...tape recorder, purchased by the Theatre and Poetry Departments of the University Library and the Summer School last July will record the words of the author of "Wasteland" as well as the other forth-coming Spenser Drama lectures and Gray poetry readings. They will be transferred to discs and added to the collection in the Woodbury Poetry Room in Lamont...
...Playwright Eliot, the modern world has still the look of a wasteland where drinks and tidbits are served.

In what had once been a sandy wasteland, they saw miles of irrigated cotton land. They winced at the high costs of irrigating ($4 to $25 an acre for water) and harvesting the crop (see cut), and could hardly believe the big yields: 572 Ibs. an acre, v. the U.S. average...
