Univ. of Alaska
Celebrates 100th
Land Grant Year
This week the University ol
Alaska in Fairbanks is cele
brating the 100th anniversary
of the Land Grant College Act
also known as the Morrill Acl
of July 2, 1862.
Under this Act, the Univer
sity has received title to almosl
75,000 acres of public land, ac
cording to Roger R. Robinson.
State Director for the U. S
Bureau of Land Management.
An additional 25,000 acres will
be transferred from BLM to the
University as soon as new sur
veys and selections are com
pleted, Robinson said. The Uni
versity derives income from
these land grants to promote
its development.
Thirty-eight years ago, this
“Farthest-North University”—
then called the Alaska Agricul
ture College and School of
Mines — had an enrollment of
only 59 students. Today, first
semester enrollment comes to
983 students, with 29 interna
tional students.
President of the University of
Alaska, William R. Wood,
points out that, like other land
grant institutions, the Univer
sity faces pressures of increas
ing costs and the “population
boom.” Despite these increases,
costs for resident students who
live on campus remain well
below the average total paid at
the majority of State univer
sities.
As a result of the Land Grant
College Act signed into law 100
years ago by President Lincoln,
68 schools have been establish
ed with grants of public lands
totaling more than 11 million
acres. Today, 20 percent of all
college students attend land
grant institutions. These col
leges and universities issue 40
percent of the doctorate degrees
in all subjects.
Other by-products of land
grant college research range
from the first cyclotron to
streptomysin, hybrid corn, di
coumarol, and special food for
spacemen.
PRODUCTION OF
REINDEER MEAT
EXCEEDS BEEF, PORK
Alaska’s production of rein
deer tneat from Nunivak Islanc
totaled 485,000 pounds during
1961 while the state’s beef pro
duction was only 309,00(
pounds, according to the 1961
annual report of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture’s Sta
tistical Reporting Service. Also
pork production was 135,00(
pounds, according to the report
Total value of Alaska farrr
production during the year was
estimated to be $5,703,000. Milk
production comprised 43 pei
cent of the total, potatoes 14
per cent and eggs 8 per cent
About a quarter of the total
production was used by farm
families.

MEA PERSONNEL ESCAPE INJURY WHEN
PLANE IS DAMAGED IN LANDING
A routine flight of MEA en
gineers surveying the poten
tial for power development in
the Kuskokwim river area be
came very non-routine before
the flight ended. The Matan
uska Electric Assn, personnel
in the new Cessna 185 located
a downed pilot in response to
a “mayday” call and then nar
rowly missed a bad crackup
while landing at the McGrath
airport.
Temporary repairs were
completed this week after Fed
eral Aviation officials had in
spected the plane for indica
tions of mechanical failure, and
Mason LaZelle, the pilot and
general manager of MEA.
brought the plane back from
McGrath.
I LaZelle said John Shaw,
MEA atttorney ''ieeis that re
I coverv of damages may be pos
I sible, since the.accident repre
j sents a well documented case
of equipment failure.”
Fortunately nc one was in
■ jured in the accident. The pro
peller, one wing and the under
, body of the plane were damag
' ed, but permanent repairs
should be completed in a few
days. LaZelle said
With LaZelle a- pilot. Wil
lard Johnson, MEA chief en
gineer, and Jim Hulbert, MEA
| office engineer, left Palmer
June 20 for Anchorage to pick
' up M. S. Umbenhauer, consult
ing engineer with the Ralph H.
: Parsons Co. They were accom
I ied by Mrs. Dale Spanogle
whose husband is employed in
the McGrath area.
When the plane was landing
at Anchorage considerable tail
wheel vibration was noted by
the pilot. LaZelle had Alaska
Aeronautical, Cessna distribu
! tor, inspect the wheel assembly,
and the tail control springs
j were replaced.
Shortly after take-off from
Baha'i Faith Observes
112th Anniversary
Local members of the Baha’i
World Faith will observe the
112th anniversary of the mar
tyrdom of the Bab, prophet
herald of their faith, at the
home of Mrs. Marie Guffey,
Plumley road, at 1 o'clock Mon
day afternoon, July 9. Don Van
Brunt, of Anchorage, will speak
at the informal discussion and
interested persons are invited
i to attend. Mr. Van Brunt has
j just returned from Baha'i sum
I mer school in Juneau.
Mrs. Guffey, secretary of the
; local Baha’i community, says
j this observance is one of 8,000
that will take place around the
i world. Its significance is sim
i ilar to the observance of the
j anniversary of the Crucifixion
of Christ. In many ways the
Martyrdom of the Bab paral
leled the Crucifixion.
The Bab (meaning the Gate
of God) was executed at high
noon on July 9, 1850, Tabriz,
Persia, and over 10,000 of His
followers were slain. Like
Christ, the Bab, starting in
1844, had proclaimed a new
code of reUjgftty|rfbnv, and by
precept attrf eiRu^ple instituted
a profound moral and spiritual
reform.

The Frontiersman
Phone PI 5-3550
Anchorage, the tower radioed
the MEA plane that a “may
( day” signal had been received,
I and asked them to watch for
the plane believed down in the
area of the MEA flight route.
The MEA people spotted the
other Cessna, which had made
a forced landing in the trees
near Goose Bay that morning.
LaZelle gave the Anchorage
tower and the Air Force Res
cue Coordination unit the loca
tion, then continued the flight
to McGrath when he was no
tified the rescue helicopter
was on its way.
During the landing run at
McGrath the same tail wheel
vibration developed, and then
a gusty cross wind hit as the
plane was partway down the
runway. LaZelle explained that
inspection later determined
that the tail wheel s! p spring
was broken on one end, allow
ing the wheel to swivel freely
in a counter-clockwise direc
tion. The wheel did not lock
against the sideward thrust of
the gusting cross wind.
LaZelle held the aircraft
against a ground loop with the
left brake and rudder, but side
wise pressure on the left tube
less tire caused the tire to roll
away from its rim and go flat.
When the rim of the wheel dug
into the pavement, the left
landing gear broke off. The
damage to the under-body and
the left wing resulted from the
collapse of the landing gear.
A The plane was left at the Mc
Grath field for the FAA inspec
tion. The official report of the
accident will be released in a
few weeks.
