PROPOSED PLAN WOULD INTEGRATE AGRICULTURAL
TEACHING. RESEARCH, AND EXTENSION IN ALASKA
Dr. Allan H. Mick. Soil Scient
ist with the Alaska Agricultural
Experiment Station- is spending
several days with University of
ficials discussing a plan to co
ordinate all agricultural acivities
in the Territory. A tentative pro
posal under consideration calls
for full integration of teaching,
extension and research staffs into
a single unified program under
an overall Dean of Agriculture.
Among the advantage of this
proposed program. Dr. Moore
states one of the most important
is that it will make available the
services of part-time specialists
for teaching the agricultural cur
riculum at the University. When
this plan takes effect, the agricul
tural courses will all be taught
by specialists in each field, in
cluding agronomy, animal hus
bandry. horticulture, soil science
agricultural engineering, agricul
tural economics, plant pathology,
and entomology. Under this plan
it may prove possible to offer
graduate work in agriculture,
leading to a master’s degree.
Another big advantage will also
be enjoyed by the extension pro
gram which will also be depart
mentalized by subject matter
along the lines of present re
search activities. It is anticipated
that extension and research pro
grams may also be coordinated
with the work of the soil con
servation districts and with cer
tain functions of the Alaska De
partment of Agriculture., Such
important functions as supervi
sion of the seed certification and
crop improvement programs will
be stressed under the proposed
reorganization.
Queried as to whether it was
true that Dr. Mick was being
r v ■■ ■: :■ •: t: i: 11 irtt mr rrv it
considered for appoinment as
the new Dean of A; riculture.
President Moore said: It is in
deed true that authority for this
appointment was obtained from
the Executive Committee of the
Board of Regents at their recent
meeting last week. F nal deci
sions await the arrival of Dr. S.
B. Fracker from the Washington
office of the Agricultural Re
! search Administration, who rep
resents their interest? in this
matter (which chiefly concerns
I joint operation of the Experiment
Station.) From their etters we
know their view to be extremely
favorable.”
Dr. Mick received nis Ph. D
from Michigan State College
where he majored in : oil science
and agricultural eng'reering. He
is the author of numerous techni
cal papers and bullelins in the
field of soil science, and has ac
quired extensive experience m
college teaching at bath under
graduate and graduate levels
During the last four y ears he has
served as head of the soil science
department and edi' or in the
Alaska Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Veteran's On Farm—
Continued from page 1
the United States, Article 1. Sec
tion 9. regarding ex post facto
laws. However, the University
head stated in his letter to the
VA, "We are pointing out to
Veterans, the obligation to pro
vide reasonable information re
quested concerning their eligibil
ity for training and subsistence
allowance under the program.”
Many local Veterans have
withdrawn from the tra ning pro
gram because of the necessity of
furnishing such information,
which, they fear, might make
them liable for repayment of sub
sistence funds received during the
retroactive period.
Charles Wilson returned Tues
day from Fairbanks, where he
had been supervising SCS activ
ities for several days.
