Gamma Beta Alpha, ASSC Sponsor Unit for Student Talent
Swing music, symbolic recordings, and special programs of university interest will soon be wired into many university locations from a campus broadcasting studio, as plans to give SC its own “drainpipe radio” network near completion.
Gamma Beta Alpha fraternity, a member of the Collegiate Broadcasters of America, will sponsor the broadcasting unit in conjunction with the associated students, according to Warren Scott, director of campus radio activity.
TALENT DEVELOPER
Proposed as a means of developing student talent through radio, the local unit will be made up of a broadcasting studio with wires to the Student Union, the campus dormitories, and houses of various university organizations.
Discussing the proposed project yesterday, Scott said:
“These broadcasting systems are based on the following principle: A low-powered transmitter sends signals to its outlets by the use of wires. The signals a^e so low in power that they can be heard through the ether in only a one block radius, thus are outside the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications commission.” BROADCASTS PICKED-UP Wired to the drainpipe in the houses selected as outlets, the broadcasts can be picked up by any radio in the building, Scott explained.
Starting at Brown university three years ago, “drainpipe broad-

Alpha Delta Pi Sorority Loses Three Purses as Culprit Loots Bedrooms on Second Floor
Alpha Delta Pi sorority became the fifth Greek house to be robbed within the last six weeks yesterday when an unknown thief gained entrance to the second floor and seized three purses, the contents of which were $20, according to the police report. *
Mrs. R. R. Leabo, housemother, reported to the police that the burglary occurred sometime between 1 and 7 a.m., after the occupants had retired.
Victims of the robbery were Lettye Maye Rush, who reported the loss of $11, her purse, and its contents; June Allen who was missing her purse and $1; and Muriel Hoist who was “relieved” of $9.
Barbara Boggs, Alpha Delta Pi, was awakened and perceived the faint outline of the intruder as he entered her room with a flashlight
and proceeded to rifle through her left.
bureau. Frightened by the man, Miss Boggs was unable to make any outcry and lay terrified in bed until long after he left. She reported, however, that1 nothing was taken from her room.
At least four other sorority houses along Greek row have been previously entered by thieves this year. Alpha Chi Omega was the first victim of this mysterious series of intrusions and robberies, followed by Kappa Alpha Theta and Gamma Phi Beta, the latter two being robbed on the same night, Jan. 21.
On Feb. 8 the Delta Gamma house reported the theft of $26 and a 1938 Oldsmobile coupe.
None of the mysterious marauders have been apprehended, and in most of the cases no clues were

British Lord Reviews War
Damage to Three German Battleships Related by Admiral
LONDON, Feb. 26. — (IT.E) — A British submarine has - torpedoed a German cruiser, probably the Prinz Eugen, and the German battleships Scharnhorst' and Gneisenau lie severely damaged at north sea ports, but the nazis are still building submarines faster than the allies can sink them, First Lord of the Admiralty A. V. Alexander told the house of commons today.
In a sweeping review of the war at sea, Alexander disclosed that the battle of Dover strait may have been a British victory rather than defeat because if the three warships which forced the English channel are laid up indefinitely, Germany’s plan for creating a big surface fleet are seriously impaired.
Alexander termed 1942 a critical year for allied shipping but emphasized that Anglo-American naval forces were fast rallying from Pacific and far east reverses and should soon have greater strength than before Japan entered the war.
RAF photographs have revealed meanwhile, Alexander said, that both the 26,000-ton battleships, the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, which participated with the Eugen in the dash from Brest to Helgoland, were laid up in German dockyards for repair of damage suffered when they were attacked in the channel by swarms of British planes and destroyers.
Trapped Nazis Fight Against Extermination in Lake Ilmen Area
MOSCOW, Feb. 26—(U.P.)— The Red army was reported tonight to be hammering home a battle of extermination, one of the greatest and bloodiest of the war, against the survivors of 96,000 German troops trapped two weeks ago in the Staraya Russa area below Lake Ilmen.
The position of the encircled 16th German army was described as hopeless after thousands%of its men had fallen and desperate lunges had failed to break the Soviet noose. OFFENSIVE SURGES
The Leningrad radio reported that the town of Staraya Russa still was in German hands “but not for long; soon the people who live in unending terror of the gestapo will be liberated by our troops encircling the area.”
Meantime the rejuvenated winter offensive surged on everywhere, with new victories reported from Leningrad and the Ukraine.
The army organ Red Star said that on the Leningrad front the Russians killed 10,784 Germans in 21 days of fighting. German guns were shelling the old capital, and with the lengthening days the Soviet air force was throwing more and more strength into that sector to silence them. .
RUMANIANS KILLED
Russian cavalry was credited with annihilating and dispersing a Rumanian division which with four German divisions — 75,000 men — launched a strong attack near a key railroad station several days ago. The cavalry infiltrated and outflanked the Rumanians, killing 2250, and the remainder of the detachment fled after suffering heavy losses.
The government newspaper Izves-tia estimated the original strength of the 16th German army oelow Lake Ilmen at 96,000 men. It said the German high command had rushed up fresh forces in an effort to break the Soviet line of encirclement, but desperate lunges bath from inside and outside the band had been repulsed.
