Guild Publicity
Misleads Students
- Seldom has a single campus issue brought
. forth as much confusion of facts and words as
the current attempt by the Radio Guild to all
but force the. awarding of a $7500 senior class
gift to the radio station.
While the College's own radio committee, in
cluding Professor Mackey, of the Speech de
partment, and John Price, of the Radio Guild,
has remained silent on the financial needs of
the radio station, the Radio Guild has flooded
the student body ; with propaganda designed at
winning votes for its pet project. The student
body should know that none of this publicity
advocating the radio station has come from the
College's radio committee or the three students,
Milton Bernstein, David Mutchler, or Florenz
Fenton, who have done almost . all of the in
vestigation, cost-wise as well as technical, to
date •for All-College Cabinet.
And yet Price, in-a letter to the Dagy Col
legian, asks why charges of "unethical" prac
tices on the part of the Radio Guild. We ask
him to choose a better word to describe the
publicity, or propaganda, by the Radio Guild
which does not bear the name or in any way
indscate that the Radio Guild is the source
of the information. We also ask Price to choose
a word to describe the action of the guild in
promising the students a radio station by the
fall—if the gift money is obtained—when in
reality the guild has no direct say in deter
mining whether there shall be a station by
that' time.
At a matter of fact, those directly concerned
With the station at this f: me know that the
lack of money is not what is holding up the
radio station: the delay is in the lads of tech
, nical data, which incidentally the Radio Guild
publicity says has been already taken care of.
Actually, this data has not been compiled, and
the College Board of Trustees will not give
approval to any radio station until it has
been provided.
Financially, informed estimates are that the
radio station will require additional funds, but
nobody, not even the hard-working Radio Guild,
has told the students how much that will be.
These informed estimates are that somewhere
between $2OOO 'and $3OOO will be needed. The
class gift is about $7500.
As a matter of fact, the very same people
who now say that is all that is needed to make
the radio station a reality, appeared before All-
College Cabinet about a month • back. At that
time they did not talk about the need for more
money—all they wanted then was cabinet ap
proval of the FM-AM plan. , At that time these
same people said the radio station was ready
to go—all it needed was somebody's approval—
anybody's!
One month ago cabinet held back its approval
because it felt that not nough was known about
FM-AM to justify its"okay. The question in
cabinet's mind at that time was of a technical
natUre, not financial.
We recognize the need for a radio station.
This need does not justify, however, some
of the half-truths the Radio Guild has seen
fit to .peddle as fact in an effort to sell the
radio station idea to the students.

Visit the Carnival
The Spring' Week celebration so far has been
a smashing success. Today the student body has
a chance to really put the spring activities over
the top.
But deeper than the fun that will be had, is
the thought that the whole thing is really worth
while. Each year, after all the expenses have
been paid, the amount left is put to some good
use. Last year, a student loan was set up by
All-College Cabinet with the profits of the
Spring Carnival. It is likely that this year's
proceeds will go toward swelling that fund.
The Spring Week committee h a s worked
hard and long to make the 1852 Spring Week
something everyone V:11 remember. Students
can, show their appreciation for a well-done
job by visiting the Spring Carnival today.

'Wonderful. Symbolism' Displayed
By Fragments of Current Pivot
TO THE EDITOR: Knowing nothing about
poetry. I asked a friend of mine to interpret
some poems for .me from the latest issue of
"Pivot." He raved for a half hour about the
"profound personalities" involved in the writing
of this magazine. After he 'was finished I' pro
'
duced a small poem that I had written:
MYOBIA
As children linger and dash . . .
the waves continue to lap.
and fish-stenches start to migrate
to the appetite. - •
The decay of red lips,
with • the dead leaves playing in
the streets,
lisp their lonely fragile whisper.
While the prisms of the chanderer
clink in irritation with her laughter,
a velvet ribbon prostrates itselk.
... and a pink rose !n a quiet puddle
of freshly-sown soil,
contented, slipped away.
When the poem was' completely read, he
talked about "the wonderful symbolism I em
ployed in projecting my ideas." When I asked
"what ideas," he couldn't give any clear an
swer. It was then that I informed him that the
poem was composed of fragments of, and sen
tences of, "poems" from "Pivot."
He learned something.

"BETWEEN THE "MOVIES"
—Hans Fable
Someday the orderly habits taught by the monthly fire drills
in dorms may save a lot of lives, but right now we could swear they
were a vicious plot to disturb that one night of heavy studying or to
interrupt a rare occasion when we'd planned a long, undisturbed
sleep.
a warning from one of the girls
who had a little chat with a host
ess is heard blasting the unpleas
ant news through the halls.
"Fire drill tonight," the tormen
tor shouts. Three girls washing
their hair in the showers wilt
down the drain, several others
bent over the books moan, "Oh
no!", and still others hound the
harbinger of the unpleasant news
to see if they can't make her
change her mind.
But with the sudden, endless
blast of the fire alarm, everyone
knows all' is lost.
Before we leave the room we
go through the prescribed rou
tine: close the windows, pull up
the blind, put on center light,
shut off other lights, leave door
'ajar.
Fire drill nights are always cold
and usually wet. Half-awake co
eds grab a scarf to tie around
the miscellaneous bobby , pins,
curlers, or socks used to put up
their hair, newly-washed heads
are wrapped in a towel, and a
housecoat, robe, or coat partially
cover a pair of pajamas.
Faces are all colors: white with
cold cream, or dotted with multi
colored preparations which tell
each girl's beauty secrets.

suddenly realize what we look

like and hope no men walk by
the dorm.
Nobody wants to wander far
from the security of the dorm and
about a hundred women huddle
within a few feet of the door
steps. Half the women never make
it out the door because of the
jam.
Three elevators aren't sufficient
to carry all occupants of the upper
floors, so we all resign ourselves
to the long drag back.
But one night we decided to
beat the rap. We heard the
usual warning that tonight was
fire drill night. But we were
going to play it smart. We'd be
in bed by 10:30 and when the
alarm rang at 11, we'd be sound
asleep.
11 p.m. The bell blares. Girls
lining up at thp stairway outside
our door make loud bustling
noises. Everybody complains
about being. interrupted in sun
dry activities. But we smugly
smile to ourselves, safe in bed.
An then suddenly, like a demon
descending on its prey, a "for
mer" friend bursts in the door
way, switches on the light, throws
up the shade, and yells, "Hey!
wake up! Fire drill tonight! You
almost missed it!"
Almost.
