Dental School lays a foundation

90 years ago this week (Janu-
ary 15, 1922): Construction began
on an addition to the School of Den-
tistry building, located on North
University Avenue.
The addition totaled three floors
of improvements that included the
implementation of lockerrooms,
storage units and laboratories in
the basement. An amphitheater and
lecture hall were also added on the
first floor, according to The Michi-
gan Daily. The entire second floor
was reserved for operating and dis-
pensingrooms.
The Daily reported that con-
struction crews installed the
foundation as deep as 20 feet under-
ground, "in order to gain a firm bed-
ding for the construction."
70years agothis week (January

17, 1942): The University's response
to World War II was strengthened
by introducing new courses for
women, designed to meet the mili-
tary's growing demand for nurses.
"The Army and Navy alone have
indicated that they will need 10,000
additional registered nurses," the
Daily reported.
The University War Board also
instituted courses to meet the
growing demand for dietitians,
nursery workers and secretarial
professionals. The courses were
designed to demonstrate that
"American women enter this war
with a man's share of its respon-
sibilities," according to the Daily
article.
50 years ago this week (Janu-
ary 18, 1962): The University con-

gratulated 45 new Peace Corps
members as they departed from the
Michigan Union at 8:15 a.m., bound
for two years of service in Thailand,
accordingto the Daily.
Peace Corps director R. Ser-
geant Shriver, and His Excellency
Visutr Arthayukti, Ambassador of
Thailand, were both present at a
banquet commemorating the end
of a 13-week training course for the
members.
The Daily described the group's
objective as working "in coop-
eration with the Thai government
to lower incidence of malaria,
improve general health, teach Eng-
lish as a foreign language and bet-
ter instructional methods in higher
education."

Sarkozy shrugs off French
government credit downgrade !,

Finance minister
diasgrees, says
rating change is
"bad news"
MADRID (AP) - French
President Nicolas Sarkozy
bluntly declared yesterday that
a harsh downgrade by Standard
& Poor's of France's formerly
top-rung debt rating "changes
nothing" for the eurozone's No.
2 economy.
Sarkozy, in a snippy exchange
with a journalist at a Madrid
news conference, suggested
that a solid investor demand
for a French debt auction yes-
terday and a reaffirmation from
rival ratings agency Moody's of
France's triple-A sovereign debt
had offset S&P's much-publi-
cized downgrade.

Ship supplies diesel
and gasoline to
town's ailing supply
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -
Crews began transferring 1.3 mil-
lion gallons of fuel yesterday from
a Russian fuel tanker to the iced-
in western Alaska city of Nome.
The offloading began near
sundown, said Stacey Smith of
Vitus Marine, the fuel supplier
that arranged to have the Rus-
sian tanker Renda and its crew
deliver the gasoline and diesel
fuel. The process began after
crews safety-tested two transfer
hoses with pressurized air.
Earlier, crews laid the hoses
along a stretch of Bering Sea ice.
On yesterday, they hooked the
hoses to a pipeline that begins on
a rock causeway 550 yards from
the tanker, which is moored
about half a mile offshore, said
Jason Evans, board chairman of
the Sitnasuak Native Corp.
Sitnasuak owns the local fuel
company, Bonanza Fuel, and has
been working closely with Vitus
Marine. The pipeline leads to
storage tanks in town.
Smith said the transfer began
with one hose to see how the fuel
flowed. She expected the second
hose to begin flowing soon after.

State officials said the transfer
must start during daylight, but
can continue in darkness. Nome
has just five hours of daylight
this time of year.
The transfer could be finished
within 36 hours if everything
goes smoothly, but it could take
as long as five days.
The Renda got into position
Saturday night after a Coast
Guard icebreaker cleared a path
for it through hundreds of miles
of a slow journey stalled by thick
ice and strong ocean currents.
Before the hoses could be laid
out, the ice disturbed by the
tanker's journey had to freeze
again so workers could create
some sort of roadway.
Smith said the effort is a third
of the way into completion with
the arrival of the Renda to Nome.
Pumping the fuelfrom the tank-
er will be the second part. The
third part will be the exiting
through ice by the two ships.
"It's just been an absolutely
grand collaboration by all par-
ties involved," she said of the
work accomplished so far.
The city of 3,500 didn't get its
last pre-winter barge fuel deliv-
ery because of a massive Novem-
ber storm.
Without the Renda's deliv-
ery, Nome would run out of fuel
by March or April, long before

the next barge delivery is pos-
sible after one of the most severe
Alaska winters in decades. Snow
has piled up 10 feet or higher
against the wood-sided buildings
in Nome, a former gold rush town
that is the final stop on the 1,150-
mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
The 370-foot tanker began
its journey from Russia in mid-
December, picking up diesel fuel
in South Korea before heading
to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, where
it took on unleaded gasoline. It
arrived late last week off Nome
on Alaska's west coast more than
500 miles from Anchorage.
In total, the tanker traveled
an estimated 5,000 miles, said
Rear Adm. Thomas Ostebo, com-
mander of District Seventeen
with the Coast Guard.
Personnel will walk the entire
length of hosing every 30 min-
utes to check for leaks, Evans
said. Each segment of hose has
its own spill containment area,
and extra absorbent boom will
be on hand in case of a spill.
The Coast Guard is monitor-
ing the effort, working with state,
federal, local and tribal represen-
tatives, Chief Petty Officer Kip
Wadlow said. The fuel partici-
pants had to submit a plan to state
environmental regulators on how
they intended to get the fuel off
the Renda, he said.

Greg Walker, with the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, prepares an Aeryon Scout unmanned aerial vehicle at the Nome
causeway to gather intel for the planned fuel transfer from a Russian tanker loaded with fuel for delivery to Nome.
