Interracial House Students
Proclaim Venture Success
Fairmount House, East, the in,
terracial, international, and inter
faith dormitory for men students
opened at the beginning of this
semester, has completed its first
semester with a total member
ship of 24 studtnts.
Both the advisory committee,
made un of interested State Col
lege residents, and the members
of the group . have pronounced
the venture a success arid are
making plans for the coming se
mester. The opening of• the house
was the culmination of meetings
of students representing differ
ent racial and religious back
grounds in an effort to alleviate
housing difficulties and sponsor a
democratic method of interracial
cooperation in State College.
Members of the advisory com
mittee, Mrs. Arthur Thompson,
Dr. George E. Simpson, Rev. Don
ald W. Carruthers, and Dr. Henry
L. Yeagly, have looked upon the
project as a social experiment
roughly corresponding to Penn
State's experimental research in
scientific fields. Their connection
with the operation of the house,
however, has 'been purely adVis
ory.
Students Elect Executivei
The students living 'at the house
have elected a resident executive
committee consisting of Henry L.
Livas, chairman; Martin Alperin,
Vice-chairman; Bernard Byers,
treasurer; and Robert M. Moore,
house manager. Efforts have been
made to keep this group. truly
representative of the various rac
es and faiths at the house. The
group is now working on a con
stitution which will probably be
drawn up next semester.
Fairmount House, East, which
is, located at Fairmount avenue
and Locust Lane and was former
ly ASTP Barracks 49, now has
20 members, since several left at
the end of the summer session..
Their• president is a graduate of
Hamptcn Institute who is getting
_his master's degree in architec
tural engineering. Another mem
ber is a graduate Of Lincoln Uni
versity and a member of the
Hampton Institute faculty.
Declare House Successful
InqUiring among the -rxiembers
of the house as to the success of
the experiment, the advisory com
mittee received several decidedly
favorable comments, among them
that Of a Negro student who said
that through it he had "realized
.some of his dreams." An ex-G.I.
who has applied for membership
said that he bad been looking for
a liaise of that type and felt that
it expressed something of what
American soldiers were fighting
for.
The house is giving a tea for
any persons interested in the pro
ject Sunday afternoon from 3 to
4:30.

50,000 RADARS
Pr WO years before Pearl Harbor the Govern-
I ment asked Bell Telephone Laboratories to
help perfect radar as a military instrument. The
Bell System, through the Western Electric Com
pany, its manufacturing branch, became the na- .
tion!s largest supplier of radar systems.
Bell scientists designed and deVeloped many
different types of radars— each for a specific job.
One particular type was standard for B-29s in
the Pacific for navigation, target location and
high altitude bombing. Another directed all Navy
guns over five inches.
This is not surprising, for radar development
and production stem from the same roots that
produced and continue to nourish this country's
telephone system.
