Mr. Robert McKnight, Publicity director of KSTC Radio Public Relations The public information office serves as a liaison unit about college news between the College and the newspapers, radio stations and television sta- tions of the area. It serves as the eyes and ears for these many media outlets, providing news stories and news photos about all College pro- grams, personnel and activities, so that the public may gain a better and more favorable under- standing of the institution. News service is provided to more than two hundred regular outlets ranging from saturation coverage for the Pittsburg newspapers and local radio newscasts to intensive coverage for the small weeklies, area radio and television stations, great metropolitan papers and the three major press associations. The basic operations of the radio department fall into three categories: providing radio pro- grams for local and area stations, providing tele- vision programs for K.O.A.M. and managing G.P.A.S., which is the public address system in the Student Center. The radio department has all recording equip- ment necessary to operate as a station excepting a transmitter. Virtually all work is done by the students, under the supervision of Roland Fenz, director of all radio and T.V. activity. Looking into KSTC ' s radio studio it seems that these gentlemen are getting ready for a big program. At the panel is John Garralda, with Mr. Roland Fenz, instructor, giving a few tips to Richard Denton and James Gilreath. Seated is George Terry.

c E o c IP 1 -j4 Ik At least these students seem to think that enrollment is a happy-time. Wait until they get to the 999th line for Name . If that doesn ' t tire out a student he is weak in the head or has his own portable secretary. The all-time high in enrollment this year reached 2373 as compared with approximately 1900 at the same time last year. Total enrollment, consisting of laboratory schools, cor- respondence and extension was 4004. An interesting side- light, concerning enrollment, is that the men outnumber the women 1639 to 734. (And this is leap year too!) And what have we here! Nothing less than Orientation Week for the freshman. If you try real hard you might be able to think back to that day of all days when you were just a poor lowly fresh- man . . . your thoughts were filled with mixed feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and despair. A close examination of the facial expressions of these freshmen should be proof enough of this state of mind.

Teacher Training We learn through real life ex- periences . . . and so is the case at the Horace Mann and College High Laboratory Schools. Elemen- tary and secondary education majors gain valuable experience in teaching so that when they actually enter the profession they will be familiar with the duties that go along with being a fine teacher. Here we see the fourth grade in action. And, as you might suspect, the practice teachers in action. That ' s Jim Riley in the foreground. Even at the age of five, the children in the kindergar- ten give their undivided at- tention to their practice teacher, Meredithe Clary, who is reading them a story about old St. Nick.
