Department of Psychological
Strategy. As director of the new
board, Gray will divide his time

expected to claim that the presi
dency of the Consolidated Uni

sity will naturally suffer in the
absence of their president.
Opponent i of the bill are ex
pected to i ounter-charge with
claims that tie need of the nation
comes before that of any individ
ual state or institution, and that
Mr. Gray is capable of efficiently
handling both jobs, and that by
delegating minor matters to other
administrative officials of the
University, he will be able to
give all important matters the
attention which they require.

The University has been fre
quently criticized in past years
for its failure to obtain large fi
nancial contributions and dona
tions for its various programs--,5

to continue in this capacity for
the next five years.
Davis was first offered the new
position in January by President
Gordon Gray. At that time he
declined. However upon hearing
Gray's explanation of the "mis
sion of the University," he re
considered and applied to be con
sidered again for the office.
(Gray in his message said that
the mission of the University was
to become "the brain, the nerve
center, the heart, and the con
science and the will of the State."
It is only proper that the school
should do this, he said, because
it is the only institution which
has "the continuity of misson, the
contnuity of obligatory the con
tinuity of opportunity, and the
continuity of capacity to do the
job.")
Upon announcing his decision
to accept the position, Davis said,
