KU Graduates Own Only Alaska Advertising Agency
"It's easy to start a business on your own without any capital behind you in Alaska," said Mrs. Rita Roney Hunt, '52 KU graduate in home economics-journalism, who has started the Hunt Advertising Agency in Anchorage with her husband Glen Hunt, a '51 graduate. It is the only advertising agency in Alaska.
"We had not had contact with an advertising agency before," she said, "but Glen has been a radio announcer and had sold advertising for newspapers, and I had worked for the Lawrence Outlook while at KU."
The U.S. Army sent the Hunts to Alaska in 1952, and when Glen was discharged in 1953, they decided to stay permanently; Mrs. Hunt worked for the News Air Company in Anchorage until they opened their advertising agency last May. "We handle local retail accounts for radio, television, newspapers, and sales promotion," she said. They are hoping to get some national accounts soon.
Many Midwesterners
"Anchorage is a community of young people with the average age of the businessman 35," Mrs. Hunt said. "There are many privately owned businesses in Anchorage, and experience is gained quickly."
Many Midwesterners "There are 10 or 12 couples from KU in Anchorage." Mrs. Hunt said, "and many Midwesterners." The Hunts helped organize a reception recently for Kansas Senator Andrew Schoeppel, which 75 people attended.
Concerning statehood for Alaska, Mrs. Hunt said that the politicians wanted it badly, but that they could not get Washington interested enough in the territory. "We need more industries because we can't support ourselves," Mrs. Hunt said. "About 90 per cent of the food and much of the fuel are sent from the states, making the cost of living higher. A loaf of bread costs 45 cents and a quart of milk 40 cents in Anchorage, and a house that would cost $12,000 here would cost about $22,000 there."
"The average winter temperature is about 20 degrees and in the summer it gets up above 80 degrees." Mrs. Hunt said. Spring and fall are the rainy seasons and the summer growing season is very fast.
"We have two children, both born in Alaska. Debora is two and Steven Roney is nine months. Both our parents live in Lawrence."
Mrs. Hunt's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Roney live on Route 3. Mr. Hunt's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Hunt live at 2116 Massachusetts St.

BOO BOOS
Aesop—A few jazz eras ago there abided in the land of oooobla dee a chick by the handle of "Lady in Red." Red was a cool doll with a terrific set of pins—her cupboard definitely wasn't bare.
One early mom around 11:30, early for any gal to be out, after a spiked tart party at little Jack Horner's Corner Club, Red was footing it towards her Grandma's house. To put it mildly the ole doll was having no end of trouble pulling out of a hangover brought about by drinking a local mix tagged "HOOD A HAND-FUL!" Her bleached hair was turning gray and her mouth felt like she had been licking Lithuanian postage stamps.
Red had in her shoulder bag a few pick ups in the form of a choking coke. (It gags you with refreshment.) Hotfooting the concrete, Red decided she'd pass thru a local pad, monickered the JAYHAWK.
What these two cats weren't wise to, was that ma was just coming into the same pad.
Pal Paul was cooling his heels in one of the many plush pockets to be found in this chin and chop joint. When Red trips the light fantastic right under his nose, he was on his dogs, slipped into his shoulders, draped his chain, reached for his bop glasses and double-timed it up to her right.
"To say the least, gal, you are absolutely the most," says PAL PAUL. "You'll do yourself but, I'm wise to the likes of youse guys," says Red. "You have me down all goof, I'm as straight as Rudolph, and am only chinning up with you to pass these wee early hours." "What's this you're toting?" "Just a few pick ups for great mater who made a boo boo and missed her point at a local
shindig last dark. She's slightly over in the rough."
Gleaming this, PAL PAUL skids up and. . . "Ma you look to be on the up and up and I could spring for you in a huge way." Ma, no amateur herself, says, "You grab me as a fair operator, suppose we break lids on a few tall ones" and with this bit they both did a fade-out leaving poor Red wishing she had read a little more of Dale Carnegie.
And so Cats—The fiber of this fable is—A pick me up is not always in the bag.
