STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN MATHEMATICS CONTEST

Tomorrow morning, ten Nome High students will participate in the 1862 Annual High School Mathematics Contest, Richard Mc- Cornick announced today. This contest is jointly sponsored by the Mathematical Assn. of Ameri- ca and the Society of Actuaries in Canada.
 The contest aims to create and sustain interest in mathematics among students of secondary schools by supplementing the regular classroom work, and at tempts to broaden and deepen mathematical concepts.
 Students participating in the contest include Tom Boucher, Pam Mulvihill, Gail Croell, Floyd Kugzruk, Jeanette Amundsen, Ann Chambers, Richard Foster, Devon Alexander, David Grant and Jeff Grant.
 Wm. Ullrich, mathematics in structor who will administer the test, pointed out that expanding scientific and social horizons point up the urgent need for personnel trained on several levels in pure and applied mathematics. "The contest suggests to the secondary student some of the fascination and imagination in mathematical study and it is hoped the sug- gestion will be strong enough to make continued work in mathe- matics and all it's allied fields ir- resistible," MT. Ullrich added.

House OkeIls
  Of Alaska Voters

JUNEAU R - A bill whicl would require pre-registration o, voters in Alaska's major popu- lation areas passed the House late Monday by a vote of 24-16.
 The measure also eliminates the provision for straight party voting in general elections.
 Six Democrats joined the solid Remember Republican minority in approving the bill.
 However, it's packers could not muster the necessary two-thirds vote which would have provided an emergency effective date clause whoch would have made the bill effective after passage or ap- proval
 That means it will not become effective until 90 days after ap- proval by Gov. Egan, if it passes the Senate and gets Egan's okeh.
 The pre- registration claus e would require voter registration in all districts in which 3,G00 or more votes were cast in the pre- ceding general election. However, registration would not be required in precincts in which less than 300 votes were cast in the pre- ceding general election.
 Under those terms, pre-regis- tration would be required in the Fairbanks, Anchorage, Juneau and Ketchikan districts.
 The bill also provides that only a cross-mark, an "X" or a plus sign placed in the square opposite the name of the candidate will be counted. Any other mark would invalidate the ballot.
 In the two hours of floor ac- ton which preceded the final vote, lawmakers beat back all attempts at major amendment.
 One of the prolonged battles came over an amendment by Rep Dora Sweeney which would have provided for a blanket primary rather than the present party pri mary.
 Mrs. Sweeney said that whe the issue was placed before tn people in 194y, 79 per cent of th votes cast were in favor of tn. blanket primary.
 A blanket primary law was passed, but was repealed in 1859
 'sIf we do not adopt blanket primary, I say we are ignoring a directive by the people," Mrs. Sweeney said.
 Rep. John Longworth argued that under the party primary each party is able to choose its best candidate without the danger of crossover votes by members of the opposition party who might vote for the weakest candidate on the opposition slate.
 The amendment failed on a IT, 22 count which ziz-zagged across party lines.

Nation. The other was a record
book which gave information
on farming in the Cumberland

Books MicrOfilmed
Mrs. Hinkle loaned the books
to the university to be micro
filmed. They are temporarily
on display at McKeldin Library
on the College Park campus.
Other treasures turned up
since the course was started in
l945 include a map Of Balti-
more when its area was no
more than so acres, a 1906
pictpre of Cumberland. and
more than 5000 color slides of
historical homes and land
