As there have been no past shows of this type from which to draw upon for exper the matters ience and direction, many of coming to the attention of the management are perplexing ones to solve, especially per taining to correct balance of acts. H o w ever, not daunted by their obstacles, Schaf fer and his staff are hard at work. sity of talent is actually being found within feared the student body. Many people that a vaudeville would be impossible here because such a show would require such talent. But the several a wide range of organizations already in existence which can be counted upon, such as the Pastime Players, the college quartette, the musicians from the music department and the actors of the dramatics societies, it has not been to work up the type of program difficult desired, using the above mentioned or ganizations as a nucleus for the show. To create the right flavor to the entire per formance, several comic acts have been in troduced. is One of the principal faculty objections to Union operas, is that of the time spent by students who take part in these enter- ainments. This objection largely dis counted by the present system. No stu dent is in more than one act, and no act is of more than 15 minutes duration, with the possible exception of the one-act play being put on by Theta Alpha Phi, the local chapter of the dramatics fraternity. W i th these short periods of entertainment for which to prepare, the time spent on work ing up such an act or stunt is brought down to a minimum; little time on the part of the students participat ing. As but one joint rehearsal of the en tire show will be necessary, this phase of the work is also minimized. requiring but thus Alumni who will be in Lansing on the week-end of February 5, 6, and 7, should this not overlook the opportunity to view in college entertainment.

The Journal says: in The Atlanta Journal to "Mr. Smith is one of the south's most widely known publishers, being the head of more than a dozen trade journals for the south.

Record VIEWS AND COMMENT to . subscription In the mails in December came a letter from Manila which contained a check for seventv-five dollars or enough to raise the donor's the U n io n Memorial building fund to the proportions necessary to insure him the privileges of life membership. This was a response to a general letter and was not the fruit of a special appeal. This instance and others of a similar nature leaves but little ground for the argument that any alumnus or former student should not be a subscriber because he or she happens to be now at a distance from the College which will preclude any general use of the building. m to graduate It is" a well-merited and highly satisfying honor which has come to M. A. C. with the a appointment of another Rhodes scholarship. For years the College has been known for its graduates whose work in technical lines has resulted in great benefit to the advancement of science. Some few have been marked for achievements in other walks but the impression that a gen eral education the products of is one of M. A. C. has not been impressed upon the mind of the average person with sufficient instances as this are proof force. positive leader the ship available at the College are of the type which measures well when placed beside that of other institutions. instruction and Such that the result of deep It is idle talk to say that such appoint ments are made on proved merit alone, that investigation they are into the qualities of large numbers of stu dents and graduates. Such steps are im possible. But they come after the members of the appointing committee have been ap prised of the character and ability of appli cants and in this matter M. A. C. is fortu nate in having on its faculty a man who has done much to further the chances of both appointees from M. A. C. He has been able through close contact and ob the servation to speak with authority on qualifications and ability of M. A. C. men and he has not hesitated to lend his support to deserving candidates. This is but one instance of many which come to light occa sionally where Dean F. S. Kedzie, '77, has unostentatiously added to the prestige of his alma mater and aided the individual to a better place in the world. A new year brings new responsibilities and added to these are those which have remained undischarged during the previous year. The M. A. C. Association is closer to its goal of providing a Union Memorial building than it was a year ago. It is much closer but the part which remains undone is the most difficult to complete. The year of 1925 will witness the consummation of this task if the alumni of M. A. C. turn a concerted effort toward that end and only in that event. in the is The Chicago M. A. C.

Many students are entering this division because of the liberal and broad training which it affords.

T he art section of this department is under the direction of Arnold G. Scheele, who has built up a strong series of courses includ ing the best courses in display advertising. These courses are open to all students as electives and to students in the Science and Arts divisions as a major or minor.

NEW RADIO STATION READY TO BROADCAST In its first regular broadcasting the new College radio station sent out Governor Groesbeck's message to the legislature on January 8, on a 270 meter wave length. This was done with the permission of the inspector for the radio district before the station had been formally inspected and given the new rating which had been re quested which would place it in a differ ent class than the one under which it was operated during 1924. During the holiday season tests were made from the new sta tion every day from three to four o'clock In response to these tests in the morning. a widely scattered number of replies were received indicating that the message had been received over a greater radius than the old station ever reached. It is planned that regular programs will start January 12 and that WKAR will be operated three evenings each week. On Monday nights from seven to eight an agricultural program will be presented by the various departments in the agricultural division, on Wednesday nights from eight to nine entertainment will be furnished by student organizations and on Friday nights from seven to eight programs will be given by representatives of the various depart ments at the state capitol. The policy pursued last year of broad casting basketball games played at the gymnasium will be followed out and other special events will likewise be broadcast. It has been proved to the satisfaction of the authorities in charge of the station that a much larger number of people will be enabled to hear the programs sent out by the new station than could be reached by the old equipment. It is expected that in the near future more detailed information on programs will be available. of In the quarterly bulletin of the agricul tural experiment for November station there is an article by V.
