umoji In April WBOA marked its third anniversary of campus broadcasting. Through the generosity of the Class of 1924, Bowdoin-On-The-Air has constructed and operates one of the most modern college radio stations in the country. With technical equipment of the latest design and its student staff, WBOA regular- ly completes a weekly broadcast schedule of thirty hours and, in addition, broadcasts such special feat- ures as athletic and musical events of local interest. Students operate and use all of the modern facili- ties of the station: the United Press radio news ser- vice, a popular and classical record library (which is being constantly enlarged), a fully equipped control room, and two accoustically-treated studios, all of which enable WBOA to rival many commercial sta- tions in facilities and programming. Through the dual aim of providing a broadcast- ing service to the College and town, and training stu- dents interested in the many phases of radio, WBOA has become one of the most popular extra-curricular activities at Bowdoin. 18

(J3owcloin flan Each year, most fraternities choose a foreign stu- dent with whom they wish to share their Bowdoin Life.” The college grants complete tuition scholar- ships to these foreign students and the fraternities of- fer them free room and board. This is the Bowdoin Plan and it has recently come to the end of its eighth successful year. The Bowdoin Plan has become a permanent part of Bowdoin Life and it has been adopted by a great number of colleges all over the United States. The Plan has won Bowdoin and America many true friends by giving young men form abroad the oppor- tunity of studying in this country and simultaneously familiarizing them with American life. Political 3t orum The Political Forum has been more active during its past two complete semesters than it has been for several years. Under the leadership of William A. Fickett, ’54, the Forum has presented interesting speakers dealing with a wide variety of subjects. In the spring semester of 1953 Dr. Carl Anthon, formerly a member of the United States High Com- mission in Germany, described the effects of Soviet rule in the Russian Zone of Germany. Dr. Leland M. Goodrich, Professor of International Relations at Co- lumbia University, discussed The U.N. and the Cold War”. Assistant Professor of Economics at Bowdoin, James A. Storer, concluded the Forum’s spring pro- gram with a lecture, supplemented by slides, on eco- nomic conditions in the Philippines. Last fall the Political Forum presented President Emeritus Kenneth C. M. Sills as its opening speaker. President Sills gave his impressions of the situation in India based on his trip of the previous year. A discussion group including all the foreign students dealt with the problem of nationalism in Asia. The final speaker of the fall semester was Mrs. Murial Rolls, formerly a member of the British Consulate. She spoke about the British Commonwealth. The Forum showed two films in connection with her lecture. President: William A. Fickett, '54 Vice-President: Richard Dale, '54 Secretary: John B. Goodrich, '55 Treasurer: David B.
