Last weeks Regents meeting in
Billings accepted the report on wheth-
er Eastern Montana College of Edu-
cation should grant liberal arts de-
grees without comment. Of course
everybody and his brother will have
something to say about it, even Gov.
Tim Babcock, who as 1859 legisla-
tor voted against ALL appropriations
for higher education, thought he is
in favor of opening the gates for
Eastern to become as big as Missoula's
University and the Bozeman College.
Tim and the Billings Chamber of
Commerce surely would never stoop
to political and economic considera-
ton when viewing our higher educa-
tional needs, or would they?
Now some people have the mis-
taken idea that you pay taxes to the
state. The state taxes you-takes
what it wants for its purposes. This
concept may be little difficult for
those who have swallowed the Mon
tana Powers propaganda line that
they give the state so much money
so that your kiddies can go to school
without costing you personally so
much.
The states purposes in spending
your taxes are entirely self-serving.
The state perpetuates itself by train
ing i'm elementary and secondary
levels the rudimentary literate skills.
The neophyte citizen is given the
opportunity for higher education if
he can manage fee to- build the
dormitories, field houses, swimming
pools and even classrooms.
Now this monstrous thing called
the state compels attendance at it's |
institutions at least for taxing pur-
poses from the age six to twenty-one. |
Physical attendance is not compelled
beyond the age sixteen.
Teachers being as portable as stu
lents, prompted early educators to
believe that the university could func-
ion in. separate localities instead of
,eing in one place. They have been
proven right except that the COM
became very possessive and
PARTISAN toward the unit which is
within their city limits.
Three of the six units-W estern
1t Dillon, Northern at Havre and
Eastern, exist only because of the
tate's need for civil officers known
S teachers. The School of Mines in
Butte was established specifically to
'rovide technicians for the metals
ndustry. The intermingled purposes
f Bozeman and Missoula are well
nown while they seem to be dupli-
ating themselves to provide leaders

pproacheso are different. Bozeman

My being part of a great country, the United States of America, gives me feeling of security.
 As an Alaskan Eskimo, I think of the way Eskimos regard, and work for true security. Our past security depended on natural re- sources, wild game and much faith. We knew what the long winters would bring, so we worked for warmth, food, and shelter We had to depend on our dogs for trans portation. This was all the securi- ty we knew, but we were happy.
 Then when Alaska was purchas- ed from Russia by the United States, we became more in touch with many different kinds of people who at first came only for wealth.
 Later they began to live with us. First of all was the trader who brought guns to kill game-we had been using spears, and bow with arrows. Then came the mission aries who travelled many miles to give us the Gospel of God and started the first schools Later came the doctors and nurses who helped the sick. All these new ideas and the ways of life proved to be better, so we accepted them. These ad- vances gave Us a stronger feeling of security.
 Then more people came. We be- gan to depend on this new security. As we advanced with the white people, we had to learn their lan- guage and customs. Teachers came. From them we learned the Ameri- can way of life.
 Since becoming a new state and really, for the first time, part of the United States, we have chal- lenge to work toward modern world. Our parents have been en- couraging us, the younger genera ton, to go to school so we can pre- pare ourselves for the future. They know that in order to face mo- dern world one has to know more than what has been learned from our ancestors.

The ancient Eskimos of the Arc tic were ardent followers of sports contests whenever an occasion pre- scented itself. Contests were held as integral parts of whaling celebra- tions and other suspicious occa- Sions.
 A competition would become so keen that toward its conclusion much suspense built up as to which of the men had the most endurance, nerve, and toughness, and which of the participants would be first to say "uncle.'
 The characteristic Eskimos have always seemed to lean toward is toughness. To keep their toughness sharpened the ancient Eskimos de- vised some contests that certainly required that trait.
 Such contests emphasized tough ness which the men especially need ed to have in their pursuit of hunting. A tough man was certain ly looked upon with something of an awe by the community. The contests certainly brought the tough men out into the open and they were respected and admired. es- pecially by the youth.
 Two Factions
 In the whaling community of Ti- gara Point Hope), the village, ap- parently through centuries papt, was divided into two factions or sections, the north side and the south side. The north side was call- ed qarQmaktuuq and the south side,

Americunisn1 Meuns Freedom and Security

For our true security in this age. we have to get an education. We not only have to go to school, but also go on to college or trade school. Therefore, I believe that in this world of science and it's great ad- vances, education is the key to true security. Then after getting our education we will have the feeling that we can raise family without the fear of not getting our next meal. I believe this is what native Alaskans are working toward.
 Our ancestors had to work hard for their security. We, the young CT generation of Alaskan Natives, must also work hard in school to- ward making our security possible. When our training is completed, we will be able to face the world in an easier way. We will be able to buy modern conVeniences neces- sary for easier living. Thinking of IIllS lllcihCS lllC 1CIdll lIlC Ottyo ol our ancestors when they had no motors to run their boats. no rifles to kill their game. and no convent enceS. Contemplating that makes me glad that I am living in this day and age. Most of all am thank full that I am an American citizen.
 In this age of nuclear power and the advance in it, we look forward to a world of peace and security. All of us hope that the atomic power will be used wisely and not as force to destroy our security.
 If the schools of America con- tinue to teach moral responsibilities and civic responsibilities, the new generation of citizens of the 18th state will be able to enjoy true se- curity in a way that has never been known before.
 To us true security is freedom to worship as we please, freedom and opportunities to train ourselves for our future, freedom from fear of dreaded illnesses, and freedom from fear of aggression by other powerful nations. These freedoms are guaranteed to American citi- zens and give us our true securi- ty - the American way.

