Wischmeyer suggests remodeling

A campus-wide radio station
initiated by Hanszen College
will begin operation sometimes
during this school year. Ar-
rangements for technical and
programming aspects of the
project are being spearheaded
by Charles Schade and Stewart
West of Hanszen.
Schade explained that the old
Lost and Found room of the
RMC will be the site of a studio
for station KOWL. University-
supplied cable will link the
major building and colleges on
campus. Possibly video cable
will be laid with the audio cable
in anticipation of possible ex-
pansion of university communi-
cation facilities.
Schade said that it will be
necessary to set up a continu-
ous group of technicians fam-
iliar enough with the wiring and
operation of the studio to insure
its proper functioning.
West, program chairman for
the station, suggests that each
disc jockey responsible for plan-
ning one two-hour program per
week. The station will operate
from 7 am to 1 am Monday-Sat-
urday excluding Saturday even-
ings. It is possible that Saturday
evenings will be included at some
future time. The possibility of

subscribing to record services
which loan or sell classical and
popular albums would provide
a wired range of music for the
programmers.
The radio station could pos-
sibly evolve into a student
taught communications course
with participants providing nec-
essary manpower for the tech-
nical continuity mentioned by
Schade and the many disc jock-
eys which will be needed.
At present the station will
serve only the campus and will
be administered by a decision-
making board composed of
members from each college.
ter, submitted plans to the
Board of Trustees Tuesday call-
ing for remodeling of the north
facade of the college and the
addition of an office, a foyer,
and a plaza to provide a cov-
ered entrance to the college.
The Trustees, who indicated
quite a bit of interest in the
plan, according to Wischmeyer,
were also arouse when the
masters pointed out that the
Baker garbage pick-up point is
in front of the college.
Dean Pfeiffer remarked that
none of the colleges provide a
really presentable appearance
around their main entrances.
The Trustees will inspect the
situation this week before de-
al.
Although all the details of the
plan have not been worked out,
it cui'rently involves moving a
brick fence and two parking
spaces in the college lot to make
room for a circular drive in
front of the commons. The level
of the cloister to the right of
the commons will also be raised
one foot and the two arches on
that side will be set out 30 in-
ches.
The entire complex, with the
office separated by a glass par-
tition, will form a foyer for the
commons with smoked glass.
The cost of the project will be
about $20,000 which is to be
solicited from private sources.
Malcolm Boyd to speak in chapel
By MIKE BROWN
Thresher Religion Editor
Malcolm Boyd, called by the
'Washington Post' a "spokes-
man for the alienated genera-
tion" and by Mademoiselle a
"disturber of the peace," will
offer a program in the Grand
Hall of the Memorial Center on
Thursday evening. October 19,
at 7:.'!0.
According to Newsweek," Boyd
will use any method to get his
message across—folk singing,
jazz, movies." Last fall he ap-
peared nightly at the "hungry
i" in San Francisco, reading his
prayers and maintaining a dia-
logue with his nightclub audi-
ence.
Boyd is a rebel with clerical
collar, an Episcopal priest who

finds more religion outside of
the church building than inside.

"talking to God iti everyday
language about everyday
things."

tion of Hollywood.

industry annd entered the Epis-
copal seminary at Berkeley.
After ordination, he studied for
a year and a half at Oxford
and other places in Europe.

albums of his prayers, accom-
panied by jazz guitarist Charlie
Byrd, and has published two
books recently, "Are You Run-
ning With Me, Jesus?" and
•'Free to Live, Free' to Die." '

Pitzer approves
recommendation
for open houses
President Pitzer signed into
immediate effect the new open-
house policy eai'ly this week.
The proposal, as originally
presented, provided that all
rules governing the open-houses
were to be reviewed and ap-
proved by the Committee on
Undergraduate Affairs; that
there were to be no regular
scheduled open-houses during
the evening hours; and that not
more than one open-house in
the evening hours nor two in
the daytime were to be sched-
uled during a seven day period.
The proposal approved by
President Pitzer included the
first two clauses; amended
the third to state that not more
than two open houses are to
be held in the evening hours
during a seven day period in
one college; and added a fourth
stating that .. each college's
open-house schedule must be
approved each week by the in-
dividual college master.
The President also signed
this week a proposal expanding
membership of the Committee
on Undergraduate Affairs to
include a president of one of
the women's colleges, as well
as the president of one of the
men's colleges who was previo-
usly included on the Committee.
Both members will be selected
by a vote of all the college pres-
idents.
