Experts warn of bear danger on campus
By KATE HARMS Whalesong Staff Reporter
"Bears: Caution on Campus" was the subject of a lecture, at the UAJ student housing lodge Wednesday evening by Dave Zim- merman of the State De- partment of Fish and Game and Dr. Robert Fagen, an authority on bear behavior and a professor in the School of Fisheries and Science at UAJ.
The two were asked to speak to housing residents after several recent bear sightings in the vicinity of campus and the housing complex.
"Bears are invading areas where they have not been before due to expansion of human populations and activities in outlying areas of civilization" explained Zimmerman.
THE BEARS AND YOU, a pamphlet published by the Dept. of Fish and Game, was one of the numerous printed items handed out by Zimmerman which describe
dangerous situations and precautions one should take when outdoors to prevent or minimize consequences of an encounter with a bear.
Contact usually results from development of housing in bear's territory. The abundance of berries in this area at this time of year is one of the great attractions for bears, as well as garbage left outside.
Bears are feeding heavily now to store up fat for their winter hibernation. They become much bolder in the vicinity of human habitation if they find anything edible.
A bear unaccustomed to human contact may prefer to avoid humans when aware of their presence. If, however, a bear is surprised. by a person in close proximity he may charge. Zimmerman recommended that students walking to and from campus go in groups of two or more and talk loudly, sing or make rattling noises
If you see a bear in the housing area and you are in a protected situation (in a car or building) Zimmerman suggested throwing rocks at the bear to discourage it from hanging around.
Maulings occur when a bear's "personal space" is threatened or intruded upon. A bear's space varies from bear to bear but generally speaking, a person should try to maintain a 30 foot distance from a bear.
If you see a bear you should stop and back away slowly, urged Zimmerman, because you never know what kind of mood that bear is in or if he/she is on the prowl. Do not do anything to arouse or antagonize a bear when you are in his habitat.
If you are surprised by a bear within ten feet of you, Zimmerman warned, you should immediately squat with your head between your knees and your arms wrapped behind your head.

Whalesong Managing Editor Enrollment at the Uni- versity of Alaska-Juneau for the 1986 fall semester has already surpassed that of the fall of 1985, which was then a record enrollment for UAJ. Although the final figures have yet to be counted, last year's enrollment has been topped with student credit hours up by over 400 hours.
Linda Simpson, UAJ
reg-istrar, is quick to point out that this is an unofficial count, The official totals will be known Friday, Sept. 19. The statistics she gave were only through the 7th day of the semester with three days yet to be tallied.
"It's real encouraging," Simpson said. "Student credit hours have gone up considerably."
Simpson believes the university is turning its profile around, with the
student body becoming more full-time rather than part- time student oriented.
"Everywhere you look there are more bill-time degree students." Simpson stated, More full-time stu- dents means more credit hours.
Simpson thinks the current increase in enrollment could be due to a "whole lot of things." The

By ALICE DA COSTA WHALESONG STAFF REPORTER
The university day care center will be closer to opening once the program coordinator has been chosen, according to Robert Green, a university administrator.
The field of candidates has been narrowed to five and the final steps for hiring the coordinator are in progress.
One candidate had not arrived in the Juneau area until recently, causing the selection process to be held up.
The selected candidate hopefully will be made public by Friday, Sept. 19. This person will then be responsible for initiating the final steps in the opening of the new center.

Student government elections are coming. In past years, this event has virtually eluded the attention of many students.
Whether out of apathy, preoccupation with studies, jobs, family or social lives, UAJ has historically, had elections where a very few have chosen to run for elected office, and a small percentage of students made an appearance at the voting booth.
"Why," many may logically argue, "should I bother to vote when there is only o n e n am e o n the ballot for a position?"
Why indeed?
A more logical surmise might be, "I ought to run for office myself, if I want UAJ's student body to have a legitimate voice in the operations of this campus.”
A very dedicated but small group of students has in the recent past recognized the need for student participation in the formation of a credible, stable university. Those few have given to UAJ a great deal of their time and energy, which might have more pleasurably been spent in other ways. They have done a good job on our behalf.
It is possible, however, that these people might not always be around to serve us. They may graduate, or transfer to other institutions, or quit school. They may perhaps even capitalize on their unchecked power and run USUAJ for th eir own benefit.
Like spoiled children who always have someone to clean up after them and provide the things they need, we have been lucky to have a responsible representative body looking out for us.
They have given us the luxury to be lackadaisical about our own responsibilities as students: to attend and speak up at student government meetings about issues that affect us; to vote for our representatives in office; and even to run for office when any dissatisfaction with the status quo exists.
As a relatively new institution, UAJ has a unique opportunity to develop in whatever direction we choose. Why not have a hand in shaping that future? Please take part in the upcoming election as a candidate or at least as a voter.

