WFTU Solicits License Within the next 30 days, FTU may receive approval from the state's Department of General Services to apply for a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license for the proposed WFTU-FM radio station. If this approval comes through, it will take several months for the FCC to rule on an application for the license. In addition, the problems of funding the FM station and locating the transmitter remain unresolved, so it is still only a possibility for the future. However, if the university does get the go-ahead for actual broadcasting, it will already have a professional stereo production facility. Last Monday, Dr. Thomas Morgan, associate professor of communication, granted final approval to seek bids for the facility, which is intended for use by the present AM radio station. It will include two completely equipped stereo turntables, 10-channel stereo consoles, reel-to-reel tape units and record-playback cartridge machines. With this new equipment. WFTU-AM hopes to bring more professional quality to its broadcasts and its taped programs on local stations WLOQ, WTRR and WLOF. WMMMMMMMMMWMWmUi/// JANUARY 18,1974 From UF To BOH: York Gets Office By Louise Montgomery Miami Herald Staff Writer An Alabama farmer who looks like a university president but has never had the title has been named the third chancellor of the Florida system of universities. The stately gray-haired interim president of the University of Florida will move into the Board of Regents office in Tallahassee in September to prepare for the chancellor's job he will assume in June 197 5 when Robert Mautz retires. York, named Friday, will be running the state's $350 million business of higher education without ever having been a university president. But it won't be the first time the personable 51-year-old has skipped a step on his way to the top. When he directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture extension service, he was the youngest man to have held that job. But York's habit of moving into top jobs temporarily stopped when he became provost for agriculture at the University of Florida in 1963. Despite speculation that he was brought to Gainesville to take over the university, York remained in the agriculture school. As Director of the Institute of Food and Agriculture Services, he went to the legislature for ever-increasing grants and built a wide following among legislators and farmers. "He's a very impressive advocate of his programs," said Sen. Bob Graham (D-Miami), chairman of the Senate Education committee. York's "managerial perspective" and involvement at UF cause him to favor York's appointment as chancellor, Graham said. But even people who have worked with York at UF say they know little about him as a person. He's all business, several associates said, and he jealously guards his good image. "He had his troubles with the press," said a man York took with him from public relations at the Institute when he became executive vice president of the university last March. "He's very thin-skinned," another associate said of York's anxious reaction to criticism. York has been a member of National Academy of Sciences committee and was one of two U.S. delegates to the World Conference on Agriculture in Copenhagen in 1970. He has been invited to take presidencies of several colleges, said Ed Price, but he turned them down to stay in Florida. Price is a former state senator and chairman of the Florida Citrus Commission.

(Photo by Pete Wilcox) Semester Plan May Be Adopted A task force working with the Florida Board of Regents is now considering the adoption of a common academic calendar, based on a modified semester plan, for the entire State University System. BOR Approves Revised SCSGP Proposal By Mike Myers Extended dorm visitation hours came one step closer to reality last week when the State Board of Regents unanimously approved the proposal submitted to them by the State Council of Student Body Presidents (SCSBP). The proposal allows for visitation between menbers of opposite sexes from 2 p.m. - midnight on weekdays and from 2 p.m. - 2 a.m. on weekends. This exceeds present hours by one hour on weekday evenings and two on weekend evenings. These time represent the guidelines under which schools in the State University System are to operate. Each institution has the option of selecting its own specific restrictions. If these times receive final approval, they will be adopted by most schools because they have been formally endorsed by the BOR. Fred Parker, chairman of the BOR Facilities Committee, commended the work of the SCSBP when he announced that the committee had given its full support to the proposal. He said their thorough handling of the matter had completely satisfied his committee. Parker added that the committee was so impressed by the case presented by the SCSBP that they would be receptive to a further extension of the hours in the near future. He said the present restrictions, which were established in 1971, are unrealistic and that students have proven themselves to be worthy of longer visitation periods. FTU Student Government President Lee Constantine, who is chairman of the SCSBP, spoke to the BOR just prior to its voting. In his speech he supported the proposal with substantiating arguments. Among othe r factors, he pointed out that nearly all resident students are 18 years of age or older, and are therefore entitled to full majority rights. His contention was that students should be extended the same measure of personal freedom as other adults. The question of extended visitation hours initially came to the attention of the facilities committee at the December BOR meeting. At that time it considered a report prepared by the SCSBP and decided to postpone action until the matter could be studied at greater length. The report contained petitions signed by nearly 10,000 dissatisfied dorm students and the council's recommendation for changes. During the period between the December and January BOR meetings a second report was prepared by the SCSBP and distributed to each board member. It contained direct responses to the questions raised by Parker regarding the effects of longer visitation hours. With the endorsement of the BOR, the visitation proposal now needs the approval of the State Board of Education (BOE) to become the official policy of the system. According to Constantine, the final step could pose a problem. He explained that the BOE, which consists of the governor and his cabinet, is relatively (Continued on Page 2) semester modified call for spring About 98,000 state university students follow a quarter system, while about 1.10,000 junior college students in Florida are mostly on semester plans. This does not include most Florida high school students who also follow systems. If adopted, the semester plan would 16-week fall and semesters plus a twelve-week summer semester divided into two six-week grading periods. A Dec. 6 meeting of the state university faculty senates produced no agreement on the issues of having a common calendar or a modified semester as opposed to a quarter system. FTU, the University of Florida and the University of South Florida favored a common semester system; West Florida favored a common quarter system; and Florida Atlantic and Florida International Universities abstained from voting on these issues. The State Council of Student Body Presidents favors the retention of the quarter system for the state universities. The task force must take into account these conflicting results. Even if the group decides in favor of the common semester system, it would not take effect until at least the fall of 1975. Members of FTU's Energy Conservation Task Force met Monday to discuss their progress and new proposals. Four-day class schedules and car pool response were also covered. See Story on page three.
