NU Radio Began In Fraternity
By Karen Long
A fraternity house was once
the home of University Radio,
better known today as KNUS.
An embarrassing and amus
ing incident is on the records
of the fellows operating it
during and after the second
World War. The transmitter
was set up in a fraternity
house but only approved to
be transmitted to the sur
rounding sorority and frater
nity houses.
Power Increased .
Suddenly the power was in
creased and UNEB was heard
in Oklahoma. All people en
gaged in the operation were
arrested for not having the
proper license, exceeding the
power limit and interfering
with legally operating call
letters. The first letter U, bet
ter known as the call num
ber, could only be used in the
Soviet Union.
After a study by the iFBI
the students were released
without prosecution and
UNEB was never heard of
again.
From that time on the sta
! student ta n College of Law;
advised students to: "1. work
for a publication such as the
Daily Nebraskan or Corn
husker in order to learn self
expression and to have an op
portunity to assume individ
ual responsibility. 2. to recog
nize their responsibility as
citizens of the University, to
the state, nation and world by
joining AUF and 3. to serve
fellow students by working in
the Student Union."
Participation in IFC was
urged by Bob Krumme in or
der to bring about more
unity between the Greeks."
"Activities are worthwhile
but I don't recommend more
than one or two because they
take too much time." he said.
All Freshmen
"All freshmen should par
ticipate in at least one activ
ity, but they shouldn't be re
quired to have a certain num
ber of t h e m," said Polly
Doering, senior in Teachers
College.
Activities recommended by
her were: Union, because it
is worthwhile rather than
"busy work"; Co-ed Coun
selors, because this organiza
tion gives upperclassmen a
chance to become acquainted
with the freshmen: and AWS,
because it gives students an
opportunity to know the ad
ministration and to under
stand the policies they put
out.
Three activities suggested
by George Moyer, freshman
in Law School, were the
Daily Nebraskan which gives
students a chance to learn a
vocation, debate which
teaches you to "articulate,"
and AUF because it is one of
the few organizations on cam
pus in which students can
help those less fortunate than
themselves.
Karen Peterson, senior in
and Sciences, recom
mended working in the Stu
dent Union because it "pro
vides a program to fill the
needs of all groups on cam:
pus" and AWS because "it is
an essential oranization
which is made stronger and
can develop more fully only
with the support of every
woman."
"I'm not saying that these
two are the most valuable,
they just happen to be the
ones I am interested in," she
said.
Politics
An activity, such as Ne
braska Blueprint, which gives
students the opportunity to
prepare for a vocation, was
suggested by Carroll Novicki.
He also recommended either
Young Republicans or Young
Democrats to give students
an active interest in govern
ment and Builders because it
is an organization which pro
motes the University.
"The primary emphasis
should be on studies," said
Rev. Rex Knowles, pastor of
Presby House. "If I were to
set up s ideal activity plan
for students, I would recom
mend one which would be
service to others, one which
would be helpful to the voca
tional choice and one which
would put the student in con
tact with people be would not
normally have a chance to
meet."
Freshman girls will have
the opportunity today to sign
up for the activities of their
choice during the Associated
Women Students Mart from
2 to 5:30 p.m. in the Union
party room.
, . . KNUS Plans and History
tion operated legally and in
1951 the call letters KNUW
were issued.
Experimenting
Actual experimenting with
the University radio began in
1899 and it became the First
National I n t e r-Collegiate
Broadcasting Station in the
nation. Permission from the
FCC to broadcast came in
1922.
For a time it was educa
tional radio only but now the
main puspote 1 to teach peo
ple in the field of radio.
"The station designed with
the student in mind" is the
familiar quote which will be
used and carried out this year
as KNUW will for the first
time have complete campus
news and sports coverage.
Student Study
Along with this will be
music to fit what the musical
listener wants when 'e wants
it according to a special stu
dent study.
The station now operates
from 6 to iu;30 p.m. and with

result of the efforts of Bill
Milldyke, KNUS general man
ager, according to George
Strunk, program director.
Complete Coverage
Strunk said that each year
KNUS has tried new sched
ules but this year with com
plete campus coverage and
the staff which has had com
mercial experience, programs
should be advantageous to all
students on campus.
The closed circuit radio Is
financed through the Univer
sity on the revolving budget,
however much of it is paid
back by sponsor paid time.
Restrictions on the opera
tion prohibit it from reaching
too far out from the station,
but it does reach all campus
residences, said Strunk.

a warm handshake.
