Orrin Tucker IQ
Tests Take Radio
Orrin Tucker is the gent who
went across the ocean and brought
back our Bonnie to us except that
there wasn't any ocean. He did
take her across the Mississippi
and that's almost aa good. Any-
way ahe'a here.
Orrin heard Bonnie Baker sing-
ing at the Hotel Clarldge in St.
Louie. He liked the way she
sang (clever fellow) and talked
her into joining his band out on
the coast (cleverer). That was
four years ago. Oh Johnny was
written 23 years ago. Bonnie was
born 21 years ago. Maybe nu-
merologlsts could have told us
what was going to happen this
fall. Anyway we all know now.
Bonnie who needs no descrip-
tion at this late date doesn't hold
the mike when she sings. This
leaves her hands free. Her only
steady boy friend is a fox terrier.
This leaves her heart free. Well
what are we waiting for?
College students are people!
This startling discovery long
rumored in certain circles has
been established beyond a ghost of
a doubt by a CBS New England
network show Campus of the
Air.
Each week students teachers
and college organizations go be-
fore a mike in Boston and prpve
that you can't tell a collegian at
five paces that college students
like everyone else do all kinds of
things with their time. Some-
times even the right ones.
A student in each of 27 New
England colleges passes on to an
editorial board of ten students
from colleges in Greater Boston
weekly reports of campus people
and activities that would make
interesting broadcasting. The
board edits the material and puts
the weekly shows together. The
board is headed by Harvard
Northeastern and Tufts editors.
The show on the air Saturdays
from 5:00 to 5:30 p. m. can be
heard in New England only. To
colleges in other parts of the
country it will be interesting for
Us idea.
Every Sunday for quite a while
on his CBS So You Think You
Know Music quiz Ted Cott asked
his contestants to sing whistle
hum shout grunt or groan the
theme of some musical selection.
The grunting and groaning
didn't really get started though
until a couple of weeks ago when
the program was taken off the
air. The mail and telephone calls
that piled up at the studios began
to melt the hearts of CBS pro-
gram chiefs who had other plans
for the Sunday half -hour 2:30
to 3:00 p. m. EST. They were
topped by a letter from a mumps-
ridden little Toronto girl who com-
plained that if she couldn't learn
about music from the program
her parents would make her start
taking piano lessons.
So So You Think You Know
Music is back on the air as of

Conservation
To Be Taught
Dr. T. H. Hart president of
Daniel Baker College attended a
meeting last week at Waco Texas
in which twenty-five colleges in
Texas participated. The object
of the meeting was to provide a
way to arouse Interest in the need
for conservation of natural re-
sources. It was decided that courses in
the following subjects be given In
these colleges as extension
courses: conservation of mineral
resources conservation of the soil
conservation of the water supply
reforestation and conservation of
wild life. Some of the courses will
be taught by specialists from va-
rious governmental bureaus and
from the Department of Agricul-
ture. The courses in Daniel Baker will
be supervised by Mr. R. E. Blair.
Three-hour credit will be given
for the work to students who pay
the tuition fee or the general pub-
lic may attend free for enjoyment
as lectures. These conservation
courses will be taught in the um-
mer school this year.
and the N. Y. World-Telegram
voted it one of the best quiz pro-
grams on the air last year. Ted
Cott invented the show one Fourth
of July afternoon when he was
playing records over a small sta-
tion. He invited the engineer the
cleaning woman and the porter
into the studio for a quiz on the
air. The station got so much
mail that the program became a
regular thing. It moved to CBS
last spring.
P. S. The porter won the quiz.
Marvin Miller Hai din-Simmons
sophomore came to CBS Hobby
Lobby with a cow to prove that
milking a cow helps him write
poetry ... it works out like this
Grade A a sonnet; Grade B
a ballad; Skimmed Milk a lim-
erick; Sour Cream a column like
this from your very good friend
the milkman Roger Starr.

A0F Club Films
Life On Campus
During the week of January 22
the A. O. F. Club began filming
movies of the campus life of Dan-
iel Baker. The first reel which
was filmed against the back-
ground of the snow has already
been completed. The pictures are
being taken by Frank Alford.
Plans for these movies were made
last fall by the members of the
organisation.
When the pictures are com-
pleted the students will be given
an opportunity to see them in con-
nection withra thirty-minute fea-
ture. Efforts are being made to
secure pictures of every student
in poses of work and play on the
campus. It Is hoped that the film-
ing will be completed by the first
of March. For further details of
these campus pictures watch The
Collegian.

leaving Cornell University was
selling toothbrushes from door to

If anyone has phoned Albert
Dekker lately and left a message
will they please call again? It
seems that the Dekker daughter
Jana aged 24 has but lately dis-
covered the telephone. She spends
a lot of time sitting in front of
the instrument waiting for it to
ring. Jana manages to carry on
a pretty intelligent conversation
despite her tender years but her
penmanship well she's only 21&.
Her memoranda of callers are in-
decipherable. Stormy Jeanette MaoDonald's

among the latest to be listed as
lady-killers. Eleven contract star-
lets were polled for a consensus
on "the most fascinating males"

who hadn't even been considered
in the running was Cecil B. De-
Mllle! Next in order but trail-
ing came Bing Crosby Ray Mil-

Crea Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and
John Howard.
