NEW PARTY LINE:
Wired Radio Network To
Make Stockwell Debut
By JIM BROWN
Culminating several months of
frustrating attempts . to secure
the necessary broadcasting equip-
ment and transmitting head-
-iarters, wired radio has finally
come to the campus.
With the initial broadcast from
the West Quad to Stockwell Hall
scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday night
ie plan, which has been little
,nore than a dream in the minds
Deadline Set
For Return of
Loan Prints
Students who rented art prints
this semester should return tbem
to Rm. 142 in the basemen of the
Administration Building by Jan.
18.
Mrs. Eloise Wilkinson, who is
in charge of the Student Loan
Prints, reminded students yester-
day that a fee of five cents will be
charged for each day pictures are
over-due.
THlE PRINTS, which were
complete "sell-outs" this semes-
ter, will again be exhibited the
week of Jan. 30 in the West Gal-
lery of the Museum of Art.
They will be reassigned dur-
ing the week of Feb. 7 and will
be distributed the following
week from Rm. 142, Adminis-
tration Building.
Fifty-six new framed prints-
were purchased with student ren-
tal fees and added to the collec-
tion during the past semester.
INCLUDING works of. Cezanne,
Renoir, Corot, Vermeeri and
Burchfield, they bring the collec-
tion's total to 670.
Df a group of radio-minded men
n the West Quad, will become
reality.
WIRED RADIO was first in-
roduced on the campus last year
vhen Brad Stone, '51, Ward Cor-
'-elius, '51, and Fred Remley, '51,
*;ioneered the first successful sta-
tion in the West Quad.
At the same time Dean Bar-
nard, '50, was organizing an as-
sociation which hoped to bring
wired radio to the entire cam-
pus.
A lack of fundsand equipment
temporarily halted work on the
project, but this year, with the
assistance of the University
Broadcasting Service, the first
experimental line has been set up.
ONE TRANSMITTER, owned
by Sheldon Gates, '51E, is located
in 411 Chicago House and the
other, furnished by Jerry Swan-
tek, chief studio engineer of the
Broadcasting Service, is operat-
ed by remote control in Stock-
well.
The wire running between
the two dorms was installed by
under the direction of Waldo
the Broadcasting Service which,
Abbott, is working with the
group.
Programs transmitted over the
wire are fed into the power lines
~f the individual houses and can
be picked up only on radios locat-
ed in those houses. They originate
from the West Quad Radio Net-
work, comprised of stations in
Michigan, Allen-Rumsey and Chi-
cago Houses.
Permanent headquarters for
the Wired Radio Association have
been provided in the fifth floor of
the new Administration Building.

Rainy weather doesn't seem to
be an ideal condition for a scien-
tist's best field work, but Prof.
Alexander H. Smith thrives on it.
Prof. Smith, potanist in the
University Herbarium, has been
collecting mushrooms in the west-
ern United States for 15 years,
during which time he has irri-
tated many a tourist by continu-
ally wishing for rain.

cally but mostly during wet
weather, Prof. Smith reports,
ROTC Hikes Pay
Campus ROTC students in ad-
vanced classes have a lot to be
happy about as the result of a re-
cent pay hike.
An eleven-cent salary increase
has gone into effect, which means
junior and senior ROTC men re-
ceive 90 cents instead of the pre-
vious 79-cent daily wage. Pay-
-ments are retroactive to last Sept.
"and you never know ahead of
time how many you will find."
Mushroom hunting is more
than a hobby to Prof. Smith,
who has the task of collecting
and classifying the fleshy fungi
of the western part of the coun-
try.
He estimates that his manual
of mushroom flora will contain
around 2,000 species when com-
pleted.
* * *
THE COLLECTING for the
project was begun by Prof. C. H.
Kauffman, back in 1915, and has
been continued by Prof. Smith
since 1935. He has been going
back to his mushroom grounds
fairly regularly since, except dur-
ing the war.
"On expeditions I take along
as little equipment as possi-
ble," he says, describing his
field trips.
"For studies in the field, usu-
ally a tourist cabin, a microscope,
drying equipment, and dark room
facilities for photography are the
main requirements."

-a Daily survey shows that wait-
resses as well as walls have ears.
The object of the survey, con-
ducted through interviews with
local countermen and waitresses,
was to discover the favorite con-
versational topics of hamburger-
munching students.
* *k k
NEARLY ALL those interviewed
agreed on one point-they main-
tained that coeds spend most of
their lunch hour picking the males
apart.
"With women it's men first
and foremost, then clothes. Fel-
lows seem to discuss more se-
rious subjects," declared one
soda clerk.
Topics discussed range from the
opposite sex to homework and
"blue book blues," servers pointed
out.
ONE SYMPATHETIC waitress
noted that groups sometimes be-
come so engrossed in conversation
she "hates to disturb them to take
their order."
Anoter observed definite
studelnt trend to lwsychology and
psychiatry. She toldis of a
certain male who enitejs her
place only to discuss the psy-
chology of marriage with her.
"A;yIhc tiruc hc leaves, I'tni

sighed.
'U'-goers, and several spots have
capitalized on them.
