Convention

that does.
“Iif we leave it to the whim
— the whim, mind you — of
the legislature, confusion, al
most anarchy, would result. It
would be like the English sys

“This is the beginning,” con
tinued Heiknth'al “If this car

seek to throw everything to
the will of the legislature.”
'Seaborn Buokelew, Anchor

let’s adjourn now and present
to Alaskans a blank piece o!
paper.”

SEASON FOR UPSETS
IN BASKETBALL

The Sam Francisco Dons,
winners of 29 straight 'games
and the nation’s (No. 1 ranked
college basketball team may be
headed straight into a Mar

SKI TEAM WORKS OUT
IN HOT BATHS
WALLA WALLA (JP) A bit
more than slightly spartan is
the training regime of 22 skiers
who are tougheninjg up for the
Olympic trials alt nearby Spout
Springs, Ore., in the snow ohok
ed Blue Mountains.
Part of the tougbening-uip
process- is a steam bath — an
idea pilfered from the Finns
and Norwegians. The athletes
get themselves well cooked in
the steam hut (the Finnish
word is “sauna”) and then dash
out to roll — nude — in the
snow.
If the 22 survive this and the
long hours on i he trail's and
the jumping hilll they will start
competing next week for the 6
places on the U. S. “nordiic com
bined” team. Two jumping
trials and three cross-country
races will decide JJhe team
make-up.
The select group of trainees
was collected from all over the
United States and one came
from Alaska. The Alaskan, in
fact, >is one of the favorites —
a transplanted Swede who now
makes his home at Anchorage.
He is Sven Jobannson. an Am
erican citizen of six months
standing. Sven has dominated
western cross-country skiing
since he arrived five and a half
years algo.
T£e seasoned veterans such
as Johabnsom will toe favored
to graib off the six pfllaces and
represent 'this country in i‘he
Winter Olympics next month

1. A formal request that the

to the assemibly where the .pack

might repeal, its recommenda

2. Calling of an “interim” as
