were veterans.
The figure does not include 137
veterans who are attending the

by the College for practice work.
Figures for last year’s Inter-

Scientists Visit College
In lonospheric Conference
More than 100 scientists from
North America and the British
Isles will attend the conference
on lonospheric Research to be
held at the College today through
Wednesday.
Principal purpose of the con
ference, which is sponsored
jointly by Penn State and the
Geophysical Research Director
ate of the U. S. Air Force, is to
acquaint scientists in the field
with the latest theoretical and
experimental developments in
ionospheric research—particular
ly at frequencies below the
broadcast level.
Experimental and theoretical
analyses of radio propagation at
very low frequencies have been
neglected by scientists over the
years because of the magnitude
of the instrumentation required.
For similar reasons the exploita
tion of the very high frequency
radar regions was delayed until
the pressure of war showed them
to be useful.
During the war, the develop
ment of long range navigational
equipment, such as Loran, by

Reservations
Mrs. Naomi Haupt, secretary of
the Central Booking Office, re
cently announced that all rooms
in campus buildings to be used for
extra activities, entertainment, or
recreational purposes must be re
served 24 hours in advance.
This information was released
for the benefit of new or visiting
instructors to the campus. The
ruling is necessary to prevent du
plication of meeting places and
to meet fire and safety regula
tions. It applies to picnics in
Hort Woods as well as to parties
or dances in the TUB or any other
campus building.
Groups or instructors desiring
to make such reservations after
5 p.m. weekdays or on Saturday
afternoon or Sunday may do so
through the Central Booking Of
fice, 320 Old Main. During regu
lar class hours reservations maybe
made through Ray V. Watkins,
College Scheduling Officer, at the
Armory.

MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1949
British and American scientists
pointed out the value of the low
frequency spectrum to precise
navigational and control services.
Accordingly, post-war research
efforts are actively being directed
toward the exploitation of this
low frequency region.
In order to study the transmis
sion properties of these radio
waves, certain experimental and
theoretical analyses of the effect
of the ionosphere at these fre
quencies must be made.
Working with the U. S. Air
Force, the Pennsylvania State
College has recently formed a
new laboratory group, known as
the Radio Propagation Labora
tory. The group combines the re
search efforts of two older re
search units, the lonosphere
Studies Group and the Long
Wave Propagation Group. It is
believed to represent the largest
group of scientists working in the
low frequency region. __