In order to better establish communication between campus govern- ments and the United Campuses of Alaska (UCA) representitives, Michael Smith, USUAJ president, is proposing that a leadership conference be hosted by the University of Alaska- Anchorage and the Anch- orage Comunity College campuses.
The meeting should be designed first of all as a tool for acquainting student government leaders, but also should focus on the affirmation of the UCA charter. As the UCA is a newly recognized statewide organi- zation, it is under the scrutiny of the Board of Regents.
This December the UCA will bring the charter and by-laws before the Board of Regents for approval, and it would be desirable to agree
upon a polished final draft. Secretary of State GEORGE SHULTZ
Dear Editor,
As you know, The UAJ Daycare Center will soon be open for business. Like any new business, we've had our share of hitches and delays that have prevented our opening on the first day of the semester. The new coordinator for the center should be on board before the end of this week, so if the tables, chairs, and rest mats arrive soon, we should be able to begin child-care as soon as the day-to-day operation of the center is scheduled and organized. We appreciate your patience.
In order to keep our start-up cost at a minimum we are still looking for donations of toys, art supplies, books and playground equipment. We will be placing a box in the student government office lobby on Saturday, Sept. 20, so donations can be dropped there. Donations of large items can be arranged by calling 789-4715 evenings. Watch for an announcement of our open house celebration. Thanks, Kathryn Daughhettee Chairperson UAJ Daycare Center Advisory Board

UCA: liaison between students and a d m in istr a tio n
By KAREN MARTINSEN Whalesong Staff Reporter
United Campuses of Alaska (UCA), a student information network representing uni- versities throughout the state. monitors admin- istrative activities that affect educational services or needs of students.
David Smith, the UCA representative for UAJ states that the group's main function is to stay abreast of information and act as a liaison between students and administrative bodies at the university level, the State Commission on Post Second- ary Education, and the state legislature.
Smith stresses that UCA aims, to be responsive to those bodies, by being available to assist in decision-making.
Formerly called the Alaska Student Information Net- • work. UCA's top priorities this year are the revision of the group's charter and bylaws, the status of student loans, concerns regarding transfer of credits from community colleges to the four-year institutions, tui- tion fees, and the university budget cuts.
Smith states that UCA will work to maintain the quality of education and student services.
Regarding the budget cuts he says, "we’re not naive about the reality of budget cuts, but we want to have input as to which services are affected."
UCA. which presently consists of representatives from seven campuses in Alaska, will be meeting in
Anchorage during Nov. for a leadership conference. The conference, which will be attended by student government and UCA rep- resentatives. is open to ail students and is. aimed at revising the charter and bylaws for ratification. The group plans to present the revised documents to the University Board of Regents on Dec. 3 for the purpose of formal recognition.
Smith, a recently trans- ferred student from Ketchikan Community College. stresses the importance of maintaining accessibility, and encourages students to contact him at 789-4049 or leave messages at the Student Government Office. 789-4337.

