Plans To Explain
The Fish and Wildl'fe Service plan a series of releases
in the near future regarding the administration of the depart
ment in the “field” and in the various offices throughout the
territory.
In a recent letter to the MIRROR from Clarence J.
Rhode, regional director for the FWS, stated: “You have un
doubtedly noticed this Service has been subjected to every
manner of politically-inspired attack during recent months. . .
aside from the national pist m * of taking a poke at all govern
ment agencies, som * grou js have. . . determined the the best
way to achieve political aims such as immediate Statehood or
transfer of the Fisheries to Territorial controls is to belittle
the present agency responsible for the job.”
Rhode goes on to explain that the FWS expects criti-|
cism as aa indication of an alert public but he deplores “public
acceptance of derogatory statements which are a result of
charges made on a political basis.”
One section of his letter said: “A little reflection will
point up. the impossibility of pleasing ail segments of a com
plicated industry such as Alaska’s fisheries. So long as their
exists more than one type of fishing gear we c in expect 'o tter
fueding between them. . . arguments brew between rival fish
ing unions . . . between commercial and recreational interests.
He added that the FWS would answer in the columns of
any Alaskan newspaper letters of inquiry and challenge.
We can understand Mr. Rhode’s problem easily. Any
editor of any newspaper, whether he be in Alaska, the U. S.
or Timbucto, knows that you can’t please everyone regardless
how you write the story or run your government department, j
Our advice is don’t try to please everyone. “Call ’em as.
you see em” and keep on doing the same good job you and|
your men have been doing. J

| For Students
I The transportation for Alas
kan High School students go
ing to the Univert-ity of
j Alaska will be prov dad by the
University, President Moore
announc id this week.
Beginning next September,
every Aiaskan High School
graduate will be entitled to
this beneiit.
In recent years the Alaska
Steamship Company and the
Alaska Railroad have made a
round trip ticket available for
the price of one way to U. of
A. students. The student buys
a one way ticket but keeps
the receipt. After the student
has been at the university for
at least up to Christmas he is
entitled to go to the Registar
and get his original receipt
stamped by that office. This is
then presented to the rail or
steam-hip company who honor
it for a return passage.
The new plan will work ex
actly the same except that in
addition the student will be
entitled to take his receipt
into the Comptroller’s office
and receive credit at the end
of the year against payment
of April and May bills due the
university.
