charts, maps, and diagrams that Dr. Baxter has prepared especially for this program, Bill Whitley, producer, said.
Initial broadcast of the show is set for Saturday at 11 a.m. The program will be telecast over channel two.
Dr. Baxter is very eager to get students to participate in the program personally. A classroom type meeting will be held which will coincide with the actual telecast.
An enrollment of 25 is needed for studio participants who will enjoy the same benefits as those at home, Dr. Baxter explained. They will receive one college credit unit upon completion of the course and by passing the final exam which will be given on the SC campus.
Public Takes Part Those who are in the studio, Dr. Baxter said, will have the opportunity after the telecast, to participate in a very informal and friendly discussion period headed by him.
He feels that the smaller a class, the more informal it can be and thinks that this will provide an ideal opportunity for those interested.
Registration is still open for those wishing to be actual participants in the studio.
By presenting this type of course on TV, CBS and Dr. Baxter have managed to accumulate several laurels in “Firsts.”
First Literary Show Dr. Baxter believes that this is the first time this idea has been presented to the general public in this area. It is definitely the first time that a telecast dealing with this literary study has been given anywhere.
It may also be the first time anywhere that the studio audience will be the actual students taking part in the course.
Deadline for registration is Oct. 9th. All those in doubt of the procedure or those wishing any type of information regarding registration may call the University College at RI. 2311, Ext. 232.*
Four Plays Dr. Baxter is presenting four of Shakespeare’s most popular works. They will be “Romeo and Juliet,” “Richard II,” “The Twelfth Night” and “King Lear.”
“This type of program is sftrt of a pioneering adventure and I personally urge as many students and non-students as possible to follow this series. If not for actual credit, then for their own enjoyment,” Dr. Baxter said.
“I feel that this is the ultimate destiny of television—to be used in all ways and to benefit all sorts of people,” he said. “I think that people are now hungry for this type of thing which can not only prove to be entertaining but at the same time educational.” “Personally this entire venture has been most exciting to me. The actual telecasting, the makeup, the people I meet in the studio including all the technicians and workers around the sets, are all most interesting,” Dr. Baxter continued.
Public Praise “And oddly enough,” Dr. Baxter explained, “it is the technicians and studio personnel who are the ones that have been so very interested and responsive, asking questions of me, right and left.”
“I feel that I have a greater sense of communication with the public by doing television work . . . much greater than I have ever felt by broadcasting over the radio. Also the response of the general public toward Shakespeare on TV has been rather gratifying to me,” he added.
Receives 200 Letters Over 200 letters' have been received in response to the first an-* nounoement concerning the telecasting plans of Dr. Baxter’s talks
on the CBS television network.
At least 70 of these have been actual applications for credit and the rest are from those who wish to participate actively, but desire no college credit.
“I am strongly of the impression that as time goes on, there will appear on TV screens everywhere a long series of these programs featuring many different subjects and will be taught by various educators,’* Dr. Baxter concluded.
OLD SUBJECT, NEW MEDIUM—Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, continues to lecture on his favorite subject—Shakespeare, but with a new twist. Dr. Baxter's talks on the Bard of Avon are being presented via the television screen to students of Shakespeare who may enroll for the one-unit university credit course. (Courtesy Herald-Express)
Rad Bea Follows Army Hubby East; Plan New Election
SC is temporarily without a student body vice-president. Radmilla Gogo Bea, ASSC vice-president, did not return to SC this fall, in a letter to Mrs. Edwarda White, counselor of women, she explained that the Army unexpectedly transferred her husband, Alvaro, former SC student, to New Jersey
and she is accompanying him to the East.
Witmer Fills In
Mrs. Bea and Mrs. White asked Virginia Witmer to take over the duties of coordinating the SC social activities until the ASSC Senate takes action to fiU the vice-president’s position. Witmer, who lost in a run-off election to Mrs-Be^last spring, will fill the job until the Senate makes an appointment at the Sept. 30 meeting.
The Sente’s appointee will be the vice-president prom-tempore, serving until a special election is held to elect a new vice-president.
In Conjunction Campus politicians say it is likely that the vice-presidential election will be held in conjunction with the freshman class elections Oct. 6-7.
Miss Witmer is being assisted by Carol Brown, Shirley Egland, Joan Nelson, and Minnie Brown. One of these women will be in the office, 328 SU, every afternoon from lto 3:30.
Groups planning social functions, however, must file their petitions with Mrs. Edwarda White,
233 SU.
Married In May
Vice - president - elect Radmilla Gogo was married to Alvaro Bea in May. Bea, who received his AB from SC in June, 1952, was an international relations major and a member of Sigma Chi frater nity.
Mrs. Bea expects to take her senior studies at Columbia university. When Bea completes his Army service, the couple hope to return to Southern California and both enter the SC School of Law.

A-Book Sales End Friday Afternoon
Student activity books will be | books also are required to have
on sale until Friday for those wishing to use them for the Minnesota game said John Morley, university ticket manager. Price of the season ticket is $13 and it will admit its owner to all athletic activities during the school year, with the exception of a possible additional charge foy basketball games. In addition, each activity book holder will be entitled to a copy of the SC yearbook, El Ro^.eo, and will be given reduced *ates to SC drama de-par^ ..ent productions.
The books may be purchased until Friday at 3460 University avenue, across from Founders Hall, from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and tonight through Thursday evening from 5-7.
One Unit Required
“A paid fee bill of 1 unit or more is all that is necessary for a student to be eligible for the activity book,” stated Morley.
Married students may obtain “Spouse Books” for their husbands or wives who are not regis tered at SC at the same time as the regular books if the other member of the family has also purchased a book.
“This year, holders of spouse
their pictures taken for the books,” stated Morley, “the same as regular holders.”
50 Cent Increase
There is a 50 cent increase over last year’s activity book price, due to the two $5 games on the football schedule, UCLA and Notre Dame.
Morley considers the SC activity book holder? the least expensive in the country, since it entitles the holder to a copy of El Rodeo in addition to the athletic activities.
Claim checks will be issued to purchasers for the Minnesota and Indiana games, announced Morley. Completed activity booWs with photographs will be distributed before the Oregon State game.
A fee bill, proving a student’s registration, must be presented when purchasing an activity book.

Without either original fee bill or a duplicate, an activity book cannot be purchased.
