the campus police is one of the
eldest administrative organizations

The force is headed by Sgt. John
Furrow who is directly responsible
to Chancellor Hardin. The 12 man
force is commissioned by the city
of Lincoln but paid by the state.
Tbe patrolmen take the same oath
j the city police. The police have
just m much authority on the
campus as the city police have in
Lincoln, according to Sgt. Fur-
In the course of enforcement of
tate laws with regard to the Uni
versity, the campus police perform
many functions.
One of their most imjurtant du-
be is the directing of traffic and ,
policing of all school functions such

Radio Complex:
Broadcasting
By BOB WIRZ
Special Writer
Ever wonder how manv people
it takes to keep a radio station
on air?
Th. r-asiial nhrver would orob-
ably say one or onlv a few. Most
people seeui to think that there !
is just a disc jockev who plays
records and then someone to read
the news. And. sometimes both
jobs are handled by one person. ;
People who think this way are j
far from right. At least ten differ-1
ent divisions are necessary for a !
commercial station to operate or
even for a campus station like-
KNUS to function properly.
Looking behind the scenes of a
radio station, we see the various
station divisions.
First of all, a station must have
a general manager. This person
is in charge of the over-all sits tion and keens a daily log for an
operation and supervises all other nouncers.
deoartments. - Promotion is the department
A'so, you have a program di-
rector, who takes care of programs ,
to be put on the air. He arranges ,
music shows with the style best
for the station and looks over all ,
other shows, whatever they may
he.
It is the program director's de
cisions which give the suui.iu its
different policies, ile also nr.ist
work hand in hand wv'ii the fce"-
ei al manager. ,
