Last minute check before going on the air! WFU -FIVI From studios located on the third floor of Keating Hall, WFUV-FM broadcasts a quality blend of educa- tional, entertaining, and non-commercial radio to an estimated listening audience of 300,000 persons, throughout a 50-mile radius. This is the voice of Fordham University, at 90.7 on the FM dial, which is on the air from 9:20 in the morning to ll o'clock at night, seven days a week. With the exception of certain executive positions this heavy schedule of broadcasting is handled by the stu- dents of Fordham-from announcing to publicity, and including such tasks as continuity, script writing, engineering, producing and directing. New announcers are trained by the more experi- enced WFUV staff men and attend announcing work- shops before their first on-the-air announcing duties. Many members of the staff have had professional experience working at commercial stations throughout the summer months. Classical music is the specialty of WFUV and everything in this type from the operas of Menotti to the gay can-can music of Offenbach and the progres- sive jazz of Kenton can be found in the music library of the station. WFUV begins its schedule for the day with the broadcast of the Mass and concludes broadcasting activities with the evening prayer of Compline. A day's schedule may include various classical music pro- grams, frequent newscasts, religious programs, dra- matic productions, reviews of current literature and plays, and educational forums. All home basketball and baseball games of Fordham are also broadcast to complete the well-rounded program schedule. Operated by the student, broadcasting the finest quality of radio entertainment, this non-commercial FM station is truly what its call letters indicate-Ford- ham University's Voice.

Handscomb President The Fordham Finance Club has two divisions. One is located at 302 Broadway and the other makes its home in Dealy Hall. Despite this geographical barrier we operate as one unit in our monthly joint meetings. The Dealy Hall unit meets on the second, third, and fourth Fridays of each month. Under the leader- ship of John Handscomb, who is guided by our moder- ator, Dr. Haig Silvanie, we have presented a varied program of topics pertaining to financial matters. ln- dustrial films dealing with financial topics illustrate the growth of a corporation in an entertaining manner. We have guest speakers, group discussions, and occa- sionally a non-financial film. Dennis Scully is our vice president, Alan Jacobson, our secretary and Don Christesen handles the funds as treasurer. We invite all undergraduates to our meetings as the guests of the Finance Club. We feel that our subjects are of general business nature and all students can obtain invaluable training by viewing our films, participating in our discussions and taking field trips to banking, commercial, marketing, indus- trial and processing firms with us. James Thompson and Tom Packert are president and secretary of the combined society. Mr. Thompson heads the downtown unit while Mr, Packert, along with Raymond Meany, aids in guiding the uptown divi- sion. All four of the Dealy Hall officers are Juniors, 172 and we felt that we needed the help of several of our Senior members who have neld positions of responsi- bility in this and other organizations. Since the uptown branch of the Finance Club is only two years old, it is still a growing organization, but its positive influence has already been felt by the School of Business. lt has been instrumental in arous- ing interest in, and providing valuable extra-curricular information about the world of finance, which other- wise would not have been available to the students of the School of Business. Let's have another movie!

Where is the pipe Carl? University The Fordham University Glee Club conducted an- other successful series of concerts this year under the direction of Mr. Frederic Joslyn. The year was an active one indeed, with the Hvocalizing Rams receiving the highest praise for each of their performances. For Mr. Joslyn, fondly known as Doc , it was his thirtieth year as director. Rev. Theodore T. Farley, S.J., moderator of the organization arranged the active schedule. Included in their more outstanding performances were the open- ing concert at Mount Saint Vincent College, the an- nual Charistmas Concert at the New York Athletic Club, and the annual Town Hall Concert, the latter being sold out weeks in advance. Glee Club A vocal octet, The Ramblers, made up of members of the Glee Club, provided interludes of barber shop and spiritual singing both at regular concerts and spe- cial engagements. Members of the group are Jack Mellon, Frank Ryan, Bernie Dengler, Earl Johnson, Dick Doyle, Gabe Cuculescu, Mike McCarthy and Jack Burke. Among the Ramblers appearances were the Freshman Banquet at the Roosevelt l-lotel and the Fall Fantasy Boarder Dance where they were the fea- ture attraction. The true spirit of the University is most certainly exemplified by the Glee Club. This organization has made a lasting impression on all of us which will remain far into the future. ffikttiblfef' -P2 ' af ' asf' ' -wacwamxq -
