And I will. I'll think a lot. But I’ve al- ready decided a couple of things. One is that Kitty Carswell, running as an inde- pendent, might well clobber the jaded bunch that will undoubtedly appear on the final ballots. She’s dedicated, enthu- siastic. smart, and cor-siderotc. She could appoint officials without regard to political affiliation and, with any luck, she might possibly find a few capable ones. BESIDES THAT, sac's pretty and vi- various and would cause such a stir at o governor’s conference that Maine could easily win district or national backing for many of the things Maine needs. Many limes a smile can stimulate un- selfishness. She'd motivate migration to Maine.

I want to move there, so why don t you start looking for some useful jobs in Maine?” And the men themselves would lock at Kitty and say. Well, if you think Maine would work miracles and make you half so attractive. I’ll start looking You have to consider these things from all sides. OF COURSE, WHEN VOU arc analyz- ing a possible election pattern, you al- ways have lo remember the presence of men like Uncle Jake. True, unless he gets a ride to one of his old home dis- tricts after he votes in Sunset Falls, he'll only have one ballot. But there arc still many men who share his prejudices. 1 don't mean that Uncle Jake is prej- udiced against women. He likes them, usually better than the sane ones like him Bu: he wants them to remember that they were an afterthought, a pioducl of a snare rib. He thinks they have reached wtiat should be their ulti- mate goal if they can bake a good apple P«- KITTY CARSWELL COULD out-think Uncle Jake, outrun him. probably out- trade him bnlhartly enough so that he'd have to walk home in a harrel or in an outfit he stole from a scarecrow.

The wives of his friends were deemed capable of handling no funds other than egg money. Until he was 20. they weren't allowed lo rote.

The station, located in the rave in the Gorham Student Center, is staf- fed by about 30 people who broad- cast. write news, and help in other ways.

The station is not affiliated with any department, and students re- ceive- no degree credits for partici- pating. There are no university courses in radio communications at L'SM but Allen conducts classes on his own in teheniques of broadcast- ing and in the regulations for receiv- ing third-class FCC licenses neces- sary for broadcasters.

WMPG is classed as a non commer- cial educational station, and carries no advertising Programming at pre- sent is limited to recorded music, news, and announcements, but Allen plans to begin organizing shows for taped concerts and radio drama.

The station, which reaches over 200,000 people, pipes its program live through the public address sys- tem of the student center.
