ter. He told some of the stor-
les which are as familiar in
Alaska households as tales Of
the Overland Express in the
West. Among these was t h e
thrilling recital of how dipth-
eria serum was taken overland
to Nome in 1925. He recalled
the words of tribute Senator
Dill of Washington made in
the Senate in 1925 with respect
to the carrying of the serum
who had said, "The classic vic
tory of these dogs and men will
probably be the last of its kind
and is certainly a fitting fin
ish to the long history of brill
liant achievement made by dog
teams in the Far North"
Senator Bartlett concluded
his statement asserting, This
was, in fact, far from the last
Alaska race and far from fin
ish to the records m a d e by
heroic men and dogs of t h e
Northland. These records are
still being made, by such
heroic men as the postal car
rier, Chester Noongwook."

Preliminary enrolment of

passed predictions of Univer-

will continue this week and is
expected to go beyond 1850
students.
The preliminary figures in
clude some evening division

the So students enrolled in the
48 week electronics program.
This is more than a ten per
cent increase over last years
enrolment of 1,159.
I'VE expect our enrolment
not to increase substantially
this year because the number
of high school graduates in
June in the state was about the
same as the previous year. Next
year is when we expect a sig
nificant increase in students,
