THE BOILING POT The statt of the 1949 Boiling Pot have attempted to present a few new ideas in this year's annual. The two most notable changes are the expanded faculty section and the new advertising arrangement us- ing a map ot Kalamazoo. With the deter- mination to make this the best issue of the Boiling Pot ever published, the statt began planning early last autumn and has worked diligently to carry through their ideas. The editor, Marion Poller, was ably assisted by Margaret Seibert, who will be the editor ot the 1950 Boiling Pot. Richard Meyerson very ettectively managed the finances and succeeded in putting through this new advertising plan. Ed Hertz suc- cessfully handled the Variety Show which was given in March. Most 'ot the photography work was done by Marvin Mantin and his assistants. Ioseph Pizzat produced the art work that appears in this book and also assisted Wesley Schultz in designing the layout. Esther Bisbee capably handled the position ot copy editor. Miss Virginia Earl was the Faculty Adviser. .x , mg 7' l flil 6' T i .... . 1,0 5 . ., gi iff' . tile-15 1' X If ,4A tmmml

Tl-IE INDEX The Index this year has been freed from faculty and administrative control. This has meant new opportunities for the editors to express their views, but also a new sense of responsibility to present both sides of every question. On the other hand, the staff has dwindled to a fraction of its size in pre- ceding years, which has put more of the burden of publishing the Index on the shoulders of the editors. For fun and experience the editors have put out everything from a tabloid style to ultra-conservative news writing. Features have ranged from comic car- toons to serious discussions of world is- sues. Thanks to a new photography and engraving policy, the Index has been able to print more pictures than last year. By recommendation of the Administrative Committee, the Index was granted the in- crease in subsidy of twenty-five cents per student per semester. The Index has tried to encourage student thinking through its columns of thought and opinion. Editorially it has at- tempted to foster just causes in so far as it was possible. Warren David was editor and Don Kiel business manager for the year.

v . fm' If 3 W. 1. M. D. RADIO STATION Station W. 1. M. D. was started in March of 1947 by lack Dentler, a 1948 graduate, with his own equipment in his own room and with one partner. From there it moved to the Hoben Hall attic. ln the school year of 1947-48 the station was moved to Iack's new room in Har- mon Hall with more records and a staff of eight. This fall the station was organized with a new transmitter and an amplifier. Later a turntable for electrical transcrip- tions and eight-hundred records were added. There now is a separate room in Harmon Hall for the station. A Board of Directors, which consists of George Ber- ry, Allen 1-larbach, Burton Swan, Albert Vits, Paul Lipschutz, and Donald Kiel, de- termines the policy of the station. The W. 1. M. D. faculty advisor is Mr. Ronald McCreary. A constitution is in the making. The radio staff now consists of thir- ty-five men and women students.
