Recreation Problems Draw Parks Congress The relationship of parks and recreation to major domestic issues was the focal point of the 1968 Congress for Recrea tion and Parks, held last week at the Seattle Center in Se attle. “Under the theme “Crisis, Challenge, Change,” students and faculty member from the Department of Recreation and Park Management discussed such topics as the loss of mu nicipal park space, urban un rest, air and water pollution, personnel shortages and innova tions in technical and adminis trative practices. Lynn Rodney, head of the University Department of Recre ation and Park Management, was program chairman of the Con gress. Other faculty members attending the Congress were ASUO Sponsors 'Time-Out' Day “Time Out,” a day to offer University students a chance to get acquainted with various programs on campus, has been planned by the ASUO. The date is set for Oct. 29. It is also a National Student As sociation day. The goal of “Time-Out” day, according to ASUO president Dick Jones, is to increase awareness and understanding on the part of the student toward opposing interests. "Time-Out” day offers Uni versity students an opportunity to bring together opposing fac tions and ask any questions they might have. The different agencies of the Program Council have scheduled cultural, educational, social and entertaining programs for that day. Detailed information con - corning this day will appear in the Emerald later this week. Charles Reich, Phyllis Ford, Lar ry Decker, William Sparks and Robert Haworth.

Sigma ASpha Mu Organizes Group Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, which received final approval to colonize from the Intcrfraternity Council last Wednesday, will hold an organizational meeting tonight, at 9:00 p.m., 800 East 18th, apartment 8.

KWAX Format Draws DJ Fire Broadcast majors will contin ue to appeal to the public for support in the controversy over the new format for radio sta tion KWAX, according to L e e Wood, spokesman for the group. In a statement released today, the disc-jockies called upon pro gram officials to reconsider the new broadcast format which eliminates “middle-of-the-road” or popular music from the program schedule. “As broadcasting majors we feel that the abolishment of ‘disc jockey’ shows with this type of music is a great loss,” said the statement, “We cannot com - plain about the goals of the new format. KWAX is a non commercial station that should provide some alternative to com mercial stations. “But, without any program - i ming similar to commercial sta tions, KWAX has lost its in structional value to us. It no longer provides the training ground that a station in its po sition should.” The broadcast group is hop ing public pressure will force adviser Bill Wallingham to re appraise the value of the new format. “We do not want to go over heads to get our way,” said Wood. “We don’t want to make enemies.” The new format schedules classical music nightly between 6 and 9 p.m.; special programs from 9 to 10 p.m. and progres sive music, (folk rock) begin ning at 10 p.m. Middle-of-the-road music oc cupied a 3 to 6 p.m. shift until recently.
