The programs will feature the five most popular tunes played during the week as determined by a campus wide popularity poll. Each organized house will have a representative who will send KFKU a list of the five tunes played most in his or her house for that week.
From these listings the five hit tunes of the week will be selected according to the number of listings each tune receives.
The program will include a short resume of the week's current campus news and also the presentation of a student leader who will be chosen to present his or her views on a subject of current student interest.
The program will be organized and written by William Stanfill, journalism junior, under the direction of R. Edwin Browne, director of radio.
The "KU Hit Parade" will be the first program of this type ever attempted by University radio. The idea was originated by Mr. Browne in an effort to provide a program for the students concerning student "life and thoughts."
"It will also "provide a window through which the people of the state may view the thoughts and actions of their University students," Mr. Browne said.
