Don't tune out student radio

by

Pop Wiggins, a musician on the 1940s radio show “Sun Valley Barn Dance,” once famously quipped, “Says here that radio's gonna take the place of newspapers. I doubt it. Y'can't swat a fly with a radio.”

While Wiggins may be alone in his view on the usefulness of the radio, he is certainly not alone in his ambivalence toward the crackling airwaves.
