, plus board and room, for Matronship of Artemisia
Hall, the first floor of which will be open.
The above arrangement saves $100 for the year over the Commence-
ment meeting arrangement with Miss Wood.
On motion of Mr. Williams the President's recommendations under
a, b and c above were approved by the following vote:
Judge Brown Aye
Mr. Williams Aye

On motion of Judge Brown, if Mr. Peckham obtained authorization
from the Legislature to purchase the small tract of ground east
of the Carson highway and now a part of the State Farm, which is
of no use whatever to the Farm and is really Mr. Peckham's front
yard, for the sum of $140, then the Regents will deed this par-
ticular strip of ground to Mr. Peckham. Vote:
Judge Brown Aye
Mr. Williams Aye
Mr. Wingfield Aye

Mr. Ross submitted two matters to the President for research and
consideration:
1. That the financial affairs of the Fraternity-Sorority groups
as such should be handled through the Comptroller's office;
2. That greater jurisdiction should be exercised by the Univer-
sity over the social affairs of the respective groups to the
end of securing better scholastic cooperation from the
groups; that unless the group scholarship is maintained at
a certain level to be set by the University, then the group
shall not be permitted to obtain specified dates for social
events. This would operate to deny social privileges, as
hosts, to any group whose scholastic average is low.
Since the 30th of November of this year falls on Thanksgiving
Day, the next meeting was scheduled for December 9, 1933.
