The Department of Speech and Dramatic Art and the School of Education are each sponsoring two programs a week. "To the Stars Through Difficulties" is a pretentious series of 30 episodes dramatizing Kansas history from the coming of the pioneers down to the notifica¬ tion ceremonies for Gov. Landon, as the nominee for president. These plays are written by Prof. Allen Crafton and are presented by the Kansas Players. The program of request readings with musical background, presented each week by Prof. Robert Calderwood, Department of Speech and Dramatic Art, has re¬ ceived much appreciative comment. Dr, R. A. Schwegler, Dean of the School of Education, discusses the prob¬ lems of "Educating Yourself" each week and Dr. Bert A. Nash addresses the P.T.A. each week about "Personal and Family Problems." The School of Fine Arts presents the University Symphony Orchestra, the University Band, the A Cappella Choir, the Glee Clubs, String Quartet, Chamber Music Ensemble and faculty members each month in concert over KFKU, as well as recitals by advanced students from the Music Department.

In addition to the above courses, the Department of Physical Education conducts two popular "Ath¬ letic Scrapbooks" each weak. ^SAJ - Grove City College . H. W. Harmon says: WSAJ is a 100 Watt station, broadcasting at designated hours: Sunday College Chapel at 4:30-5:30 and two evenings per week at 7:15-10:30. We. usually use Tuesday and Thursday evenings for about one hour beginning at 7:15. This program is a faculty, student, and local civic program and is largely educational in character. Our faculty has become quite aware of the educational values and the pos¬ sibilities of radio for our students. From our program sheet you will see that our students are taking an active part in the programs. On an average, twenty-five students appear before the microphone weekly. WSUI - State University of Iowa . Carl Bilenzer says, "WSUI is planning on broadcasting all home basket-ball games direct from the floor, and all out-of- town games by telegraphic reports."
