PRICES GOING DOWN? According to the latest release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, consumer prices in Juneau declined 0.3 percent between March and June of last year. During the same period the prices in Anchorage went up 0.4 percent, and increased 0.1 percent in Fairbanks. The decrease for Juneau was attributed by the bureau to the season decline in electric rates and lower prices for fuel oil However, since March, 1943, according to the advanced approximately 2.3 percent in Juneau and Fairbanks and 4.7 percent in Anchorage. sts in Anchorage for the quarter end- ing June 15, increased 0.4 percent because of 4.2 percent inc: in the prices of fresh fruits and ' vegetables. In Juneau costs were kept practically the same because of lower prices for fats and oils, eggs and dairy products.

Commissioner Brophy has agreed to include in his budget for the 1946-47 fiscal year request for funds for building and operating a sanatorium in Southeast Alaska, the first of three such permanent hospitals to be used for the care of natives. And at the same time the Territory of Alaska will be able to hospitalize whites in the OIA sanatorium under contractual agreement whereby the Territory pays for the care of the whites. The part Alaskans can play in seeing that this program becomes an actuality is to be explained by Dr. Alprecht tonight. It involves the building up of field, and largely to independent studies within that major field. | In other words, students are not to take mere| “courses,” but rather are to pursue a subject of! primary interest. They will have guidance and help from their faculty members, but the work will be their own. On graduation, the student should be able to! tackle a problem, dig into it, master the available! material, and prepare an orderly, vigorous analysis, written in understandable English. This is a long step forward from the concept of | a university as a department store of learning, where | the student could pass through lightly, picking a bit of | information off the shelf here and there, and winding | up after four years with a ludicrous combination of | unrelated fragments of knowledge.
