EDITORIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM TWO UNDERGRADUATES are features of this issue. William J. Mitchel '42, station manager of the Dartmouth Broadcasting System and a member of the Dartmouth Radio Council, describes the background and beginnings of radio on the Dartmouth campus. Completing a year of organization, with the headaches caused by "bugs" in the system and with numerous successes to its credit, DBS has fully earned the respect of the College community as an exceptionally promising new field of student interest. The article begins on page 11.

One of the leading members of The Dartmouth editorial board this year was Edward J. Rasmussen '42. In the Undergraduate Chair, page 23, he notes trends and changes in student life and attitudes that have characterized past months in Hanover.

War Program Takes Hold, page 14, is a summary of most recent developments in relating the work of the College to the war. Plans for the summer term of full semester length are included and the principal branches of military service open to undergraduates are described.
