From this in significant embryo has matured thi Intercollegiate Broadcasting Systen with headquarters in New Yorl uniting the facilities of over twenty five campus radio stations, two thousand staff thembers, and an esti mated fifty thousand listeners. This rather amazing growth wa really quite simple. Students knev what students wanted to hear, ad vertisers wanted to reach those stu dents, and the ever-present plier and screw-driver element welcomei the chance to fool around with wire and steampipes. Quizzes, recorde< music, political harangues, and lilt ing commercials emerged miracu lously from collegiate radiators al over the country. IBS was forme4 to solicit national advertising fo these now numerous and influentia steampipe stations.

The orpsman's arm is poised-you sum mon every ounce of strength your fear-shattered mind can muster. The needle flashes through the air and stops, quivering, as it hits ts mark. A stabbing pain sets every raw nerve jingling. You want to fall-to die right there-to release yourself forever from these mortal tribulations. Then it comes to you. From a far corner of your mind you hear a still strong, small voice -"Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor, Pearl Harbor." The words auto matically form on your lips and you mutter defiantly, "Damn the needles. On to P.T." You straighten, sway for a second then walk out into the sunlight-free. Pain still keeps your teeth clenched and your eyes are set firmly, determinedly on the gym. At first you don't hear a voice behind you. You turn.
