NEW DORMITORY
AT COLLEGE IS
THROWN OPEN
PRESIDENT BUNNELL ADVISES
PUPILS MAKE RESERVATIONS
IMMEDIATELY FOR ROOMS
The College Dormitory is now ready
Tor occupancy, or rather it is being
made ready from day to day, and
enough rooms are finished so that
those who have been waiting for
them ever since College opened can
be accommodated. By the end of
the first week in December all the
rooms will be finished and there will
be accommodations for at least 20
short course men. It is expected that
at least that many in addition to the
regular students will desire to take
the short course in mining and will
prefer to have quarters at the Col
lege.
The Territorial Legislature did
its part in providing funds for the
building of a dormitory and now the
Board of Trustees of the College is
determined to extend every possible
opportunity to the students. To
those who have lived in interior Al
aska for the last twenty years or
more it seems impossible that one
can secure a steamheated room, elec
tric lights, bath, board and generally
the accommodations of an up-to-date
apartment for the sum of fifty-five
dollars per month. This, however, is
just what is being done at the Col
lege. The College furnishes the bed.
springs, mattress, chairs, study table
and chiffioner for the room. The
student furnishes his own bedding
and linen. Such articles can be pur
chased at the College Bookstore
slightly in excess of the cost at
wholesale. The Library at the Col
lege remains open until 10:30 p. m.
and the lights at the dormitory are
on until 11:30 p. m.
The second Short Course for Min
ers and Prospectors will begin Feb
ruary 1. It is well worth while and
every one who can possibly afford
to do so should arrange to come to
the College for a period of ten weeks
and make use of this exceptional op
portunity. The laboratories have
equipment that is unexcelled in its
line, and the collection of mineralo
gical and geological specimens is by
far the largest and most complete
collection ever assembled in the Ter
ritory.
Those who intend to take the sec
ond short course should communi
cate with President Bunnell so that
reservations for rooms can be made.
One rooming at the dormitory has
plenty of opportunity to visit Fair
banks for the electric car makes
seven round trips per day between
Fairbanks and the College. The ex
pense for books and supplies for
the course will amount to approxi
mately twenty-five dollars but there
is no charge for tuition.

NINE CITIZENSHIP
NIGHT SCHOOLS
ARE OPERATING
COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION
HENDERSON ANNOUNCES
LARGER ENROLLMENT
Nine night citizenship schools with
a total enrollment of 174 at the time
they were opened, are now being con
ducted in as many towns and commu
nities in the Territory with funds pro
vided for by The Territorial govern
ment, according to an announcement
made by L. D. Henderson to the Ju
neau Empire. Three others are ex
pected to open in the near future with
an additional enrollment of 68 stu
dents.
The initial enrolment this year is
about the same as that of 1924-25, Mr.
Henderson said. It was expected to
increase materially after the work got
under headway.
Six of the nine schools already
opened are in the First Division; two
in the Third and one in the Fourth.
All three of the schools that are ex
pected to start up soon are in the
Third division.
The Juneau night school had the
largest number of students in attend
ance on the opening night, reporting
32 present. Petersburg had 30 and
Latouche a like number. Other com
munities in which the work is being
carried on are: Ketchikan 12; Salt
Chuck 16, Chichagof 12, Kasaan IS,
Blackburn (Kennecott) 12, Fairbanks !
12. Schools have been authorized at
Hoonah, Tenakee and Hyder. The one I
at the last town is scheduled to open i
Nov. 30 with an enrollment of 30.
Hoonah reports a prospective enroll
ment of 30 and Tenakee IS but no
dates had been set for beginning the
terms. Fifteen teachers are assign
ed to the work and the terms are au
thorized for periods ranging from 12
to 20 weeks.
A majority of students enrolled in
all schools are aliens who are taking
subjects preparatory to taking citizen
ship examinations. The remainder is
composed of American citizens una
ble to attend public schools who are
taking advantage of the opportunity |
to acquire a working knowledge of
the English language, American gov-1
ernment and other fundamental sub
jects.
J. Junte, an old timer who ran a
barbershop in Seward for many years,
is doing well in Oakland, California,
where he is located. Mr. Junte still
owns property in Seward. Mr. and j
Mrs. Junte left Seward in 1921.
