he's mentioned the WTOP issue to point out that the FCC was an independent commission and not alligned along party lines. He said the FCC had been criticized for holding up the lie about the WTOP when it filed the FCC complaint of the license 60 days before the criticism began.
Wells said the Fairness Doctrine of the FCC was vaguely defined to leave room for movement by the individual stations and networks. The Fairness Doctrine holds that if one side of an issue is presented by a facilitator, the other side must be presented also.
The Fairness Dectrine, Wells explained, does not contain an "equal time" provision. He said that whether a station or network must provide equal time was decided by the FCC on an individual basis. Some stations, he were ordered to allow equal time, others weren't.
After Wells spoke, he answered questions from the audience. Regarding the powers held by the FCC, he said, "Frankly, the FCC can do about anything that it wants to."
The major controversy surrounding the equal time issue is the view held by some members of Congress to dismiss President speaks, his opposition should be allowed equal time to present their views—at least in public.
Wells pointed out that the FCC had interests in other areas besides broadcasting. The company is also a co-ordinator for Telephone and Telegraph Co., Western Union and a domestic satellite program for com

was based on procedural matters, said there was no prior circulation of the agenda of the University Senate meeting at which the Senate considered, as required by the Senate Code.
Lack of such circulation prevented time for uncertainty of a major policy change and the loss of market share.
Herman Lajan, chairman of the political science department, termed Gorton's dismission the amendment on procedural grounds as "mit-nicking."
"If the amendment deals with such a major change policy, discussion should have been allowed."
Ebert said that if the students and faculty had not been so lackadassic and had at least some real connection to the ones that interested them, a quorum could have been established and the present conference would have gone.
Throughout the controversy surrounding the bill, one point remains almost universally true: students are not the student representation. However, opinions vary as to the degree and form that such issues have come to.
Although Gorton denounced student involvement at the Senate meeting as "a mess of self-interest," he said his week that he does not object to student involvement, but rather to a student decision.
"Students have ideas, but they don't have expertise in determining degree requirements," Gorton said. "Students midway in a course of study don't know what

Gorton said that the role of the faculty was to teach and that of the student was to learn. He noted that such policy making had always been an issue of which would be a weakness of education.
In response to Gorton's statement that article 3.4.2 was "an imponment on faculty rights," William Silvert, assistant professor of physics said, "Some people think that stimulus is their burthright; most faculty aren't born to the cap and they earn them."
Gorton said he objected to a University-wide dictation authority to individual schools and stated that representation should be followed each school to maintain its autonomy.
Von Ende stated that the amendment did not imply a "monolithic takeover."

Professors Sponsor 'Hour for Listening'
Two associate professors in the School of Fine Arts are sponsoring a "Contemporary Listening Hour" at 3:30 p.m. every Thursday in room 261.
The two professors are Edward Matilla and Charles Hoag, both in the music theory and composition department.

many actually know the music itself through thoughtful listening?"

And the same could be said for many 20th century composers," he added. "The works of Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and Stravinsky, Matila said, the works of Bartok, Schoenherr, Ives, Cater, Penderech and many others are included in the bulk of serious twentieth-century music to help examples from the bulk of serious twentieth-century music to help them."
Although the emphasis is on listening, Mattilla said, discussion and comments are welcomed. Any student or faculty member may attend
