GENERAL ELECTION SEPT. 8. 1012.
The people of Alaska have a Legislature. It
meets for 60 days every 2 years. It decides how
much shall be spent for our roads. It is respon
sible for our Public Schools, ft provides for the
care of our needy children and our needy elder
ly men and women.
Because of the War the Territory and its
citizens must make many adjustments. It is more
important now than in times of Peace that we
choose carefully the men to be our members in
tiie Legislature. The limited powers we have in
our Government must be watched and preserved.
The next Legislature must have men in it
that will know what our part of Alaska needs;
men that will protect the rights of Alaskans. The
Republican candidates are those kind of men.
You will vote wisely on September 8. at the
General Election by voting for—

Scholarship*.
Territorial scholarships o f
room rent free arr available for
certain qualifying students who
graduated from Territorial high
schools in the classes of 1941 and
1942. Those qualifying must ad
vise the Registrar promptly. Also
entering first year students, resi
dents of the Territory, who en
roll in agriculture, pre-fisheries
or mining, may become appli

warded promptly to the Regis
trar, University of Alaska, Col

Through the courtesy of the
Alaska Steamship Company and
the Alaska Railroad special
rates for students are in effect
in Alaska. Students are advised
to make inquiry when purchas
ing tickets.
Sub-Freshmen Courses
Sub-freshmen courses are offer
ed to students who have com
pleted the junior year of high
school, and who for any reason
have not been able to complete
their secondary school work. Col
leges and universities in the Unit
ed States have been called upon
to accelerate their schedules.
This University is now arrang
ing its schedule so that young
men who have completed the
junior year of high school can
(finish their secondary school
work and their four years of
college in a total of four years.
This means a year’s saving in
time for the student who has
the ability and is walling to make
this extra effort to answer the
Nation’s call. '
Enlisted Reserve Corps
The accredited colleges and
universities of the United States
have been called upon to parti
cipate in the program for the
voluntary enlistment of college
students in the Enlisted Reserve
Corps. The call is for 80.000 first
year men. 57,000 second-year
men, and 41,000 third-year men.
The quotas assigned to the Uni
versity of Alaska are 28 first -
year men, 20 second-year men.
22 third-year men and 21 seniors.
The plan provides for the enlist
ment of male students over 13 ;
at enlistment and under 45 at
time of graduation, who can m* et
physical requirements for en
trance to Officer Candidate
Schools in the Enlisted Reserve
Corps. During the next school
year students of all classes may
be enlisted; in future years only
incoming freshmen will be elig
ible.
Enlisted freshmen and sopho
mores who qualify by examina
tion taken prior to the end of
the sophomore year, and those
who originally enlisted as jun
iors or seniors, will be permit
ted to continue their college
course until graduation if satis
factory college standing is main
tained and if exingencies of the
Service permit. Upon gradua
tion from college, those who
have taken the ROTC advanced
course, w'ill be commissioned;
others will be ordered to active
duty and will be commissioned
! upon graduation from an Officer
Candidate School. Enlisted fresh
men, and Sophomores W'ho do
not qualify by examination taken
prior to the end of the sopho
more year, and all those who do
not maintain satisfactory college
] standing, will be ordered to ac
■ tive duty in an enlisted status
i provided they have no valid rea
I son for deferment.
Enlistments
Enlistments under this plan
j can be made in any of the fol
| lowing branches: Army, Navy,
j Naval Aviation, Marine Corps,
and Army Air Forces. Since
ROTC is compulsory upon all
physically qualified male stu
dents of first and second year
j standing at the University of Al
aska, all enlistments of these
classes will be in the Army En
listed Reserve Corps. Students
who desire to enter other servic
es may signify their intention at
the time of enlistment, and, sub
ject to passing successfully the
examination near the close of
their sophomore year, will be di>
Air Battleship
Makes Successful
TesI Flight
c
Now Epoch In Commercial
And Military Aviation
Is Opened
Establishes New Concept of Bulk
(Cincinnati Enquirer)
A now epoch in both military
and commercial aviation was op ■
ened the other day when th<
70-ton flying boat Mars lifted its
bulk from the chop of Chesa
peake Bay and soared into the
air in seemingly effortless flight I
It was the first successful test
flight of the so-called "battleship
of the air.” The original test was
n red by the breaking of a pro- 1
poller blade.’which caused one
of flu’ flying ship’s four 2,000
horscpower engines to shake out
of its nacelle.
Equal to 14-Room House
Size is no oddity in flying
boats, because the various Clip
per planes which have been in
transoceanic service for a num
ber of years have not been small1
craft, but the Mars establishes a
new concept of bulk. Its wing- i
span is 200 feet, or two-thirds !
the length of a football field. Its
propellers are the largest in the I
world, measuring 17.6 feet — as
h:gh as the second floor of the)
average house. And to carry this
comparison a little further, the j
cubic content of the hull alone—
exclusive of the wings—is equal
to that of a fourteen room house.
As Much Gas As A Railroad Car
The Mars can carry as much :
gasoline as a railroad tank car.
and in use as a military trans- .
port could carry 150 fully armed
soldiers on a nonstop flight to
Europe and return. The navy has 1
not disclosed to what use the
Mar.- —or the XPB2M-1—will be
put, but it is indicated that it
will be used for emergency trans
port and fast shipment of crit
ical freight.
Cannot Be Shot Down
The very size of the flying boat
seemingly would make it an easy
target for attack (as was said
about the early United States
Army Flying Fortresses). But, as
in the case of the latter, hitting
and disabling are two different j
things. The Flying Fortresses
have demonstrated an ability to
withstand a fearful amount of
enemy fire, and Glenn L. Martin,
designer and builder of the Mars
says that “she cannot be shot
down unless her wings are lit
erally s-hot oft.”
Five Years in Building
The Mars has been five years
in the designing and building.
Mr. Martin says that lie lias de
signed a plane twice the size of 1
the Mars, but that the emphasis ;
now' will be on getting the 70- j
ton craft into production The ;
designer says that they can be i
produced at the rate of one a i
month. But, he indicated, deliv
eries cannot start for two years.
That, however, is an estimate
likely to be radically revised as
America appreciates the uses of
those "flying battleships.”
charged from the Army Enlisted
Reserve Corps and enlisted in
the branch of their choice. En
listments in the Naval Aviation
and Army Air Forces will be de
pendent upon meeting the phys
ical, educational and citizenship
requirements of those branches.
Students desiring to take ad
vantage of this plan should se
cure birth certificates, consent of
parents if a minor, proof of cit
izenship if not native born, and
other papers necessary to accom
plish enlistment.
Fledged To Help
The Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Navy have ag
reed upon the program for the
enlistment of college students in
the Enlisted Reserve Corps. Ev
ery facility of the University of
Alaska is pledged 'to help our Na
tion and our Allies win this war.
The Nation must have an assured
supply of men trained for ser
vice in technical fields.
The call comes to undergrad
uate college men in Alaska. If
further information is required
write at once to Registrar, Uni
versity of Alaska, College, Al
