FM broadcasts have not been heard on the St. Michael's College campus since the fall of 1970, when the former station, WSSE, operated briefly under student leadership. The new station at the Sloan Fine Arts Center will have a 10-watt transmission power, with an anticipated listening radius of about 35 miles, according to the station management.

Under the station's license, there will be no commercials or advertising. But, the station management will seek local sponsorship for special According to Edward Boland, manager of the new station, daily programming will consist of all types of music and cultural entertainment aimed at an 18-25-year-old audience. "We'll try to stick to a popular vein of music of all types," said the station's assistant manager, John O'Neil. "We'll offer music, news and other things to keep people alive that's what we want to do." Boland is a junior at St. Michael's, majoring in business Dick Gregory Is Arrested For Protest WASHINGTON (AP) -Comedian Dick Gregory has been arrested and charged with unlawful entry for kneeling in prayer among a line of tourists on the steps of the White House.

Gregory thus joined more than 65 persons who have been arrested since July 6 at the White House when they protested U.S. bombing in Cambodia. The comedian was arrested Tuesday after he and two others refused a request by White House guards to move along and stop blocking the line of tourists entering the White House.

"There is no place in the city where you can put up a building of the same footage as this one," he added. He pointed out that urban renewal plans at one time called for retention of the building, because the land was zoned industrial. "But all of a sudden the land use changed to commercial and it was decided that aesthetically the building had to go," he said. When a proposal was made last year by the Urban Renewal Agency to buy the building, Mayor Dominique Casavant declared that it was "untimely" to include the building within the scope of the neighborhood development action-year. "This kind of speculation runs contrary to an effective industrial operation and certainly runs contrary to further development of this site along these lines," the mayor said.

He said then that he considered an industrial base "an important factor in the fabric of a community" and pledged to "strive to maintain a balance of industrial as well as commercial and residential activity." Then he declared, "To change the use of this industrial building with the thought of maintaining the industrial identity of the town is at best somewhat whimsical." Casavant said there was "nothing shameful about the industrial nature of this building." "I consider that it would require little to make this building in its present use a considerable asset to the town in appearance as well as use," he said. Other members of the city council also expressed shock that the Urban Renewal Agency had made public plans to purchase the structure.

WINOOSKI FOR SOME time has been regarded as the hard-luck community of Chittenden County perhaps even the State of Vermont due to a series of misfortunes for which no one in the city really could be blamed.

It has not always been like that. There were halcyon days in the Forties when the woolen mills were humming and soldiers from old Fort Ethan Allen spent their dollars in the bustling city. Almost everyone in the city benefitted from that prosperity. But the good times did not last. Shorn of its chief industry back in the Fifties when the American Woolen Co.

mills closed, the city in the past two decades has been skidding ever deeper into the maw of depression, even though there have been some fairly massive injections of federal dollars in recent years to prop it up. That the city lacks some sort of magic touch in its jousting with destiny has been demonstrated time and time again over the past few years. The latest blow came when the Vermont Furniture Company's Malletts Bay Avenue plant was destroyed in a spectacular fire and 200 persons, many of them from Winooski, were thrown out of work. Though city officials claim they did everything possible to convince the company to rebuild in the city, it now appears that the hopes of retaining that industry are dim indeed. WITH ITS HEART being torn out by urban renewal bulldozers, the city soon may be nothing more than a shell of itself, a fact which is causing concern among some of its residents for its future.

And there are some who think that urban renewal plans might well have proceeded at a slower pace for the good of the city. At least 1,100 of them now are disturbed by plans to raze the Lavallee and Roy Inc. building on East Canal Street which was at one time part of the American Woolen Co. complex. They have signed a petition, asking the Urban Renewal Agency to hold off on the destruction of the building, noting the tax loss to the city "could be too great a burden to be borne by the.remaining taxpayers." The petition notes that taxes paid on the building from 1968 to 1972 are equal to those paid on about 50 homes a year.

The petition also notes that 84 jobs will be lost if the building is torn down. Wednesday, I toured the building with Raymond Roy, vice president of Lavallee and Roy Inc. and manager of J. and A. Realty.

A short, bespectacled man with graying sideburns, Roy undoubtedly has a sentimental, as well as a practical, attachment to -the old mill building (he worked there for 19 years for American Woolen as a superintendent and was manager of properties from 1954-56 after the mill closed). "All we're asking is to take the shadow of urban renewal away from us," he explained. "I know for a fact that with a very slight modification in the plans the building could be renovated, because we are on the fringe of the urban renewal area." Salmon Cited by Jobs for Vets stories. These stations rely on wire services, or rewritten copy from state newspapers, they said. In commenting upon the station's audience, O'Neil said.

They both view WWPV as a community and not necessarily campus oriented boradcast facility. In addition to offering all types of music, the station will enterprise local news and staff municipal events in its listening area primarily Winooski. Colchester and Essex Junction. Neither Boland nor O'Neil believes Burlington's AM or FM radio stations offer original news Gov.

A loan of $26,000 has been received from the Merchants Bank, Boland said.

This funding will cover $6,000 in construction By Earl L. Douglas ITCHELL FUEL OIL THIS YEAR, THOUGH, the Urban Renewal Agency moved to take over the structure and handed Lavallee and Roy a $245,000 check for the land and the building. Edward Brannagan, executive director of the agency, claims the agency now owns the building. Some Winooski city councilmen, however, have expressed concern over plans to demolish the building with no assurance that the city's downtown area will be redeveloped. Certainly, city officials should give the public an opportunity to express itself on the plans to tear down the old mill building and should carefully consider the consequences to the city if the last structure which might have some industrial potential is destroyed.

THE UPPER ROOM TO SEEK A KINGDOM Jesus expressed his" idea of the chief good in life with these words: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6 These words have come down to us in Greek, of course, and it is interesting to observe that the Greek word translated "seek" really means "to beat the bushes for birds." So the declaration of our Lord really means, put first in your life the kingdom of God and seek after it like a man beating the bushes for game. So now we get the picture.
