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.

Their decision will be final. THE WINNER will be an- nounced during the first week of the spring semester. He will re- ceive a delux, table model "radio. Bill Osterman, 'Ensian assis- tant promotions manager, said that he was very well satisfied with the reception the contest is receiving from the students. The pictures are coning very nicely and we believe there is enough material for the proposed candid photo section in the 1949 'Ensian, Osterman went on to say. * * * ENTRIES MVAY be turned in to the 'Ensian office in the Stu- dent Publications Building. A negative is not required, the print will suf fice. All entries become the property of the Michiganensian.

By DON McNEIL 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. * * * MUSHROOMS FRUIT errati- 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."

By DON KOTITE" Don't spill your inmost secretsc over that friendly cup of coffee -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 running around, in circles," she sighed. 'U'-goers, and several spots have capitalized on them.
