Sweeping Changes at U. of Alaska to
Affect Public Relations and Agriculture
COLLEGE—In response to en
quiry, Dr. Terris Moore, Presi
dent of the University of Alaska
announced today that the princi
pal changes being made in the
University’s organization for next
year were to be: (1) in public re
lations and (2) in agriculture.
“The sweeping change in the
University’s public relations pro
gram is being made as a, part of
the process of balancing the Uni
versity’s budget for next year.
$4,800 of retainer fee salary in
Public Relations and $1100 of re
lated travel expense have been
completely eliminated. Also one
half of a faculty members’ salary
and time, in the English depart
ment, who had. been assisting in
public relations work was also
removed from the budget at the
recent Regents meeting. The
elimination of these three items
will total about $9000. And now
an entirely new direction will be
taken along the lines of a very
excellent and constructive letter
received by the Regents from the
Alumni Association through their
Territorial President, Mr. John
J. O’Shea.
Advocate 12 Regents
“Ordered spread upon the Reg
ents’ Minutes, and thus made pub
lic property, this letter urges five
principal new developments:
Number one, that the Board of
Regents be increased from eight
to 12 members. This proposal is
a matter for the next Legisla
ture, being of course entirely be
yond the authority of anyone at
» the University. Numbers (2) and
(3) make a number of specific
suggestions for bringing the Uni
versity more closely to the at

tention of high school students
and the Alaskan public generally
through intensified efforts of
Regents, administrative officers,
faculty and Alumni.
“Number (4) urges the revival
of the Farthest North Collegian as
a monthly newspaper to be pub
lished by th^ University adminis
tration. With the funds coming
from $9000 of savings just men
tioned the University expects to
revive the Collegian as a news
paper either monthly or quarterly
as funds permit. The former
newspaper format will be used in \
a Thirtieth Anniversary Com
memorative issue to appear the
beginning of this coming school
year in September. Dean William
R. Cashen will be principal advis-1
or in the revival of the Collegian,
and other aspects of the new
public relations program recom
mended by the Alumni. The Fifth
suggestion in the Alumni letter
has to do with keeping the Alum
ni more fully informed of Univer
sity long range planning of
budget requests made to the
Legislature, etc. It is believed
that revival of the Collegian on
the new basis will now make this
! possible in the very manner the
Alumni suggest.
Changes in Ag.
"The details of the proposed re
I organization of the University’s
: work in agriculture under Dr.
j Allan Mick as Dean are still be
! ing examined in discussion with
the Secretary of Agriculture’s
office and various individuals and
organizations concerned in Alas
ka. What we are trying to do is
for the first time give students of
the University of Alaska, qualif
ied teachers not merely in agri
culture,’ but specifically, in Agro
nomy, Animal Husbandry, Agri
cultural Economics, Agricultural
I Engineering, Entomology. Horti
culture. Pathology, and Soil
Science. This is what is offered
at the other Land-Grant colleges
and universities. But we do not
have the funds and do not feel
justified in asking the Legisla
ture and Congress for the great
increased money necessary to
provide duplicate sets of experts
in each of these eight basic sub
i jects in both the Faculty and the
Experiment Stations. Instead we
! are trying to reassign work to a
| single set of specialists in the
! -;ight basic fields in such a way
