Speed
According to the National Safety Council,
excessive speed is involved in one out of three
fatal traffic accidents.
ALTHOUGH THE COUNCIL published many
warnings to holiday motorists, the accident toll
over the Fourth of July exceeded even the most
pessimistic predictions. The tragic number of
immediate traffic deaths piled up over the Mem
orial Day weekend was 347-topping' all previous
records for that holiday.
A recent test conducted in one of the nation's
largest cities proved that a car racing through
all stop lights and disregarding other safety
rules, managed to gain only a few seconds over
another auto observing the lights over the same
course.
The Council has come up with a phrase that
everybody agrees with, but many choose to for
get; It Isn't Worth It.
Ned H. Dearborn, president of the Council,
has suggested five tips to help lower the death
toll. They are:
1. Start early so you won't have to hurry—
and slow down at sundoWn.
2. Drive sensibly and obey legal speed limits.
3. Avoid abrupt stops and turns—and don't
take a chance passing.
4. Keep your mind on driving and expect
the unexpected from the other fellow.
5. Mind your manners. Be patient and coul
teous in heavy and tiresome traffic. -
"The life you save may be your own."
A Tradition
The Monday night group sings, long a tradi
tion at Penn State, offer summer students in
formal and friendly entertainment, and what's
more, a chance to meet two campus personali
ties—Professors Frank Gullo and Hummel Fish
burn.
THE TEAM IS WELL KNOWN throughout'
the State, their musical talents are in demand
at dubs, institutes, and other gatherings. They
base even made films to be used at more re
mote occasions when time will not permit a
personal appearance.
So far, the crowds this summer have not been
up to expectations. This may be because many
people feel that "all sing festivals are alike."
However, for an evening of vocal, enjoyment
that is different, Gullo and Fishburn, "un
rehearsed programs" would be worth a try.
SOME FIRST-NIGHTERS might even join
the ranks of those who return year after year
to Schwab tividitoriann-

According to reports received by the vacation
bureau of the Department of Commerce, Penn
sylvania is realizing its best recreational travel
and vacation season in history.
Theodore Roosevelt 111, Secretary of Corn•

glatestaining larger numbers of out-of-state
visitant than ever before.
DR: JANDOI FERBEE, world traveler, told a
College group recently that a traveler can go to
Arabia faster than one can get to State College.
Dr. rerbee might be surprised to see how fast
students can get out of State College at the
close of a semester.

DuMont Predicts Video
Boom Will Increase
Three out of every four families in America
will have teleVision three years after the FCC
"freeze" on new TV stations is lifted, predicted
Dr. Allen B. DuMont in the opening lecture of
the Radio-Television Institute last Wednesday.
At the end of World War 11, he stated, there
were about 6,000 television sets in operation.
Today there are more than six million. The
number of stations has jumped from 17 to 106
over the same period.
Affects Sports
Touching on the effect that television has had
on sports, Dr. DuMont said the major leagues
feel that it has helped their attendance, while
the minor leagues feel that it has cut theirs.
He quoted a recent survey revealing that during
the first six months after a TV set' is installed,
people have a tendency to remain at home, after
nine months they start returning to sports
events, and after one year many of them for the
first time are sports fans.
Color TV
As to color TV, he stated that he hoped a
standardized system would soon make possible
the reception of both color and black and white
pictures.
The inevitable authorization of channels in
the ultra high frequency range will remedy the
• present shortage of channels, he said.
Radio Possibilities Seen
For Penn State Campus
The possibilities of Penn State for a campus
limited radio station were seen by Prof. John
Roberts. director, Temple university Radio
Workshop at the recent session of the Third
Annual Radio - Televiiion Institute at the
College.
Professor Roberts explained that in addition
to everyone on campus being able to hear the
station at moderate expense, the separate , power
units between the town and college afford Penn
State an ideal location.
Explaining the campus limited wireless sys
tem used at Temple University in Philadelphia,
Professor Roberts told how instead of putting
the transmitter up, it is built downward and
fastened to steam pipes or wires which act 'as
conductors. At Temple, he said, the transmitter
is wired to a power line and built in a baSement.
. .
Trains Students
Stating the advantages of a camptts radio as
a training ground for students who wish to go
into the commercial field, he pointed out that
the station at Temple operates from 12:30 p.m.
until 11 p.m., five days a week.
Started as an experimental laboratory, wired
wireless has now become so popular on the
Temple campus that last year the station was
given the award as the activity which did the
most for the University.
