The third Penn State Radio Day will begin at 7 a.m., Monday, January 12,. and will run con
tinuously until the final sign -off at 12 p.m., the completion of 17 hour's of uninterrupted pro
gramming.
Radio day is a special day set aside on which the Radio Guild and the Departments of Speech,
Drama, and Journalism combine forces to simulate the broadcast day of a typical 250 watt radio
station. The major difference between WMAD, the hypothetical Radio . Day station
,("operating"
-at _ll2O kilocycles), and a real
commercial station is that the
WMAD shows are heard only
through speakers in 304 and 307
Sparks. There are alio more dra
matic programs heard on WMAD
than would' be broadcast over an
average small station, according
to David R. Mackey, assistant
professor of speech and super
; visor of . the project. ,
WMAD staff organization is
similar to that of a commercial'
• radio enterprise. James Bloxliam
will act as program manager,
assisted by John Citron. Allen
Klein is head of production; his
assistant is Laßue Fritz. Chief
announcer is Jay Murphy; chief
engineer is Ellis Maris.
• Madeline Sharp and Sally Low
ry will handle the WMAD traf
fic department. Anne Jeanette
Jones will supervise drama; her
assistant is Nancy Luetzel. Nancy
Stein and Marjorie Smulyan will
handle non-commercial contin
uity, while Patrick Runco will
supervise commercials and com
mercial continuity.
Donald Klinepeter and Marion
Brodbeck will head the music
department and the sports de
partment will be in the hands of
Don Barry and Rob er t High
ton. Nancy Luetzel Is in charge
of news and promotion, assisted
by Craig Sanders.
Members of the Drama, Speech,
and Journalism departments, no
tably, the Journalism 91 class,
which is preparing commercials,
and the Speech 425 class, as well
as niany other interested students
from other schools of the College
are writing, producing, directing,
and acting out the variety of
shows to be presented Monday.
A morning disc show opens the
day's programming, following a
regulation station sign on. Dur
ing the day, there will be shows
of all types, including news re
ports, news analyses, music al
shows, women's programs, a quiz
show, soap operas, kiddie pro
grams, and dramatic programs.
Interested persons are urged to
observe the shows in progress
in 304 Sparks, or listen to the
broadcasts in 307.

council parliamentarian, head of
the publications and publicity
committee.
College Senate Changes
4 Undergraduate Rules
Reinstitution of the practice of reporting below grades at mid
term is one of four changes in the Regulations for Undergraduate
Students approved yesterday by the College Senate.
Originally Rule P-2 stated that if a student is failing 50 per cent
or more of his credits at midterm,
he shall be notified by 'his dean
and warned of impending dis
missal, of which his parents shall
be, notified. The change imple
ments this regulation to read: "At
the end of the first eight weeks
of each semester the name and
grade of each student whose class
grade at that date falls below
passing must be reported tO the
student's dean."
The calendar committee will
now resume the practice of pub
lishing the date when below
grades at midterm are to be re
ported by instructors to the stu
dent's dean
Graduate Requirements
A change in the wording of
Rure Z-2-e, requested by the
Senate committee on student af
fairs, - was approved. The words
"approved by" replace "filed
with" and the rule now reads:
"The date of the social function
and names of chaperons shall
be approved by the dean of men
and the dean of women at least
one week before the event." This
rule concerns student social or
ganizations.
A change in Rule E-5 clarifies
the College ruling on completion
of graduate requirements off

dent who is within four credits
or 12 grade points of require
ments for his degree will be per
mitted to complete his require
ments by extension (including
correspondence) courses with the
College without being in viola
tion of the residence requirement.
A student who is within four
credits
_of requirements for his
degree may earn the necessary
credits (but not grade points) at
another. institution whose credits
are acceptable by transfer to, this
College without being considered
in violation of the residence re
quirement."
Albrecht Recommends Change
The final change, deletion of
Rule A-6' and an addition to •Rule
A-5, covers the College policy
'for readmission during regular or
summer. sessions. The change re
quires any student applying for
readmission to the College at any
time to get the recommendation
of the dean of his school, after
which action will be taken by
the committee on academic stan
dards. Rule A-6 covered summer
sessions separately.
Herbert R. Albrecht, chairman
of the Senate rules committee,
recommended -the changes.

The students. living 'in Hemlock
