Altoona TV
To Operate
Next Month
The installation of a new tele
vision station in Altoona may
bring more emphasis on TV in
State College and surrounding
areas in the near future.
The station, WFBG-TV, operat
ing on channel 10, will begin tele
casting about Feb. 1. Because of
the station's relative nearness
and strong output (316,000 watts),
it is expected that a clear picture
will be received in the borough-
Television consultant W. N.
Brown Jr. of State College said
best results in receiving the new
station necessitate use of an aerial
for channel 10. Many borough
residents now have aerials for
channel 6, on which WJAC tele
casts from Johnstown.'
Brown said Bellefonte residents
may be able to receive -the Al
toona signals, depending on the
position of their homes.
WFBG-TV will begin its signal
on about 75,000 watts and will ex
pand to its permanent facilities
with 316,000 watts, with a range
of from 60 to 90 miles from' Al
toona. Channel 10, on which
WFBG will operate, is an ultra
high frequency channel.
WFBG's director, Jack Snyder,
said the station will select pro
grams from NBC, ABC, Columbia,
and Dumont networks: President
of the company, George P. Gable,
estimated the cost of building the
station at more than a half million

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Prof Rates
Gridders
East's Best
Penri State had the best foot
ball team in the East during the
last season, according to Roger
B. Saylor; associate professor of
economics. Saylor computes foot
ball ratings for a hobby.
The former U.S. Coast Guards
man, who perfected his system
while serving in the South Pa
cific during World War 11, has
been computing high school rat
ings in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey for years. This is his first
published effort in the college
field.
Prof. R. B. Saylor
Says State best in East
"I've tested my college ratings
for two years," Saylor says, "and
now am satisfied the results are
sound."
Saylor nominated Georgia Tech
for the top spot in America's 1952
gridiron sweepstakes. He credited
' the Engineers with the tougher
schedule as he rated them over
unbeaten Michigan State in his
national ratings.
Trailing Georgia Tech and
Michigan State in the standings
are UCLA, Notre Dame, Okla
homa, and Southern California
in that order. Penn State is rated
13th in the nation. "
Town Parking
Changes Set
Parking will be prohibited on
the ,south side of. Bea'er avenue
from Pugh street to Atherton
street, effective Jan. 14, accord
ing to a recent decision of State
College Borough Council.
This decision was made in an
effort -to eliminate a bottleneck
which ha s created traffic and
safety hazards on the thorough
fare.
In order to make available
parking space which will be elim
inated by Beaver avenue restric
tions, it was also decided to place
meters on the west sides of S.
Allen and S. Frazier streets from
Beaver to Foster avenues.
A special traffic committee
called into session last week by
Burgess E. K. Hibshman recom
mended these changes to the
council. Beaver avenue business
men, who also attended the meet
ing, agreed the changes were nec
essary.
Student Dry Cleaning,
The Student Dry Cleaning
Agency reopens at 7:30 a.m. to

Hemlock Cottage to Go; .
Students Move to Maple
Students living in Hemlock Cottage were told last- night
to clear out within the next day or so. Reason: to make room
for the Student Union Building. Walter Wiegand, director of
housing, last night revealed that construction on the $2,876,-
000 building will begin Monday.
Hemlock residents were informed at 5 p.m. yesterday by
Allen C. St. Claire, director of
purchasing, that they would have
to move to Maple Cottage across
the street since the building will
be torn down.
"Very soon students will be see
ing a lot of activity around the
site," Wiegand said. A simple
'ground-breaking ceremony is be
ing planned, but no special date
has been set, he said.
Students Good-Natured
Remodeling
Of Library
Has Started
Most students• ambling into the
Pattee Library yesterday paused
before the door leading to the
open shelf reserve room and the
newspaper file room when they
noticed the corridor had vanished.
The corridor walls separating
the two rooms we r e knocked
down during the Christmas va
cation as the first step toward
remodeling that part of the first
floor, according to Ralph W. Mc-
Comb, head , librarian. However,
the workmen were unable to fin
ish in time, and the large two-in
one room is now open only tem
porarily for the convenience of
students during exams. '
Present plans call for closing
the room during mid-semesters
to add finishing touches, -includ
ing a new rubber tile floor, an
acoustical soundproof tile ceiling,
a large flourescent fixture, and
new plaster and rose paint for the
walls_
Other new equipnient will be
added at a later date, McComb
said. The room will serve as an
anteroom for two large reading
rooms when the new $1,400,000
wing is opened in the fall. Mc-
Comb hopes that later the room
will be further converted to a
"browsing room," an informal,
recreational reading room.

will soon see visible evidence of
construction on the site.

Philadelphia contractors. The site
of the building will be on Holmes

dent organizations, four lounges,
