ping green, yellow, pink, brown
and red coloring capsules through

ful, but dirty work.

Olympia Court
Refuses To Grant
Indian Special Rights
OLYMPIA, Wash., IP — The
State Supreme Court declined
last Friday to halt the first de
gree murder trial of Harold Wil
liam Jones, scheduled to start in
Tacoma today.
Jones, a Kasanan Indian from
Alaska, is accused of the slaying
of Travis Bookter Halstead, a
transient, in a hobo jungle fight
in Pierce County last March.
Attorneys for Jones asked the
high court to issue a writ of pro
hibition to block the Superior
Court trial on grounds Jones is
an Indian and the slaying alleg
edly took place on the Puyallup
Indian reservation.
They contended he should be
tried in Federal Court.

U of A On-Campus
Enrollment At
All-Time High
On campus student endollment
reached an all-time high of 693 at
the close of late registration
Thursday for the University of
Alaska, according to figures re
leased by Mrs. Laura Jones, reg
istrar. Total enrollment for the
1957-58 school year was 698.
If enrollment trends continue
this record will be increased by
100 when registration is com
pleted for second semester in
January, 1959. Compared with
first semester enrollment figures
of the past three years, this rep
resents an increase of more than i
200 students since 1955: first se
mester enrollment, 1957—590;
1956—531, and 1955—456.
A new 100-man residence hall
will be ready for occupancy the
end of this month; and it will be
comfortable filled with overflow
students now staying in Club
Dorm and doubled up in single
rooms in McIntosh, Nerland, and
Hess residence halls.
Looking ahead to first semes
ter registration in 1959, Univer
sity officials know the squeeze
will be on again for residence
hall space unless another men’s
residence is completed by that
time. The problem appears par
ticularly acute since it is antici
pated that Hess hall, originally a
women’s residence, will have to
be reopened for women to care
for the increased female enroll
ment. University officials are
planning ahead for enrollments
which they know will continue
to set new records. With this in
crease comes the necessity of ex
panding food service facilities
and laboratory and classroom
space.
