Maris. *dent Termed 'The College moved a step closer to a student radio station last night with a successful trial test of power line transmitting equip m,ent in the West Dorm area, according to David R. Igackeir, faculty adviser of the Radio Guild. The test was conducted by the Radio Guild and was a follow-up of a test made Saturday. • Residents of the area were able to tune in the station, which broadcast - music on a• frequency of 620 kilocycles. A crew of Radio Guild engineers toured the dormi tories and checked reception in different rooms. The tests prove, according to Mackey, that the entire West Dorm . area can be covered' by one transmitter. Mackey called the re stilts of the tests "beautiful" and said, that a`formal test for College officials would be held soon. Reports on the tests will be turned over to .Wilmer E. Ken:- wQrthY, chairman of President Ei senhower's radio committee. First-Tests gonducted Saturday's test was made dur ing the day. Last night's test was made while the dormitory lights were on. Reception for both tests was entirely satisfactory, accord ing to Mackey. The first tests of this nature were conducted in 1950. The prin ciple of operation involves send ing the radio signal through the building's power lines instead of through the air. The proposed campus radio sta tion will utilize a 1000 - :watt FM transmitter. The FM signal • will be converted to AM and sent through all dormitories. Frater nities and downtown living units will be able to receive the broad casts on FM. radios or over closed wire circuits. . • Circuit Redesigned The 1950 tests were 'conducted by .Sheldon Penman in' the worn en's dormitories and the Nittany 'Pollock area.- Last year Mahlon Knott and Prank Baxter redesigned the cir- suit with help from the Electrical Engineering department. The re built transmitter was used in West worm- area tests in different lo ations. The results were satis actory and the equipment was h-iade more compact by ~Radio Guild engineers during the sum mer.

Hall . dr., _professor STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1952 One-hundred seventy new student parking permits will be issued this week, according to in formation released Saturday by Capt. Philip Mark of the Campus Patrol. The new permits will be available immediately in 320 Old Main to students living outside the newly-revised commuting area who have ,previously registered their vehicles with the College. The permits will be issued on a first come first-serve basis. • The newly revised commuting area is bounded on the north by Mitchell avenue, on the east by Holmes and Pine street, on the south by a line midway between Prospect and Hamilton avenues, between S. Patterson and S. Sparks streets to the south of the College golf course and midway between Franklin street and Fair way road to the north of the golf course. Mark said that only stu dents living outside these boun daries will be issued permits. Permits Similar to Others Students living in the Nittany- Pollock area will not be eligible for the new permits even though they are living outside the re vised commuting area. The permits will be similar to, those issued at the beginning of the semester. They will be small blue and white stickers to be fas tened to the top bf the windshield, to the right of center. A smaller sticker designating the number of the assigned area will be at tached to the windshield toward the left side.' Additional Increase Possible The decrease in the commuting area is the result of a survey of the existing student parking areas set up at the beginning , of the semester. This survey re vealed that the \ present, student parking areas •are adegurate and that there is, additional room available for more cars. Mark said that ; the decrease in the size of the commuting' area is in accordance with the student parking regulations announced at the beginning of the semester. As additional spaces become avail able for assignment to ‘ students in the future, Mark said, a fur ther decrease in the commuting area will be made. Permits will again ,be assigned according to the date the vehicles were regis-. tered with the College.
