Record Numbers of
Freshmen Enrolling at
University of Alaska
Enrollment of students from
stateside high schools as fall sem
ester freshmen at the University
of Alaska already has broken all
records, President Ernest N. Patty
announced recently.
He revealed that 41 students
from outside have filed their
credentials and made dormitory
reservations. There are seven stu
dents from Oregon high schools,
seven from New York, five from
Califorina and four from Idahot
Fifteen other states are represent
ed in this freshman pre-registra
tion. The figure is continuing to
mount daily. ^
Reservations also are being re
ceived daily from Alaskan high
school graduates. Yet past exper
ience at the university indicates
that many of the graduates from
Alaskan high schools wait until
the last weeks before making ap
plications.
‘‘Dormitory space undoubtedly
will be at a premium this year,
and we want to give Alaskan
graduates preference,” Dr. Patty
said. “We urge the Alaskan grad
uates planning to' attend their own
university to send the registrar
their high school credentials and
applications for dormitory space
at the earliest possible moment.”

Military Planes Shadow
Her Vessels In Far East
LONDON, UP)—Russia has re
newed its complaint that U. S.
military planes are shadowing
Soviet merchant ships in Far

United States charging American

military planes of strafing one of
her vessels in the Far Eastern

Eight Western Oil Firms
Reach Agreement Restart
Iran’s Frozen Oil Industry
TEHRAN, Iran, UP»—Represent
atives of eight big western oil
companies and the Iranian gov
ernment announced broad agree
ment to restart Iran’s frozen oil
industry. They said they hoped
to begin shipping at least some
of the oil again in about two'
months.
Under the agreement announ
ced simultaneously in Tehran
and London, the eight companies
will operate the vast Abadan re
finery and the surrounding oil
fields. They will buy the oil out
put from Iran and will sell the
production abroad. Iran will re
tain title to the fields and the re
fining facilities.
Officials estimated that Iran,
through direct oil revenue and
taxes, would get 420 million dol
lars during the first three years
of the arrangement. The estimate
for the third year, more than 187
million, is larger than Iran’s pre
nationalization oil revenue.

Former Employer Fined
For Jesting Reference
Given To Young Typist
VEREENIGING, South Africa,
UP)—A 17-year-old girl typist has
been awarded $70 damages in
magistrate’s court because her
employer gave her a testimonial
which read in part:
“To whom it may concern:
“This is to certify that Miss . . .
has been in our employe since
1953 to March 31, 1954, to our
extreme regret. During her em
ployment with this company she
did everything in her power to
demoralize our sane way of think
ing, at times driving us almost on
the verge of insanity . . .
“Please don’t feel sorry for us
as we won’t feel sorry for you if
you desire to accept her into em
ployment. We no longer remain,
yours faithfully . .
The judge commented: “The
defendant intended it to' be a
jest, but he went too far.”

How much
are Standard’s
owners paid?
75 years ago one of the companies from which
Standard Oil Company of California grew was
formed by five men. In those days smaller com
munities and simpler needs could be served by
concerns owned by one man or a small group.
They furnished all the money—they kept all
the profit, too. But the West grew tremen
dously, and we’ve grown up with the West.
Today, no one man could pay for all the
oil fields, refineries, and other equipment
Standard needs to serve you well. These
investments are shared among Standard’s
112,000 owners. About 97% of these share
holders are private individuals like you—
including 12,000 Standard employees, our
largest single group of owners. In addition,
293 schools and universities are owners of
Standard, along with 224 churches and reli
gious organizations, 165 hospitals and med
ical groups, and 1889 small and large busi
nesses. These are our sole proprietors—we
are neither owned nor controlled by any of
the Standard companies in the East. T.ikp
the proprietors of any company, these
shareholders receive the profits from their
business. Each dollar they have in Standard
is currently earning approximately 10ff a
year. Only about 5e of this is paid to them
in cash. TTie remainder is plowed back into
the business to bring you even better prod
ucts and services ... to stay ahead of com
petition. By planning ahead this way,
Standard grows with the West, keeps pace
with your needs.
