Penn State Radio Station First To Work for Civilian Defense By SAM PROCOPIO Although many civilian radio stations throughout the United States are now under military operational procedure, orders, and message handling, the Col lege's radio station, located be hind the University Club, was the first to function as a civilian •de fense station. The College radio station oper ates under call letters W3YA (amateur) and A3YA (MARS— Military Amateur Radio System) The call letters, however, have been changed through the years. The present radio station staff includes 37 students, College em ployees, and faculty. Seventeen of these have joined the staff this school year. Anyone is eligible for the staff providing he possesses an amateur license, and is an employee or student at the Col lege. In 1912 BXE began as an ex perimental station and was at tached with the Army network 12 years later as WBYA. Now station W3YA which can communicate with any station in the world, has received two spec ial Army assignments since 1924. The first came in 1934 when the station made official Army con tact with the second Admiral Byrd expedition to Little Amer ica at the South Pole. W3YA had its second assign ment when it represented the Army and Norwegian embassy station as principal contact with LI2B for operation of the Kontiki expedition Peru to Polynesia. The College station was awarded a citation from the Army's chief officer for its part in the project. While the station is now oper ating under Army procedures, the final objective of MARS is an Financial Support It is expected that the staff, in addition to Dr. Newsome, will in clude an expert in television programming and consultants in technical, financial, and other as pects of television operations. Financial support to under write the institute and its staff has been provided by the Fund for Adult Education. Plans call for actual demonstra tion of television equipment and the production of educational programs, as well as for discus sions led by consultants and staff members. It is expected that a handbook on educational televis ion based upon the institute and the studies undertaken by the staff and consultants, will be pro duced.- May Further Objectives Commenting on the institute, Adams expressed the view that the institute should serve to iden tify the further steps which are necessary at local, national, and perhaps regional levels, for the effective use by educational or ganizations of the television channels which the Federal Com munications Commission has pro posed to reserve for educational operation on a non-commercial basis. Fundamentally, Adams said, the institute should help to dem onstrate the potential of televis ion as a device which educational instiutions may use with great ef fect in furthering their basic edu cational objectives. Dr. Adams stated that plans for the institute were an outgrowth of a conference on educational television programming which was called by the council on. June 20 of last year.
