Where is the pipe Carl? University The Fordham University Glee Club conducted an- other successful series of concerts this year under the direction of Mr. Frederic Joslyn. The year was an active one indeed, with the Hvocalizing Rams receiving the highest praise for each of their performances. For Mr. Joslyn, fondly known as Doc , it was his thirtieth year as director. Rev. Theodore T. Farley, S.J., moderator of the organization arranged the active schedule. Included in their more outstanding performances were the open- ing concert at Mount Saint Vincent College, the an- nual Charistmas Concert at the New York Athletic Club, and the annual Town Hall Concert, the latter being sold out weeks in advance. Glee Club A vocal octet, The Ramblers, made up of members of the Glee Club, provided interludes of barber shop and spiritual singing both at regular concerts and spe- cial engagements. Members of the group are Jack Mellon, Frank Ryan, Bernie Dengler, Earl Johnson, Dick Doyle, Gabe Cuculescu, Mike McCarthy and Jack Burke. Among the Ramblers appearances were the Freshman Banquet at the Roosevelt l-lotel and the Fall Fantasy Boarder Dance where they were the fea- ture attraction. The true spirit of the University is most certainly exemplified by the Glee Club. This organization has made a lasting impression on all of us which will remain far into the future. ffikttiblfef' -P2 ' af ' asf' ' -wacwamxq -

Last minute check before going on the air! WFU -FIVI From studios located on the third floor of Keating Hall, WFUV-FM broadcasts a quality blend of educa- tional, entertaining, and non-commercial radio to an estimated listening audience of 300,000 persons, throughout a 50-mile radius. This is the voice of Fordham University, at 90.7 on the FM dial, which is on the air from 9:20 in the morning to ll o'clock at night, seven days a week. With the exception of certain executive positions this heavy schedule of broadcasting is handled by the stu- dents of Fordham-from announcing to publicity, and including such tasks as continuity, script writing, engineering, producing and directing. New announcers are trained by the more experi- enced WFUV staff men and attend announcing work- shops before their first on-the-air announcing duties. Many members of the staff have had professional experience working at commercial stations throughout the summer months. Classical music is the specialty of WFUV and everything in this type from the operas of Menotti to the gay can-can music of Offenbach and the progres- sive jazz of Kenton can be found in the music library of the station. WFUV begins its schedule for the day with the broadcast of the Mass and concludes broadcasting activities with the evening prayer of Compline. A day's schedule may include various classical music pro- grams, frequent newscasts, religious programs, dra- matic productions, reviews of current literature and plays, and educational forums. All home basketball and baseball games of Fordham are also broadcast to complete the well-rounded program schedule. Operated by the student, broadcasting the finest quality of radio entertainment, this non-commercial FM station is truly what its call letters indicate-Ford- ham University's Voice.

Rock 'n Roll! University and Founded in l925, the University Band has become a beloved tradition on the Fordham campus. lt is one of the most active organizations on Rose Hill with the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts highlighting its indoor activity, These concerts are held in the Band's new home, Collins Auditorium. The Band also marches in the Pulaski Day Parade and, along with Fordham's R.O.T.C. units, in the traditional St. Patrick's Day Parade. A familiar and most welcome sight at all Ford- ham's home basketball games is a representative dele- gation from the University Band which, along with the school songs, entertains the fans with Dixieland jazz selections. The Band's forty-tive members are under the direction ot Mr. George Suettert. The moderator has been Rev. l-larold Mulqueen since l929, making him almost as much of a Fordham tradition as the Band itself. The Business School is well represented in the Band by many underclassmen and graduating senior Bob Hatala.
