COLUMBIA STUDENTS
‘CRIB,’ SAYS PAPER
-X
Forty-one per cent of the 1931
Columbia University students
who answered a questionaire cir
culated by the campus news
paper, The Spectator, admitted
that they “crib” on examina
tions, the newspaper reported.
Only 3 per cent confessed to
doing it “habitually,” but 38
per cent do “occasionally.” All
replies were signed “as evidence
of good faith” on promise the
names would be held confiden
tial. Fifty-nine per cent said
they did not cheat.
Seventy-five per cent said they
would be willing to pay someone
else to write theses and essays
for them.
If flasks were passed at a
party 227 of the 391 said they
“would take a drink.”
Spectators editors asserted
they believed the results an ac
curate cross-section ol student
opinion.

JUNEAU
The Juneau Business men
have organized a retail associa
tion which will wage systematic
opposition to mail order business
and they will invoke municipal
ordinance against peddlers. The
ordinance fixes a system of
graduating license fees for non
resident house to house solicit
ors. If the retail association will
work as assiduously to enable
resident fishermen and cannery
workers to be gainfully employ
ed, they will not have to worry
so much about mail order busi
ness. The resident fishermen,
which represents the largest pro
blem in Alaska’s labor, follow
the markets where they can get
the most for their small earn
ings—and when their earnings
are large they are more loyal co
resident business.
Harry Race of Ketchikan has

relics were found near the old

OH, TO BE A SAILOR
Longing to become a sailor is
almost as much a part of o
[young boy’s dreams as an ambi
tion to become a locomotive en
gineer or a policeman.
At least Spencer Tracy, the
famous screen star whose latest
Fox comedy, “Goldie,” playing at
the Coliseum Theatre, Tuesday
and Wednesday, maintains that
his chief childhood ambition was
to ship on a tramp steamer and
sail away to see the sights of
this fascinating world of ours.
“I wonder what it would be
like,” he mused, one day while j
he was filming a scene with
Warren Hymer, his pal in
“Goldie,” “to be such a fellow as
‘Bill’ whom I portray in the
picture. Just think of it. Sailing
- -roaming—getting into thrilling
adventures in every port.
“When I was a kid, I always
wanted to go to sea. Now it is too
late; ’ve my family and career to
consider. Guess that is the way
with most of us,” he concluded,
“we put off the things we really
want to do and end up by work- j
i.ng our heads off trying to make
a success in our chosen line.” j
Jean Harlow, filmdom’s most
colorful blonde, portrays the title
role in “Goldie,” which is a saga
of he-man adventure and ro
mancing in five of the world’s
principle ports. Benjamin Stol

DEMOCRATS POLL LARGEST
ALASKA VOTE SINCE 1918
-x
Polling 4,929 votes in the April
26 primary election to 4,173 for
the Republicans, reports from all
but thirty-five of the territorial
precincts revealed that the De
mocratic party received more
votes than the Republicans in an
Alaska election for the first time
since 1918.
The thirty-five precincts, five
[from the second division, twelve
j from the third and eighteen
from the fourth, are in far scat
tered sections of the territory
and political observers said
would report about 1,200 votes
but would change the results of
the election in but one instance
The Democrats polled their
highest vote in the three-corner
ed race for delegate to congress,
won by A. J. Dimond of Valdez.
George Grigsby, a former dele
gate, was 847 votes behind Di
mond and A. H. Ziegler, also of
Ketchikan, followed Grigsby by
160 votes.
Dimond will oppose Delegate
James Wickersham, who was
unopposed for renomination by
the Republicans, in the Novem
ber general elections.
John W. Frame Beaten
James J. Connors, Juneau, was
re-elected Democratic National
Committeeman, defeating John
W. Frame and Richard Hard
castle, both of Ketchikan, by a
wide margin. ,
Edward A. Rasmuson, Cordova,
banker, had an easy time in
winning the post of Republican
National Committeeman, de
feating John T. White, Juneau
merchant, by more than 2 to 1.
I
The Democrats named John
W. Troy and W.-B. Kirk, Juneau;
Harry Morton and Arthur A.
Shonbeck, Anchorage, and
Thomas A. Deal, Fairbanks, as
delegates to the Democratic na
tional convention by large ma
jorities. More returns will be re
quired to decide the contest for
the other position between John
Walmer, Juneau, and M. M.

Heath is uninstructed.
W. H. Chase of Cordova and
Karl Theile won places as dele
gates to the Republican national
convention as Hoover supporters.
Political observers here blam
ed the great increase of Demo
cratic votes because of dlssatis- <
faction with the Republican na- 1
tional administration. It was
estimated that about 40 per cent
of the Indian vote, heretofore
almost solidly Republican, was
swept over to the Democratic
banner.

less in the dumping of garbage

made that some of the truckmen
v/ere not using containers but
dumped the garbage right into

streets. The truckmen are urged
to cooperate in using the most
sanitary method of picking up
and dumping the garbage.
