New KU Radio Division To Coordinate AM, FM Stations
The organization of a new radio division of the University of Kansas and the appointment of R. Edwin Browne, 38, as the director of radio was announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Browne also will supervise the development of KU.'s television plans. An application for a TV channel now is in the hands of the Federal Communications commission.
The department of radio will supervise the operation of both KFKU, the University AM station, and KANU, the FM station that will go on the air next fall.
Browne comes to his new position from Graceland college, Lamoni, Iowa, where he has been director of public relations and alumni secretary since 1946. He has been taking graduate work in journalism at KU. this semester.
He was director of education and religion for KMBC in Kansas City Mo. 1940-44. He then served as director of public relations at KU for two years before going to Graceland.
Browne was graduated from K.U. in 1938. For the next two years he did graduate work and also served as announcer and newscaster for station WREN.
Station KFKU will continue broadcasting from its studios in the Engineering Experiment station. No immediate change in its five-hours-a-week schedule is planned.
KANU will probably be on the air six hours daily at first. Although its main studio will be at the tower site, it will be linked to other studios on the main campus, including the one in the new journalism building.

Ewert Fund Was Largest Drive
The $3,000 raised for the Ronnie Ewert scholarship fund is the largest amount ever collected by students at the University for a scholarship.
The Endowment association records show that only three campaigns have approached the Ronnie Ewert drive in scope. The Beulah M. Morrison scholarship drive raised $2,300 in 1949 in memory of Professor Morrison of the psychology department. It was sponsored by the K.U. Delta Gamma chapter and alumni. The interest on the fund is awarded each year to an outstanding psychology student.
The Associated Women's Memorial scholarship of $2,100 was completed a year ago in memory of all the women who have been killed while attending the University. The income from it is given each year to a worthy wwoman student.
The Flora S. Boynton scholarship fund includes $1,700 raised by Summerfield students and alumni. Income from this fund is awarded annually to an outstanding boy entering the University. Mrs. Boynton was secretary to the Endowment association.
Ronnie's fund will be invested by the Endowment association and should grow to $4,000 by the time he is 18. It will be used to finance his education wherever he goes to school.
3 To Attend Convocation
Three University students will attend the quadrennial National Convocation of Methodist Youth August 27-31 at Purdue university, Lafayette, Ind.

The student religious council is collecting used textbooks to send to students in Japan. Students may leave their used books in a box in the Student Union book store. They will also be collected in the organized houses and picked up by council members at the end of final week.
