|74 MEN AND WOMEN
 ARE NOW ATTENDING MINING COURSE HERE

Every night Monday through Fri day chemical fumes seep from an upstairs classroom at the USO. Ser vicemen, newly arrived in town, stop in their tracks in the main up- stairs lounge and sniff wonderingly. Popcorn, peanuts, and frying bacon are standard USO snells-but chem Iicals?
 Then some initiate explains. The
 mining course is in session. c. R. Burley, faculty member of the University of, Alaska Extension Service, and head of Juneau's four week mining course sometimes lets an extra curious serviceman peek in on his busy little laboratory where IS men and girls sit absorb ed with alcohol lamps, vials, slate like rocks and a text book entitled "Determinative Mineralogy for the Alaska Prospector" by Albert S. Wilkerson.

They apply themselves whether I'm standing over them or not" Looking over MT. Burley's class room last night. anyone could cas- fly see what he meant Every head was bent in deep interest, only the (sound of leaves turning and sibilent sound of alcohol burners could be heard. The students, among them a lone serviceman-a Coast Guard seaman who said he just liked mining testing tubes of min erals for their proper names. | Interest Intense There was no classroom chatter. Interest was intense and the atmos phere of effort and industry could have easily been that of mid-term laboratory test in any large college. The course will be terminated on January B. Students successful in passing the course will be awarded certificate of accomplishment. The final test" will be merely quiz to "straighten everything out" in the students minds. They will grade their own papers.
 T know their work" MT. Burley said, "and their attendance records" These two factors will decide distri- button of the certificates. So far attendance has been good with the exception of an understandable de- cline around the last few days. Even mining students celebrate Christmas" said MT Burley with twinkle in his eye.
