Looks like Mary Ellin McCrady'si
long dreamed-of raft trip down
the Mississippi is going to be a re-1
ality this summer.
In response to a story in Satur-
day's Daily, Miss McCrady, '51,
has got one definite- promise
from a Men's Glee Club member, a
tentative promise from another
University male, a host of helpful
pointers from a student who has
made similar trips and calls frotn
other interested adventure seek-
ers.
The Men's Glee Club member,
Don Brown, Grad., will take the
trip primarily because of his in-
terest in social psychology. Brown,
who is interested in small groups,
added he's also out for adventure.
The helpful pointers were re-
ceived from Tony Baker, '54, a
West Quadder who has made a
hobby of taking trips on the barest
of essentials. He gave Miss Mc-
Crady tips on construction of the
raft, how to estimate expenses and
possible contacts the group can
make on its journey.
One call, from Gayle Greene
'54A, a Daily tryout, didn't pan
out. Miss Greene who doesn't
swim, was afraid of the rivers'
depths.
Miss McCrady still has openings
for two or three more. Anyone
interested can contact her at
2-4819.
HOMEMADE SUBWAY:
DirtFlies as Sandhog Has His Day
A common mole may be in the
dark most of the time, but Hank
Melton, '52NR, thinks the little
punk is pretty wide awake- when
it comes to ruining his backyard.
"From the tunnel network in
my yard I can just about tell
where this -sandhog's been and
where he's going. He uses his
keen sense of smell as a compass
Dorm Survey
To Distribute
Questionnaires
Questionnaires on food, service,'
facilities and staff in residence
halls will be distributed next week
among all students living in dor-
mitories.
The survey was approved by the
Board of Governors of Residence
Halls last week and since then the
questionnaire has been drawn up
and is being printed.
The committee plans to band
out the questionnaires to the dorm
representatives at a meeting next
week and the students will receive
them at that time.
Dave Guttentag, '53E, head of
the survey committee, hopes to
have all the completed question-
naires ready for computation by
the end of the 15th week. The re-
sults will be computed as quickly
as possible, he said,' so action can
be taken.
to track down tasty earthworms-
and from the looks of it he doesn't
waste much time about it."
BUT MELTON realizes that in
wrecking his ground the mole is
really doing him a favor.
"I try to look on the bright
side of this thing and try to
understand that he's really
aerating the soil by turning it
over as he digs. But I do wish
he'd do somebody else this fa-
vor-I just don't appreciate it."
Although Melton knows the
weak eyes of the mole are a de-
cided handicap in keeping him
posted on what's happening above
ground, he feels the mole should
stop making such an upheaval
about it.

"YOU CAN TELL just by look-
ing at his shovel-shaped paws and
long, broad muzzle that he was
built for subterranean scouting.
And his pinpoint eyes are prac-
tically covered with fur for pro-
tectioh from the loose dirt. But
just because he's half-blind is no
reason he should be excused for
wrecking other people's property."
Moles seldom come to the sur-
face except at noon for a quick
look, and then they quickly dis4
appear into their tiny hide-
aways.
"Nobody seems to know why
they pick the noon hour to do
this-maybe because it's usuall'y
so bright, they can see a little bet-
ter. They can barely distinguish
dark from light, you know," Mel-
ton said.
But the one thing Melton doelt
admire about his arch-building
enemy is his underground haven,
which he thinks is a masterpiece
of architectural design.
}
"He digs many passageways
leading away from his nest so he
can take out after his prey. Tha#s
pretty clever, really, but his clev-
erness is getting on my nerves. yA
few more tunnels like these and
somebody's really going to get
hurt." -

Speech Students To Give
Mock RadioBroadcast
0 1
Students in radio speech courses
will begin two days of simulated
broadcasting today and tomorrow
when they undertake Operation
4006, the speech department's
spring climax to the semester's

the department's Studio A on the
fourth floor of Angell Hall, the
exercise is designed to acquaint
radio students with the problems
of continuous broadcasting o all

types of programs, as in actual
radio station operation.
WITH NO ATTEMPT made to
satirize real broadcasts, the Oper-
ation has reduced a regular net-
work affiliated station's 12 hour
daily schedule to four hours by
making programs one-third their
usual length.
Actual broadcast time will be
from 3:30 to 5:30 and 7:30 to
9:30 p.m. in order to interfere
with a minimum of students'
classes.
Although the shows will not go
out over the air, they will be ac-
curately timed and studio en-
gineers have instructions to cut
off programs which run over their
a'lloted time.
ADJUSTING THE program fare
offered to the simulated broad-
cast time, the first show at 3:30
p.m. will be the variety usually
heard at 10 a.m. This policy will
be followed throughout the two
days broadcasting, -- m o r n i n g
"wake-up" shows, afternoon soap
dramas, evening comedy and quiz
programs will follow in their usual
order.
Students in radio writing
courses have written all the
scripts for the two-day workout
and students in advance courses
will direct the programs and
handle sound effects. Begin-
ping radio students will handle
station breaks and announcing
jobs.
Since the department's two
studios would be insufficient to
house all the programs and re-
hearsals, studio control rooms,
class rooms and offices on the
fourth floor have been pressed
into service as temporary broad-
casting locations and have been
equipped with microphones.
Room 4203 will be open both
days for anyone interested in lis-
tening to the programs.
Phoenix Pledges
Students who wish to pay all or
part of their pledge to the Phoenix
Project may do so between 8 a.m.
and 5 p.m. today at 4545 Adminis-
tration Building, according to
Marvin Lubeck, '51, chairman.
