"It did?" the average stude
In most cases, parents or friends
have clipped the article, and it is
proudly exhibited to the student,
who reads it, and usually com
ments, "Now I wonder niow the
paper found out about this?"
And that is the purpose of this
article--to explain how your home
town paper gets those little bits of
news about your doings at the Uni
versity.
It is called "the hometown ser
vice," and it is one of the duties
of the USC News Service, headed
by Robert J. Cranford, veteran
newspaperman.
The service consists of gather
ing news of interest about individ
ual students, and sending it in dis
patch form to the newspaper in
the student's hometown. Election
to campus offices, initiation into
fraternities or sororities, roles in
campus plays, etc., all are covered
by the hometown service.
. The latest campus event covered
by the service was the release of
the Dean's Honor List. Short ar
ticles about the 500 students on the
list were sent to over a hundred
papers in South Carolina, as well
as to out-of-state papers in such
cities as Atlanta, Augusta, and
Charlotte. Single name dispatches
went as far as San Francisco and
New York City.
According to Cranford, over 90
percent of the dispatches are print
ed by the newspapers to which

ial?" queried "Red" Manuel
a.m., and the show wag "on
he wires" of W.U.S.C.
Sponsored and produced by stu
ents from radio classes to adver
ise the three radio courses offered
y the English department, the
ariety program also gave the
adio students a vital insight into
he many aspects-and problems
f radio production.
The 30-minute program included
ix musical selections and two com
dy skits, and except for several
iinor errors, was a smooth-run
ing show.
But getting it smooth and keep
ng it that way in the face of the
nforeseen difficulties that always
eem to crop up in such a produc.
ion, was not a simple matter.
Work on the program began two
reeks before actual presentation.
nstructors Wallace Martin, Frank
[ardin, and Mackie Quave, all of
VIS, kept students plugging away
n the right direction. The three
ommercials heard on the program
iere written by one of the classes
a a group. Teams of several stu
ents each were formed to select
iusical numbers, write continuity
opy, and author the comedy skits.
A total of UO typewritten pages
eas required for the production.
Jnknown is the number of doodle
heets used. Ideas were plentiful,
ut not all fruitful. For example,
ne comedy skit was written, re
ised. rewritten, and finally thrown
ut entirely in favor of a better
n.
At the studios the night of the
rograin, nay Matthews, in charge
f production, arranged the records
o be used in order, but discovered
everal minutes before wire-time
hat someone had added a dozen
ecords to them, and had mixed up
he whole lot. Ray shuffled records
rantically, managing to straighten
hem out at the last second.
WUSC's control operator, Herb
fcFarland, was unavoidably de
ained, and slid into his seat a full
0 seconds before the show was to
tart. But Herb flipped switches
nd wrestled milliampheres like a
eteran, and the program started
ight on time.
"Red" Manuel, the main an
ouncer, had as his station the
mall center booth between the two
tudios. Closed -to all outside air,
he small ten by four booth grew
armer and warmer as the show
rogressed. "Red" grew redder as
he heat increased, but he delivered
is lines in a cool, lively manner.
"The whole production went off
cry well," commented Instructor
lartin. "We hope to produce more.
rograms like this in the future."
"This is your announcer bidding
ou goodnight and good radioing"
nded the program, and all con
srned relaxed, pleased with a job
rell done, and grateful for the ex
edience which might soon prove
cry useful.
