Rivers Supports
Civil Rights Bill
U. S. Representative Ralph .T.
Rivers (D., Alaska) today announc
ed that he was the 22nd Congress
man to sign the discharge petition
which would take the civil rights
bill out of the hands of the rules
committee.
Two hundred and eighteen Con
gressmen are needed to get the
bill to the House floor for a vote.
More than 130 Congressmen
have signed the petition. The ocas
sion for the discharge is that Rep.
Howard Smith of Virginia, chair
man of the House rules committee
has refused to grant any action on
the civil rights bill this year, ac
cording to Congressman Rivers.
To Eliminate
Non-Resident
Tuition Fees
Graduating Alaska high school
students soon will be able to en
joy the benefits of specialized
training offered at various West
ern public colleges and universities
without payment of non-resident
tuition fees, Governor William A.
Egan said today.
The opportunity will be made
available, starting in the fall of
1964, under a new plan brought
into being by the Western Inter
state Commission for Higher Ed
ucation (WICHE).
Under the program, participat
ing schools will permit out-of-state
students to enroll at resident or
instate tuition in selected courses
and programs which may have va
cancies. The plan will be applicable
to both undergraduate and gradu
ate levels.
Purpose of the program not only
is to offer increased education op
portunities to young people of the
13 Western states but also to re
duce over-all educational costs by
sharing unique and often expensive
facilities among the states.
Alaska, with a growth rate of
150.9 ranks second only to Nevada
in school population growth.
