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 !

Dissecting Joe Student What makes the UAF student different from his collegiate peers across the country? It ' s hard to pin down some of the intangibles — how can you measure a college community on a scale of mellow or laid back ? How do you identify the average student at a university whose diversity is a hallmark? Well, we couldn ' t do it without sponsoring an essay contest on the topic, and who would want to wade through all those papers anyway? But we did send reporter Paul Gruba out to identify some of the characteristics of that elusive creature, the average UAF student. Here are a few. UAF has 25.5 miles of designated ski trails. However winter canoeing is virtually unknown. (In other words, we forgot why we put this paddle in the picture.) UAF students take an average of 5.5 years to graduate. Listed in order, the three most popular majors at UAF are Business Administration, Education and Biology. The Average student breakfast at the Commons consists of: 13.5 oz. juice, 9.5 oz. milk, 4 oz. coffee, 2 oz. tea soft drink, 1.5 oz. cold cereal, 2.5 oz. meat, 2 oz. scramlbed egg, 3 4 oz. fresh egg 1 3 omelette, 2.5 oz. hash browns, 3 4 slice of bread, one pastry, and one piece of fruit. The average winter temperature in the Fairbanks area is 11.9 degrees Farenheit. It costs $51,783 per day to run UAF. Although 51 percent of the lower division students are female, 55 percent of the up- per division students are male. About 60 percent of the 1,349 dorm residents are males. Last semester 34,135 books were checked out at Rasmunson Library. 818 transactions are made daily at the Wood Center Desk. Half of the purchases are of candy. An average of 35 people play pool each day at Wood Center. Photo by Mike Belrose 84 percent of UAF students are Alaska residents, and 22 percent are from other places. Headlines 25
