The Georgia State College for Women first aired its radio show in April 1947. Although students could not listen along on their personal radios, they could visit room Arts 19 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. The Introduction to Radio class ran the radio show each morning. The miniature radio station consisted of a studio and a control room in which the students were able to gain practical experience on the radio.

In this week of 1967 the Wesley Foundation hosted a “local slave market” where students could buy other students to be their “slaves” for the day. The night following the auction, Wesley sponsored “a street dance to climax their first annual ‘Slave Day,’ ” during which guests who had not participated in the auction could pay a small 50 cents fee to enter. The “emancipation of the slaves” was at 9 p.m. The Wesley Foundation today still hosts social gatherings weekly, such as Thursday Game Nights.
