UAF Freshman Named Miss Alaska When Amy Harms was one month old, a soothsayer told her father a member of his family would achieve respect and fame someday. Harms may be on her way to fulfilling that prophecy after being crowned Miss Alaska U.S.A. on February 5. She went on to compete in the Miss U.S.A. pageant in Biloxi Miss., in May. The 18-year-old UAF freshman, majoring in broadcast journalism, lives on campus with her family. Her father, Roger Harms, is special assistant to university President Jay Barton. Harms said this was the first pageant she ever entered; she would not have entered if her mother hadn ' t brought it to her attention in January. The reason I entered was because I ' m in broadcasting; it would be good exposure to be in public. I also like to meet people, and since I enjoy participating in community services, I figure the title will attract people to events, Harms said. The pageant was really a lot of fun. I met some really great people. I didn ' t go into it with the attitude that I had to win, she said. When the judges asked me what would happen if I didn ' t win, I said ' Well, I ' m not Miss Alaska today and if I don ' t win I just won ' t be it tomorrow. ' Because her father was in the Army, her family moved around to various Army bases. She attended first grade in Anchorage in 1968 and has lived in 11 different states. Harms attended Fletcher High School in Jacksonville, Fla., and after graduation came to Fairbanks to attend UAF in July 1982. Although she had only been in Alaska for seven months, she felt qualified to represent Alaska in the Miss U.S.A. pageant.

I ' d like to show people in Biloxi that the people here in Alaska are warmhearted and that the whole state doesn ' t just have igloos. Harms ' duties started soon after the pageant. February 10 she went to a dinner sponsored by Sen. Stevens, and February 19 she went down to Anchorage to be in the Fur Rendevous parade. asL, ASUA Midnight Movies and The Pub bring vou a DIVINE weekend !

KSUA Continued from page 18 According to the audit, problems with financial records and procedures included lost or discarded program logs, incomplete accounts receivable and customer records, significant contractual commitments made without the approval of ASUA, the university or legal counsel, lack of advance budget or purchase approval, no cash receipts issued for funds received, and overpayment of some ad commissions. In defense of the former management, Tilson said the audit ' s comment that receipts and disbursements were treated in a casual manner means we got around their mountains and piles of paperwork that were administratively strangling the station, and I ' m damn proud of it... We wouldn ' t have done this if we hadn ' t thought it necessary. Tilson and Erisman said that former ASUA president Jason Kuehn authorized many contracts made by the station and told Erisman he had the authority to enter the station in legal contracts. They also said they were never informed they had to have approval from the university. Concerning records r etention, Erisman said, We have never been required to keep records at the station. Temporary employees moving things around last summer may have misplaced or thrown out files, he said. To keep records adequately the station would have to hire a full-time person to do it, he added. Asked if, given the power of hindsight, they would have done anything dif- ferently Tilson replied, We would have covered our butt on it. We would have had the off-campus checking account approved by Jason. We would have done everything else the same. Pat Sutherland, a graduate student at UAF, become the new general manager of KSUA. He put together a new management team to tackle problems caused by the sudden departure of the former management. We walked in here and knew where nothing was, Sutherland said. They had to develop a system to reorganize the files, and Sutherland had to recruit new help and get a handle on the budget. He cut the budget by reducing the number of paid positions to eight, half the previous number. The budget was also helped by the sale of $800 in advertising WOOD CENTER RENTALS Coleman Canoes $9.00 day $16. 00 weekend $38.00 week $100.00 deposit required per canoe package.

When Sutherland took over the station last October, five months into the fiscal year, the previous management had only earned one percent of the expected $16,000 revenue. In a memorandum to ASUA president John DiBene, Sutherland said that KSUA ' s advertising income should have been $3,500 when he took over. He based that estimate on the fact that the station had been broadcasting since June 1982 under the FY ' 83 budget, and that since he took over the station averaged more than $425 per month in sales. Asked about the open-air project, Sutherland said it is long overdue. I ' m puzzled as to why the station hasn ' t gone on the air long ago as a ' non-commercial ' station, he said. He hesitated to criticize the past management, but confessed that he didn ' t see the results of two years ' work on the project. Even if we were ready to file today, which we are not, it would take a minimum of 10 to 12 months for the FCC to process the application. So talk of being on the air by ' X ' date is premature, he added. Loan Continued from page 18 proposed substitute ties an 8 percent interest rate to a forgiveness clause based on residency after graduation. Other provisions require that applica- tions be in by Jan. 1 and that borrowers not be delinquent on previous loans. The bill does not change either the loan amounts or the forgiveness clause. The student loan program, which now totals about $55 million, will run to $116 million by 1988-89 under the current program, according to Postsecondary Commission projections. With a 9 percent interest rate and no forgiveness clause the program would cost $112 million in 1988-89, according to the same projections.
