REHOUSING THE RADIO STATION (11) T h e Board of Trustees has authorized the rehousing of the studios and offices of Station W I L L in the Lower Gymnasium of the W o m a n ' s Building. Because of the war it will be impossible to secure the required materials to proceed with the extensive remodeling necessary to carry out this rehousing program. Consequently the Director of the Radio Station and the Director of the Physical Plant Department have proposed housing the studios and offices of Station W I L L in Gregory Hall until permanent quarters can be provided. Due to the decrease in enrollment it is possible to take over certain areas in this building for the use of the Radio Station. T h e estimated cost of the remodeling necessary to convert them to such use is not more than $10,000. It is less extensive than the program for housing the Station in the W o m a n ' s Building and does not involve the use of restricted materials. T recommend that this program be authorized and that the expense be charged against the State appropriation for building remodeling. On motion of Mrs. Grigsby, these recommendations were adopted.
