NEW U. OF A. BUILDING NAMED CONSTITUTION HALL

Alaska,s constitutional conven- tion will be honored for all time by the University of Alaska, Dr. Ernest N. Patty, university presi- dent, disclosed today.
 He said the board of regents agreed to coname the new $500, 900 Student Union Building, in which the convention just ended, "Consti- tuition Hall"
 Dr. Patty also disclosed that the regents agreed to name the recent ly opened married students dormi- tory Stuart Hall"
 This action honors the memory of Walter T. Stuart of Ketchikan who died Dec. 2, 1854. At that time he was vice president of the board of regents. He served as a regent for IA years In addition to his many services to the university, he was particularly active in the land acquisition program for the institution for several years prior to his death.

 Right now we do not have ade- quate cold-storage facilities, but if our industry continues to grow through the development of these and other operations, I feel sure that before long large cold stor- age plant will be a reality in Ko- diak.

Consequently the small ma jority of .vossy favorihg the sales tax as means of obtaining these needed improvements. Another tax in this day and age e~of tax on tax, looms up as just another burden.

That would not be quite true. There are limiting and complicat- ing factors, though I doubt that any of them are insurmountable.

ing Association
The chairman of the New

to sign for a fight himself when
his manager is under suspension.

ton sheer hypocrisy"
"You know" he said, turning
toward Lou Radzienda, president
of the MIA. that after a fight
the fighter will go back to his
hotel and whack up the purse
with his suspended manager.
