HIS MAJESTY

His Majesty Mr. Vorsanger mad~ it eminently clear the other day in Community Council that he, as grand fiscal wizard, was all-powerful in student financial matters. The issue, of course, was the ad­ ministration's failure to honor checks appropriated from Student Senate funds to finance the Committee on Minority Recruitment and ArkPIRG. The memo attached to the returned "purchase requests" indicated why the administration decided to refuse the Student Senate's appropriation recommendation. The Committee on Minority Recruitment was refused funds on a technicality.: "Expenses in connection with the moving of house-hold goods or personal effects for any employee, or prospective employee, is not allowed under Stale and University Regulations." ArkPIRG funds are not approved since, "Alloca­ tion of University funds for purposes unknown are not permitted." "I'm asking you to put aside portison politics this election year I" Thus the administration issued substantive reaaons (albeit silly ones) for disapproving the funds . And yet when Mr. Vorsanger finally decides the checks are okay, he blames "procedural reasons" for the delay. Aw , come on , Fred.

TALKIN' LOUD- SAYING NUTHIN' Yes comrades, the sweet smell of pollen is now in the air and with it goes the sweet odor of mendacity that comes from the lips of the great mass of intellectuals known as the administration of the University of Arkansas. For those of you who don't know what I mean, I am speaking of the perpetual mind game that the Powers that Be try to run with the change of every season . Settle back, screw your wig on tight, fire up a joint, and let me tell you about this thing called Administrative Might.

HEW came on the yard in 1970 and gave the University something that a lot of us knew was coming all along. They found the University lacking in its dealings with racial minorities on campus, namely blacks. Now most of us are aware that HEW can pull a lot of good punches on those institutions that don't want to adhere to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 so we felt that for once the Administration would not be able to bust its way out of its own prison. Alas, we were mistaken. The University held its own position of complacency until 1971 when another HEW team arrived and seemed to make a bit more noise. That was when the boys in the Ad­ ministration building released a statement, after much pressure from student government, stating that the enrollment of black students at the UofA had increased by almost one hundred students, that two black professors had been hired since 1970, and among other trivia, that the University had hosted a number of black speakers on campus, among them were Muhammed Ali , Dick Gregory, and Julian Band. Folks, that was just a big bunch of lies if I have ever heard of the word. Let me run down the actual people who have served to accomplish those goals. Black Americans for Democracy (BAD ) has done much of the black student recruitment on this campus without the help and assistance of the Administration. Those students that are not directly ATHLETIC$ , recruited by BAD are recruited by friends or relatives or they come .- .. here because of their particular major fields of study. As far as actual ,, _. .,. • obtainment of speakers was concerned, this was done through the . . - .. .. •,4!: Symposium series that is sponsored not by the Administration but by the - student body , in the past by ASG and presently by the Symposium ...... committee of the Student Union. Recruitment of black professors is .. ·- another mistatement or else there would be more black professors. It • seems most strange to me that the University can afford to hire a football coach for $34 ,000 (as of two years ago) and they cannot afford to hire and maintain professors. So you see that the Administration Building is the den of a big Monster that talks about as straight as a snakes trail in a forest fire. How long this kind of stuff will go on is unknown to me. It is obvious that it won 't stop soon because of what Vorsanger pulled last week in holding ASG funds . You can bet your bottom dollar that this brother is not going to keep quiet about it ; look for me in the TRAVELER, each week, and we will rap awhile. Let's get over on the Administration. -Powell .in the McGehee Timei WE DELL L. GRIFFEN THE ARKANSAS TRAVELER Wednesday, April 12, 197:>.

Talkin' K-KEG Blues It was one a .m. on lhe interstate just north of Terre Haute, Ind., and I was well into my 13th hour of driving and my second pack of cigarettes. The FM was playing to keep me awake when the D .J ., who had been silent for about a half an hour, suddenly exclaimed, in a quasi-Wolfman Jack voice, "Ya caint boogie with no antyquated AM radio.

The man's statement kept me awake and O'"I the road for another half hour before I crashed at an eight dollar motel.

During that half hour I thought about the great FM stations I had heard on the road from New York . All along the interstate system the dial was full of FM stations airing really excellent , few commercials and a satisfying absence of D.J . "cutesy-pie."

No question about it, when the hitchhiker I picked up at Howard Johnson's turned out to be a sleep freak, the FM programming made the August trip in my Volks bearable.

The next morning, with my rider and Terre Haute behind me, I headed to St. Louis. Just on the other side of the city I hit another FM station. As long as the station was in range, the sound of good rock kept coming. With commercial breaks only between sides, the station played all of the just released "Every Picture Tells A Story" by Rod Stewart and side two of "Abbey Road." All this free music on a Saturday afternoon.

College audiences have caused this near-revolution in FM programming during the past ten years. FM was once almost tt,~ ex­ clusive domain of classical music. The emergence of quality by first rate rock artists was followed by FM stations established to serve a growing audience. The e stations are the alternative to AM . Fewer commercials, better music and intelligent presentation take the place of the screaming D.J . who played the same 15 records over and over. High quality rock FM .stations are in operation all across the country, except in Fayetteville. We have K-KEG .

One of the D .J . s' who works for "the Keg" once remarked to me that the station's philosophy is to broadcast to a college audience and to emulate WLS in Chicago. This is an obvious contradiction. I stopped TUE AL ·tnt" BRAGGS REVUE will appear at the Rink Saturday night as part of Black Emphasis Week. listening to WLS when Dick Bondi was fired.

Tickets to see this Dallas based group are available in the Union at $3.00 per person and will also be sold at the door. The established format on K-KEG is "Top 40," which means we have standard AM programming on an FM station. The problem is that university students buy and listen to albums, not singles. No one over •14 years old really cares what is Number One this week. The important thing is good music, something that Top 40 usually does not supply. Expand that playlist.
