By JUNE McKEE
In arranginr a broadcasting period
for President Ruthven's talk in May
at the national meeting for the Uni-
versity Extension Service, Prof. Waldo
Abbot contacted both NBC and Col-
umbia networks for time, expecting
one of the two to comply. Both broad-
casting systems wired their willing-
ness to carry the talk.
The most capital case recently re-
ported was that of one slide trom-
boner who accosted Jerry Wiesner,
Chief Radio Technician, to see if some
difficult passages, slowly played on
the instrument, could be speeded up
in recording to sound pretty good
when played back.
"Join the Choir" begins today's
broadcasting with Kenneth Wester-
mann leading the quartet and Duane
Nelson, Grad., and Mary Jordan, '40,
reading poetry with religious conno-
tations. John Gelder, '40, narrates;
Robert Olman, Grad., supplies piano
and organ background settings, and
Ward Quall, '40, announces. WJR
carries the program at 9 a.m.
Then the University Band, directed
by Prof. William Revelli, may be heard
through WJR at 12:30 p.m. Such
original selections as "Lake Michigan
Suite," by Chervin, and "Hail Michi-
gan," by Pendill-pieces still in man-
uscript, written to be played by the
U of M Band-will be included in the
program. Donn Chown, Grad., is an-
nouncer.
Tomorrow, "The Black Phantom,"
a farce adapted for radio by Ruth
Landwehr, will be presented by
Jerome Wiesner's class at 2:45 p.m.
over WMBC and WCAR. James Phil-
lips, Grad., is director and Rose 01-
lesheimer, '41, narrator announcer.
Laya Wainger, '41; Robert Cohn, '41;
Catherine Dolch, Grad.; Edith Lynch,
'41, and Charles Zwick, '40, are in
the cast.
The seventeenth "Campus Research
Tour" then emanates from the Uni-
versity Museums, with Prof. Waldo
Abbot as interviewer. Peter An-
tonelli, '41, will announce.
