Senate discusses possible rebates
cr by JEFF CREWS
During: the past two weeks
the Senate has been organizing
Rondolet and setting up the stu-
dent government for next year.
Results of the elections for
Rondelet Court, which were
held Tuesday, will be announced
at the various dances, and as
Rondelet weekend nears, the
traditional Beer Bike race and
songfest are also taking shape.
In the recent meeting, George
Herbert discussed the possibil-
ity of a policy change in the
Campus Store, including student
charge accounts, and a yearly
rebate of surplus funds back to
the students. The Campus Store
Board of Control is considering
and researching the changes.
Also, the Senate approved the
chairmen of the following stu-
dent committees: Forum, Char-
les Maynard; Films, Dave
Danglo; Publicity, Paul Hlavin-
ka; Concerts, Philip Matthews;
Fine Arts, Leslie Brown; Stu-
dent Services, Dan Worrall;
Student Center, Jer Mardis;
Sammy's, Kathey Miklos; Off-
Campus Representatives, Mike
Stewart and Susi Kapczynski.
Rob Sides was also approved as
next year's KTRU manager.
A new organization was rec-
ognized by the Senate: The
Young Americans for Freedom,
under the leadership of Cliff
Bain, is now an official club.
Tom Phillips, the chairman of
the Intercollege Court, asked
for a coordinated effort to re-
organize the court system at
Rice. Several committees now
under way to rework the court
system were discussed, and pro-
posals should be ready for a
student refefrendum early next
fall.
Finally, the Senate decided it
will not discuss any business not
on the formal agenda. Any stu-
dent may bring a matter to the
Senate by submitting a written
summary to the SA office, 2nd
floor RMC.

FCC further delays KTRU-FM
The April Fool's edition of
the Thresher announced a hope-
ful KTRU-FM sign-on date of
April 13, but it was no joke for
the KTRU staffers when as of
last Tuesday the Federal Com-
munications Commission had
not authorized program test au-
thority for the PROJECT 91.7.
Delays were compounded by
confusion over call-letters as-
signment. The Rice Radio's call
sign was originally KOWL; it
was changed to KTRU two
years ago in anticipation of
application for the FM license.
KOWL was already assigned to
an AM station in California,
but KTRU was not in use. So
station manager Buddy Trotter
and his staff were surprised to
learn (after submitting the ap-
plication) that the call sign

KTRU was reserved on FCC
records in 1939 by the UCLA
campus radio station. The
UCLA station is currently op-
erating with the sign KLA, and
has not used KTRU for more
than ten years.
The FCC's records have now
been updated, and KTRU will
be assigned to the Rice Radio.
But sign-on may be pushed back
as far as May 22.
Equipment tests of the FM
installation were completed over
spring break. Good reception of
the KTRU-FM signal (with a
superior receiver and antenna)
was reported as far away as
Pasadena. All that is lacking
now is FCC approval to begin
programming.
KTRU plans to continue its
operations over the summer
mofiths. The station manager
for the coming year, Rob Sides,
was approved at the Student
Senate meeting last week. Rob's
staff includes John Doerr, as-
sistant station manager; Paul
HIavinka, news; Greg Reinhart,
d.j.'s; Bill Synnamon, produc-
tion; Kerry Kimbrough, educa-
tional programs; Doug Delong,
Gene Mutschler, and Barry
Reed, engineering; and Rob
Sides, music. Preparations are
now being made for the sum-
mer operations and coming
school year. Interested and/or
talented persons who want to
get involved are invited to con-
tact the station.
