TWO ALASKA UNIVERSITIES
ALLOCATED $42,396 FOR
STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM
WASHINGTON Ufl — The fed
eral government has allocated $42,
396 to two Alaska universities
since the start of the Student Loan
Program.
The Office of Education reports
that through last June 30, the
schools received $28,597 from the
federal government and put up
$3,669 of their own.
During that period 68 students
borrowed $26,732 from the funds.
In the 1960-61 academic year 35
students borrowed $15,357.
The allocation for the current
academic year makes up the bal
ance of the $42,396 total figures
on the loans made in the current
year not yet available.
The Office of Education listed
these federal allocations to the
Alaska schools from 1959 through
the year ending next June 30:
Alaska Methodist University, An
tchorage, $5,310, and University of
Alaska, College, $37,086.
The program is designed to help
students get a college education.
They are required to begin repay
ment one year after completing
college work but may pay off over
a 10-year period at 3 per cent in
terest. Repayment and interest go
back into the college loan funds for
further lending.
To encourage teaching careers,
the program also provides for 10
per cent cancellation of the loan
principal for each year of teaching
service up to 50 per cent of the
loan principal.

MONDAY — DOROTHY'S
STRIKING N.Y. TEACHERS
RETURN TO CLASSROOMS
NEW YORK — The thousands
of public school teachers who
struck Wednesday for higher pay
returned to their classrooms yes
terday in response to a court order
and union instructions.
Also back at their desks were
the city’s one million public school
children, some of whom had run
riot during the walkout for lack
of classroom supervision.
Operation of the school system
appeared virtually normal in spot
checks after the starting bells had
clanged.
The outcome of the strike still
was inconclusive.
How far the city will go in meet
ing the teachers pay demands has
not been settled.
The city’s teachers now earn
from $4,800 to $8,600 a year, plus
bonuses for many. In negotiations
tha broke down this week, the
union sought a range of from
$5,400 to $9,500, plus bonuses —
raises that would have amounted
to $53 million for the next fiscal
year. _ . £
The city claimed it could scrape
up no more than $28 million.

Legislature Closes Up Shop After 81
Often Hectic and Frustrating Days
By Ward Sims
JUNEAU Ufl — The 1962 legis
lature, after 81 hectic and oft-times
frustrating days of work and
wrangle, closed up shop early
Thursday.
House Speaker Warren Taylor
gaveled the House into adjourn
ment at 1:10 a.m. and Senate Pres
ident Frank Peratrovich adjourned
the upper chamber sine die two
minutes later.
The second session of the second
legislature will go down as one of
Alaska’s stormiest sessions, a ses
sion marked from the very outset
by the partisian fights of an elec
tion year.
It was the session of Sherard, of
supplemental, of highways, of
politics and of a record appropri
ation bill for fiscal 1963 amount
ing to $69,432,198, compared with
$55,734,040 for the current fiscal
year.
Supplemental approp nations
played a key role in the 91 days
the members of the Joint Finance
Committee worked — they started
on the spending bill 10 days before
the legislature went into session.
Constantly Interrupted
Their work on the appropriation
bill was constantly interrupted by
required consideration of supple
ments.
There was a supplemental re
quest for $4,008,333 for highway
maintenance and construction sent
down by Gov. Egan, a supplement
al request preceded by Egan’s firing
of State Highways Chief Thurman
Sherard and a Senate decision to
investigate the entire road pro
gram.
Sherard was replaced by Sam
Johnson — who later resigned him
self — and the Senate Highways
for a month, two hours a night,
four nights a week.
The day before the seven-man
committee was scheduled to issue
its report, recommending that the
Division of Highways be made a
separate department of state gov
ernment, Egan beat the legislature
to the punch and established just
such a department by executive
order.
The supplemental highways ap
I propriation finally came out of the
[legislature slightly flower than!
| Egan’s figure, at $3,963,298, byt
another supplemental went in, for
highways administrator, to the
tune of $217,490.
The latter bill was the last bill
approved by the legislature before
it adjourned yesterday. It was
acted on following approval of yet
another supplemental, $150,000 for
the rural development, disaster and
depressed area program.
By unofficial count, the legisla
ture had passed up to the gover
nor’s office, before it adjourned,
supplemental totaling $7,712,565.91
in addition to the general appropri
ations bill.
Egan, in his state of state mes
sage, implored the lawmakers to
forget their political differences
during the 1962 session and to
place political ammunition in

storage until adjournment.
Egan’s plea, made on the second
day of the legislature, came one
day too late.
Blame Administration Failures
On the opening day of the ses
sion, GOP leaders had issued a
statement saying the $4 million
supplemental request for highways
was the result of administration
failures.
The battle was joined and so it
went through the session, ending
with written Republican charges
and Democratic counter-charges of
deliberate delay on the 80th day
of the session and heated verbal
argument up to within bare mo
ments of adjournment.
One of the hottest items of dis
pute was a pair of Senate bills,
sponsored by 12 of the 13 Demo
crats in the upper chamber, which
called for a supplemental appropri
ation of $200,000 for the depressed
area program during the current
fiscal year and $500,000 for fiscal
1963.
Republicans labeled the $700,000
an election year slush fund for
the Democrats and argued that
Egan did not seem to think the
additional funds necessary, because
he had not asked for a supplement
al and had asked only for $200,000
for fiscal 1963.
As it turned out, the legislature
okayed $150,000 for the current
fiscal year and boosted Egan’s
request for fiscal 1963 by $150,000,
to a total of $350,000.
Approve GO Bonding Issues
The lawmakers also approved
slightly altered versions of three
rramAViAl -i rtn. An V\av% rlmn
posals, requested by Egan, to pro
vide capital construction funds for
state-operated schools, trunk air
ports and improvements at the
Univerity of Alaska. The proposals,
which will appear on the fall
election ballot, total $15,125,000.
They also passed an administra
tion bill which will set m motion
a new formula for state aid to
incorporated school districts, and
another creating a new major State
Department of Economic Develop
ment and Planning.
liberalized legislation for the
working man, which was denied
the governor last year, won early
approval by the lawmakers.
One of the bills sets the stats
minimum hourly wage at 50 cents
above the prevailing federal mini
mum wage. The other extends th<
overtime provisions of the Stats
Wages and Hours Act to a wid<
number of employes.
Two labor bills Egan did no
get involved in, increased max
imum weekly benefit amount!
under the Employment Security
Act and an increase in the duratioi
of the benefit period, from 20 t<
28 weeks. i
