Opens To Be
Reviewed
A committee wasformedyes
terday by Student Life "to re
view the situation of open dorms
in relation to their being con
ducive to co-habitatlon.” The
action evolved from the faculty
meeting on Tuesday which ask
ed that dorm life and spe
cifically co-habitatlon be re
viewed by the Student Life Com
mittee.
When asked for further in
formation one residence di
rector emphasized that, “The
problem is not with open dorm
policy. It Is with the abuse of
that policy on the part of a few
students. Unless we can come
up with some clearly effective
means of preventing these a-
buses, there is litUe doubt that
the open-dorm era is over.
And that, I believe, would be
tragic, because only with open
dorms can the campus social
life be anything close to hu
mane.”
Ken Watkins, Student As
sociation president, noted that
it was unlimited hours that are
being reviewed, and not the
actual policy of open dorms.

of Edinburgh in 1934. 'Dr. Hall

Serving as governor 1961-
1965, his administration was
marked by advances in edu

dustrial development, and cre-
ation of the Good Nei^bor
Council. Returning to the prac
tice of law, he also headed
for two years “A Sudy of A-
merlcan States,” a Duke-based
project directed at increasing
the effectiveness and respon
siveness of state governments.
From this study came a txx)k,
“Storm over the States,” pub
lished In 1967. It followed an
earlier book, “But What about
the People?”, describing de
velopments in education dur
ing his term as governor.
Elected sixth president of
Duke University In December,
1969, Mr. Sanford currently
is on the tioard of visitors at

Faculty Rejects Plans;
Exam Week Re-accepted
‘In order to avoid the con
fusion, discontent and apparent
inequities resulting from the
present testing congestion,’’the
faculty Wednesday rejected
four proposals for changes in
exam schedules. The exam po
licy for next year will be a
resumption of the five-day exam
week, with 3-hour blocks of
time allotted each course. The
actual giving of exams will still
be at the discretion of each
course instructor.
The rejected proposals were
an attempt to modify the present
policy without a resumption of
the exam week schedule. They
follow: first, that the registrar
be empowered to establish a
testing schedule for each course
within the regular class sche
dule during the last seven class
days of the Fall term in co
operation with the Division
Chairmen.
Second, that such a testing
schedule Include the require
ment that the testing possibi
lities for each course be limit
ed to two specific class meet
ings, and that the only tests
given during the last seven class
days of the term must be given
on days and at times specified
by the registrar.
Third, that an instructor
wishing to give a three-hour
block examination may do so
by canceling three class meet
ings during one of the last
seven class days of the term
and holding a three-hour block
examination during the even
ing (7:00-10:00 p.m.) on a date
specified by the registrar In
cooperation with the Division
Chairman. Fourth, with the pro
vision that all classes will meet
the last instructional day of
the course.
FCC Report 4195
May Affect WSAP
BY CHARLIE GOTTENKIENY
On April 9, 1971, the Federal
Comm unlcations Commission
in Washington issued Report
No. 4195 which is an “Inquir
er Into Carrier-current Radio
Stations” . . . with “Comments
Asked on Operational Require
ments for Interconnection With
Other Systems.” The signl-
flance of this report is that
the FCC is currently seeking
more information on college
radio stations, with the possible
Intent to impose regulations on
these stations, which are cur
rently not under FCC Jurisdic
tion.”
While no one can tell at
present what sort of regula
tions the FCC might place on
college stations, some of them
can be guessed. Censorship in
several forms, equivalent to
that used on commercial radio,
would be exercised. More strict
commercial and equipment logs
might well enter the picture.
Very significantly, associate
broadcasts with other stations,
such as moratorium networks
and the like, would be highly
regulated or stoived. Thus, po
litical stands of the U.S. Go
vernment could affect FCC in
tervention in college stations.
The most important loss to
college stations would l>e that
freedom which most of them
now enjoy to a great degree.
Federal control would destroy
a good deal of the creativity
and innovative presently found
in college radio.
Though the FCC has taken
no steps to regulate carrier-
current stations at this time.
It will be interesting to wait
and see the results of Report
4195 and the current inves
tigation of college-carrier ra
dio stations. For now, WSAP
and other stations like it can
only await the FCC decision
and speculate on its results.
