Most people listen in on a radio pro- gram, enjoy it, and . go no further. One out of two hundred or at the high- est estimate, out of fifty, actually takes the trouble to write to the sta- tion to thank them for their effort. Yet Station WCBC can claim the uni- que record of having received more than one thousand written communica- tions from the nine or ten programs they transmitted during their exist- ence. Using the most conservative es- timate on the radio listeners to writers,. this means that more than 50,000 peo- ple have listened to the radio station of the Universityd of Michigan. Hundreds who had hardly - head of. the University have listenedtd the details of her thrilling basketball games, broadcasted by The Daily, have heard some of her eminent professors speak, and have felt appreciation, whether expressed or unexpressed, to the great University for providing them with this amusement and in- struction. They have learned about the various activities of the campus through the Michigan Daily Radio Edition which brought scores of com- pliments from people in every section of the nation. It is not a common sight to see the University of Michigan lagging in the rear. Yet this is exactly what she is doing in the radio field despite the efforts of members of the electrical engineering department. They have fought bravely to place Michigan where she belongs despite the handi- cap of limited funds. At a convention of the National As- sociation of UniVersity Extensloe 'i~- rectors to be held this month at Mad- ison, Wisconsin, t he use of radio for educational broadcasting will be one of thebiggest subje'is to be diuss- ed, according to present plans. Where is Michigan to stand? NURT'HWES-TEN'SJU3PUS T ampusof Northwester uni- versity is -clained to be in a blaze, Pacificism threatened to "split the University wide open' several days ago, when all the ox-service men df the Garret Biblical Intitute on the Northwestern campus attempted to decide what should be done concern- I ing the fifty theologues who signed pledges not to fight for their coun- try for any reason whatsoever. Students conferred with President Walker Dill Scott and the deans. Re- porters became busy, and an organiz- ation consisting of 75 prominent Ovanstonians was formed to combat the spread of sedition and non-resist- ance, and to force every student in I the University to take an oath of al- legiance. It seems that Northwestern is not awake to the proverb that the harder the fire is fanned the brighter will burn the blaze. Fifty youths, when there is even no need for their help at this time, signed a perhaps mean- ingless pledge with the result that the entire campus is astir. Now the groups will probably re- sist any attacks against what they. claim as their views with the conse- quence of an indefinite continuance of the blaze. Where the Northwestern administration erred was in the at- tempted use of force. What those in charge should have done was to call in consultation the leaders of ths group and have had a general good heart to heart talk. That is all that would have been necessary. As it is the whole situation was taken with all together too much seriousness and Imade too much of.l It is quite safe to assert that should a test arise for these individuals,their jwell layed plans for pacificisra would immediately fly away with the pass- ing win(]. This affair is merely an- other outburst common to institutions of higher learning.
