DEAN URGES STATESIDE
STUDENTS ATTEND
ALASKA UNIVERSITY
Students from the United
States who are earning tuition
money this summer in Alaska
could use these funds to the
best advantage by remaining in
the territory and attending the
University of Alaska.
Dr. Neil W. Hosley, univer
sity dean, pointed this out this
week. He stated that tuition and
other costs are lower in many
cases at the University of Alas
ka than at institutions in the
States. Because Alaska’s Univer
sity is a smaller university with
a comparatively large staff of
highly qualified professors, stu
dents received individual atten
tion they cannot obtain in larger
schools.
Dr. Hosley said that another
reason many non-Alaskans are
coming to the “Farthest-North”
university is that the board of
regents authorized the registra
tion of students from Oregon,
Washington, British Columbia
and Yukon Territory on the
same tuition-free basis as for
Alaskan students.
He added that enrollment
from stateside high schools as
fall semester freshmen already
has broken all records. “Short
vacations during the school year
and the resultant early closing
of the University of Alaska give
the institution’s students a real
advantage in obtaining Alaskan
jobs for the summer,” Dean Hos
ley concluded.
