Governor of
 Rotarians
 Visitor Here
Mig" Bor|eske Heads Up Biggest Distritt-
 Week 5 Stay

R. Vincent (Nig) Borleske, coach of football. basketball and baseball teams at Whitman College for the past 25 years, is used to big jobs.
 So he takes right in stride the task of being District Governor of the largest Rotary District in the world. District 101, of which Juneau is the northernmost club, has not only the largest area of any Rotary District; it also has the most clubs, 83.
 Borleske arrived on the steamer Alaska last night to spend week visiting Juneau Rotarians. He says he can't spend a week with each club in the District, but believes the far-outlying clubs such as Ju- neau's deserve a little extra at tention since they are naturally out of touch with Rotary activities in general.
 Going to Fairbanks
 On his way north Borleske has visited the Prince Rupert and Ket- chikan clubs. When he leaves here on the steamer Baranof next week he will go to Fairbanks by way of Valdez and the Richardson Highway in an effort to establish a club in the Interior.
 The District Governor is accom- panied by Mrs. Borleske, who is instructor in physical education for women at Whitman, and by Miss Alice Anderson, piano teacher or the Whitman faculty. They are al the Gastineau Hotel.
 Borleske says the Walla Walls institution has virtually given him l years leave Of absence to look after his Rotary work. Of course he'll be back at Whitman putting another Missionary eleven through it's paces in the fall. More thar simply being coach, Borleske i Director of all Physical Education at Whitman College.
 Heard of Council
 The widely known Northwes sports figure said he wanted to bt sure to see pr. w. w. Council, z football player of considerabl, lame, before he leaves Juneau. NJ doubt he will. Dr. Council is { fellow Rotarian.
 A banquet in honor of Distric l Governor Borleske will be held b, Juneau Rotarians and their Wive. | at the Baranof Hotel at o'clocl Tuesday evening.
