DIRECTOR INSPIRES RADIO WORKSHOP On the airl This year has all the prospects of being a good one for KCU in radio. What with dramatics, a quiz show, music, and a round-table discussion, as well as many other features, a varied field is offered to radio listeners. The accomplishments of the radio workshop, which is under the direction of Lawrence Kuhl, have been made possible by the new equipment at KCU. The facilities have been expanded now so that full-scale production from the studio is in progress. Even though they are cramped for space the workshop includes a sound-proof broad- casting room, a tiny control room crammed with equipment and a office for Mr. Kuhl and his colleagues. The Radio Guild is the name of the radio club, an honorary organization that has membership by the accumulation of points awarded for actual participation in the productions. Bob Yergovitch is president of the group and Pat McLane is the secretary-treasurer. The twelve members of the Radio Guild do most of the work in the various productions. . Dateline Missouri, a dramatic series, is pre- pared partly in the University studio and partly live at WDAF. The series, presented weekly, consists of historical incidents of Missouri and Kansas. Written by Bob Dorothy and members of the Script Writing Class, most of the acting is done by the members of the Radio Guild. The Page 'I6 work of directing and producting the show is partly done by the students. Under this title the radio group will also present several h'oliday shows. Each Tuesday and Thursday morning the Uni- versity is taken into the homes of Kansas Citians over KIMO with the University Club. On the Tuesday morning show Barbara Butin interviews campus personalities and she has already inter- viewed Dr. Newfield, Dr. Holy, Lee Marts, Jack Karapetian, and others. Music on the Tuesday morning show is provided by Tane lnouye who solos on the blues and the Dream Dusters. The Dream Dusters are the quartet who went to Sun Valley, Idaho, early in the semester on a two week contract with l-larl Smith. This quartet is composed of Bill Piehler, Neil Stuessi, Jerry Wooden, and Patsy Kidd. The group is heard on the University Club accom- panied by Bill on the guitar and Walt George on the accordion. The Thursday morning program is announced by Dick Tegtmeyer. A review of campus news that would be of interest to the community in general is given by Carol Kraft. The show which has already been on the air for 8 weeks will con- tinue till June. Both the Tuesday and Thursday morning programs are directed by Don Jennings and Jerry Love is at the controls.
