Video Sets Here Getting Ready for Convention Week

The stampede to the television sets begins next Monday as the Democratic National Convention gets under way in Chicago, and the Summer School is ready for it.

Grays Hall reported yesterday that there are two TV sets in the Yard area that will be available to Summer School students for Convention watching. One of these is in Grays itself and will be accessible from 1 to 11 p.m. throughout next week. The other, which is on the second floor of the Union, will "seat a larger crowd" and will be available as late as necessary each night until the Convention's business for that day is completed.

The administration said it was not bothering to assign one set to Stevenson supporters and another to Harriman backers, because "it hoped that a feeling of Party harmony will prevail among students gathered around the sets." The administration also appealed to Republicans not to throw things at the screen.

Besides the sets in Grays and the Union, there are numerous other TV facilities available to the public in the Square. And like the Summer School authorities, the bartenders are ready.

Questioned yesterday, one local tavern proprietor described his Convention-watching customers as "not as wild" but "much more intent" than the people who flock to bar television sets for such events as the World Series.
