Danny Kaye thinks that tele vision criticism should be taught on every college and university campus in the country. "Nearly everybody takes his turn at belting TV," he says. "At least we might raise the level of criticism by offering degrees in the subject." Danny has no beef with the specific, constructive criticism of television to which both the critics and public are entitled. But he thinks it's time to stop the gen eralized knocking of the medium, which reached even into official quarters when the F. C. C. chair man recently characterized tele vision as a "wasteland." "No doubt much of TV is a wasteland," Kaye agrees. "Yet for the selective viewer, it can be not Dramatics Planned For WUSC Drama organizations at Caro lina are planning radio plays for station WUSC-AM and also stage productions for this semester. Macready Society, a reading and radio play group, plans a dramatized reading of Stephen Vincent Benet's "John Brown's Body" during the current semes ter. The society will also produce two radio plays, one of which will be George Bernard Shaw's "Dark Lady of the Sonnets." University Players' tentative choice for a fall semester produc tion is a comedy, still undesig nated. Porter Barron heads Macready Society. Penny Fletcher is secre tary; William Savage, treasurer; and Dr. Ashley Brown of the de partment of English, faculty ad viser.

Fifth Branch Sumwalt T New Aiken President Robert L. Sumwalt will be the principal speaker Sun day at 3 p.m. at the dedication of the Aiken County Branch of the University. Senator Edward Cushman of Aiken County will preside at the ceremony. The dedication of the branch will be held outdoors on the cam pus, wveather permitting. The Aiken County Commission on Higher Education is sponsor ing the dedication program. F. A. Townsend is chairman of the com mission and will be among the speakers. Dr. Nicholas P.

The Committee is inter ested in talking with off-cam pus women students-both in dependents and sorority girls who live with parents or rela tives, or who live in boarding houses, concerning the election of an off-campus resident as a representative to the Commit tee. Girls who cannot attend the meeting and who would like to place a name in the hat for nomination should get in touch with Dean Clotworthy, or one of the following dorm presi dents: Sandy Swink, McClin tock; Mary Kearnes, Wade Hampton; Connie Wall, Maxey; Pris Foster, Kirkland; and Eleanor Houek. Sims. ny Ka only entertaining but enlighten- i ing." 11 Danny cited one week's Los b Angeles TV logs in support of his position. "Every weekday on Los Angeles television, college courses are given for credit," he points out. "I'm presently watching a U.S.C. course on Ernest Hemingway's works. But since I never got past P.S. 149 and Thomas Jefferson High School in New York, there's not much point in my earning credits for the course." During the one week of TV prograniming he picked at ran doni, Kaye also pointed up such worth-while viewing as an Adlal Stevenson report, a World Con cert show with Artur Rubenstein, a chronicle on the life of Ernest LITTLE MAN 0L0 Ol --6 WCLD YOLI Mt, JOT AN &O-CL&xK CLA6 later, Figh ALMA MATER A We hail thee, Carolina, and sing thy high praise; With loyal devotion, remembering the days, When proudly we sought thee, thy children to be; Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!

Certain entertainers who stayed strictly away from television dur ing its formative years are not entirely blameless, Danny admits. lie mentions one performer of some prominence who publicly doubted that he would "ever" ap pear on TV.
