U. of A. Enrollment Up
10 Per cent from 1902
Preliminary enrollment of 1.299
^students at the University of Alas
Pka last week surpassed predictions
fcof University officials. Late regis
tration w’ill continue this week and
is expected to go beyond 1,350
students.
The preliminary figures include
some evening division registrants,
but do not include the 36 studen's
enrolled in the 48 week electron.es
program.
This is more than a 10 per cent
increase over last year’s enroll
ment of 1,159.
“We expected our enrollment
not to increase substantially th.s
year because the number of high
school graduates in June in the
state was about the same as the
previous year. Next year is when
we expected a significant increase
in students." President William R.
Wood explained.

Look to Hurricane
As Blessing
By BEN F. MEPER
WASHINGTON M — An anti
Castro group says the devasta
tion wrought in Cuba by Hurri
cane Flora has struck a major
blow at Fidel Castro’s dictatorship
and “almost anything could hap
pen” to him now.
The Citizens Committee tor a
Free Cuba, an anti-Castro organi
zation, said, today hurricane dam
age is only the latest threat to the
prime minister's rale. Also endan
gering his position, it said, is the
collapse of Cuba’s food supply and
inreasingly rigid appliation of
Communist discipline and food
rationing.”
Even if the hurricane damage
was not catastrophic, committee
experts said, it unquestionably rep
resents an extremely serious set
back for the Castro government.
Reports of the damage dealt
Cuba by the hurricane have been
sparse. U.S. government experts
do not have enough information
to evaluate the situation definitely.
The Cuban press has written of 77
deaths. The Cuban rescue radio
network has spoken of 200.
Havana Radio, meanwhile, has
cautioned against rumors until
there is an official announcement.
An ordinance in a Midwest city
once made it illegal for two people
at a dinner table to use the same
fingerbowl.

Republican Women Hear
Trials of Party in
j Capturing Eskimo Vote
By AL DEN BESTE
EUGENE. Ore. — Selling Re
publican politics to Eskimos is
something like the well-known
feat with iceboxes, says Mrs. E.
T. Dimeck, of Anchorage.
Mrs. Dimeck, chairman of the
Alaska Republican Women’s Fed
eration. is in Eugene for the West
ern Republican Conference this
weekend. She was the only Alaska
delegate at a regional women’s
meeting preceding the main con
ference.
She sparked the women’s ima
gination when she told them she
is starting a campaign to organize
Republican women’s clubs among
the Eskimos in the Nome area,
near the Arctic Circle.
Most Eskimos in Alaska register
and vote, Mrs. Dimeck said in an
interview, but most of them vote
for Democrats.
She said that until recent years
Eskimos lived in closely-knit vil
lages run by a village council.
They have little wealth, she
said, and many get relief pay
ments. The Eskimos work when
they can find it, she said, and
most of them are excellent work
ers. but Republicans fear that
some are becoming too dependent
on government payments.
She thinks Republican organi
zation among the Eskimos could
help out this situation, too.
Mrs. Dimeck charged that Dem
ocrats have told the Eskimos their
relief payments will be hurt if they
vote for Republicans, and that
their hunting and fishing rights
will suffer.
She said she spoke to a group of
Eskimos when she ran for Congress
several years ago, and ran into a
stone wall of indifference.
The campaign for Eskimo Re
publican women’s clubs is just
starting, and Mrs. Dimeck does not
know how successful it will be.
But she said "If we can do it, it
will be a real victory.”
