Connor, Secretary The Lyceum Committee IRC HAS ANNIVERSARY (Continued from page 2) on the air. , IBS operates networks of campus stations, setting them up wherever the concentration of stations is sufficient to make network operation practical. In April 1948 a group of stations in upper New York state inaugurated the Empire Network of IBS. The Empire Network now includes stations at 11 colleges. Its success has stimulated the formation of networks in other regions of the country. It is anticipated that these networks will eventually be linked together and extended to others that will be formed throughout the country. In addition to providing training in all phases of radio for its participants, and serving its listeners with programs of entertainment and enlightenment, IBS stations represent an important new medium for advertisers wishing to reach the rich college market. Many established local and national firms have successfully used IBS stations ip the past. With recent improvements in facilities and a constantly growing listening audience, many more will do so in the future. All advertising revenues go into operating expenses and improvements, as IBS is a non-profit organization with all executives serving as non-salaried volunteers. "Campus confined" radio originated back in 1936, with the experiments of two engineering students at Brown University. George Bbraham and David Borst connected their radios by running a wire between two dormitories and arranged a speaking system which enabled them to communicate with each other. Later the present system of merely connecting th electrical systems in each dormitory, with no need for attachments to each radio, was developed and a regular station established. The original station had hardly begun regular operations before interested students from all parts INAUGURATION PLANS (Continued horn page 1) time Miss Dorothy Sue Sutton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.

On the evening of May 5 fallowing the May Day Program the 60- voice Mixed Chorus of the college, under the direction of Professor Walter H. Cupp of the Music Department, will preseni a musical program in the Hoey Auditorium. After the inaugural ceeremony on May 6 there will be a luncheon in the college Dining Hall. Special guests will include representatives of the colleges and universities of North Carolina, representatives of the senior colleges in the Southern Association of Colleges an< Secondary Schools, state officials and other guests. Following the lucheon there will be a President's Reception in the parlors of Moore Dormitory. A concert by the college band supplimented by visiting musicians is scheduled for the afternoon of May 6 in the Hoey Auditorium. The program will be under the direction of Professor W. Glenn Ruff, Head of the college Musu Department. A formal ball in the Breese Gymnasium will be given on the evening of May 6 in Presiden' RCid's honor. The General Committee ir charge of the inauguration plans is composed of Dean Bird, chairman Mrs. C. D. Killian, Professor Ruff, Mrs. Edith Hall, Miss Mamie Rac Brooks, and Professor J. U. Crum of the country began to write Geo. and Dave for information. The boys soon realized that there was a need for an organization which would distribute information on building and operating stations and help groups interested in college radio to get started. At r two day convention (February 18- 18, 1940) at Brown, a constitutor was submitted and approved, national officers were elected, and the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System was officially established as a non-profit mutual benefit association.

H.—(I.P.)—College education loses sight of its objective if the only thought is toward a. big pay check for college-trained individuals, according to Dr: Arthur S. Adams, president of the University of New Hampshire. Dr. Adams declared here recently that when we become concerned that/ there may not foe enough high-salaried jobs available for all the college graduates of the future, we are taking a too limited view of the reason for higher education. "We must not forget that the principle task of our colleges and universities should be education for living, not solely education to' make a living," he said. Referring to a book recently published by a Harvard economist,! Prof. Seymour E. Harris, in which : he said that the time may come when college graduates earn less| than the non-college trained, President Adams declared: "I be-j lieve that the nation's educational' institutions have been concerned all along and are now emphasizing more than ever the need for training in effective living, instead of an easy way to become rich." Dr. Adams predicted a continued rise in college enrollment, despite the fact that most veterans have completed their education. He therefore favors an amendment to the National Housing Act which would permit colleges to borrow money for construction of new housing facilities. He said that high school population figures show that colleges "will see no let up in the large number of young men and women seeking higher education." High school enrollment last year was 6,236,000 he reported, but by 1956 it will rise to 8,048,000. "We are not faced with a temporary problem, but our housing situation will be a permanent cause of concern until we have succeed- Education Not Specialization Stressed Ann Arbor, Mich. — (I.P.) — General education instead of specialization is stressed in a new curriculum adopted this year by the College of Literature, - Science and Arts at the University of Michigan. Dean Hayward Kenis- ton, in announcing the new curriculum under study since 1942, listed three major features: A. It emphasizes the Idea of a four-year program 91 liberal studies instead of one divided into two years of general study and two more of intensive specialization. Liberal studies are regarded as those which help prepare ; student to live a good life as an individual and as a member of the community. B. It will provide a more basic experience for all students by requiring work in each of the major fields of study. C. Students will have more freedom of choice and a greater variety and , breadth of fields o; study in which they may concentrate. Requirements under the new curriculum fall into two major fields: 1. Before graduation each student must take work in each c VicVctf«y ~c ed in finding a permanent solution." Temporary housing which the government furnished served well for the few years following the war, he declared, but it can no longer be counted on because it is temporary and is not feasible to maintain as permanent. "From all parts of the country we have reports that the temporary housing is approaching a state of disuse, that the cost of maintenanc alone will soon exceed possible rental charges." The proposed amendment, which would authorize colleges to borrow up to $300,000,000 at 2>/2 per cent interest, would provide for financing of housing units at an approximate cost of $1,500 per student, Dr. Adams said. "Many institutions, however, can not build at that figure," he explained. "This legislation would then be a substantial aid in the conventional ways of financing which are open to institutions."

