PASSES FOR AUSTIN TRIP—The Ex
ecutive Committee has authorized seniors,
juniors and sophomores who are not on
the deficient student list, and who will
miss no quizzes, to obtain passes to attend
the baseball games in Austin Friday and
Saturday, May 8 and 9. This applies to
passes to attend the games only.
On presentation of the approved pass
to the instructor, the absenses are not to
count as cuts. It should be noted, however,
that this does not excuse any student from
a quiz given on those days, nor does it
authorize the instructor to give him a
chance to make up the quiz at any other
time.—F. C. Bolton, Dean.

Edna Mae Oliver. Although “Lyd
ia” is a story about a woman and
will probably appeal more to those
of that sex than to men, it has a
certain appeal to the “stronger
sex” also. Its interest for men is
in the fact that Merle Oberon as
Lydia tells what a woman really
thinks of her suitors (in this case
four of them) deep in her heart.
The opening scene of the film
depicts Lydia as an aged spinster
on the occasion of the dedication
of an orphanage which she has
endowed. She dines with the four
men who have been her suitors and
by flash-back sequences the love
story of each one is told. In these
scenes, she lays bare her real emo
tions and feelings toward the men
who have loved her and tells why
they failed to win her.

—VOX POP—
(Continued from Page 3)
ling of detectives in the crowd, the
Vox Poppers were more worried
that their stuff might be too corny
for Broadway and the New York
ers too fast for them. Once on the
air they became confident upon
discovering that they had to steady
the nerves of their mike-frightened
customers.
The results of that first network
Vox Pop was a big moment for
the historians of contemporary
radio. The impact on the loud
speakers of the nation influenced
audience-participation trends in
the broadcasting industry which
Vox Pop itself has ably paced
through a decade of notable ac
ceptance by the country’s listening
millions.
Blame or praise, as you wish,
Vox Pop is responsible for starting
the radio quiz cycle, the dozens of
program copies in one variation
and another which have distributed
over the kilocycles a largesse of
wealth for supplying or answer
ing a colossal flood of questions
which has not abated to this day.
With the passing years, Vox Pop
has changed with the times, add
ing improvements and keeping
ahead of the field. Parks Johnson
constantly checked the public
pulse, anticipates the audience ap
petite for something new and dif
ferent, and periodically shifts
technique. The show keeps on the
move. Advance men, program di
rectors, producers, engineers and
others travel with Vox Pop up
and down and across the country
on a busy schedule.
The present-day schedule for
Bromo Seltzer brings to the CBS
network every Monday night a
big-time radio production, radical
ly different in format and pre
sentation from the original Hous
ton sidewalk pitch. But with all
the changes and no matter what
one hears, it’s still the same old
Vox Pop.

nautical Engineering; Professor J.
E. Breland of the Mechanical En
gineering department; and T. H.
Terrell, instructor in the Civil En
gineering department.
—TOUR—
(Continued from page 1)
The first part of the tour will
include visits to the mills and cot
ton market at New Orleans, an
inspection tour of Louisiana State
University at Baton Rouge; visit
to the mills and government lab
oratories at Leland, Miss.; and to
the mills and the National Cotton
Council in Memphis, Tenn.; and
inspection tour of the ginning
plants and laboratories in Dallas.
They will be back on the campus
for graduation exercises on May
15-16 and then leave for Mexico
where they will visit Saltillo, Tor-
reon, Parras and Mexico City.
While in Mexico they will visit
the mills, agricultural colleges and
farms where they will investigate
production of truck crops, wheat,
grapes, alfalfa, cotton and other
general field crops under irriga
tion.
From Mexico City they will
make several side trips to the cot
ton producing localities in that
part of the country.

Friend or Enemy?
They're taking no chances
Day and night thousands of civilian volunteers at Army author
ized observation posts report Aircraft Flash Messages to Army
“filter” centers—by telephone. From this information, each plane’s
course is charted on filter maps... relayed to operations boards
such as the one shown above—by telephone. Should checking
prove the aircraft to be an enemy, the telephone would play an
important part in the defense strategy...in warning endangered
communities... in mobilizing civilian defense units.
Bell System men cooperated with Army authorities in design
ing and providing the telephone facilities used by the air defense
system. This is but another example of a war-time job well done.
