Woman at the Controls at KUOK
A woman is managing KUOK for the first time since the fall semester of 1964. The new manager and promotion director is Toni Wills, St. Louis special student.
"I think it's about time," Wills said Thursday.
The last woman manager began the job at the end of the fall in 1964. She was the only woman to serve as head coach.
The station manager is responsible for the entire operation of the station. All department heads report directly to her, Wills said.
"I have a staff of about 30 this semester." I have a staff of about 30 this semester. All of them are all-male with the exception of two women. The exception of two women.

Wills said the staff this semester was larger than usual. With the additional help, she said, she hopes to work to make the radio operation as professional as possible.
Wills said attempts to make KUOK a professional station were hampered by its function as a broadcasting laboratory. Experienced staff members must devote time and energy to training students at the cost of some of the station's professional touches, she said.
Advertising promotion is one of Wills's major concerns. She said she wanted to sell as much advertising as possible to help boost KUOK's poor financial status. This semester the advertising response has been good, she said.
The KUKO staff, Wills said, is working to be more of a service to the residence halls this semester. Once a week a representative visits the halls to see how the events of the coming week.

campus, Wills said. She said she hoped to be able to broadcast more news media than the local paper.
"The station is future-oriented this spring," Wills said. "And so far I have received complete co-operation from my almost all-male staff. I can't foresee any major problems as a woman station manager."
The station will move to Sudder House Annex, West Campus Road, in March. The new location will provide better facilities and new equipment for the stadium, Wills said.
Fire Fighters Refuse to End Work Slowdown
Members of the local fire fighters union met Wednesday and voted unanimously to continue their work slowdown. Harold Oakley, a national associations officer for the union, said Thursday.
The union members' vote indicated that they did not consider talks to be progressing although City Manager Buford Watson said the police were on back on an equal pay scale with police.
The firemen said earlier that they would end their work slowdown if talks became productive.
Morris said that the firemen were doing everything necessary to keep fire fighting equipment in good working order, but that they were not doing clean-up work.
Comic Music Frat Recital To Earn Scholarship Fund
Phi Kappa Lambda, professional music fraternity at the University of Kansas, will present a faculty comedy recital at 3:30 Sunday afternoon in Swarthout Recital Hall. The purpose of the recital is to raise money for music scholarships.
According to Richard Angeletti, associate professor of piano and president of the music fraternity at KU, the rectal will be a member for about 28 members of the music faculty.
Anglettle said that in the past the recital had been a serious concert, but that this year the fraternity had decided to make it a comedy.
"It's going to be hilarious," said Andrea. "And he's making fun of music and of each other."
The proceeds from the concert will be used for music scholarships at KU. Each year between $250 and $300 is given in scholarships to the most outstanding
student in each class, Angelietti said.
Members of the piano, voice, strings,
winds and music education faculty will
participate in the program.

Her performance is being sponsored by the International Theatre Arts Committee. Uchiyana studied Kabuki dance at the Mizuki School in Tokyo. She also studied modern dance with Martha Graham in New York.
