Playing the Old Shen--Game "We can't afford it." That is the brick wall WSND has run into for the past eight months and for as long as it cares to remember whenever it has approached the Administration for money to maintain and expand what is unquestionably one of the finest undergraduate broad­ casting stations in the country. The ND station gets no money from the University whatsoever. WSND-AM is completely dependent upon advertising to stay in business. WSND-FM is wholly dependent on WSND-AM for what­ ever charity cash the AM station can spare. And on a $10,000 yearly operating budget for both stations that -isn't much. · It has proven impossible in the past_ to get any kind of budget statement as to just how the University does allocate its funds to student organizations. Thus all that can be done is to look around to see who does get money and who should get money. One organization that- gets plenty, $35,000 a year in fact, is the Dome. The Dome is one of the finest undergraduate yearbooks in the country. It has been ranked in quality with the likes of Harvard and the University of Michigan. As Dave Heskin, editor of next year's Dorne has said, the yearbook provides an in­ dependent overview of the year past by an independent student source as well as a keepsake for the student body. Unofficially, the Dome is good public relations for the University. But for $35,000? The Dome is nice but when it is compared proportionally to other student organiza­ tions, WSND-FM alone for instance, is it really worth the money? But WSND-FM is good- PR too, especially in South Bend. "We have the programming now to be a cultural extension to the (South Bend-Notre Dame) community, but not the power," according to '67-'68 Station Manager Dick Riley. Five years ago WSND-FM began with a power basis of ten watts. Five years later they are still broad­ casting with that_ same ten watts. It doesn't take an electrical engineer to realize how really little that amounts · to. What is needed according to Riley and FM Program Director Denny Reeder is a 3000 watt transmitter with

4 The Scholastic antenna to "saturate" this whole area west to Chicago and east to Ohio. At present "the only station comparable in this whole wide area" says Riley, "is WMFT - and they are very hard to get." WSND-FM alone makes every other station in the vicinity look ham. The station broadcasts classical music thirteen hours a day, from noon to 1:00 a.m. ("We'd like to go morning but can't afford it," says Riley): This con­ trasts with five hours of classical (all automated) from WNDU and two hours from Elkhart's WTRC. "The fine arts market around here is ours for all intents and pur­ poses." In addition to this FM broadcasts prerecorded on­ campus lectures, and a smattering of jazz, folk, news, and sports; then there are special programs: drama, poetry readings (T. S. Eliot is a recent example), and opera (WSND was one of two stations in the country to carry the opening of the Met live from New York). "Facilities" in the O'Shaughnessy Hall tower are bad beyond belief. The "tower" part is to be taken literally. They might as well be broadcasting from the Walsh Hall fire escape. The "news room" is a closet containing one teletype with copy hanging from coat hooks and the sta­ tion manager's quarters in the loft are only accessible by means of a vertical ladder (not recommended climbing for those susceptible to vertigo or anyone over forty). Right now WSND - AM and FM - is doing all this on their shoestring budget of $10,000, all of which is garnered from advertising. The broadcasters want to keep paying for AM through advertising alone ("It saves us from people coming up and telling us what to do") but FM which is free from advertising as well as editorials and is purely for education and entertainment is des­ Who's Number One? perately in need of funds. Says Denny Reeder, "It's be­ ginning to break our backs." This week, in the midst of the much-publicized changes "We could do it right (including the new transmitter in the corporate structure of the University, there oc­ and antenna) for $75,000," say Riley and Reeder, "and curred an event that is perhaps far more significan~ that is a calculated estimate of the real costs."

The Administration should be the one the table was given routinely. to come through with funds. One might also make much of the fact that the "We've gotten sympathy from them, but no money," pacifists received none of the customary taunts from says Station Manager Riley.

Undoubtedly, part of the forbidding the soliciting of subscribers and now the radio motivation for the decision came from the fact that the station is writing to foundations in search of aid. But material distributed was of a strictly orthodox, Catholic for years according to Riley, "it's been the old shell game" character. But this is alright; certainly no one advocates with the Administration. "You try one place and they that the Administration countenance the distribution of tell you to go somewhere else. Then you go there and openly subversive material. We hope that this liberal you're rerouted again, and again, ad nauseam."

that the real radicals turned out by Catholic schools (draft card burners,-Catholic Workers, etc.) come from the tiny, isolated schools, where they are alone in a conservative, conventional milieu; large, "emancipated" universities tend to produce more complacent liberals. Riesman read some remarks about the "pastoral gap" at Notre Dame made by students at the time of Ralph Martin's letter last spring, and immediately detected the seeds of Pente­ costalism in a prevailing discontent with the rigid in­ stitutionalism of the Church. Two chapters on "General Perspectives" open the book proper. Hassenger's introductory "College and Catholics" is a very general sketch of the present state of affairs in our schools. Undoubtedly, the general view given here is invaluable for the reader unfamiliar with Catholic edu­ cation; but any Notre Dame student could benefit only from the chapter's concluding remarks on the social scientist's tools and methods for this type or study. Chapter II is Gleason's "American Catholic Higher Education: A Historical Perspective.'' No one can afford to pass this selection by. Dr. Gleason presents a thorough picture of the American Church in its institutional de­ velopment, its ideological estrangement from the main­ stream of the country, and its gradual escape from social and ethnic isolation. After a few remarks on the growing numbers of Cath­ olics in college, Gleason shows us the problems of matura­ tion for the immigrant Church, the great problem of Catholicism since the first Irish immigrations in the last century. A great deal of attention is given to Orestes by Tol"n Henehan A. Brownson, famous benefactor of Notre Dame, who made some brilliant criticisms of the 19th-century Church. Enjoying the unique position of an Anglo-Saxon New ''WE Do NOT claim a definitive book ...

