AMU EXPANDS COURSE OFFERINDS
FOR 1962 SUMMER SCHOOL SESSIOH
Expanded course offerings
are being scheduled for the
1963 Alaska Methodist Uni
versity Summer School. The
Summer school, to be held in
Anchorage, will run from June
24 to August 23, and will be
operated cooperatively with
the University of Puget Sound.
Dr. Joseph E. Shafer, Pro
fessor of Economics and Busi
ness Administration, is the Di
rector of this year’s session. He
has been at AMU since the
University opened in 1960. He
was one of the directors of the
1962 summer session.
Dr. Shafer said, “Not only
will there be more courses
offered this year, but the ses
sion will be extended to include
two terms. The first term will
run for six weeks beginning
June 24, the second, from Au
gust 5. The entire nine week
session will run from June 24
to August 23.
"This new arrangement
makes it possible for students
to speed up their undergrad
uate study, completing a Bach
elor of Arts degree in three
years rather than the custo
mary four.”
The course offerings will be
in the liberal arts, including
the Natural Sciences, Human
ities, and Social Sciences. Also
being expanded this year are
the courses in teacher educa
tion. Additional workshops and
courses are designed to suit
the needs of teachers on all
primary and secondary levels.
Both undergraduate and
graduate level credit will be
offered during the 1963 ses
sion.

Fish and Game Board

Eighteen changes in the

nounced.
Only four of these regulations
will affect those hardy anglers
who pursue their sport during
the winter.
The use of fixed hooks or
weighted lure is prohibited in
fresh water, except for those of
standard manufacture. Steel

and ice fisherman throughout
the State should keep this in

changed to 3 fish daily, or in
possession and there is no size

was placed on razor clams in

A Statewide adoption was
made by the Board on smelt

means other than hook and line
and dip net in fresh waters of
the State except the Turnagain
Arm drainages.
In Southeastern Alaska, all
fresh waters are closed to king
salmon sport fishing.
For the Copper River and
Prince William Sound, the
Board adopted the following:
The Susitna River drainage
drainage above the Oshetna
River is now included in the
Copper River area
The 15 hook burbot (fresh
water ling) sport fishery is re
stricted to October 15—May 15.
In the Upper Copper River

jacent to Valdez and Whittier,
the dolly varden limit is now
20 fish.
In Kenai and Cook Inlet,
these adoptions were made by
the Board:
The Crooked River salmon
fishing closure has been incras
ed to March 31 — August 15.
The Stariski Creek salmon
fishing closure has been reduc

DISPUTED CLAIMS
HEARINGS NEXT MONTH
Labor Commissioner G i 1
Johnson has announced that

STATE NEEDS CIVIL ENGINEERS
The biggest highway con
struction year in the history
of the state coming up next
year, combined with a stand
ing shortage of qualified engi
neering personnel, has created
a critical demand for trained
civil engineers, John Mechling,
Department of Highways per
sonnel officer, said this week.
The department has been
searching for trained person
nel throughout Alaska for a
year, offering direct inter
views with the district highway
engineers, he said, but appar
ently there are few unem
ployed civil engineers in Alas
ka. Mechling urged anyone
who is qualified to fill an en
gineering position with the de
partment to contact the State
Employment Office or highway
office nearest them.
Next year the highway de
partment will have approxi
mately $70,000,000 worth of
road construction under con
tract- This accelerated pro
gram has created the urgency,
Mechling said, leaving more
than 200 engineering vacancies,
ranging from recent graduates
to high level design and super
visory positions.
“With this expanded high
way program, rapid advance
ment creates jobs at all levels.”
