No aennite hours have been' decided upon, although present plans indi cate that the channel will operate during the morning. Channel 12 will be affiliated with the Educational Television and Radio Center in Ann Arbor, Mich igan, a national organization es tablished by the Ford Foundation. The center serves as a national Wearing house for educational films. In this way, KUON will be telecasting films that will be shown on other educational channels. COMPLETELY educational films will be televised. There will be no commercials. At the present no definite type or schedule of edu cational films have been decided. The studios of KUON will be lo cated at the offices of KOLN-TV and all programs will originate from there until an estimated six months when KUON will be able to televise University activities. For some time, broadcasting will be done with equipment and facilities loaned by station KOLN- TV. Chancellor Clifford Hardin said the University has "several edu cational films prepared for tele vision." He added, as the Board of Regents recently decided, that "we will not use any additional funds at this time. The broadcast ing we do will be from funds al ready allotted." Station KUON will be operated largely by student help. University officials indicated that students would probably serve as produc tion assistants, floormen, camera men and announcers. There are only seven similar educational TV channels in the U.S., although approximately 20 are being planned.

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.

Hardin's Amiable Manner Typifies Wish To Make Campus 'Friendliest In Nation' By BRUCE BRUGMANN Copy Editor The campus hummed with ac tivity. Buildings throbbed with the 'First Lady Of Campus'! Charms All i "The first lady of the campus" is a charming brunette who "will soon be seen by students as she accompanies her husband to his various appearances. Mrs. Clifford Hardin, who still retains the poise and beauty that won her a beauty queen contest 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.

They are hoping to work out a plan by which they can eventually meet more students individually and become brtter friends with the entire campus.

HIS EXCELLENCY Celal Yard imci, minister of education in th Turkish cabinet, led the Turkish group. The nine man group spent the latter part of August at the University. E. F. Frolik, chairman of the department of agronomy and George S. Round, director of pub lic relations, were the two Ne braska men making the trip to Turkey. The two men studied the situa tion and submitted a report on the proposed university. The report cf.vers conditions they found in Turkey, proposals of the Turkish government and counter-proposals of the University of Nebraska and FOA. Eventually, Frolik said, if plans are completed, there will be an exchange between the faculties of the two institutions. "-.

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.

The two blocks which once in cluded Uni Sundries and Campus Inn will be entirely used for park ing. Sometime next year a phar macy building will be built in one corner of the area, and there will eventually be four buildings constructed there.
