Lights on in Station BTI-IS after broadcasting hours? Wonder who-oh, that's right! The University of Illinois has opened an extension center at the station this year. One of many throughout the state, the center boasts an enroll- ment of close to sixty students, according to Miss Ruby Holden, the registrar and executive officer for the center. Only three out of the sixty members are of the fairer sex. The thirteen different courses that are offered are identical to those open to students .of freshman level at the university itself. Most of the extension students are enrolled in classes leading to degrees in engineering, commercial science, law, medicine, liberal arts, or the sciences. Extension classes start almost immediately after regular school hours and continue till as late as eleven in the evening. For the most part the college courses are led by members of the high school faculty, although there are a few other teachers who serve the center. ' llniver hy of llhhoflf 5 fs up an

The subject under discussion was clothing. I never knew there were so many different materials that could be sewed together in so many different ways to form so many different garments. In looking into Studio T to find out what all the clatter was about, I discovered a special program under way. The entire studio was filled with typists banging away in high gear. With all the noise I barely heard the an- nouncer explain that it was a timed test for typing speed. What I don't know about art would fill a book-even after hearing the broadcast, Art Appreciation, in Studio A. I guess I'll never be a Rembrandt or a Michaelangelo, but now at least I'll be able to judge a pic- ture's worth with some accuracy. Went into Studio O half an hour early to be sure not to miss Moments Musical. Per- haps the fact that there is such a wide range in music, sometimes called the universal language, is the reason for its wide appeal. Everyone finds some type of music he likes -whether jumping jive or soothing sym- phony - and I'm no exception. . f ., ,,- f A .gfadlb 0 15

So far, attending the extension center may sound like quite a chore. However, there are lighter moments to break up the heavy load of college classes. A club, the Collegians, has been formed to set up social activi- ties for the center. Under the supervision of its elected officers- Albert Carnagey, president, John Cifelli, vice-president, and Dol- ores Duensing, secretary-treasurer-the Collegians have sponsored social gatherings and dances to liven things up. In addition to the Collegians, a bowling club has been set up. Every Saturday afternoon the club adjourns to town to take over the local alleys. The center has not been inert athletically, either. By arranging games with other junior colleges in the vicinity, a basketball sched- ule has been agreed upon to help build up that old school spirit. Yes, Station BTI-IS is the scene of much activity the livelong day -and much of the credit can go to that active bunch of sixty-the Collegians of 1947. exfens bn c nfer af Sfaffbn B705 X,
