Major Notes the MILLSAPS COLLEGE ALUMNI NEWS SPRING EDITION Announcing— Juilding Program L > AAillsaps \,^' College Bulletin We Rolled Out the Carpet cA ^Message . From the President Frequently I am asked "What in- terests college students?" More fre- quently I ask the question. I am writing this column for Major Notes the "morning after." I have spent two evenings in a week's time in fra- ternity houses. It is not for me to say how profitable these evenings were to the men of these two chapters. It is appro- priate to comment on ray impressions. In the course of a three hour session in two chapter houses I talked informally with college men about a variety of subjects. They felt free, I am sure, to discuss with me any question they had. On both occasions the talk quickly got to the matter of class room instruc- tion. These men, the most of them, are interested primarily in the content, the substance, the quality, the purpose of courses of study. One alumnus of Mill- saps College, the writer of this column, is greatly encouraged when, in an even- ing where there was literally an "open season" for a discussion of any topic, discussion majors on instruction. My impressions constitute a tribute to both students and faculty. They con- stitute even more some unmistakable and welcomed pressures. Students are as frank to comment on weaknesses in instruction as they are to applaud the strength of an academic program. Next year every faculty member at Millsaps College will enjoy a private office. The conversion of Murrah Au- ditorium to offices and class rooms is under way. This improvement in physi- cal facilities will, we believe, substanti- ally affect the quality of our instruction, our counseling, our study and our writing. The High School Day agenda kept seniors on the go from early morning until late that memorable Saturday night. The sequence, from top to bottom, shows regis- tration, scholarship competition, tours and consultation with faculty members. More than 400 interested students attended as guests of the college.

Page Four MAJOR NOTES ; cAlumni Fund Passes $16^000 Millsaps College alumni and friends have given or pledged more than $16,000 to their Alma Mater through the first annual Alumni Fund program, accord- ing to Nat Rogers, '41, chairman of the 1956-1957 campaign. The figure stood at $16,120.81 on April 22 with more than two months remaining before the July 1 deadline. To exceed the announced goal of $10,000 for the first year of the Fund, 740 alumni had mailed checks, cash, and money orders for an average gift of $21.78 per person. Last year's total participation in the annual dues program was 623 donors with a final total of $2,900 contributed. The success of the Fund in its first year has surprised even the most opti- mistic officials. Figures reveal that more alumni are giving and that a phenomenal gain has been registered in the amount of the individual gift. Con- tributions have ranged in size from $1 to $1,000 with close to half of the total given coming from donors whose gifts Encouraging news about the first annual Alumni Fund campaign obviously pleased were $100 or more. these College officials.

    Here are the names of hundreds and hundreds of broadcast announcers, commercial spokesmen, hosts, m.c.’s, and narrators who worked for sponsored, sustaining, and special programs which featured or included the big bands. However unlikely some of these program titles seem, we have confirmed that they, indeed, had a name bandleader as a featured attraction or guest. Listed under each person’s name are select examples of the radio programs that they were a part of and the year(s) of that work. According to our sources, sometimes a program is called by its sponsor’s or product’s name and another time it’s referred to it by the star performer’s name - but they may be the same program. Many of the sponsored programs, as well as sustaining remote broadcasts, were heard in the USA on a network, such as NBC Blue or NBC Red, CBS, Mutual, or ABC, and typically originated in a major location, such as New York City, Hollywood / Los Angeles, or Chicago. The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) began operation in 1926. Its ownership was originally divided among the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) headed by David Sarnoff, General Electric (GE), and Westinghouse. WEAF served as the flagship station of NBC-Red and WJZ the anchor of NBC-Blue; both were in New York City. It was said that the colors represented either NBC’s color-coded program charts or the pencil lines which the American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) engineers drew to indicate the wire paths for each network. In terms of highest-rated programming, the NBC Red network bested the NBC Blue network, but the Blue presented lots of public service and cultural programming including dance band remotes.
