Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
Two Princeton students took up the banner of "moral sensibility" to wage war on the current "Lonesome Gal" radio programs, and the young lady who calls her listeners "lover-boy" to sell tobacco.
In a letter to the Dally Princetonian, the students protested that such tactics are "insidious," and "erotic rhetoric," and reminiscent of vendors of "illicit love potions."
The program is being broadcast over the radio stations of Yale and Pennsylvania, as well as WHRB and Princeton's station.
A publicity blurb recently issued by the "Lonesome Gal's" manager claims the "honey-voiced disc jockey has entwined herself with the Ivy League, and is a detriment to studying."
Indians Sympathize
The Dartmouth newspaper sympathized with the letter in the Princetonian, but added by way of comment that the two men from New Jersey should take a "maturity test" themselves. Starting from a score of 100, they should detract ten points for every time they feel "a twinge of self-pity or erotic desire . . . Sixty is not passing," the paper added.
Meanwhile, WHRB has been getting occasional calls on the program, none of which has been impassioned either for or against the singer.
