Station Still Faces Many Problems The passage last week by All-College Cabi . net of the 20 cent fee for the support of a radio station at Penn State did not mean that all the problems facing the , station immediately van ished. Indeed, the exact opposite is true, for now those interested in the station realize that with in a few months, the station is expected to be a reality and that a great deal of work lies ahead. Chief among these 'problems will be the training of personnel.to assume the many jobs necessary to operate the station. This will mean that many seniors will have to work without reward of any kind to indoctrinate underclassmen and women who will be here next fall. The avid desire for a radio station shown, in the past by the members of the Radio Guild and other students is an indication that this particular problem can be overcome, but not without many people unselfishly giving their time and talents to something which, they, as undergraduates,' will never see fulfilled. Other problems face the radio group. They must determine just what students want to hear, how much time should be allotted to the various types of prograrhs, how the facilities of the Journalism, Speech, and Dramatics departments are to be integrated with those of the School of Engineering, and just which is the best way to expand the Station’s facilities. In addition, some technical problems still must be faced. The complicated application for a Fed eral Communications Committee building per mit has yet to .be approved. Once the station is ready, many exhaustive tests will have to be run to insure that all is working 'properly. .The joh willnot be an easy one. Ii will mean a great deal of work, and coordination. Nat* - urally there will be errors and occasions for criticism and laughter. The general student body must remember, however, that perfec tion is practically impossible to obtain, that skill in certain matters takes time, and that, after all, the people doing most of the actual work on the station are students, too. Don't expect too much too soon. New AIM Proposal Both Good and Bad Basically, the suggestion by William Shifflett, president of the Association of Independent Men, to limit nominations to the AIM presidency to sixth semester men is good. The move will destroy the use of AIM as a stepping-stone to higher offices, such as All- College president. It is true that AIM has sup-' plied the College with a good All-College pres ident in the person of John Laubach, but blocking the use of the AIM office as a stepping stone will increase the prestige of AIM. It will put the office on a plane equal to that of the president of Inteyfraternity Council. AIM, which is representative of a greater number of men than IFC should have at least equal standing. The office of -AIM president should be an ulti mate goal for the independent man. However, Shifflett's motion also has a draw back. The motion would .present the oppor tunity to elect men of, inferior quality as AIM president since time spent in school may be their only qualification. This drawback can be nullified if independent men place the good of AIM before personal politics. To a few, this idea may seem unusual if not downright radical. AIM has the wealth of manpower necessary for the best possible selection of presidential candidates. The final decision must be made by the in dividual independent men. They are the per sons who will feel the effects of the change. —Dickßau “An old tutor of a college said to one of his pupils: Read over your compositions, and when ever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly' fine, strike it out.” Aero.

PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve Ticket Change Urged As a former checker in one of the dormitories, I would like to explain a situation which I believe needs changing. The regulation states that no student shall be let into the dining rooms without a meal ticket. Also, if the student loses his meal ticket, he must purchase a duplicate ticket immediately,. At the beginning of the semester I followed the N policy to the nth degree. But as .the semester progressed, my attitude changed for the follow ing reasons: 1. Students, being human, occasionally mis- placed their meal tickets. 2. The students were not given a reasonable length of. time to find their meal tickets— usually one meal. 3. Lost meal tickets were found one or two days later, after new meal tickets were pur chased. \ 4. The checker knew the students and their respective numbers, so why not give them more time to find their tickets. The last reason of.the above is the hone of contention. If the checker knows the student and his number, why should the student have to buy a duplicate meal ticket? If there is any doubt as to the student belonging in a certain dorm, the housemothers or counselors could vouch for him. After all, the food administra tion is feeding the students, not the meal tickets. For violating the pre-stated regulation, I was fired. In some instances I gave the students two or three days in which to find their meal tickets, the numbers of which I already knew. In the rare instance when the meal ticket was not found, I begrudgingly sent the student to the head dietician. The student in turn bought a duplicate meal ticket. And as a result .of the head dietician finding out about the three , days grace, I am no longer a checker. ■ • Letter Cut —Name withheld Ed. note: Mildred A. Baker, director of Col lege Food Service, explains thaf students pay 5230 for a meal ticket, which is, in effect, a receipt. Loss of any receipt does not serve as circumstantial evidence when one is asked for said receipt. Take, as an example the necessity for having receipts for expenses reported on an income tax form. Miss Baker also points out that when checkers are hired they are told that students are not to be admitted into the dining hall without their-meal tickets. • Gazette...

Strictly frOm Ungof Someone started a campaign that has really caught our fancy. Maybe you’ve been approached and urged to save the'red cellophane bands from the top of your packs of cigarettes. We were—-and the story behind the collection of such, bands is that supposedly there is a campaign to get a seeing-eye dog for a blind girl. The condition, though, is that a pound of cigarette bands must be accumulated. It all sounded quite good and charitable to us and. although not too easy a task, a worthy one: to try to achieve. Thus, our indi vidual campaign began. Coopera tion was amazing. In fact, , we would say that rarely was a case of student apathy found. .. . Then we learned that there was a box in a downtown drug store for the purpose of depositing the bands. .Upon phoning the drug store, no one seemed to know any-, thing about the campaign, with the manager of the drug- store guessing that the campaign might be a joke. However, he did reveal that a night dishwasher had. de posited the box in the store. :Thus far, the Daily Collegian is unable to determine, which nights the dishwasher is on duty, and there fore, we are still in the cold so far as the truth is concerned. .. . We're still collecting the bands, and we hope not in vain; Our- Collegian mail box will soon be overflowing, through the coop eration of staff members, and friends. If ihe campaign is a fake, it certainly would not be a bad promotion idea ; for. some cigarette company. Some smok ers might even be able to feel a little more comfortable, since a new means of rationalizing would be provided. No time has been or can be lost in the continuation of collecting the bands. We can’t even imagine how many it would take to make a-pound, but it certainly must be a huge number. So, just-to main tain hope that the campaign is a real one, it’s not a bad i ea to save them. If you, too, have fallen prey to the campaign, we can work to gether. Any substantial evidence regarding the truth of the - drive would make many persons more satisfied.. ■Rumor of a similar campaign was circulated last year, after which it was learned that the ru mor was just that. It’s , really , a shame to keep us in the dark—so, let’s hope . that the might, have the answer for. us. -* * - You might be interested; in some of the various and sundry comments drawn from the publi cation of the title “Strictly from —Ungar” in Saturday’s Daily Col legian. The degree .of difference was amazing. One friend said, “You don’t-have to tell them the columns ‘from hunger’ before you start.” Another told us, “Your ti tJmi* «va& wocse than. ‘lt’s a . ; ll, 1952 W'rfW' %ksr Liu’.” But then, .there were, those who made us a little more content when, they commented, “That title’s pretty cute, Ungar.” '' And what, do all the com ments lead to?—the conclusion that manypeople have different opinions, which they are Wel come to have. We have ours, loo, : and the point is that, in this case, our opinion carries weight, for the column will maintain its present title. It just shows you what power can do! ' The. flu must really be seen as cold. An error made in yester day’s Daily Collegian emphasizes, through repetition of the same line of a headline (twice) the fol lowing fact: “Flu Seen, as Col'd —Flu Seen as Cold,”. Worthy of comment is the fact that residents of the West Dorm area .are mow petitioning to get hit music, rather than classical ,and semi-classical, played during their meals. This is, indeed, the uncommon case regarding musical desires on a college-campus—for so ■oft e n t to listen, -to classical music is the THING to do. But we guess residents of the -West Dorm area either need a relief, or the present music is too rough bn them.- . ■ ......