Eddie Rogers
Age: 19 Height: 5'8" Weight: 143 lbs. Home Town: Saginaw, Mighigan By KAREN CUMMINS Whalesong Staff ReporterEddie Rodgers comes tc UAJ from Delta College in Bay City, Michigan majoring in psychology, but thinking about changing to business administration later on. He has no solid plans toward a major.
Rodgers is taking 18 credit hours this semester and confirms that UAJ is everything Coach Markey told him it would be.
After getting used to all the eagles and fu rry creatures in Alaska, Rodgers is concentrating on the real reason he is here...to get an education.
"The coach told me that this would be a great experience for me and I can see already that it is coming true. I am working at housing and making money and becoming more independent each day so I can get money to feed myself and other things. I don't have a car which is good because then I would have to spend this money on gas and other
stuff for the car." Rodgers said. "I'm really trying to do this all on my own so I won't have to call back home and ask for money or help," he added. The way things are going right now, he sees no reason to do so in the future.
When Eddie first heard about Juneau he thought all the "Alaska-type" thoughts about igloos and snow and the other stereotypes about "the great white North."
He did expect much colder weather, again an Alaskan misconception, and thinks about how cold it is back home in Saginaw about now. He does miss his family and friends, he said, and wishes he could have packed up a couple of the parks and brought them with him.
Eddie thinks of himself as outgoing and flexible. He has a hard time saying no, and hopes he is perceived as a nice person. In his spare time he likes to fish, dance, get together with his friends, go on dates, and study, though not necessarily in that order.
When he does have spare time from his 18 hour days, Rodgers also likes to find better ways of shooting basketball.
This season he plans on devoting all his energies to his
education.
“I'm in Alaska now and will giv my all to what I do in education, basketball, or anything else," he said.
Rodgers arrived in Juneau about a week early for the fail semester, and said that still, to this day, does not believe that he is really here.
UAJ Ski Team survives
By JEFF MILLER
Whalesong Managing Editor The University of Alaska, Juneau alpine ski team is alive and kicking. After a very successful season last year with several members placing high at regionals and going to nationals, the ski team was in danger of falling to the budget crunch along with the ski coach position.
However, Jim Dumont, Director of Student Activities, Athletics and Housing says "the university is in the process of finalizing a contractual arrangem ent with the Juneau Ski Club to provide a ski coach for this season."
"We are looking for a person who has coached alpine skiing before or one who has had an excellent racing career and is
interested in coaching," said Dumont.
Dumont added that the contract will provide for Peter Ord, the head coach of the Juneau Ski Club, to oversee the coaching of the UAJ team. Ord is a graduate of Middlebury College which is renowned for its intercollegiate ski program.
The members of the UAJ ski team, as well as Dumont himself, wiH have input into who is chosen to coach.
"The ski team has requested that they (Juneau Ski Club) provide us a coach for three to four months. The ski team feels they don't need a coach before Nov. 13." Dumont said.
Dumont will serve as advisor and coordinate with the ski team to determine its goals for the season. He will also make sure they meet eligibility requirements.
Dry land workouts begin Sept. 20 with the team training on its own. Melanie Gerber, a member of the 1984-85 team returning to join this year's team, volunteered to help coordi- nate this effort.
Women
superior
LOUDONVILLE, NY (CPS) Women get higher grades than men, and probably do better in college because they mature faster, says a six-year study by a sociology professor at Siena College in upstate New York.
"Women students consis- tently did better (at college) than did the men students," says Professor Paul Murray, "luring their four years at school, women seem to improve their study habits. The men don't."
"It appears," he says, "that sometimes the academic end of college becomes a secondary pursuit for males."
Murray, in trying to figure out why some students got better grades than others, examined students' academic and family backgrounds, living arrangements. extracur- ricular activities and study habits before noticing that gender seemd to influence their grades most of all.
No one is sure why women get better college grades than men, but Dr. Cynthia Secor, director of Higher Education Resources Services Mid America, hypothesises it may have something to do with the way people become socialized.
"Girls are socialized to be more verbal, more detailed and polite," Secor explains. "Girls are socialized to be not as rambunctious as boys."
Women scored higher in Murray's classes than male
students did, and the disparity, he says, is much wider in upperclassmen."
Although she does not disagree with many of Murray's findings, Secor adds, "The real difference (in performances) is when both get out in the real work world."
“Women do better in school gradewise than men, and then don't do as well in the real world," she contends. "Men will achieve more there.”
Vhen he started, Murray hoped to find the characteristics that se- parated students who did well in college from those who didn't."
"My original focus was to make only incidental reference to sex differen- ces," Murray says, "but it began to appear that this was the most significant finding. There is a sex difference on almost every variable."
For example, the study shows the sons of working mothers scored lower than boys whose mothers didn't work outside the home.
But women with working mothers scored higher on Murray's tests than women whose mothers stayed home. Secor believes women emulate working mothers and learn that, "It's okay to succeed if you work."
Murray's tests also indicate middle-income fam- ilies produce high scoring children, be they male or female. Yet male students from upper-income families achieved the lowest scores of all.
"Well, they have it made in the shade." Secor says, laughing. "If you were single, white, rich and good-looking, would you work?"
A Rash of recent sunny weather drew a number of "aquatic sportsmen" to Auke lake during the week. The weather service predicted fair skies over the weekend.

