Dorm Radio Tests
Called Successful
Tests with "wired wireless" in Atherton, Simmons and the West
Dorms over the week-end were termed successful by the campus
radio station committee.
Three stud ents, Mahlon Knott, Edwin Greenberg and
Sheldon Penman, bro ad cast a jam session and recorded
musi c Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings. The
broadcast was carried into the dorms through the power lines.
The West Dorm Council yester
day issued questionnaires to area
residents questioning them on the
advisability of having laundry
case service from the West Dorm
post office.
The questions are:
1. Do you send your laundry
cases home, and if so, how often?
2. Would you use the laundry
case mailing service if it would
be installed in the West Dormi
tories post office?
The council will try to get
laundry case service from the
post office through proper stu
dent government channels, John
L. Clark, council spokesman, said.
The council will take action if it
feels the response toward such fa
cilities is favorable.
The questionnaires must be
placed in the paper slot in the
West Dorm post office not later
than Saturday, Clark said.
During one Irvin Hall broad
cast, a dance also was going on i,n
Irvin Hall.
Closed Circuit System
Over 100 colleges use the
closed circuit broadcasting sys
tem. The signal is transmitted by
power lines to places on campus.
Fraternity lounges and other off
campus living units can use spe
cial telephone lines.
The committee said that if the
campus radio station receives the
senior class gift,. it could begin
broadcasting almost immediately.
Skull and Bones and Parini
Nous, senior men's hat societies,
are campaigning for the station.
Better Speech Facilities
R. T. Oliver, professor of
speech, said that the station
would provide better facilities
for radio and speech work and
cultural appeal for all students.
The proposed program for the
station includes discussion of
campus problems., interviews of
a dilates and heads of oiganiza
t:c ns. Outstanding lectures 'could
be broadcast directly or tape re
corded.
Help To Student Government
Oliver believes that a campus
station could do for stu
nt government what television
is for the Kefauver hearings.
.`:fctissions of cantempory events
interdepartmental panels al
will be broadcast.
Dramatic shows, comedy pro
-.,•ams and news programs will be
hrc'adcast by th e speech, dra
matics and music departments.
It would cost from $5OOO to
t6OOO to put the program into ef
fect. The College already' has a
radio station in Sparks.
Balloting On Gift
Begins Tomorrow
Seniors will begin voting to
morrow to choose their class gift.
The suggested ways for spend
ing the $BOOO gift fund are: a cam
pus radio station, a student press,
an ambulance, a gridiron statue,
a gate at the junction of Route
322 and Pollock road, a scholar
ship fund and a grand piano for
Schwab auditorium.
A preferential ballot will ap
pear in tomorrow's Collegian.
The voting will take place Wed
nesday through Friday in Old
