Land Hearings
 Here MarcI, 2-3

Land hearings here, are sched- uled for Wednesday and Thursday, March 2 and 3, in the Courtroom at the Donnelley Building.
 Hearings on the proposed regula- tionS covering the classification, lease, and sale of uplands and tide lands are being held by the Divi- sion of Lands of the Department of Natural Resources. Copies of the proposed regulations are avail able upon request from the Divi- sion of Lands, 333 D Street, Anchorage.
 Oral as we'll as written suggest ions on the sections of the pro- posed regulations will be received at the hearings, but written sug- gestions are particularly desired.
 Under the proposed regulations, land disposal will be through lease or sale.

 The regulations do not impose a limitation of one tract on the pur- chaser but rather encompasses a total acreage limitation which can be taken up in number of tracts as they are needed. The leases or purchase contracts Or deeds are completely assignable to other parties so land will not be in an

 AS crabs are nomadic in habit, Powell found it necessary to build pens to confine his crabs to a certain area to insure continuity to his studies.
 Now when Powell flippers his bubbly way bottomward in his scuba (self-contained unit breath ing apparatus) suit, he can observe his impri-oned tenants living in their neutral environment on the ocean floor.
 Powell tends 300 crabs in six pens that have combined area of 600 squa feet. A two-inch stainless steel wire mesh keeps the smallest crabs from crawling out and prevents outside crabs from crawling in and eating the

 When research biologist Guy Powell began his king crab re- search two years ago, he studied crabs by trapping them in pots and hauling them to the surface
