Robson status rapped State Larry Carpenter, R- Fairbanks, today called for suspended Districl Court Judge Arthur Robson to "voluntarily resign his seal on the bench." The News-Miner reported recently that Robson was still drawing his $41,000 a year annual salary despite his conviction on a felony charge seven weeksago. "I think it's absurd for State Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Boochever to keep a convicted felon on his court payroll," Carpenter said in a news release today. "If Boochever feels the present law compels him to do so, then I would hope he Is proposing legislation which could remedy this absurdity.

And I trust he has asked Robson to voluntarily resign his position." Carpenter said he felt Robson's resignation would do much to upgrade what he believes to be the public's low opinion of the title courts. Police roundup Daily News-Miner, Fairbanks, Alaska, Thursday, Jan. Two injured when avitos on Steese meet head-on I A PLIGHT A i a i technology instructor Bill Lex sits next to the $57,000 general aviation trainer recently acquired by the Tanana Valley Community College. The flight simulator's controls and instruments respond much the same as those in airplanes. Pholo lv Chris Anderson! Tanana College students fly while on the ground There's only one place in town where you can take an airplane without leaving the ground.

A $57,000 flight simulator in the Chapman Building on the University of Alaska campus gives Tanana Valley Community College students in aviation technology a chance lo gain practical flight experience without actually flying. The use of simulators is becoming more and more common because of the high cost of actual flighl time, according lo aviation technology coordinator Brad Reed. "I think the value of this thing is lhat you can give a guy procedures that you can't try in Ihe air because it's too dangerous," he said. Reed says Ihere are two other flight simulators that he knows of in the stale. The one here is Ihe most sophisticated, he added.

The real advantage that it provides is in training on flight instruments and il is basically equivalenl in its performance (o a Cessna 172 he said. The instruments are connected to a computer and after starling the "engine" and "taking off," they respond in much Ihe same way as (hey do in an airplane. The simulator doesn't leave (he ground, but it does roll, yaw and pjtch. And when a student is at the controls with door closed, he can nol see MUS to sell remainder of construction bonds Unfinished business, $3.5 million worth, will be concluded Monday when MUS sells the remainder of million in revenue bonds budgeted for construction in 1976. Only $8.5 million of Ihe bonds budgeted last spring were sold due to Ihe state of Ihe bond market and poor revenue projections for MUS, which indicated the utility would nol be able lo pay interest on them.

Since October, however, increased utility rales have allowed MUS lo an- licipate selling the remaining bonds and the utilities were able to borrow SI.5 million in anticipation of Ihe bond sale. This money was used to finance ongoing conslruction. The $3.5 million, which will be sold by bid Monday, will be used (or construction projecls in 197(5 such as lelephone expansion in Ihe central office and (he parlially completed Steese exchange. Also covered are electric department expansions, which were made in 1976. MUS Controller Fred Brantingham said that unless additiooal revenue can be found, no more bonds will be sold this year.

That would put a freeze on additional utilities conslruction. Former resident dies in Seattle Alice Smith, 75, a 15-year resident of Fairbanks, died last Friday in Seattle. Mrs. Smith was stricken with a heart attack on Dec. 28 and was rushed to North Gate Hospital in Seattle where she remained in intensive care until her death, according to a friend, Fairbanksan Cecilia Erichson.

Bad wealher, strong turbulence and other real flying conditions can be simulaled and the studenl must "fly" the simulator as if he were actually in the air and not in a blue-carpeted room in the Chapman Building. In fact the instructor who sils just outside the cockpit can "load a guy up with problems to where he can't handle il," Reed said. For instrument training, one hour in the simulator is worth about Ihree hours of actual Might time, he said.
