THE FOURTH ESTATE we pfedb The issue was two issues, said Gateway Ed- itor in Chief Bob Seitzer when he told why the Fourth Estate of the University couldn't remain static while the rest of the University programs and departments grew. And the two issues were the regular Tuesday and Friday editions of The Gateway, the second college newspaper in Nebraska to be published more than once a week. Two issues for the staff were keeping up with the news in a rapidly expanding University and allotting more of their time and energy to The Gateway.

Last April, students took over Radio Station KBON for one full day of oper- ations. From the time student Warren Wittekind went on the air with the early morning news, until midnight when Wit- tekind, Ralph Carey and Jack Katz signed the station off the air with a recorded program, students had a hand?-and a voicefin most of KBON's programs for the day. As a result of the work done by the University's journalism students in rewriting the news, the station asked three of them to help cover the April pri- mary elections. Alumnus Joe Baker, KB- ON promotion manager, said the first success meant OU-KBON Day would be an annual affair. This year, on March 22, students took over the station for the second year-

l The qualifications of the faculty and ad- ministration largely control the success of any educational institution. In line with the grow- ing objectives here, the University added four- teen new faculty members at the beginning of the school year. Included in the group were the new head of the Department of Education, Dr. Frank H. Gorman, who also became director of curri- culum for Omaha Public Schools, Hurford H. Davison, who headed the new Retailing De- partmentg and acting head of the History and Government Department, Williaiii Utley, who also directed the Institute on Worlcl Affairs. The other members of the new faculty group were Robert E. Andrews, Dr. Marinus Bardolph, Mrs. Ernestine Bottlemy, Willitllli H. Durand, Laurence A, Frye, Robert D. Harper, Miss Joyce McLeod, George S, Pritchard, Mrs. .L Catherine A. Thomas, and Raymond Ziegler. Charlie Brock began the first semester as foot- ball line coach but left the University March 1 to become a Green Bay Packers coach. The critical housing situation existing among the new faculty members prompted the Board of Regents to vote to have a bill authorizing them to issue and sell revenue bonds presented to the state legislature in january. The legislature came back with LB 7 which authorizes the Regents to finance the construction of student or faculty housing or other revenue producing buildings without raising local taxes. Another bill to help the University keep good faculty members was passed at the same session. LB 6 authorizes the Regents to expand the present retirement plan. Formerly, University employees paid five percent of their wages, up to s3,ooo, into a retirement fund, and the University contributed an equal amount. The bill allowed the Regents to raise or take off the 53,000 limit. Another new administration development was the Faculty Lecture Series. Five professors spoke on timely and interesting topics in their special fields. They gave their opinions on Usubjects important to intelligent people who want to act in the world of today. The series was open to anyone who wished to attend.

Last year, the Journalism and English Depart- ments combined to offer the four year major in Writiiug program. Until then, journalism students could take only a two-year certificate course at the University. The other large advancement last year was the enlarging and remodeling of the Student Publicaf tions offices, which also serve as two modernly- equipped journalism laboratories. presenting interviews, plays and newscasts, while getting a realistic view of the problems of radio production. At the beginning of the fall semester, two other local stations invited the University to pro- duce weekly programs. The Your University program began its weekly 9:30 p.m. Monday airings on KOH. dur- ing the latter part of September. Students previewed coming events, and faculty members gave opinions and interpreted current problems. In November, the University began a similar series each Sunday at 6:45 p.m. over KOWH. Faculty members discussed current problems, reviewed books, and gave advice to Omahans. In February, Assistant Music Professor Rich- ard E. Duncan, who conducts both the Omaha and the University Symphony Orchestras, took to the Wednesday morning KOWH air with a musical appreciation program. The airing was patterned after the late Walter Damrosch's educational music program, and Mr. Duncan aimed at plenty of variety-from sym- phony to be-bop. The variety on all of the University programs and the number on the air showed the success of the objectives of the University in the fifth estate. Many students were working part time at local radio stations and several graduates held positions in broadcasting. 2 T-E-1-Y-525-Z1'fQi-2-:Jil-H-71114-gvz-111-2-1-1-1-'MAJ-T Q-ivffz-fiiffa-z'1-1'2-1-1-kg-5-1-1-1-5+i-1-1-5.-1-LQH-5,-1-if 1.725-'Z 51
