In a "disc jockey", any disc jockey, one of the most important, and certainly the most difficult, skills that must be learned, is that of putting your own personality into a cold metal micro­ phone, so that it comes out as a warm and real person on the other end of the listener's equally cold, fabric speaker. As with any other person, you may not like the disc jockey's personality. Some will like him and others won't. But a disc jockey has to sell his show and his product to an audience who finds it easier to ignore the radio than listen specifically to what it is saying. A good disc jockey, by projecting him­ self into the listener's room, almost com­ pels him to listen closely. Two DJ's on WNDU, besides the Zulu Warrior, have particularly mastered this art. They are, of course, Al Wood and the "Old DJ, KJ", better known as Kevin Joyce. Again, you may not like them, as you may not like any other person, but if your dial is set at 640 kc when they are holding forth, you can hardly ignore them. And, if you met them on the campus, and talked to them for a short time, you'd immediately rec­ ognize them. Why? Because they have been completely themselves on the mike. By listening to them, you get to know each of them personally. For instance, when I told K. J. that I was going to write about him this week, and asked for his actual height it's a short story ... short collar (an important factor whenever you speak of him) he gave it as 5' 9". Maybe his naturally interesting per­ sonality and his experience with WLNH SHIRTS for SPRING gave him an unfair advantage over the rest of us, but Al Wood had no exper­ ience before coming to WNDU, so the in 5 new short-collar styles art can be developed by one who wants to bad enough and is willing to work on in oxford cloth, pique or broadcloth . . . it. in white or solid shade . . . button or Maybe that is why I'm prejudiced to­ wards announcers like Al, D.

Where Tumpane demonstrated a real touch for casting was in the supporting roles. Particularly good were Bill San- toro as Archie Schwert, F. P.

Everyone—including Bill Bleakley, who moped and postured through three acts as Ginger Littlejohn —splayed his role adequately. Michael Casey's semi-abstract sets were uneven, but the best of them, as in the jail scene, fit the mood of the play remarkably well. All in all.