 Each side had a roughly corres- bonding number of whaling cap- tains and crews. The main purpose of this setup was competition be- tween the two factions to see which side would catch more whales.
 At the end of a successful season both sides celebrated. The first celebration was held by whichever side had celebrated second the sea- son before. When the south side for instance, finished it's festivities, the celebrants moved to the north side.
 At each of these celebrations. the nalukatuk blanket toss), feasting, dancing, were performed along with visiting, and friendly banter.
 Loser Challenges
 When celebrations on both sides had been completed, games or con- tests were started. The opening performance was usually a tug of war between the north and the south. The loser of this event pick ed out the next challenging event.
 The challenge might be Eskimo football or wrestling where rules were liberal. Such things as clip ping were allowed. If you felt req sonably safe from retaliation, one might dig his opponents face into the ground. It usually got rough enough where some broken bones resulted.
 Ano.<ar challenge might be foot race between the two factions. To the east of Tigara is a small hill five miles away. The runners round-

 Swollen Knuckles
 The next contest was a knuckle and toe hop. A starting line was marked. A contestant got on lis belly on the floor at the starting line, doubled his fists and then suspended his body resting on his knuckles and toes.
 It began with the contestant hop ping on his knuckles and toes across the floor, rounding a point on the opposite end of the starting line.
 A good contestant could stride about two feet at time and the winner was the one who rounded the floor mere times than his op- ponents. When this was over the contestants came out with highly swollen knuckles.
 Next came the difficult and one Ot the most painful contests. The contestant had to be a tough man to be in this contest.
 A starting line was required for this one also. The participant took off his mukluks and socks. At the starting line he hopped lightly com ing down on his toes. The signifi- cant part of this was, that he land- ed on the knuckles of his toes which he had doubled back at the light leap.
 At this position the contestant commenced to hop across the floor landing each time on the knuckles of his toes. It was not hard to vince each time he landed with an

 skI0 GAMES EMPHASIZED ENDURANCE, NERVE, TOUGHNESS

unmistakable sound of bone hit ting the hard floor.
 Need Nerves
 Next came the contest that was usually done as finale of the games. To perform in this con- test was to have a good set of nerves as well as toughness.
 A piece of stout driftwood of about a yard long was whittled so that it had knife-sharp edge.
 The contestant then would lie down in prone position on the ground or on the floor. Then two men stood on each side of him talk ing hold of the piece of wood at each end and placed the knife edge against the bridge of the nose of the contestant who was lying prone.
 The contestant stiffened his body as the two men slowly started lift ing at each end of the stick. If the contestant didn't falter he was lift ed into standing position with the knife edge on the bridge of his nose.
 The result of this, of course, was a clean cut to the bone.
 And so, the ancient Eskimos took their games seriously. They were geared to the conditions around them, that of necessity of maintain ing ruggedness, toughness, and stamina. They considered those as vital in their struggle for survival.
 There were, of course, light and amusing games that were played. But in the name of keen competl- ton difficult contests were held and they never failed to arouse great interest in the community.

Parakeet Throws Staff Into Iizzy

left the parakeet so the office could take care of it.
 Somewhere along the shuffle, the bird had lost it's name and we Just don't call it anything. We didn't even know whether it was boy or a girl.
 One morning the bird became sick and the office personnel thought it was deathly sick. We became very worried, of course.
 The bird began to go through throes of agony and contortions and soon it was vomiting. As soon as it vomited, it would go through new series of contortions.
 The worried personnel watched the suffering bird helplessly and began to voice their concern. One said, Gosh, it's really suffering isn't it?" Another said, What shall we do?"
 When it looked as if the bird would choke to death, the book keeper said excitedly, Lets call a doctor, I mean the bird people-you know what I mean!'
 The bookkeeper at once started to consult the telephone book. After shuffling through it furiously she finally located number and dialed. The party on the other end said hello. so did the bookkeeper who explained the symtoms of the ail- ing parakeet. Then she listened fur ther and blurted out,
 What? You mean the darn thing is going through the counting per- formance? Well, I'll be -.
 The Tundra Times staff also found out that the bird is a boy.

ed certain point agreed upon to come back to the starting point. The trouble with the track was that about a four mile stretch of it was gravel. When you kicked for a stride, you slipped back about six inches.
 Become Difficult
 As the challenges progressed, they became tougher. High kicks were performed where the better ones kicked up to nine feet. The re- quirement for this sport was to kick both feet into the air simultaneous ly and kick a suspended ball with both feet at the same time. To touch the ball with one toe did not count.
 Next came the ear pull. The men had their wives make a braided loop of sineW to about the size of fine twine. The idea was to loop one end around the ear of one man and the other end around the ear of the opponent.
 The contest begins by slowly tightening the loop with the base of the ears. The tension was built up to a straining pull until one of the opponents gave up. Both con- testants usually come out of this where the sinew had broken the skin and dug into the flesh.
 Next came the skull crush The idea of this one was to clasp ones hand around the back of the neck of the opponent. The two men then began to pull each others neck. straining hard forehead to fore head
