It literally PAYS to make
good gradesatthe University

offer tuition rebates to full-
time undergraduates when

What happens to all that
cooking oil that so magically
turns the lowly potato into
that all-American favorite—
the french fry? Well, at Ohio
State University, it goes into
the fuel tanks of the campus
buses. Running on a blend
of 80 percent diesel and 20
percent kitchen oil, the
buses "cook" along with no
ill effects. Wonder if the
Columbus campus smells
like a giant french fry?

Moonlight and music «k*.*t«*t.u,
Soft breezes, a temperature reading of "delightful," and stars and moon overhead provided the tourist poster-
perfect setting last week for the UCF Community Orchestra's first open-air concert beside the reflecting pool. A
crowd of more than 500 enjoyed the light, musical selections, under the baton of Patricia Stenberg — plus a
special number conducted by President Co/bourn.
WUCF-FM granted power boost
With approval from the Federal
Communications Commission in
hand, Bob Arnold and Keith Fowles
are clearing the way for "the kind
of programming few communities
have ever heard."
The two, who oversee operations
of WUCF-FM on campus, have
received FCC sanction to boost the
station's power to at least 8,000
kilowatts, a move which will
stretch the broadcast signal to a
radius of 50 miles.
But first comes months of
preparing for the changeover. New
equipment must be ordered and
installed. Included will be a 110-
foot antenna to replace the one now
atop the UCF Library.
The teaming of Arnold and
Fowles at UCF re-unites two
veterans in radio who met more
than 30 years ago while they
attended the University of Maine.
Both went their separate ways in
broadcasting after graduation in
1950.
Arnold, who shed a budding
career in radio and TV for
academic robes enroute, is
professor of communication,
director of Instructional Resources,
and general manager of WUCF-FM.
Several months ago, with an eye

Keith Fowles, when the latter applied for the station manager's job at
WUCF-FM. The two had last seen each other upon graduation in 1950.
