Reluctant To Talk
Understandably though, such
firms are very reluctant to talk
about their work.
Newspapermen, congressmen,
yes, and congressional witnesses
have complained periodically that
their phones were tapped.
Now, for an important distinc-
tion between wiretapping and
eavesdropping.
Many legal authorities think
wiretapping is not illegal so long
as the dirt collected is not di-
vulged. Another school holds thatj
this is nonsense, that by its very
nature it is going to be divulged ,
to somebody.
But everyone seems agreed that
eavesdropping, or bugging, whileI
messy, is not illegal.
So for the benefit of those not
aware of the latest in bugging,
let's visit a man who is alert to
this strange profession, but who
must remain anonymous.
"Bugging" Hard
He says bugg-ing is more corn-
plaicted than it looks, that its suc-
cess depends on understanding
the acoustics in the room. Fur-
thermore, amicrophone can be
too sensitive. "It'll pick up every-
thing except what you want to
hear," he said.
A good method, he said, is to
bore a hole in the wall until the
wallpaper is reached, and place
the microphone over the hole.
Better still, get inside the room
in advance and bug the place
thoroughly.
"Some like the microphone
drawn down around the base-t
board," he said. "Some hide them
in lamp bases. Around the phone
is ,good, anywhere where conver-
sations are held.
"Around the bed is okay, too.
Wonderful for divorce cases."

Twenty-six journalism students;
from the University are engaged,
in a program which combinesa
study with on-the-job experience,
In a fellowship program involv-
ing 11 Michigan newspapers, foura
out of state newspapers and one
advertising agency, the students
are assigned on a rotating basis so
that they work in various depart-

i The program is undertaken on
three levels-two or three years
post-Master's degree, one year
post-Bachelor of Arts degree and
two 'or three months summer fel-
lowships.
"The uniqueness of the program
lies in its year-long methodical co-
operative supervision by manage-
ment and the University," Prof.
Wesley H. Maurer, chairman of
the Journalism department and
supervisor of the fellowship pro-
gram said.
Concerning the monthlyr eports
which the journalists, are required
to make to the University, Prof.
Maurer explained, "They bring to-
gether a variety of training meth-
od's and provide the Journalism
department with a test of the ef-
fectiveness of its teaching meth-
ods,"
"This bekomes a source for plan-
ning in modification or strength-
ening of current curricula offer-
ings," he said.
"The post-bachelor of arts pro-
gram was strengthened this year
by increasing it from seven to
12 months, Prof. Maurer contin-
ued, "This came as a result of
experiences of both publishers and
faculty members," he added.