Exit interviews reveal much about
university
By JOLIE SASSEVILLE Whalesong Editor
Six graduating honors students of the University of Alaska-Juneau participated in a May 2 exit interview with former chancellor Michael Paradise.
During the hour-long session, the students offered their comments on issues affecting the quality of their educational experiences at UAJ.
Unanimously, these stu- dents supported the idea of campus centralization, fueling that the scattered location of university facilities presents both logistical and morale prob-lem
s.
"Classes at the high school are a real drag," one student is reported to have commented.
The location of the School of Business at the Bill Ray Center in town also was seen as a hindrance to student life.
"The School of Business is totally cut out of things," a student commented. The graduates added that students at the Bill Ray Center don't find out about such aspects of campus life as the study center, library and student activities.
A summary of the students' remarks was distributed to vice chan- cellors, deans and other administrators on May 14.
Disappointment with the scheduling of classes surfaced throughout the session, although there were conflicting reasons for that dissatisfaction. Some students commented that there were too many evening classes and not enough offered during the day.
Students holding jobs during the day, felt that daytime classes presented problems for them in planning their class schedules.
There was concensus, however, on the subject of class sequencing. It was agreed that students became frustrated because they could not rely on having the
classes required of their degree programs offered with any predictability.
The departing students did have some positive reactions to UAJ.
"The study center needs to be advertised more. The service helps returning adult students feel more secure," a student said.
The graduates also had
words of praise for the new housing facilities, saying that it provides a sense of unity and promotes the feeling that UAJ has a "real student body."
Michael Mulnix, director of university relations, said he feels the exit interview was a worthwhile exercise and one that ought to be continued.
Museum sponsors exhibition
By JOLIE SASSEVILLE Whalesong Editor
The Alaska State Museum is sponsoring the Juneau appearance of the 21st Annual All-Alaska Juried Art Exhibition. The exhibit will be held in the Jordan Creek Mall Sept. 19 through Oct. 26.
The show is free to the public and will be open from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
The competition, open to artists working in a variety of media, is held each spring by the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. After its Anchorage exhibition, the show travels throughout the state for the remainder of the year.
Awards were made in the categories of painting, photography, prints, sculp- ture and watercolor. No award was made this year in the mixed media category.
The juror for this year’s exhibit was Thomas Garver, director of the Madison Art Center in Madison. Wisconsin. Garver selected 23 works from among 813 slides submitted to him. He then reviewed and made his final selections from those works at the Anchorage Museum.
"What often strikes my eye is the way in which the best artists in this and other such exhibitions take certain issues of art and bend them to fit a truly regional expression," Garver wrote in his juror's statement about the exhibit.
The Juror's Choice award,
the top honor in a juried exhibition, went to Leon Anderson for his "Relocation: Dream Space," an oil painting on paper.
Of the 413 pieces selected by Garver for the exhibition, 44 are included in the traveling exhibit on view at the Jordan Creek Mall.

