COMPLETELY educational films

definite type or schedule of edu

The studios of KUON will be lo

For some time, broadcasting
will be done with equipment and

Chancellor Clifford Hardin said
the University has "several edu

"we will not use any additional

A Word From
Chancellor Hardin
It seems unusual for me, a first-year man, to be welcoming stu
dents who have been on our campuses longer than I have. I have,
however, spent the summer here so at least I can sav, "Welcome
Back!"
Mrs. Hardin and I have met many of you who are freshmen
and transfer students. As the year moves along, we hope to meet
more and more of you in person.
I suspect that you upperclassmen have sensed that we have
an excellent group of freshmen. Already I have asked a favor of
them. I asked their cooperation in helping us make ours the friend
liest campuses in the world. We want this University community
to have a pleasant spirit about it. We want it to continue to be a
good place to live and work.
So let's keep the lines of communication open. Lefs exchange
not only greetings but ideas. If we do that, we'll be off to a good
start.
Best wishes,
CLIFFORD M. H.4RDIX

Mrs. Clifford Hardin, who still

in her college days, said, "I want
to help my husband to continue
the friendly attitude among stud
ents and faculty."
She also expressed a desire to
know the students "so they will
become better acquainted and get
to know me." Mrs. Hardin takes
an extreme interest in the students
individually.

To Be Added
With the grading of the two
block area from S to U Streets
between 14th and 15th Streets ex
pected to be completed in two or
three weeks, Comptroller John
Selleck said that the University
parking situation should be much
easier than ever before.
Parking permits are now being
issued by campus police in Room
102, Temporary L Building. Any
student or University employee,
whether academic or non-academic,
living more than eight
blocks from campus is eligible to
receive a parking permit.
Deadline is October 4. After
that date, drivers parked on cam
pus without a sticker will b
fined. Permit fee is $1.

one corner of the area, and there
will eventually be four buildings
constructed there. This, however,
