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.

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.
