FREE-FARE STATUS
UNCHANGED
The recent decision of Alaska
Steamship Company to discon- i
tinue issuance of roundtrip tick-j
ets for the price of one way to
University students will not
change the situation prevailing in
the past for Alaskan High School
graduates, it was announced by
President Moore of the Univer
sity.
Under the University's new pro
gram, one half of commercial
transportation (except charter) j
for graduates of Alaska’ high
schools who go as bona fide stu
dents to the University, will be
provided by the University.
To qualify the student must
purchase a one way ticket and
retain the receipt. This receipt
when deposited with the Univer
sity comptroller may be used to
defray expenses in the amount of
the ticket purchase, toward the
payment of University bills dur
ing the last month of the school
year. ]
In case of transportation by i
the Alaska Railroad, students will
also get a free return trip upon
presentation of this same receipt
duly stamped by the Registrar of
the University as evidence of hav
ing been in residence at the Uni
versity.
