Fairbanks Dormitory for Native
Pupils Planned Starting in 1959;
Four Arctic Schools Also Planned
JUNEAU, UP)—Plans for con
struction of a dormitory to house
80 native boys and girls who will
attend Fairbanks High School
starting in 1959 were announced
this week by the Alaska Native
Service.
Marvin G. Ripke, assistant area
director for the ANS, said an
$80,000 appropriation had been
obtained for the design and plan
ning of the building, which will
be constructed near the Fairbanks
high school.
Ripke said authority for the
dormitory design pointed toward
allocation next year of $1,168,000
in federal funds for actual con
struction of the building.
New Classrooms
Mex Penrod, educational direc
tor for the ANS, said approval
also was being sought for funds
to build four new classrooms on
the Fairbanks school to provide
increased facilities which will be
needed for the integration of the
native youngsters in the present
school building.
When completed, the facilities
will be the first step in a major
federal Bureau of Indian Affairs
program to provide additional ed
ucational opportunities for Alas
ka’s native youth.
Outside of public school facili
ties in major cities in the terri
| tory, the only general high school
[ instruction open to natives now
is at Mt. Edgecumbe, Penrod said.
Long-Range Program
“The integration program at
Fairbanks,” he said, “is to open
educational opportunities to na
tives in remote areas in a long
range program to develop native
teachers, engineers, nurses and
business people.”
He said the dormitory at Fair
banks will house 40 boys and 40
girls of junior and senior high
school level who have been care
fully selected from throughout
the territory. They will be chosen
on a competitive basis.
The first group will come from
among youngsters who have com- j
pleted the first two years of high
school at Mt. Edgecumbe, Penrod
said.
Is Hoped Eventually
“For some time to come,’ he
said, “it will be necessary for the
youngsters to spend their first
two years at Mt. Edgecumbe be
fore continuing at Fairbanks.”
It is hoped eventually, Penrod
and Ripke said, that regional high
schools of at least the ninth and
tenth grades will be constructed
at Kotzebue, Barrow, Unalakleet
and Hooper Bay. Schools with
classes thru the eighth grade are
now in operation at those towns.

Judge Fines
FBI Agent $1,000
For ‘Defiance’
BOWLING GBEEN, Ky., (ffv—
Federal District Judge Mac Swin
ford Wednesday called an FBI
agent’s refusal to turn over his
records to the court in an alleged
fraud case “defiance of the worst
kind,” and fined the agent $1,000.
Judge Swinford voiced his re
luctance to fine agent Marcus
Wallace, but said a recent Su
preme Court decision relating to
FBI records must be followed in
the case.
The Supreme Court ruled on
June 3 that the government must
make available to defendants in
formation In FBI or other files
obtained from persons it wishes
to use as witnesses in a criminal
case. Otherwise, the court said,
the prosecution must be dropped.
FBI Agent Wallace said he re
fused to hand over the records on
the advice of the Attorney Gener
al’s Office in Washington. In view
I of that, the judge said, he would
| wait until Oct. 13 to impose sen
I tence. The judge gave the agent
that amount of time to confer
J “again with your superiors.”
; The fine came as E. H. Hall, a
j local contractor, went on trial on j
j a charge of filing false statements
| and documents to obtain FHA;
loans.
