Trailing a winning streak of five straight encounters, freshman debaters will meet Princeton for the first time this year at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Union. Trying to make it six in a row for the Crimson will be Walter C. Carrington '52 and Jay R. Nussbaum '52. They will defend the negative side on the topic, "Resolved, That basic industries should be nationalized in the United States...
...WQXR, a similar station in New York, does broadcast better commercials in smaller numbers; but WQXR has a potential listening audience three times that of WBMS, and in addition is partially subsidized by the New York Times. Taking its condition into account, however, WBMS could still make some improvement. A sizable portion of "The World's Most Beautiful Music" is short enough to conform to the dictates of radio business policy. Not many Mozart or Haydn symphonies, for example, are over 20 minutes in length. High standards need not be prostituted to economics...

From then on, his personal initiative and drive are the only factors that make the difference between a Committee that accomplishes something and one that doesn't, between a report like that just put out by last year's Education Committee, and a farce like the Red Book investigation, which has bogged down for almost two years...
...Council's basic problem is one of personnel. A membership that lacks initiative, interest, or time can hardly make anything but a "do-nothing" group. While griping may go on all year, this is the only time the average undergraduate has a chance to do anything about the Council. Intelligent voting, however, is more difficult here than in, for example, a national election. A candidate can't be judged by his platform for there are no "significant issues" to campaign on, and Council elections have never been the cause of much excitement anyway...
