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.