Combining those two should be quite a challenge. I'm looking forward to playing for Coach Stram at Kansas City. I un­ derstand he coached here once under Terry Brennan, so I should be right at home. "When I look back on these last three years, the biggest moment was my election as captain of the team. There are leaders and there are lead­ ers. The meaning depends on the men that elect you. If I were captain of a team of football bums, it wouldn't mean much. The difference lies in the people you represent. I told you be­ fore about the type of man we have playing for us, and I meant every word of it. You may be able to find a case or two to the contrary, but overall they are a great bunch of guys. It was a great source of pride to me that they picked me to represent them. "Receiving the Athlete of the Year trophy affected me in the same way that my selection as captain did. It really means more than the Maxwell Trophy [awarded annually to the year's outstanding college football player] because it comes from some people whose opinion I truly respect - the Notre Dame student body. They're a great bunch of guys and they make Notre Dame what it is. I value their opinion more than any other. The fact that they have voted me this trophy means more to me than I can say. It's great to receive awards from sportswriters, but it's different when you know that you have won the respect of the guys you've lived with for four years. "One last point I'd like to make. Some people think that football is overemphasized and overdone here. They seem to think that it can't fit in with the pursuit of excellence at Notre Dame. I don't agree. Football contributes to the life of both the players and students. At pep rallies the students actually become a part of the team. Even though we might look passive and uninterested, it gives us a tremendous boost to know that the rest of Notre Dame is behind us. When we come off the field and they give us a standing ovation, believe me, we're aware of it, and we ap­ preciate it. I can't emphasize enough my belief that every game Notre Dame wins is a result of an attitude built up by the entire school. Football, I'm sure, will always play an impor­ tant and useful role in Notre Dame's future." • May 12, 1967 19 A Horse of a Different Color It was all so fitting and proper that it should rain on Derby Day - the weather added a new dimension to the "too-bad­ ness" of the 93rd running of the greatest of American thoroughbred races. With the rain came the mud; fine, splattering mud that would make for a slow track; dirty, caking mud that would follow home the thousands who came to see the horses and the color, and the many thousands more who had come just to be colorful. by Tony lngra:ffea

Two legitimate entrees who at least deserve honorable mention were Bill Brown, the strong tennis Richard team's number 1 man, and Bob Arnzen. Brown is currently 10-0 in singles play, as is his teammate Jas Singh; he finished tied with basket­ baller-baseballer Arnzen for the most write-ins. One final vote worthy of mention went to fencer Tom Sheridan. Only the team's number three foil man this year, he nevertheless had a convincing endorsement on his ballot: "He deserves some recognition for a great season." It was signed, "His ... roommate?" It seems that Tom's roommate is Resurrected: determined to see justice done. When Sheridan went 6-0 in a meet against lllinois and Wisconsin earlier this year, his picture and a brief recap were sent to Sports Illustrated as a possibility for their "Faces in the Crowd" column. Alas, Sheridan was himself foiled, but the rejection slip promised to "keep yours in mind as a face to watch in the future." Good luck, Tom. Saturday ------Speaking of Sports Illustrated~ that magazine joined a host of others this past weekend in making things hot for Sports Information Director Roger Valdiserri. With Dan Jenkins for some reason unavailable, John Underwood was sent to South Bend to dig up a story on the Old Timer game, and Valdiserri was called upon to fill in the facts. National feature articles are always taxing for publicity people, and they usually 20 May get top priority. But last week not only S.I. but The Saturday Evening Post and, of course, ABC-TV, each moved in with its own takeover plans. "ABC began moving in on Wednesday," Valdiserri reported, "and by Friday they must have had 150 workers around campus. Underwood and his cameramen came in Thursday night." So far, so good. Sports Information copes with the same problem at least five WSND-FM times every Fall. The trouble arose over the game itself, when a former high school tennis captain named Rene Torrado took off his shoe and began punting the Alumni offense into one hole after another. "Nor­ mally, we have everything on the players set up in advance. The television and newspaper people can find out in a minute anything they'd need to know about an individual. But Torrado caught us 88.9 mHz completely off guard. How long was he out for the team this spring, a week?" Bud Wilkinson and Co. managed to ease over the problem for "Wide World of Sports," (unknown, barefoot kickers come across strong on television, with or without case histories), but Valdiserri spent the next few days digging out of the avalanche which poured into his office from the press box. "For us, this game was more work than most Der Ring des regular season games. In fact, the Old Timers coverage was actually greater than for last year's Purdue game." The whole irony to this situation is that the best football game of the spring is played the week before Old Timers Day. Niebelungen Just when it ------was beginning to look as if the SCHOLASTIC was starting its own jinx, the Notre Dame crew has come to the rescue. Two weeks ago we did a story on the baseball team, which promptly dropped two in a row to Kent State and Bowling Green. In that same issue the "Chilly Philly" crew weekend was previewed, and not only did it rain the entire day of the meet, but the Irish finished last behind MSU 7:1S A.M. and Wayne State. Last week, at the largest rowing regatta in the midwest, the Mid-American Championships, all that was undone. Despite the driving rain which seems to be a part of crew meets, Notre Dame's club finished third (behind unbeaten Marietta and Purdue) in a field of nine other varsity crews. Among the conquered were both Michigan State and Wayne State, as well as Alabama, Minnesota, and Kansas State. But the Irish crew hopes to pull its biggest surprise this week at The Meet, the Dad Vail Championships in Philadelphia. --MIKE MCADAMS
