SATISFIED:

CULTURAL CENTER
...at Grand Rapids
By ROBERT GRODY
The graduate Architecture Stu-
dio presented an, exhibition of
he Proposed Cultural Center for
Grand Rapids yesterday.'
The exhibition was the culmin-
ation of a graduate project by
students in the architecture de-
partment of the College of Archi-
ecture and Design. The project
was the result of a request from
he city of Grand Rapids to the
University for a master plan of
a cultural center.
The Center, although worked out
o great detail, is still only a
plan and will be used by Grand
Rapids'as a guide to further study.
t is complete with recreation fa-
ilities, including a YMCA, build-
I'o Show Film
OIn Hospital Ship
The International Center will
show a film at its regular Thurs-
lay tea at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow.
The film deals with the recent
Asian trip of the hospital ship S.S.
Iope, including stops in India,
Cambodia, and Indonesia. The
ilm is open to the public,

ings for entertainment and social
clubs, museums and furnishings
for the arts and all the necessary
services.
Student Project
The team of six graduate archi-
tecture students elaborated on the
models and slides used in the
display. The students working on
the project were: Fakhri Baker,
Grad; Sewa Barmi, Grad; James
Haecker, Grad; Vincent Hatlen,
Grad; Gopal Mitra, Grad, and Kay
Ting, Grad.
Although some projects are
sometimes initiated, the general
policy of the architecture depart-
ment is not necessarily directed
towards assigning projects to stu-
dents to suit specific needs of the
University or any other group.
The program in architecture
consists of eight sequential de-
sign courses, each dealing with its
own specific objective. The main
goal of the department of archi-
tecture is teaching the subject.
The instructor in the elementary
courses specifies building types
which he feels will help teach stu-
dents to cope with the specific
questions presented in the course.
Practical Projects
A unique example of a project
put to practical use is the Archi-
tecture Research Building. The fa-
miliar modernistic structure was
designed by the faculty of the ar-
chitecture department and erect-
ed in the early fifties.
The building is used by the de-
partment for faculty offices and
as a research laboratory. It em-
ploys a new principle of construc-
tion: the "Unistrut." "Unistrut" is
a structural principle that can be
used in various ways to frame
buildings, storage racks, and oth-
er structures.
A large number of advantages
are immediately evident in this
new type of construction. Build-
ings designed with "Unistrut" can
be manufactured in the United
States and shipped to areas such
as Alaska or the African rain-
forests where climatic conditions
usually inhibit conventional con-
struction. In addition, these'
buildings can be put together by
unskilled labor.

By BURTON MICHAELS
Located in one of the nation's
most heavily saturated radio
markets and competing with com-
mercial stations, not for profits
but for audiences, the University's
educational FM station, WUOM,
"must maintain the highest pro-
fessional calibre possible," Station
Manager Edwin G. Burrows said
recently.
Part of maintaining its calibre
involves WUOM's "unusually high
average of live programming."
About 60 per cent of its programs
are music, one tenth of which is
broadcast live, while the rest of
its 70-hour broadcasting week en-
tails "talks."
Sending from Peach Mountain,
as one of the area's strongest FM
transmitters with 230,000 watts,
WUOM reaches an estimated reg-
ular daily audience of 50,000-
100,000 insoutheastern Michigan,
and boasts a potential audience
of 500,000 and a yearly budget of
$200,000.
Sister Station
Serving southwestern Michigan
is WUOM's sister station, WVGR
of Grand Rapids, acquired in 1961
as an alumni gift. WVGR broad-
casts most of WUOM's programs,
as well as local news and local
school concerts.
For the rest of the state, FUOM
offers free recordings of its pro-
grams to commercial stations, of
which about 100 rebroadcast some
300 WUOM shows weekly. Out-
state stations obtain these record-
ings for one dollar plus postage,
and other educational stations get
them through the National Asso-
ciation of Educational Broadcast-
ers network.
"WUOM broadcasts more live
musical programs than any other
educational station in the country
and carries most University con-
certs through our lines into all
the auditoria. We feel live music
broadcasts better technically and
lends a uniqueness which cannot
be duplicated," Burrows said.
Regular Programs
Besides music, WUOM presents
several series of "talks." It has
regular newscasts, news commen-
taries and discussions of the busi-

The scientific papers written by
the eight students were selected
from among 21 submitted.

