Joint Customs Day Set for Tomorrow Frosh "hello" spirit will expand on campus when joint customs enforcement day goes into effect at 8 a.m. tomorrow. , The Freshman Customs and Regulations Board declared tomor row a joint customs enforcement day at a meeting earlier this week. According to this decree, upperclassmen may haze both freshman men and women, and upperclasswomen may haze frosh men and women. Only those customs listed in the Student Handbook may be Union Demands Get No Reply From College College sources would not com ment today on the union action Monday night in which the group, representing technical . and serv ice employees, asked for a con ference with President Milton S. Eisenhower to discuss what the, union calls "violations of agree ments reached in former negoti ations." The agreements referred to were reached last September and curbed a possible strike at that time. The union claims the College said it would put the un ion requests into effect this Sep tember and has failed to keep its promise. The President's office has made no comment on the situation but sources close to Dr. Eisenhower feel he will make a public state ment sometime today., The meeting was called by the Local 67, American Federation of Labor, State, County, and Muni cipal Employees to protest the changes in College working con diti o n s as "unsatisfactory." Changes went into effect Sept. 14. The union said the College did not comply with their request for the recent 10 per cent state pay increase, time and a half for over time, and increased and uniform vacations. The College did grant a 40-hour week of five eight-hour days, but the rotation system for days on and days off is unreason able and confusing. R. A. Callahan, internationl di rector of the union, said he felt there was still time for negotia tion and did not encourage a walkout. He urged employees to wait until they heard from . Dr. Eisenhower. He said that Samuel K. Hos tetter, College comptroller, was doing his job in his conferences with union even if he was letting them down. He added, "If Hos tetter runs out of talk, we will take action." He then urged em ployees to go to Dr.• Eisenhower.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE College Broadcasts May Begin Soon Hope that the College radio station may go on the air within six weeks was expressed yesterday by David R. Mackey,. general manager, when he announced that a test signal had been transmitted for several minutes on Friday. The signal, which the listener could distinguish only as a hum, was broadcast under the station's call letters WDFM on the FM frequency of 91.1. Purpose of the test according to Mackay was to see if the transmitter was working and the effect .of transmission on other radio and television sets in the area. It had been feared by some, he said, that the campus radio station might cause interference on television receiving tubes, but none was discovered. Mixed Response Greets Sunday Dress Ruling Student response varied consid erably to the recent ruling of the Dean of Men's office requiring shirts, ties, and coats as standard dress at the Sunday noon meal. The new directive went into effect Sunday, and affected all men in the College dormitories. The. ruling was prompted by a resolution passed at the Student Encampment at Mont Alto this fall, reported James Deah, assis tant to the dean of men in charge of independent men. The students at the encampment felt, he said, dressing up would improve the socialbility of th e dormitories. The resolution, adopted at the encampment, is subject to final approval by All-College Cabinet. Cabinet, scheduled to meet to .morrow, is expected- to vote its opinion of the ruling. Student comments ranged from a feeling that it was proper for Sunday when most had returned from church, to the feeling that there was nothing to get dressed up for, or that it was an unneces sary inconvenience. Most opposition to the ruling has centered in the Nittany-Pol lock Dormitory area, although the majority of students interviewed favored the plan as effected by the Dean of Men's office. Players' Tryouts To Begin Tonight Tryouts for the Players produc tion "Hay Fever" will be held at 7 tonight in the Little Theater, basement of Old Main, for actors with, previous Players experience. Mew persons will try out at 7 p.m. Friday. Those, interested may sign on the bulletin board in the Green Room, second floor Schwab Auditorium, before tryouts begin. The comedy, by Noel Coward, will be presented Nov. 5,6, 7, as the only Players offering in Sch wab this semester. "No one knows exactly when and where he's going—or even if he's going," an Air Force spokes man said. The North Korean had expressed a desire to .go to the United States. Mackey said the test proved the station's equipment was ready to transmit signals carrying the human voice. If the hum would not have been received or if it had been distorted or broken by interference, it might have caused further delay in opening the sta tion, he said. The only thing standing be tween the station and operation now is critical materials, - includ ing translaters, an antenna, and studio equipment. Delivery of these items has long been with held because defense orders have been given a higher priority and production has been delayed. The translaters are the integral part of WDFM which are still missing. They are needed to con vert the FM. signals to AM which is the most common band on to day's popularly priced radios. Studio Equipment Lacking The station has the antenna which was donated along with the transmitter, but Mackey feels it is not right for WDFM's pur pose and the cost of installation is too excessive. Plans have been made to purchase a suitable one for about $35. It will stand about 15-feet high on the roof of Sparks building. Studio equipment still needed includes parts for the control board, turntables, amplifiers, and other electronic gear. The test ,was held after special permission had been granted by t h , e Federal Communications Commission. Their telegram of approval sanctioned tests needed to make the station ready for final FCC inspection and even tual operation. Divisions Under Manager The operations of the station are directed by a 16-m ember board of directors, eight of whom are students. Louis H. Bell, direc tor of public information heads the board. Actual running of the station is in the hands of the gen eral manager, Mackey, - with de partments of engineering, station managing, and news. The greatest number of students are employed in the Department of the Station Manager under his program director. They include production directors, continuity writers, announcers, music direc tors, sports reporters, drama di rectors, and a traffic division. The pilot declared the Commu nists were trying to convince the North Korean people the war had not ended in order to seek "bet ter preparations" for the future. Reds Fear Jets • The flier confirmed what re turned. prisoners have - reported. He saw Russians flying in combat during the war. However, there were no Russians in' his own for mation. He said MIG pilots were - very much" afraid of Sabres and con sidered the U.S. jets superior to their own planes. He added that he had been in combat against Sabres but never had shot one down. The Red lieutenant said MIGs flown by Russians and Chinese were equipped with radar equip thent but that those used by North Koreans were not Special Traffic Offense Court May Be Formed Tribunal will be relieved of handling violations of the traffics code, if All-College Cabinet pass es a resolution to be presented at its regular meeting tomorrow night, according to Thomas Far rell, Tribunal chairman. The new plan, approved in a Tribunal policy meeting Monday night, calls for formation of a separate court, composed of sev en members and subject.to appeal to Tribunal, Farrell said. Two sophomores, four juniors, and one senior would serve on the court. Half would be frater nity men and half independents. The chairman would be a senior, selected from the independent members of Tribunal in the fall, and fr o m fraternity Tribunal members in the spring semester. Capt. Philip A. Mark of the Campus Patrol announced yes terday the traffic code will be strictly enforced starting today. The trial period is over, he said, and no leniency will be shown to future violators. • Mark also said the Campus Patrol. is fast running out of its 1200 student parking •s pace permits. He said only those stu dents who have to drive to the College for classes will be is sued permits in the future and he urged those students living on campus to leave cars at home. Members of the traffic court, except the chairman, would be appointed two weeks prior to the end of the spring semester for a one-year term. The All-College president would name the chair man on the recommendation of the Tribunal chairman. Tribunal chairman would designate the traffic . court head. Penalty recommendations clis cussed•by the second judicial re organization committee at the Student Encampment will also go before cabinet, Farrell said.
