ALASKA DAY NOTES
by Mary Frances Hall
From all reports Sitka’s Com
muniity Fair was a grand suc
cess; and if the amount of work
and planning that each indivi
dual put into it could have
been judged, many Sitka citi
zens would be wearing blue rib
bons for their prize efforts.
Congratulations to all who
were responsible for making it
such a fine fair.
Now for Alaska Day, the
grandest and most colossal of
all Sitka’s productions. There
should be a cast of thousands
and we know that mlany of you
will play a starring role. The
producers and directors of this
festival promise many features
of special interest to everyone
from children to adults, and
what is best of all the audience
participates in the whole pan
orama. Although the theme of
the Alaska Day Festival is bas
ed on historical fact, you may
be sure there will be plenty of
comedy and s ome realistic
touches of drama.
So let’s all prepare for this
grand festival. On with the
costumes; on with the beards;
on with the show!

RADIO EDUCATION
[IN ACTION
(an SJJC release)
Comimun/ication is a vital and
necessary force in the expand
ing nature of Alaska’s develop
ment. Schools in Alaska for
years have considered the writ
ten word as the basic method
of communication. This fall
semester, without a fanfare of
trumpets, Sheldon Jackson Jun
ior College began the second
phase of communication eduoa
tion — the spoken word via
radio.
A 9m!all class of Junior Col
lege students are busily at
work preparing, announcing,
engineering and airing College
Concert every evening over
KlSEW. The students have the
use of a modern, well equipped
250 watt station, KSEW, looat-,
ed on the campus of Sheldon ■
Jackson. In addition to the sta
tion, the college has a record
ing studio in Richard Allen Me
morial Hall. The recording
studio consists of a 9tudio and (
an adjoining control room that
overlooks the auditorium stage
The department has the latest
tape recording, turntable, con
trol and microphone equipment
available.
The head of the Radio depart
ment, Hendrick Van Dyke,
manager of KSEW, announced
that as the class expands more
and more of KSEW’s programs
will be handled by college stud
ents. Mr. Van Dyke said, “The
course that we are presenting
here is a blend of radio broad
casting theory with the practi
cal laboratory work of actual
broadcasting. Each student
will became laminar wmi
business phase of a radio sta
tion as well as programming,
continuity writing, engineering
and broadcasting.
Vivian Paddock, of Pelican,
who came into the class to spe
oialize in the business work of
radio, finds herself preparing;
ro go on the air with a daily j
women’s program. Such train-;
ing, aside from preparing the
student to obtain employment
in radio work, gives them the
broader view of communication
in the world today.
KISE'W, which as an associate
member of the Associated
Press, has teletype service, is
as well well equipped as any
similar 250 watt transmitter
anywhere in the states. The re
cording studio designed by Mir.
Van Dyike, is a large sound
treated room, well lighted, one
wall having floor to ceiling
sound absorbent drapes, and
finished in a color combination
of forest green and yellow sun
liijghlt. The result is a studio
that is technically efficient and
yet a place of beauity.
I After 78 years of educational
[service to Alaskan residents
I Sheldon Jackson has accom
plished another “first.” The
first Junior College in Alaska
to present a curriculum in radio
from it’s own studio and trans
milt ter facilities.

director, Bureau- of Land Man

The type of scrip that is us
ed in Alaska was issued to Un

War and is known as the Sol

Pudkett said there is no ac
curate way of estimating how
much unused scrip is still float
ing around but that it is con
siderable. The new BLM law
requires that following trans
fer or assignment of the scrip
from one person to «another,
the peron to whom the assign
ment is made must notify the
director, Bureau of Land Man
agement, within 6 months of
such transfer.
SPORTS TRAIL
Old Professor — Well, it’s
better to be overrated than not
rated, I would say. You don’t
seem happy, Mr. Barclay.
George Barclay, North Car
olina — I’m not happy that we
lost, professor, but I’m proud
of my kids’ playing such a
great game against one of the1
nation’s finest teams. We’ve
got our quarterback situation
licked. Buddy Sasser and Dave
Reed both are okay.
Bud Wilkerson. Oklahoma—
North Carolina played well
and almost upset us. Our de
fense was good. Our offense
steadied in the last half after
losing its poise in the first. We
think our two backifields will
imorove with seasoning.
Old Frofesor — Nothing like
a little spice to make it pala
talbie, is there? Oh, well, let it
go. Mr. Saunders, you look like
you had just seen the Grand
Canyon for the first time.
Red Sanders, UCLA — Pro
fessor, Maryland was great
majestic, one of the truly great
football teams of our era.
Would we like to play 'em a
gain on a dry field? I don’t
think we’d like to play ’em a
g/ain on any kind of a field.
The slippery footing did hurt
our reverse play, which has j
been our best ground gainer.
Jim Tatum, Maryland —;
UCLA has a great football team j
We had better tackles and quar :
terlback Frank Tamfburello had!
more experience this year than •
when they beat us last year. I

thought they’d score quite a
bit and that we would too.
Old Professor — Mr. War
math, how do they divide uip a
big store?
Murray Wanmath, Minnesota
— Into departments, and we
were completely outplayed by
Washington in every depart
ment. We didn’t look like a
football team' except for about
five minutes.
John Gherlberg, Washington
— I’m not a miracle man, prof
essor. We just knew the cluib
would catch fire some day and
it was Minnesota’s misfortune
to catch us on that day. It was
the best game a team ever play
ed for me.
Old Professor — Maybe you
just lit the fire. Arson is gain
st the law, you know.
Paul Dietz el, Louisiana State
— Speaking of being outplayed
in every department, we were:
too, professor. Texas Aggies did;
to us wlat we did to Kentucky
a week ago. But our boys nev
er quit trying.
Paul Bryant, Texas Aggies—
We hit with authority. I tho-;
ught the boys all played a great'
game. Aggressiveness made up
for our mistakes. Everybody
looked good to me. After all, j
LSU didn’t score.
Old Professor — Mr. Bren
nan, what are you doing with
that bottle of medicine? I
Terry Brennan, Notre Darn*
— It’s a fall tonic, professor,
and the best tonic in the world
lor an inexperienced team is
to win its first game. It was a
terrific team victory with our
small men up front fighting
their hearts out. We’re still
thin and lack depth, and could
be seriously h/urt by injuries.
I’m happy, buit we stal hav«
nine tough ones to go.
Woody Woodard, Southern
Methodist — Professor, after
the lesson learned from Notre
Dame we will have lots of home
work to do before we meet Geo
rgia Tech. I was proud of the
fine game played by John
Roach, our senior quarterback
Don’t be too sure this is a re
building year at Notre Dame.
Mr. Brennan has his boys play
ing an alert, aggressive type of
football and his team will be
tough to beat. I think the 1955
team blocked better against
us than did the great 1954 team
We just made too many errors,
that’s all.
Old Professor — To err is
human, I understand, but I
guess there is such a thin(g> as
being too human. Anyway, I
erred on the time. Our time is
uip. I’ll see you next week.
Don't touch those glasses as
you pass out. If you do, you
really will pass out. Good day,
[entlemen.
