WND vs. Hot Water Editor: A friend of mine was telling me the other day about how station WND was beamed out through the water or steam pipes or something and I hardly be­ lieved such an explanation until I was told about their earlier current trans­ mitter which does make it sound a bit more reasonable. I was wondering whether this might not explain the delay in getting hot water in the morning in some of the halls like Alumni. I think it's fine for WND to use the pipes if they have to, but I think they should use some insulator or something so we would have more hot water, after all, that's what the steam pipes are really for — not radio programs. Also; how does a fellow get one of these jobs on the weekends to travel for WND. I heard that a fellow was up in Connecticut last Sunday and although I don't live in Connecticut I wouldn't mind traveling up there to help run a broad­ cast from some theater. I would prefer to go up to Canada or somewhere if WND is going to broad­ cast from there. Well, thank you very much for listening to my complaint.

As a Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church I have constantly tried to hasten the coming of that social reconstraction of the world which the Popes, particularly from Leo XIII to Pius XII, have labored so hard and so long ... I have taken my stand uncompromisingly at the side of the poor, the disinherited, and the dispos­ sessed. I shall continue to do so." The Communists, who have tried to put the Bishop's name on the lettei-heads of Front organizations, have forthwith dis­ covered that Bishop Sheil was no friend of theirs.

The more fortunate Idea of a University — is followed by every section, be it Activities or Under­ class. This central thought acts as the tie-in for the various parts, keeping them bound together by something more than glue. Dick and his managing editor, Bob Savage, are quick to point out the vast improvements embodied in this year's opus. Though the section previously de­ voted to geographic clubs has gone by the boards, the book has more appeal, say the boys. More football and basket­ ball pictures, a greater spread for stu­ dent activities and more pictures per section are guaranteed to increase gen­ eral interest, if not friendship from va­ rious chambers of commerce.

Speaking of pictures, Dick Gorman's flashj' photogs have shuttered their way through. 2300 accepted pictures (and dubbed through almost half again as many rejects). Included in this sizeable sum are the 1302 Senior shots.

Where's the Schedule? The section schedule shows — where's the schedule? Dick threw up his hands. There wasn't any schedule, at least none that was adhered to.
