Campus radio station WDFM this week is conducting a poll of 1500 students to serve as a guide for station program- ming. Members of the station are personally contacting students to determine their preference in type and time of programs. Charles Folkers, station business manager heading the poll, said it is part of an effort to set up the station in accordance with stu dent wishes. Samplings are being taken in each dormitory, sorority suite, fraternity, and several downtown living units. Letters will also be sent to members of the faculty and administration, heads of stu dent groups, and student leaders, requesting similar information. Included on the forms students are filling out, Folkers said, are questions about the listening hab its of the students at home and on WMAJ, State College radio station. The forms ask how many hours students listen to the radio and what hours are most popular. Students are also being asked what they would like to hear ,on WDFM in the way of music, dra ma, and special events such as news, sports, and lectures. The sampling is expected to be completed by noon tomorrow, Folkers said. Results, he said, will be available at the first of next week. Letters to .the heads of campus organizations and the College staff will ask them to present programs over the air, in addition to polling group or individual likes in programming. Folker hopes to obtain their participa tion in staging programs pertinent to their fields when the station begins operating. He said the letters should be answered by mail or in person. Station personnel will be avail able to see those people from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Fri day afternoons next week in 306 and 307 Sparks, he said. David R. Mackey, faculty gen eral manager of WDFM, said this is 'an "attempt to find preferences of the College family." This will enable the station to be prepared to begin broadcasts immediately once technical facilities have been completed, he said.

To condemn the Soviet Bloc, and the Soviet Union in particu lar, for their deliberate malicious fabrications, in violation of the principles of the charter, of ac cusations for the propaganda of hate, such as the false germ war fare charges." ' An American spokesman said the United States is standing on the record of denials and evidence that the alleged confessions were forced from the soldiers. He said he could not state at this time whether the Americans would like to have the Nationalist Chinese program introduced as a formal resoution. In their turn, the Russians have insisted the charges are true and have put up a resolution which would have the Assembly ask the United States to ratify the 1925 Geneva Convention against germ warfare.