marine adds UAJ to
list o f experiences
By MISHY MADSEN Whalesong Staff Reporter
Among the applications for day care at UAJ’s new day care facility was one submitted by Joseph Fique Ronne, age 69. Joe asked for eight full days of care a week. When asked about his request, Joe said he was just joking and that one of his roommates must have turned it in.
During the interview with Joe, his roommates tried to s it quietly in the background eating or studying. When asked what he thought about his room-mates. Joe said that they “are the best of the college." The four of them have shared the same apartment since Student Housing opened last Fall.
Joe transferred to UAJ from the Kenai Pennisula College last year. He has lived in Kenai off and on for forty-seven years.
Since 1941 Joe has lived in Lowing, located on mi. 23 of the Seward Highway. When school is not in session, Joe heads back to Lawing to spend time with his wife, Mary.
Joe is now retired "from fifty years at sea" in the Merchant Marines. "I went from deck boy to Master," said Joe. He has had many experiences at sea including one during which he lost part of his left ring finger. According to Joe, he loot it under a two ton beam
off a ship that fell on it. He caught his little finger of the same hand under the beam too. but did not lose his little finger.
Joe started back to school in 1932 after he retired . He came back to school because he "wanted to learn a little more about English." Of previous education Joe comments. "I went to seventeen schools in four different countries." A ll of these schools were "prep" schools located in Belgium, England, Canada, and the United States. Joe also commented that Joe has traveled all over the world from east to west and says, "I like Alaska." He claims he will never live anywhere else although he does go to Europe about every two years.
Joe is working towards his Bachelor of Liberal A rts and hopes to graduate this spring. He is currently carrying twelve credits and concentrating prim arily in English. He has been offered a few jobs teaching but is thinking about getting his Masters degree first. If Joe does decide to teach, he will stay in the University of Alaska system but a little farther North.
Joe enjoys going to school and seems to enjoy Juneau. When asked what he thinks of Juneau. Joe replied. "Juneau is like Sausolito with ice." Sausolito is located In California across the bay from San Francisco. So, when it gets too cold this winter maybe we should all head for Sausolito?

Bears. . . .
Stay in this position as long as you suspect the bear is still nearby.
Above all, do not run. This would excite the bear and likely provoke it to charge after you. Bears have been clocked at 30 miles per hour loping in their own terrain. Climbing a tree will protect you from brown bears but since black bears climb
trees, and have been known to climb after a person, this is not a safe avenue of escape, Zimmerman stated.
Last year five bears were destroyed by. the Fish and Game Dept, because they became dangerous nuisances to residential neighbor- hoods. Bears become dan- gerous when they learn that they can often find food in outdoor trash cans in a certain neighborhood and they make a regular habit of visiting these sites, Zimmerman reported.
Bears become less
intimi-dated by the presence of humans and become quite daring and aggressive in their quest for food. This year to date three bears have been destroyed.
Rubber bullets are used as bear deterrants by police and residents of outlying areas to frighten bears away and discourage them from, returning, Zimmerman said.
He showed some varieties of these harmless missiles as well as a small flare pistol. Zimmerman added th a t the best deterrent is the rubber bullet enclosed in a shotgun shell for a 12 guage shotgun, or a firecracker shell shot out of any shotgun.
Zimmerman emphasized the importance of having adequate protection from bears when in the wilderness, recommending a 30.06 as the smallest caliber adequate to kill a bear in the event of an attack.
"Don't ever imitate a
bear’s actions", Zimmerman stressed, and "do keep dogs on leashes" for their own protection and yours.
If you are being charged or pursued by a bear, and must shoot, shoot low in his neck or high in the shoulder, Zimmerman said, for best chance of killing or disabling the bear before he gets to you.
Fagen explained that bears are individuals, like humans, and are also subject to a heirarchy in their territory that influences the individual’s behavior and reactions to invasions of space or surprise encounter.
Since UAJ offers a "world class" opportunity to study bears in their natural habitat, he and his wife, Johanna and their small son have spent two summers watching brown bears in the Pack Creek area of Admiralty Island, known as the "Fortress of the Bears" by its
native name.
Fagen said brown bears have strong family relationships and young bears stay with their mothers for their first three summers.
Bears begin to den in mid- October and the last of them are usually asleep by mid-December but will come out sometime during the w inter months if there are several days of thawing weather, Fagan said.
Fagan showed slides and video film of the bears in the Pack Creek area, and explained their behavior and habits, some of which were quite comical and some frightening.
"Under the right circum- stances". Fagen concluded, "any bear is capable of killing any human regardless of experience or caution."

effort the school has made in the past two years at class sequencing, making more classes available during the day for full-time students, may be a big reason. The economy is also a reason."Historically, that is what happens.” Simpson said. "The economy goes down and people have more time on their hands."
Simpson thought the in- creased visibility of UAJ could also be a big reason for the enrollment jump. UAJs repu-tation is improving; it is becoming better known, not only locally but statewide.