It broadcasts a daily children'si

dents; in areas not reached byT
WUOM or WVGR, commercial1

In addition, the, station pro-

lowed his recent 13-week series on

WUOM listeners. Each TuesdayI

Death Takes
Art Professor
Prof. Herbert R. Cross, whoi
served as the first professor ofx
fine arts at the University and
was chairman of the department
of fine arts for 11 years, died Sun-
day at the age of 85.
Prof. Cross, who was nationally
known as an art critic and lec-
turer, first joined the faculty in
1911 as assistant professor of fine
arts.
While at the University he also
served as curator of art at the
Museum of Art in Alumni Memo-
rial Hall.

WUOM broadcast reports on the
trial of U-2 pilot Francis Gary
Powers from Moscow, as well as
other programs from Canada,
Sweden, Germany and Japan.
Since its beginning in 1948,
WUOM has won many awards.
The Michigan Associated Press
Broadcasters Association, t h e
Ohio State Institute for Educa-
tion by Radio and Television, and
Billboard magazine have all rec-
ognized its work.
Prominent a m o n g WUOM's
plans for the future is participa-
tion in the establishment of a
nationwide education radio net-
work, to be realized in short
stages. Michigan's five educational
stations-WUOM, WVGR, Wayne
State University's WTVS, Mich-
igan State University's WRAR,
and Western Michigan Univer-
sity's WMCR-are already linked.
Join Wisconsin
The next step, which should be
completed this spring, is to join
with Wisconsin's 10-station net-
work. Then a midwest network
based on the Big Ten schools
would be formed. This could then
join with the network presently
operating on the east coast from
Maine to North Carolina. Event-
ually a national network could be
formed.
Although t h e majority of
WUOM programs would remain
local under a national network,
the station would have the best
work produced available immed-
iately. At present it must wait
about 10 days for recordings of
other educational stations' shows.
The decreased volume'of work
which more network shows would
cause would allow WUOM to con-
centrate more on the quality of
every program. But lack of funds
is retarding progress toward a
national network.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
of a five-part series of profiles on
the several officials in the Office
of Student Affairs.)
By RONALD WILTON
Busier than he was before the
Office of Student Affairs reorga-
nization, Vice-President for Stu-
dent Affairs James A. Lewis re-
laxed just before intersession and
viewed the effects of the reorgani-
zation on his office.
The new development Lewis
likes best is being in the same
building with his colleagues. "We
hold staff meetings once or twice
a week in order to constantly eval-
uate our programs," he said re-
cently. "It is also a big help to be
able to go upstairs and confer
with someone when necessary."
Moves Easily
Lewis said that the office is
moving along, "fairly easily and
quite comfortably," under the new
structure. "There are some gaps
in our lines of demarcation and
responsibility, but we are making
sure that everything is being tak-
en care of. We want to make sure
that everybody with a manager-
ial job knows what he is respon-
sible for and knows with whom
things are to be checked."
Adequate Structure
As far as the adequacy of the
new structure is concerned he
laughingly asserted that "we"have
quite enough tents now."
Lewis explained that his added
work load stems from the fact
that he has assumed some of the
duties of the now vacant director
of housing post and will perform
these until he is able to appoint a
director.
He spends half his day either in
committee work, staff meetings or
in individual conferences with
members of his staff. He also takes
care of the ever-present corres-
pondence and telephone calls. The
rest of the day he tries to work
with students on matters ranging
from disciplinary problems and
residence hall guidance to confer-
ences with student leaders and
regular students.
He also spends time with other
