Q li D10 LAW Flllt One of the ambitions of the directors of the Radio Law Forum for the past sev- eral years has been to extend its activities to WHCU, lthaca's Columbia Broadcasting Station Affiliate. That aim was fulfilled at the beginning of thistyear after a success- ful audition. Previously, the programs had been broadcast over Cornell's student op- erated station, WVBR, and as a result only those persons with radios on or about the campus could listen. The addition of the WHCU facilities not only increased the range to listeners throughout the Ithaca area but also the programs were transcribed and re- broadcast over the Rural Radio Network which covers the greater part of New York State by means of FM. Anticipating the necessity for a more professional type program, the directors and their new faculty advisor, Professor Keeffe, thought it advisable to add a staff students from all classes. This staff met reguarly to aid in the planning and produc- tion of the forums and each member had an opportunity to appear on several programs during the course of the year. Other members of the weekly panels were drawn from fellow law students, as well as faculty from the law school and other divisions of the University, and prominent townspeople. This plan insured a varied and learned panel each week and enabled a large percentage of the law student body to participate. To appeal to the larger audience with its diversified tastes, it became apparent that discussions would have to assume a broader scope and not be restricted to purely legal topics. However, since this is a law school function, it was essential to adopt topics which would appeal to lawyers and laymen alike. Thus a few of the subjects dealt with were Universal Military Training, New York Divorce Law, Military Justice, and the Proposed St. Lawrence Seaway. The program has continued to grow in popularity and seems to have been accepted as a permanent WHCU feature. E511
