News-In-Brief
Shooting Incident On Alderman
Several first-year students reportedly
fired a gun at a car as it was traveling
along Alderman Road Friday night.
The car driver, third year engineering
student Doug C. Gehring, told city police
the shot was fired through the left rear
window of his car at 10:55 p.m.
A passenger second year engineering
student John Eckert, chased about 10
youths to Balz House.
Detectives took names of four
juveniles at the dorm.
An investigation is pending.
WUVA Cable
WUVA, 89 FM, has announced the
exact procedures for receiving the new
station.
The broadcast can be received by
connecting a wire to a television cable
outlet, or to the antenna posts of a
television where the cable is already
attached and linking it to the FM antenna
posts on the radio or tuner.
WUVA advises listeners to try to pick
up the station without attaching the
cable. "Leakage" of the radio signal has
allowed listeners in some areas to pick up
the station without the cable, the station
said.
Calendar Reform
Recommendations made by the
Special University Committee on
Calendar Reform would allow the
self-contained, professional schools to
deviate from the early-start semester plan
"within reasonable limits."
The plan calls for completion of the
first semester by Christmas of the 1973-74
academic year. Final exams would be
given "as late in May as feasible."
The recommendations were sent to the
president's office early last month.
The final report, which will include
documentation and testimony recorded
in the open hearing for calendar reform in
January, is still to be submitted.
College faculty voted last week to
request President Edgar F. Shannon to
delay action on the recommendation to
allow the Committee on Curriculum and
Educational Policy of this faculty to
study the educational impact of the
proposal."
Their motion further resolved that the
Committee should report its findings in
time to allow changes in the calendar for
the 1974-75 academic year.

attack on February 1 at the Age Khan's
Bally many Stud in Kildare Ireland.
