4 Scholarship Awards
The Scholarship Committee of
the University of Alaska is hap
py to announce the awarding of
three Standard Oil Scholarships
of $500.00 each and one grant in
journalism.
George Guilsher, a senior in
Arts and Letters with a major in
Anthropology, came to the Uni
versity from West Cornwall, Con
necticut. During the last school
year George maintained a scho
lastic average of straight A in a
full time schedule of courses, al
though he had a full time job in
addition. George won the schoar
ship awarded to a member of the
senior class.
Anna Mueller, a graduate, of
Nenana High School, won the a
ward to a member of the junior
class having attained a B plus
average for all her college work.
Anna is a junior in Business Ad
ministration.
Lorenzo B a y 1 e s s Anderson
transferred from Brigham Young
University of Utah to the Depart -
ment of Agriculture at the Uni
versity of Alaska. He has main
tained a B plus average in all his
work here and in the credits
transferred. Lorenzo makes his
home in the College community
with his wife and small son.
The freshman award will be
made to a member of that class
after the six-weeks grades have
-been turned in to the Office of
ne Registrar at the end of Octo
er and the Scholarship Commit
e has had an oppurtunity of e
iluating the records attained by
eshman applicants.
A grant of $300, to James E.
oody of Fairbanks, was made
tssible by the will of Annie
rmstrong Hall, wife of a former
overnor of Alaska. This sum of
.loney was left to the University
to give as a grant to "a deserving
student, or students, pursuing or
desiring to pursue courses in or
leading to journalism.” It was
the unanimous vote of the com
mittee that this money should
go to James E. Moody for his
outstanding work in journalism.
He took over the editorship of
the Polar Star, the campus paper,
at a time when others refused be
cause of the pressure of school
work and worked hard and long
to make the paper a success. In
addition, he managed to maintain
a high level of scholarship in his
freshman studies in the Depart
ment of Arts and Letters.
[Evacuation Policy for
Territory Set by
Civil Defense Council
Establishment of a policy on
evacuation was one of the most
I important accomplishments of the
! first meeting of the Territorial
i Council of Civil Defense held in
j the offices of Governor Gruening
(in Juneau July 31.
It was decided that evacuation
of the civilian population will be
undertaken only if and when an
invasion becomes imminent: that
any movement prior to that time
be undertaken by individuals
only, using normal transporta
tion. In the event that such move
ment of the civilian population
becomes so great as to tax facil
ities, Civil Defense may set up
j measures to establish priorities
' and may take steps to increase
1 existing transportation.
j This policy was adopted after it
I was pointed out that people in
| Alaska would be in no more
! danger from bombings than they
j would in certain cities in the
States, to v’hich they might be
evacuated.
Members of the Territorial Civ
il Defense Council are Governor
Gruening, Col. J. D. Alexander,
the acting Adjutant General;
Frank Metcalf, Territorial High
way Engineer; Tony Schwamm,
Director of Aeronautics; Dr. C. E.
! Albrecht, Commissioner of Public
PALMASILLA CLUB TO HAVE
CONCESSION BOOTH AT FAIR
At the regular meeting of the
Palmasilla Homemaker’s Club,
held August 7th. at the home of
Frances Blom. members decided
to undertake the operation of the
fair booth which the Homemak
ers’ Council operated last year.
This decision came as a result
of the Fair Board’s request that
such a booth be operated, and
club-members extend an invita
tion to anyone in the Valley who
has anything to sell to bring it to
this booth. Five percent will go
to the Fair Board, ten percent
will be retained by the club, and
the remaining 85% will be the
owner’s profit. Members of the
Club wish it to be understood
that for the benefit of the public,
articles will be reasonably priced,
and that final decision concerning
the price of any item must rest
with the committee in charge.
The booth will be operating all
three days of the Fair, from mor
ning until night and Club mem
bers hope a continuous supply of
articles, from handicraft work to
farm produce, from canned goods
to family pets, will pass through
the booth each day.
From the profits resulting from
the sale, the Palmasilla Club
hopes to raise funds sufficient to
fill their quota of the $1,000
Health; and Tom Dyer, member
at large.
