Mr. Loman pointed out that he had picked up FM signals as far away as Canton, 0., and Oneida, N. Y., both of which places are approximately 200 miles, from- State College. He is hoping in the near future to be able to pick up New York City, about 210 miles distant Conduits are being installed in all new dormitories, according to Mr. Loman, and it would be a simple matter to run co-axial cables through the steel con struction. Conduits, likewise, are being installed in McElwain Hall, and it will be possible to install them in all other dormitories. With the use of Mr. Loman’s dipole, students in Simmons Hall have already been able to pick up FM receptions in the various lounges and sorority chambers of the dormitory. An FM commit tee, newly reactivated, is investi gating further possibilities for in stalling FM sets. If these tests come to a successful culmination, it is possible that in the near fu ture students and townspeople in State College will be using vision sets to a great degree of satisfaction, Mr. Loman stated.
