 The first eight graduates of the RIGA course in New York returned to Anchorage where they took a 6 weeks specific technical course. They are now all employed by RIGA in different parts of Alaska.
 Two of the graduates married in the lower states and brought back wives to Alaska.
 Forshaug pointed out that 92 per cent of those who go through the training at the RIGA Institute have jobs before they graduate.
 After year at the institute, a person becomes employable. Some times the officials have to persuade students from dropping out to take employment
 The government bears the costs of the course which is about $3,000 per student. This includes $l ,404 tuition. $40 in related costs. blue cross insurance, room and board, and an amount for incidentals.

23 Native Young Men Leave Alaska For RIGA Training in Los Angeles

lWeIlly-lHTee young SdtiVe HieH left Alaska Saturday for the RIGA Institute at Los Angeles where they were scheduled to begin today a 18-month course of electronics training.
 This is the third group of Alaska natives to begin the RIGA training program which is greatly expand ing "The sky's the limit" said Jens Forshaug. relocation officer of the Fairbanks regional office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
 The first group of ten young na- five men who entered the RIGA h. stitute at New York City in Feb ruary, 1861 were graduated this summer and received congratula- tions from top officials in Washing ton including President Kennedy.
 The ability of the first two groups to adapt and successfully complete the course has given impetus to expanding the program.
 "Next year we will be able to take as many qualified applicants as we can get" Forshaug said to- day.
 He went on to point out that RIGA has 5O0-600 jobs for electronic tech nicians in Alaska and have a hard time keeping the vacancies filled because of the large turnover of fhaxy nfofn fn tho lower states after completing their contracts.
 Forshaug said that RIGA had esti- mated it could absorb about l25-15O electronic technicians year into steady jobs for the next five years.
 "We are going to seek as many applicants as we can. But we don't think we will be able to find enough qualified for the training. The high schools are just not turn ing them out fast enough he said.
 A requirement. for the course is high school education with math- ematics background. Chemistry and physics are helpful but not required.
 "We are even going to accept women applicants" Forshaug add ed
 Of the 23 that entered the 1nsti- tute today, II were processed through the Fairbanks office. They are James B. Bell, Aaron w. Bell, Ailsk A. Ernest, Floyd Nagozruk, of Nome; Virgil F. Naylor. Noatak; Caleb L. Pungowiyi. Northeast Cape; Thomas K. Octuck, Teller; Chester L. Ballot. Kotzebue: Thom-

An old Native custom which has been passed down through the years Is potiatch or dinner held in honor of a deceased Villager
 An Alaskan Native village is a closeknit group and almost every one is related to the others in the village. All the people respect Che another and pay due homage to their dead.
 So far as my knoWicdpc of the potlatch goes, the dinner is only held for Indians.

 The graduates become taxpayers. leave the small number of jobs available in villages for men with families, lessen the pressure of well fare, and provide a decent standard of living for themselves and their families. he continued
 Officials have said that the pro- gram is providing a great incentive to young native men all over the state to go into specialized train ing Many others through the BIA relocation program have gone tc other electronics schools in the lower states to return when gradu- ated to Alaska jobs.
