WHRB, located in the basement of Dudley Hall, has always been a student owned and operated non-profit commercial radio station. Legends have sprung up to the effect that our signal is "sent through the steam pipes" in some mysterious fashion; actually, the radio signal is impressed on the lighting circuit of each dormitory in the steam tunnels under the University, and these tunnels also contain the lines with which we can send a signal from such places as Sanders Theatre and New Lecture Hall back to the studio, where we can either record it for future use or broadcast...

...lampooning novel about suburbia. He has several classic moments--among them a wonderfully droll bit when he chastises an infant for throwing cereal by emptying the bowl on the youngster's head. Maureen O'Hara and Robert Young perform adequately as the harassed couple in typical domestic comedy fashion with soap-opera naivete. The script is often forced and depends on such cliches as prying neighbors, bosses chasing their secretaries, and the like...
