Named for Dr.
Patty at Dedieation
The University of Alaska will
pay tribute to its third president
by dedicating the new health, phy
sical education and recreation fa
cility in his name October 18.
The building will be named for
Dr. Ernest N. Patty, who, to most
people, ranks with Judge James A.
Wickersham and Judge Charles E.
Bunnell as one of the men most
responsible for the development
and growth of the University
Dr. Patty has been closely linked
with the University since he first
joined its faculty in 1922.
There was not much on top of
College Hill when Dr. Patty first
arrived at the Alaska Agricultural
College and School of Mines, as a
young mining engineer in 1922.
He found a small, struggling school
with one frame building, scanty
furniture, six faculty members
and six students.
During Dr. Patty’s administra
tion the University began to achieve
the stature it holds today — a
well-known institution of higher
learning. Many new buildings
were added during his administra
tion—the Bunnell Memorial Build
ing. Wickersham Hall, Constitu
tion Hall. Stevens Hall. McIntosh
Hall, Walsh Hall, and Stuart Hall.
Among the many other improve
ments Dr. Patty directed are the
strengthening of the liberal arts
program with the help of Carne
gie Foundation grants, and a com
prehensive development plan with
a Ford Foundation grant. Under
his guidance the faculty was in
creased, the graduate study pro
gram was implemented and im
proved, and the enrollment
trebled.
Now President Emeritus, Dr.
Patty makes his home in Seattle,
but he is a frequent visitor to the
University campus. He still “keeps
his hand in" as he says, as a con
sultant for several mining opera
tions in Alaska. Yukon Territory,
Washington, and Oregon.
Mr. Boyd Harwod. member of
the Board of Regents, leaves Nome
tomorrow to attend the ceremony
at the U of Alaska.
The Veterans Administration
had recognized 176 local unions to
represent VA employees at the
close of fiscal year 1963.

of being first to the moon. He
said no choice has been made as to
who will be first.

PAA Replies to Alaska
Airline Charge of ‘Unfair’
\ WASHINGTON <#—Pan Amcr
| ican World Airways has entered
; a formal denial that it is engag
ing in unfair competition with
Alaska Airlines on the Seattle-to
Fairbanks route.
This comes in a reply filed with
the Civil Aeronautics Board in
Washington. D C., after Alaska Air
lines complained.
Alaska Airlines objected after
PAA switched its Seattle depar
tures for Fairbanks from mornings
to evenings to virtually coincide
with its competitor's schedule.
The replv bv Pan American con
tends there is nothing new or un
lawful about competing airlines
operating simultaneous schedules.
It goes on to say that Alaska .Air
lines has received more than 12
! million dollars insubsidies on the
Seattle-to-Fairbanks route alone
! and that PAA receives none.
In 1954 state and federal high
! way user taxes totaled $6 billion.
: In 1963 these levies will produce
I an estimated $11 billion.
