FIRST HARPSICHORD IN ALASKA
IS GIFT TO ALASKA METHODIST U.
The 1962 graduating class of
Alaska Methodist University
presented to the University the
first harpsichord in the State
of Alaska. The gift was shipped
from the Neupert Company of
Neurenberg, Germany, early in
the second semester.
The instrument was to be
played for the first time at the
commencement concert on May
19, but its arrival was delayed
until last week.
The instrument is being

Pessisism is easier than opti

been easier to destroy than

have a right to expect.

stored in the music room on
the third floor of Grant Hall,
where it may bo observed by
interested persons. The four
and one-half octave Palcheb
el instrument is in Baroque
period style and will be used
extensively in future Univer
sity performances of music
from the 17th and l"th cen
turies.
After the development of the
modern piano, the harpsichord
suffered a decline in usage, but
in recent >tars the interest in
Baroque music has increased
tremendously and the desire to
present it in authentic fashion
has led to renewed interest in
the instrument. A Sunday af
ternoon concert of harpsichord
music is at present tentatively
scheduled for October of the
coming school year.

Electronic Equipment
Use Jumps in Slate
Alaska today uses about
twice as much electronic com
munications equipment as it
did three years ago as a Ter
ritory, but the equipment to
day is installed and maintained
by the same number of tech
nicians.
This information is included
in a progress report on the
Division of Communications of
the Alaska Department of
Public Works. The report, re
leased this week, covers the
operation of the communica
tions division from July of
1959 to the present.
The division is one of eight
in the Department of Public
Works under Commissioner
Richard A. Downing. The Di
vision today has ten techni
cians, one of which is its direc
tor, Charles L. Buck. Before
going to work for the State,
Buck was owner-operator of
radio station KLAM in Cor
dova. Prior to that he served
for 13 years with the Alaska
Communications System.
The report shows that when
Alaska became a state, the
division of communications
was responsible only for the
maintenance of a “bush phone”
network providing radio com
munications to 50 otherwise
isolated Alaska communities.
Federal and Territorial agen
cies all took care of their own
communications needs.
Today the Division of Com
munications takes care of the
electronic c o m m u n i c ations
needs of all State agencies.
These radio agency needs have
increased by as much as 300
per cent as in the aase of the
Alaska Department of Fish
and Game. The needs of other
agencies have increased com
mensurately.
One communications innova
tion started by the division
was the establishment of a
teletype system between Ju
neau, Anchorage, Valdez, Fair
banks and Nome. The system,
installed at the request of the
State Highway organization to
provide economical and speedy
:ommunications between its
district headquarters, is used
ay all State agencies. It car
ries about 3,500 messages each
month.
