KUOK move, expansion still in planning stage
KU's student radio, KUOK is considering plans to expand listenership this year and a proposed move.
Warren Agee, Dean of the Journalism School, said the space in Flint Hall being vacated by the University Press might be filled by KUOK.
The new transmitting units in McColum Hall, low powered central campus broadcasting and repaired facilities in large halls should; "boost our potential listenership to better than 5,000 by the end of the semester," said
Walt Biddle KUOK program director and Leavenworth junior.
THE CENTRAL campus broadcasting, with no completion date set, would enable transistor radios to receive KUOK within a half mile radius of Strong Hall.
With four operating transmitters, all on Daisy Hill, Ralph Haller, chief engineer, and Topeka freshman has a target date of mid-October for the expansion.
"We want to get transmitters in as many buildings as possible. The buildings I get requests from
will be the first to get transmitters," Haller said.
Haller blames a limited budget for the station's inability to equip many more halls and any fraternity or sorority house with the $50 units that feed the broadcast into the electrical current allowing reception for radios supplied with AC current.
KUOK, operating at 630 kilocycles broadcasts Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to midnight, and on Sunday from 2 p.m. until midnight.

Fall repertory set
The KU Theatre will hold its "First Fall Repertory Festival" throughout the week of October 10. This festival will feature the Experimental Repertory Company as they revive the four plays presented on the stage of the Experimental Theatre this past summer. On successive nights Romanoff and Juliet, The Adding Machine, Stop the World I Want to Get Off, and She Stoops to Conquer will play.
The Experimental Repertory Company is composed for the most part of recent high school seniors who auditioned for members of the theatre faculty last spring. Many of the young people have already indicated an interest in entering the newly established program in Acting.
One of the major goals of the Theatre Department this year will be to visit high school productions in this immediate area in search of new talent.
