The Daily cranks it out
By JO MURPHY
On the second floor of the Stu-
dent Publications Building is a
huge, cavernous room which re-
sembles the belly of a whale
more than what is actually is-
the city room of the Michiganj
Daily.
It is generally a mess with
newspapers, wire machine pa-
per, copy paper, magazines, dic-
tionaries, Roget's Thesauri, and
innumerable six ounce coke bot-
ties strewn about as if a tornado
had just passed through on its
way to Kansas.

Michigan Daily emerges fromI

WE are two popular and successful campus
and community radio stations. Both are highly
rated by record and radio pros, and the Ann
Arbor community at large.
WE can tap many of your diversified talents
and abilities. More than disc - jockeys are
needed. We also need writers, artists, and
I elecctronic engineers, In addition adminis-
trators, salespeople, production voices and
engineers are necessary for the smooth opera-
tion of the Campus Broadcasting Network.
OUR record (pardon the pun) speaks for
itself. Several alumni from CBN are now work-
ing of major stations in D e t r oi t and for
stations elsewhere.
But you need not be interested in radio as a
business to have fun, frustration, and stimu-
lotion at CBN.
