Get Up, You! Have trouble getting up in the morning? This may be the answer. H. William Richter, Jr., of Bridgewater, Mass., a sophomore at Brown University in Providence, R.I., rigged up this radio-phonograph combination which automatically plays a recording of Richter's own voice at 7:30 A.M., telling him in no uncertain terms what deans do to students who sleep through 8 o'clock classes. The recording first coaxes, get firm, pleads and finally bellows "GET UP!" Richter , yawningly reluctant is shown (above) obeying himself.
