KDG U Ends Nine Months Of Broadcasting
Friday marked the end of nine months for radio station KDGU Programming began Sept. 14.
KDGU, which is a wired-wireless station, originally broadcasted to two freshman dorms, Corbin and North College halls. The programs were sent on a telephone line to a transmitter in the basement of the two houses. Students in these dorms select the station on their radio dial just like they do any other station.
On April 12 KDGU began programming to Battenfeld and Templin halls also Further plans for expansion next year are now being made.
The department of speech and drama and the William Allen White School of Journalism combined to create the new radio curriculum.
KDGU is a laboratory station where the student learns by doing. Students learn that radio isn't just "talking" over the air.
Staff meetings and informal talks between students, staff members and faculty advisor Gene Reynolds, speech instructor, and Don Dixon, associate professor of speech and drama, are held to devise and put into practice new methods for improving KDGU.
At the present time the staff consists of 17 members. All are full-time University students. The top positions are station manager, business manager, program director, continuity director, news director, traffic, chief engineer, chief announcer, and record librarian.
$2,500 Fund Set For Mother Nellis
Monday, May 24, 1954
The residents and alumni of Battenfeld hall, 160 strong, made it "Mother Nellis Night" as they held their annual alumni dinner in the Union ballroom Saturday night.
"Mother Nellis" is Miss Carlotta Nellis, who next month retires after 14 years as a housemother in men's scholarship halls.
The evening's high point came when Wallace Abbey of Chicago, an alumnus, told of the establishment of the Mother Nellis fund for which contributions already total more than $2,500.
The fund includes one gift of $1,000, which Miss Nellis may use for a long-planned trip to Europe. The income from the remainder will be used to purchase tickets for her to University events. Residual income will provide a men's scholarship.
Miss Nellis came to KU in 1940 as a housemother for Templin and Carruth halls, the first scholarship houses for men. In 1944 she moved to Battenfeld.
Her first job was at the municipal palatium in Orange county, New York. In 1915 she became supervisor of the YWCA cafeteria in Oakland, Calif. During World War I she was for 19 months at the YWCA hostess house at Ft. Riley. After the war she began a 19-year career as dietitian at Christ's hospital in Topeka.
Mother Nellis will continue to live in Lawrence, with Miss Margaret Perkins, retired children's librarian from the local public library.

They Shake Hands But Don't Speak
For the convenience of photographers, they shook hands—once. When asked to pose a second time, Mr. White snapped: "You're not going to make a pink tea out of this."
Mr. White, current president of the nation's second largest railroad, and Mr. Young, who wants to become its president at $1-a-year salary, appeared for successive 12-minute periods on the nationally televised NBC program "Meet the Press."

They decided who would appear first by flipping a coin. Mr. Young won three straight tosses. He called tails once, heads twice, and elected

Winner of the fight will be chosen at the Central's annual meeting at Albany, N. Y., Wednesday.
