Radio Station: ' .
KM US Programming
Geared For Students
By BOB MARTEL
Staff Writer
The Speech department offers
students interested in Radio op-
portunity for practical experience
through the facilities of KNUS
This University radio station is
manned entirely by students. Lee
Rockwell, junior, is the student
manager and is responsible for the
entire operation of KNUS.
Rockwell's staff includes Chuck
Patrick, Program Director; Tom
Gensler, News Director; Bob Fur
man. C h i e f . Announcer, Rod
Holmes, Advertising; Gladys Ev
ans, Traffic Manager, and Dixie
Helms, Continuity.
The programming of KNUS is
geared expecially for the campus
student.Music, news and sports
are its main output.
Some of the more popular pro
grams include; Eventide, an hour
of classical music each evening,
with Kenneth Kopta; Sounds, 30
minutes of jazz, both contempor
ary and progressive, hosted by Al
Anderson; The Sports Picture with
Kent BriggS, and Five Star Dead
line, a half hour of weather, news
and sports each evening at 5:30
p.m.
Five Star Deadline has received
much attention because of the fine
news commentary ' handled ,by
Gensler. ,
The station does not, however,
broadcast only from their studios.
The presidential elections were
given complete coverage by the
staff-in a manner worthy of a pro
fessional station. , Equipment was
set up in the county commission
er's office and other strategic lo
cations and the voting results were
broadcast to the students as
quickly as they, became available.
All hrme football, basketball and
baseball games are broadcasted
live over the station in a profes
sional manner by Briggs.
Dr.' Clarence Flick is the faculty
guardian of KNUS and it is
through his hard work and keen
technical" knowledge that the sta
tion has assumed the professional
style that it now displays.

The Outside World:
Ike Warns Middle la
President Eisenhower told the Middle East the menace of inter
national Communism could smash all their hard won accomplish
ments over nignc.
In a world-wide radio broadcast marking the 15th anniversary
of the Voice of America, Eisenhower noted that in the face of that
menace, he has asked Congress to approve an anti-communist pro
gram for the Mideast.
Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex) said after a talk with Secretary
of State Dulles that the chances for a Middle East settlement "appear
v uc auiuewiiat more nopeiul.'
Indictment-
Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) put .before the United Nations a 10-Doint
indictment of Soviet policy in Eastern Europe over the past 20 years.
Knowland .spoke in reply to a Soviet demand in the UN special
political committee tftat the United Nations condemn the United, state
for "subversive activities" aimed a the overthrow of Communist gov
ernments. . -,
New Ambassador
President Eisenhower Monday nominated Armory Houghton, chair
man of the board of the Corning (NY) Glass Works, as the new
ambassador to France.
The 56-year-old Republican replaced C. Douglas Dillon, who last
month was named deputy undersecretary of state for economic affairs.
Ten U.S. Prisoners
An ousted official of the U.S. Information Agency says at Aeast
two of the 10 Americans held prisoner by the Red Chinese are agents
of the Central Intelligence. Agency. '
Charles Edmundson said that is why the State Department has
been trying to bar U.S. newsmen from going to Communist China.
He said the department fears the newsmen might learn some of
the imprisoned Americans are intelligence agents and that this might
weaken U.S. efforts to get the prisoners freed.
Indian Vote
Voting in India's second general election moved into full stride with
Indians going to the polls in nearly 600 election districts in 10 states.

During an eleven-week period
the choristers and their conductor
will appear in some 75 cities from
coast to coast. Major cities in
which they will be heard in con
cert include Boston, Philadelphia,
New York City, Chicago, St. Louis,
Kansas City, San Francisco and
Seattle.
Earlier this season,, the Chor

Southern California.
For the eighth consecutive year,
the ensemble will sing with the

Last season, the two young men
and their Steinway Pianos gave
45 recitals and were heard in 30
more as featured two-piano solo

Canada, in the South and inNew
England.
Johnny Carson began his TV ca
reer in Omaha on WOS-TV.While
attending the University, he worked
at KFAB radio to make his G.I.
allotment check stretch.
His first Dig break came with
a telephone call from CBS Televi
sion City in Hollywood. Red Skel-
ton, he was told, had just knocked
himself cold when a breakaway
prop failed to break as Red dived
through the door.
Critics acclaimed his substitution
and Johnny was well on his way
to a TV career. His own show, 'The
Johnny Carson Show," makes its
network debut on May 28.
Records of the Wagner Chorale
are available at the Union music
library.
Parking:

James W. Pittenger, Assistant
to the Chancellor, said Monday
that "the administration is in the
process of setting up an advisory
committee to work out a solution
to the parking problem that is
fair and equitable to all."
Pittenger emphasized that the
committee will go into all sugges.
tions , and attempt to find out if
they are feasible and have the sup
port of the student body. Pittenger
said, "We have no answer to the
problem right now, but perhaps
some student does. The most im
portant thing about this problem
is that the students recognize it
as a difficult one and present con
structive ideas. We will welcome
and consider any suggestions care
fully."
Several suggestions have been
proposed to the committee, accord
ing to Pittenger. Among those pre
sented arf.
1. Instr ,11 parking meters on park
ing places outside the large park
ing lots.
2. Restrict the use of cars by
Underclassmen. Underclassm e n
would be allowed cars, but they
would be stored in perifery ar
eas around campus and would not
be used on campus.
3. Build a multi-story parking
garage in the large parking areas
already available.
4. Ban all cars from the cam
pus entirely. Wisconsin and some
other schools in the Big Ten
follow this policy.
Pittenger reiterated that these

Committee To Give
Third Dance Lesson
The Union Dance Committee will
present the third of a series of
five dance lessons this evening at
7:30 p.m. in the Union Ballroom.
By popular request, Jon Appleget
will be back to continue teaching
the "Bop."
"We are trying to feature the
kind of dances students wish to
learn, and this seems to be the
favorite," Gail Sunderman, offi
cial hostess for the lessons said.
imsDCieirs
were merely suggestions and not
proposed solutions.
"The problem might find some
relief in education of the student
to the limitations of parking on
campus," Pittenger continued.
"For instance, there is a large
parking lot at 17th and Vine that
is never even half full. I know that
parking there means a walk, but
a frend of mine recently picked
up a student who was walking
from 13th and F because he
couldn't find a place to park."
That is certainly much farther
than lTfch and Vine."
