"Hi again everybody, Ernie'

Harwell as he begins his broad-
cast of another Detroit Tiger
'Ibaseball game.
Their voices are familiar and
nearly everyone has heard
them, sports fan or not. Yet
radio keeps them unrecogniz-
able to most.
Ernie Harwell is almost an
institution in broadcasting, and
Paul Carey is a young veteran
of four summers. The two com-
bine for an enjoyable evening'
of listening and, recent dismal
years for the Tigers have not
kept the duo from their on-the-
air high spirits.

MW' stadium changes vendors
By HENRY ENGELHARDT
Those of you who expect to
see last year's leftover hot
dogs in this year's mustard at
Michigan Stadium tomorrow
are in for a bit of a surprise.
After nine years of running
the< concession stands for all
athletic activities Ogden Foods
of Boston have been replaced
by Gladieux Foods out of To-
ledo.
Gladieux, on a standard ten
year contract, is putting in3
$60,000 worth of equipment "just'
for starters," said W. F. Smith
Gladieux vice-president.
Another change this season
will be. the addition of strolling
vendors in the narrow stadium
aisles. According to Gladieux
General Manager Dick Beeh-
ner,.there will be "a couple of

those Ogden fell into the last,
year or two of their nine year
stay at Michigan, which event-
ually led to their replacement.'
Charles Harris, assistant ath-
letic director and the man who
engineered the switch, cited a
basic erosion of service by Og-
den, to both the consumer and'
the Athletic department for the
turnover.
One highly significant prob-
lem Harris saw in Ogden's serv-
ice was "they were having dif-
fic-lt etting people to buy

service to the fan."
ANOTHER PROBLEM
the Athletic Department had
with Ogden was in getting au-I
dited figures of sales. Figures
from the last games in Crisler,
the state high school basketball
tourney in March, still have
not come in, Harris pointed out.
"We were rather dissatisfied
with the overall service Ogden
foods had given us," Harris
evaluated.
Another reason for the switch
is that Ogden foods seem to be,
pulling out of stadium type
vending. As Harris noted, "they.
never expressed to us that they
wanted to continue here."
Gladieux was chosen over
companies from Philadelphia
and Chicago. A major reason
was the nearness of Toledo.
Harris said they had learned
ing around in here."
The radio booth is surpris-
ingly small, just large enough
for two. The view is one of
the best in the stadium, but
that alone isn't the only no-
ticeable characteristic of the
booth.
It is filled with the infor-
mation an announcer requires
to keep the broadcast going.
An age-old wire machine
spews out scores and high-
lights of other games, when
the tempermental machine is
working.
While setting up for a game
in which Mark Fidrych was go-
ing to pitch, Carey added, "pro-
ducing the broadcast means my
job starts about two hours be-
fore game time." I have to alert
stations of breaks, commercials,
and of course, I work the
sound." As he said this, he
lowered a microphone out of the
booth to pick up crowd noises
during the game.
Paul Car _v is honest in his
replies. Despite being busy he
was anxious to answer ques-
