Mlt'li' Vol. XXIII February 21, 1939 No. 2 Assemblies It is a regrettable fact that the attendance at the school assemblies is not what it should be, Last Fri. day, the motion pictures which were shown in the they cannot be expected to respond. In this case. notice of the assembly was not posted on the bulle- tin board until the day before the meeting took place. There was no notice in the NEWS; no an- nouncements in classes. This did not give the stu- dents adequate time to learn of the affair, The appalling lack of publicity accounts for the lack of attendance at this program, as well as at others. X That good publicity can bring a capacity crowd lto a lecture was proven by the Polaroid talk, given lby Mr, Wheelwright. In this case the lecture was adequately planned well in advance. The nows was spread around the Institute by all available means. As a result the students flocked to Science Hall to hear what it was all about. This came about not only because the subject of the lecture was natural— |y appealing to men, but because it was brought to their notice in a manner which aroused their in— l terest. Every student knew about it and wanted to lattend. 7' i If the institute officials will follow the general lplan that they used in the Polaroid lecture, the at- tendance at the various assemblies which they plan for the students will be much better. Lack of stu- ‘dent interest, now a serious item. will be overcome, ,All this can be accomplished quite simply by ade~ lquate planning of the assemblies, in advance, and then a good campaign of publicity to let the stu- dents know what is on the calendar and arouse their interest in it.
