Trustees Approve Campus Radio Plan The Board of Trustees has ap proved a plan by which the pro posed campus radio station will operate with the College as licen see and the station subject to administration and policy control by. the College, Wilmer E. Ken worthy, director of student affairs, announced, yesterday. The action, which took• place at a recent meeting of the ex ecutive committee, outlines the purposes of the station as three fold. It is to serve the Depart ments of Speech, Journalism, Dra matics, Music, and otherinter ested departments in t r a i n i n'g students for professional radio work; to offer opp,ortunities for other students and student organ- izations to convey information to the student body, and broadcast] •activities. under, trained supe r-f Sammy Kaye To Play at Senior Ball 6-Day Week For Students Is Hinted The possibility of mare Satur day classes in the future, or even under the present plan, may be the outcome of an evaLuation of the class schedule of th.-e College now under way by the Council of Administration. The proposed changes, ark flounced by Wilmer E. Kenwor thy, director of student affairs and spokesman for the group, could not occur before tie Spring semester of 1954, it was revealed. More Saturday Classes The statement issued by Kerk worthy reads: "It is true that the class sched ule of the College is under con sideration by the Council of Ad ministration at 'the present time in an effort to evaluate the pre sent schedule and determine whe ther or not any improvements can be made. The impression is being given that there are now no ,Saturday classes and that a `return' to Saturday classes is contemplated. The fact is that the present schedule provides for Saturday classes, although there are not as Many as on other, days. It is possible that there may have to be more SaturdaY classes in the future under a revised, ar even under the present plan. No change in schedule could be ef fective before the Spring semester of 1954, and as yet no ation has been taken to make any major changes. Factors involved in considera tion of the possible increase in Saturday classes are: 1. More effective use of facili ties, such as laboratories, • 2.• Need for spreading the schedule to provide more free hours during the week and some unscheduled time for meetings of organizations and faculty - com mittees." Further Talk Monday KenwOrthy said the statement was released to combat rumors circulating about campus con cerning the proposed changes. Many of them have been false or contorted and the statement was designed to set the issue straight, he said.

Un der the procedure, the acceptance of the gifts of the Classes of 1951 and 1952 are contingent upon plans which would be approved by President Milton S. Eisen hower and the Board of Trustees.
