...Legislature had given its university next to nothing for two years, and the regents have had to borrow $225,000 so far to pay off fuel bills and salaries. To Terris Moore, Charles Bunnell made a pledge: "We will not permit the university to close, if we have to go to the people who believe in Alaska and borrow our needs in ten and twenty dollar bills...
