Page Three Report of a Visit Commission on Institut�ons of Higher Education November 21-22, 1974 conferences, seminars, young people's meetings and retreats. It is partly ta ma.ke the Co�lege appealing to such conferences - they wilx be held when students are on vacation ^ that the dormitories have been so attractively desi�ned, and it is parCly to assure trem the best of cater�ng tnat the College dozs no� contract w�tn ontsiders for faod servzce but provides foad service itself, of wh�Ch it is justly proud. The Corporation has no intention, of course, of underwriting these conferenceS and retreats. It intends to contract for them at fignres which will cover costs and provide some additional income to the college budge�. It also intends to exercise discretion, hosting groups sympa- theCic to the Col�ege and supportive of it. In short, it sees the Special Events prQgram as a source of income, an aid to fund raisings and developme��, and a branch of i�s recruitment activities. The Corporation also operates nine radio stations in five ci�ies which return an annua� surplus to the Corporation which has ranged from $150,000 ta $200,000 the past three years. Thase stations play a signifi- cant role in the recruitment of students and even of faculty and, as an arm of the development progtam, deserve a share of the credit for NarCh- western's list of 60,Q00 separate canstituents - a sizable number for an institution which has only recentlq re-opened after being shut down for s�x years. As a result of these supplemental activities, development and recruitment at Northwestern fo�low procedures quite different from those in the usual college, and show out differently in the budget. Applications, �or e�samp�e, are increasing in spite of the fac� that the Director of Admisszons has no staff to help him and carries other duties as wel�, and the radio stations whi�h are helping with the recruiting are paying the College a surplus instead of costing it monep. {when �17.e pn2Vtia(u5 No�h Ce,�rz..� �eam v,i�s.i�ed �he Ca.P�ege -i.n.
