Methodist Church and represen
tative outstanding citizens, met
with Bob Meyers, representing the
Alaska Methodist University, on

of the plans for the opening of the

One thousand willing workers
have already been recruited in
Anchorage and in Fairbanks. The
project is headed by Bishop Gor
don of the Episcopal Church.
Chairman for the Nome area
has been announced, to be Robert
Reed, administrator of the MMM
Hospital, and committees will be
announced next week.
Mr. Meyers explained the fi
nancial status of the AMU, and
explained outstanding teachers
will be on the faculty of the new
school, and also expressed appre
ciation to Dean Patty of the Uni
versity of Alaska, for his advice
and cooperation.
The local drive for dormitory
funds is scheduled for March 24,
at which time the acting president
of AMU and other officials will
be here to assist. ,