EXPENSE For fall information contact your ntirat VETERANS ADMINISTRATION office the major fields of study: English, a foreign language, the arts (literature, the fine arts, music, or the theater), mathematics or philosophy, at least two of the social sciences (anthropology, economics geography, history, political science, psychology, sociology), and at least two of the physical sciences (astronomy, zoology). 2. Before graduation, each student must choose some field of study in which he may acquire a deeper and more intimate knowledge. Here the new curriculum has been designed to recognize the need for new combinations of coordinated study. The student may elect to pursue studies fitting within any of the 25 departments of the college, or may center hit studies around some area or topic which cuts across departmental lines. To help in this part of the new curriculum, a number of new interdepartmental programs will be available. Typical are the programs in biological sciences, biophysics, botany and bacteriology. German classicism and romanticism, musical drama, paleozoolo- gy, social anthropology and one in chemistry, mathematics and physic;. Area programs will be expanded to four and will be available in American -Culture, Far iastern Studies, Latin-American Studies and Russian Studies. Absence Petition Presented Washington, Pa.—(LP.)— The faculty at Washington and Jefferson College recently granted the following petition presented by the Student Council, effective for the second semester: "That the maximum cut limit for juniors and seniors be changed from 3 to 5 cuts per course per semester." The absence rule for juniors and seniors will now read, "Each junior and senior shall be allowed a maximum of 5 unexcused absences per semester in each course. The penalty of each unexcused absence in excess of 5 shall br the addition to graduation requirements of one credit hour for each such absence. A total of 8 unexcused absences in any single course will cause the student tc be dropped from that course with an F but no addition to this graduation requirement shall be made for the absences in excess of 5.' Juniors and seniors on academic Project For 2nd Semester St. Paul, Minn. — (LP.)—Announcement of its two main projects for the second semester has been released by the All - College Council at Hamllne University. They are: (1) faculty advisership of campus organizations; and (2) student Ieadship and participation on campus. It is felt here that the problem of securing a faculty adviser, which many organizations have found to be a very real one, calls for a study and analysis of what type of activity the various faculty members would like to participate in (such as chaperoning, or having a definite club assignment), which faculty members are not now taking an active part and which are in campus organizations, and what the organizations themselves can do to help solve the problem. The Council is going to undertake the task of finding out the "why's and wherefore's" of student leadership and participation Why do the sane people have all the jobs? Why do only such a limited number take part in activities? What can be done to improve the situation? New Registration System St. Louis, Mo.—(I. P.) — A streamlined registration system this year permitted most of the 5,500 day students at Washington University to register in approximately a half hour to forty-five minutes each. The change was brought about by separating the advistory functions from the sectioning process. All class changes and problems were taken care of in Francis Gym while the actual signing and sectioning took place in the Field House, thus preventing the lengthy line-forming which previously occurred when one student at the head of the line had some difficulties to be solved. probation shall not be permitted any unexcused absences. The penalty for each unexcused absence shall be the addition to graduation of one credit hour for each such absence. For a total of three unexcused absences in any single course, a junior or senior on probation shall be dropped from the course with an F. All juniors and seniors on the Dean's List are exempt from the above requirements. This privilege may be withdrawn in any course if, in the opinion of t instructor, the quality of the junior-senior's work is being impaired because of it. No further absences will be permitted in that course. Unexcused absences on any day preceding or following Easter vacation shall count double.
