Buddy Rogers Prefers

chiefly by suspicion and mis-
understanding on both sides. the

an old star of the latter. The new
medium has it all over the older
one from the standpoint of an

who recently took over as the

"Television is far more stimu-
lating than movies" says Mr..

and I'm in it for good. Every

 The course consists of number of drills instructing children in the necessary steps to minimize casualties in event of an enemy bombing raid.
 Whether inside a building pr outside in the playground" Lan- dreth said, "the children will be taught exactly what must be done and at the same time allay the fears to great extent, of anxious parents"
 Also included will be movies and strip film on Civil Defense to aid the teachers in their course of instruction.
 Local directors will handle dis tribution of program to all the schools in their community. Al aska Native Service will handle their distribution through the main office in Juneau.

 Enrolment Shows 2.5 Men for Euch Coed

Enrolment at the University of Alaska stood at 260 students as the first week of the l951-52 school year ended September 2l. Alaskan residents accounted for 228 of the total.
 This influx of students fills the mems dormitories to their capaci- ty of 131, and although the 42 wo- men living on campus do not quite fill Hess Hall, only senior women rate single rooms.
 Classes began at 7:55 Wednes- day morning, September 19, with the largest enrolment (48) in the Department of Arts and Letters, while Civil Engineering and Min ing Engineering tied for second place with 36 students majoring in each department. The two new departments on-campus, Wildlife Management and Electrical En- gineering, have both begun very we'll with a total of g majors and 12 majors respectively. The grad uate department in vii dlife which opened for research and work toward a masters degree last year, has a capacity enroll ment of 8 and had to refuse fur ther applications more than a month before the opening of the University.
 As is usual with a school which specializes in the scientific and engineering fields, the University of Alaska has more men than wo- men students; however, the pro- portion is not so unbalanced as it has been in former years since there are now a mere 25 men for each woman attending this fall.
 The incoming freshman class has maintained it's traditional nu- merical superiority and is the largest class on-campus, and this year, for the first time in many years, the senior class far out numbers the junior. Fortyfour seniors have returned to the Uni versity of Alaska this fall, while the junior class numbers only 28. Late registrations, which are ac- ceptable until October 3rd, may change these figures, but with

Alaska Income Tax Shows Highest
 Increase in U. 5.

Alaska leads all the states of the nation not only in growth of population--as demonstrated by the 1850 census--but also in the increase of tax payments to the Federal treasury, the Alaska De- velopment Board was advised last month by the Bureau of In- tesTal Revenue.
 Internal Revenue collections in Alaska in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1851, were 1928 percent greater than in the previous year, the Bureau reported. Collections of corporation income and profits taxes, individual income and em- ployment taxes and miscellan- eous internal revenues in the Ter ritory totaled $38,762, ,327.11 as compared with $17393,930.93 in the previous year, the Develop ment Board was advised.
 1.-The increase of 1928 percent in a single year compares with the nationwide average increase of but 29.5 percent. Delaware, the state showing the greatest in- crease in total internal revenue collections, marked up a 58.9 per cent advance during the year. Masks increase, therefore, was more than twice as great as that of the leading state.
 The large increase in collections in the Territory was accounted fort mainly by individual income and employment tax collections which went up in the single year from $14,349,235.78 to 34,94O,189.- 29. This increase of 143.5 percent was not even approached by any state.
 Alaska's citizens who, including the military--comprise only .O85 percent of the nations population, last year contributed IS percent of total individual income and employment tax collections by the United States.
 Collections of corporation in- come and profits taxes in Alaska amounted to $1,954,671.84 in the year, an increase of 349 percent over fiscal 1850. Miscellaneous Internal revenue collections to- tailed $1,867,465.98, aA increase of I'll percent. Most of the corpora tions in Alaska, the Development Board noted, make their tax re- turns in outside states and the amounts thus are not reflected ir the Alaska totals. If tbey were the Board estimated, total inter. nal revenue collections from Alaska would be found to be in excess of $5O,oO0, ,00O per year.

The city of Fairbanks is seeking $l0 million from the federal gov ernment in order to improve its facilities to serve the influx of persons now in the area because of the defense effort.
