The weather during the last week
has provided sport for many young
people. Hunters Dam has been
frozen over and many people have
enjoyed skating, although some have
gotten an unpleasant wetting. AS
the snow this week was not deep
enough, shedding could not be en-
joyed. This kind of weather, how
ever, was very unpleasant for people
who do not Ire cold weather and

current hearings.
1t was upon the present lacks in
the existing system, rather than
toward q definite new modus operandi,
that most of those who have appeared
at the hearings directed their atten-
ton. On the broadcasters' part, they
propose in the ensuing sessions to
show that they have held their hands
out to bona fide educational groups.
local and national, and that they are
already cooperating with some of the
leaders among them.
The broadcasters are strenuously re-
sisting the suggestion that Is per cent
of radios facilities, whether wave
lengths or time, shall be set aside
for purely educational broadcasts.
First they argue that this will mean
the elimination Of precisely that many
existing stations and, secondly, they
assert that they are already willing to
devote a reasonable proportion of
their time to educationally staged
programs If the educators will only
get together and formulate a we'll

One of the chief complaints of the
broadcasters is that the National Com
mittee on Education by Radio. which
is headed by Joy Elmer Morgan of
the National Education Association,
has spent its time and effort in bait
ing radio rather than trying TO work
out some mutually agreeable plan of
operation.
On the other hand, the National
Advisory Council on Radio in Educa-
tion, headed by the Nobel Prize phys
icist, DR.. Robert A. Millikan. while
often critical Of present radio prac-
tices, has undertaken to master the
technique of educational radio. Pend

Commercial School
Sport Condemned

Miss Perrin hopes to see the
day when the breaking of records
and the winning of champion
ships are eliminated from amateur
sports. Both, she says, have con-
tributed to the present deplorable
status of school games.
Sports BrOadened
The majority of the larger
women's colleges, she says, al
ready have seen the light and
are increasing their play activities
to include all the students at the
school and not only a small
minority.
Mems colleges she hopes to see
fall in line. The argument that
gate receipts pay for increased
sport equipment she answered
thus:
"They don't need expensive
devices to play. And the greater
part Of the money goes to pay
for StadiumS which would not
be needed if more of the stu
dents participated in the sports"
