School Hours:
Suggest
Class Day
Extension
Chancellor Clifford Hardin said
Friday that the University facul
ties are being asked to consider
whether it would be feasible to
extend the length of the teaching
day to help relieve the Univer
sity's shortage of classroom and
laboratory space.
The matter will be discussed at
special meeting of the Univer
sity Senate on Tuesday.
Urgency of finding additional
apace pending further develop
ment of the University's building
program, the Chancellor said, is
emphasized by a report from Dr.
Floyd Hoover, University regis
trar. The report declares that unless
prompt action is taken the Uni
versity wil have "upwards of 2,-
000 more students within the pext
three years with no place to put
them."
Dr. Hoover said that "everytime
ur enrollment increases by 500
students we must find, on an
average, 20 or more rooms to be
used anywhere from 10 to 20 hours
a week."
Classrooms in Andrews hall, one
f the principal teaching buildings
on the Lincoln City campus, are
cow being used from 80 to 91 per
cent of the time, based on a 44
hour week, and Dr. Hoover said
that pressure for space is also
serious in Social Sciences hall and
in the engineering laboratories in
Bancroft hall.
Chancellor Hardin said he be
lieves that some extension of the
classroom day is inevitable but
that such action will increase the
need for additional staff and can
not be expected to materially re
duce the University's immediate
need for additional buildings.

All's Changed:
Prediction Says
Good Weather
All the rain, snow and colder
weather that the Weather Bureau
had predicted for Friday and Sat
urday have been called off.
Instead of any general rains,
the bureau
said that the
p r e c i p i t a-

confined to the
extreme south
eastern porti

state.
Origi n a 1 1 y
the prediction
said that the
entire state
would experience a fast drop in
temperatures which would result
in either rain or snow.
In the changed prediction, the
temperatures are expected to reg

is considerably above what previ

Every afternoon at 2 p.m., radios
all over the campus broadcast the
sign-on of station KNUS, student
run radio station. Last Thursday
the staff at KNUS began a move
that had been in the planning
stage for only three weeks.
Bill Ramsey, station engineer,
NormTrancis and'Bob'Pylc, spent
from 8 p.m. Thursday to 7 p.m.
Friday, moving platforms, chang.

necessary for the station facelift,
ing. This reorganization in the
basement of Temple building was
one of both- expansion and condens
ation. Without acquiring any extra
space, this new arrangement has
increased the number of studios
at the station from two to three.
Now, while the station is on the
air from the broadcasting room,
two other studios can be used
simultaneously for tape recording
some of the many other KNUS
programs.
The broadcasting studio, a small
room about ten feet square is ar
ranged now so the disc jockey
faces a large window. On the
other side of this plate of glass
is a large room which can either
be used for a class room or as
a broadcasting studio.
During a regular program, the
news commentator sits in this
room where he can see the disc
jockey's signal to go on the air,
thus eliminating the middle man
who had to call signals before
when the disc jockey was facing
a blank wall.

Increasing our present number
of state senators, and lowering the
voting age from 2 to lOears of

"I have always held this

Nelson stated.
