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

'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.

The largest convention of its
kind in the United States, the
Congress attracted over 5,000
kind in the UnitedStates, the
persons concerned with many as
pects of parks, recreation and
conservation. The five-day meet
ing was sponsored by the Na
tional Recreation and Park As
sociation.
Principal speakers were Eric
Hoffer, longshoreman - philoso
pher and member of the Presi
dent’s Study Commission on Vio
lence; Whitney Young Jr., exec
utive director of the National
Urban League and a civil rights
leader; and Myrtle Reul, Uni
versity of Georgia sociologist
and authority on rural poverty.
Comedian Pat Paulsen, the
Serendipity Singers, and a spe
cial cruise of the Seattle super
ferry on Puget Sound headed a
list of entertainment at the
Congress.
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.
National field secretary for
SAM, Jim Peterson, will be pre
sent to answer questions.
SAM had a well-established
chapter at the university for
more than 30 years until mem
bership and financial problems
caused the fraternity to close
its doors about 8 years ago.
Sigma Alpha Mu is a national
fraternity with chapters and
colonies on 75 campuses in the
United States and Canada. Near
by chapters include Portland
State College and the University
of Washington.
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.
