' College Station Aids Military By BEV DICKINSON In a recent program, W3YA, the College amateur radio station, acting as a member of the Mili tary Affiliate Radio System un der the name A3YA, took part in a military operation called “To bacco Leaf III,” an emergency situation set up by the Second Army. For 24 hours, the College sta tion acted as one of the numerous radio stations in seven eastern states in a system which in emer gency would take over all com munication. The program was set up in order to practice for a pos sible emergency situation where amateur radio stations would op erate in a real war in the States. In the operation, the general Second Army acted as an enemy planning to cross the Susque hanna River. W3YA communi cated to various army stations and other amateur stations the movements of the enemy. The station sent and received mes sages for 24 hours on a special frequency set up for use only by MARS stations during that time. The “enemy” employed elec tronic jamming to intercept mes sages the MARS stations were di rected to send and receive at given times.

As an emergency exercise, it proved to be so successful that a similar operation is being planned on a national scale to take place at the end of No vember. The College amateur station has been connected with the military forces for over 25 years. Last year it was appointed as the state net control station for Pennsylvania military district with responsibil ity of net supervision of all Penn sylvania MARS nets. In May 1952, the station acted as host to the state MARS stations. The military history of the,sta tion began in 1924, when it be came a member of .the Army Ama teur Radio System Net Control. In 1934 under the call WLMA the station was under the direction of the chief signal officer in Wash ington, D.C., and served on 24 hours call. In 1949, AARS dis banded, and MARS was estab lished under combined Army and Air Force control. Three years after the station was organized in 1909, a sleet storm took down all wire com munications over a.-large area of Pennsylvania. Student operators were called upon to assist in dis patching trains by radio through a link set up between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. To express their I TOE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA The Department of Romance languages has introduced a new program to give students an op portunity to get additional prac tice in developing correct habits in speaking French and Spanish. Simon Uelasco, assistant profes sor of romance languages and chairman of the program, an nounced that the program adds one hour a week for three weeks, and is entirely voluntary. The experiment involves nine groups of French 1 and 2, and nine groups of Spanish 1 and 2 over a period of nine weeks. Dur ing this period, three French groups and three Spanish groups will receive practice for three week periods. The first period began Oct. 26 and will end with a test Monday. The test is unsigned and will in no ! way affect the grade of the student in Regular scheduled lan guage classes. The program emphasizes inton ation, rhythm, accent and sylla bication, air of which tend to pro duce good -pronunciation in. lan guages, Belasco explained. Many more students volun teered than were anticipated, he said. As a result the number of students per class will ‘be in creased from 12 to 25 when the second session begins. Belasco stated that if the program proves successful, it may be integrated next semester into the regular French and Spanish 1 . and 2 courses. Prexy Speaks At Association President Milton'S.

In 1934, the station was as signed the call WLMO, for offi cial Army contact with the Ad miral Byrd Expedition to “Little America.” Official Army traffic was handled through this station in addition to many personal mes sages. During the flood of 1936, in Ohio and Pennsylvania, the sta tion took over Army net control operation upon instructions from the chief signal officer in Wash ington. For a period of six days all official Army, Navy, National Guard and Red Cross traffic was handled by. the College station. Early in 1947 the station was requested to serve as official con tact between the United fjtates and the “Kon Tiki” scientific ex pedition. Official government and Norwegian embassy traffic was handled through the College sta tion under the Army call ALMA. Communication was maintained at 3 a.m. every day for a period of approximately five months..

Simes, said yesterday. As a result, Simes said, a letter has been sent to all fraternity presidents and social chairmen clarifying the unchaperoned dat ing code. s According to the letter, signed by Simes and O. Edward Pollock, assistant to the dean of men in charge of fraternity affairs, the code applies to “incidental dat ing” only. Incidental dating is de fined in the letter as a situation in which a few of the members of a fraternity bring dates to the fraternity house for general so cializing. “The unchaperoned dating code does not apply,” the letter con tinues, “in cases where the chap ter. is organizing, providing for, or sponsoring social affairs or on occasions when more than a few members and dates assemble in the house,” “For example, the unchaper oned dating code does not apply to orchestra or record dances; pledge parties, exchange dinners with other. groups, “regular Fri day or Saturday night parties.” theme parties, functions, on house party weekends, or for similar af fairs.” The letter also drew attention to the fact that there is a great deal of misunderstanding con cerning College regulations gov erning registration of social func tions. The letter cited the Senate Regulations for Undergraduate Students for 1953-1954, which state that all social functions or ganized and conducted by student organizations must be registered with the Dean of Men and Dean of'Women at least one week be fore the event is held. The names of chaperones must' also-' be sub mitted for approval at the same time. The regulations hold the presi dent of each organization spon soring a social function responsi ble for taking proper steps to se cure observance of these and oth er regulations governing student social functions. The lettej also reminded frat ernities that the senate j regula tions prohibit the entertainment of first and second semester freshman women in fraternities except when a function is regis tered and properly chaperoned. Chest to List Designations Total amounts of the money to be given each organization in cluded in the Campus Chest drive will be tabulated and announced within the next week, Richard Gibbs, chairman, said yesterday. The money is distributed to the 11 groups included in the drive by the designation of contribu tors. Undesigriated contributions will be distributed on a percent age basis. A total of $6BBB has been re ceived from the drive. Students contributed $5500 and faculty $l3BB. > > ' Myron E n e 1 o w, solicitations chairman, said these are not the final figures as solocitors have not turned in all money collected.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1953 Walker Unable To Set Name Change Date Judge, Ivan Walker, of the Court of Common Pleas of Centre County, said yesterday that: he had not yet received the petition for the College title change from the State Council of Education and could set ho definite time for his action on the request. He had reported earlier that he hoped a prompt return of the pa pers from Harrisburg would en able him to act by the middle of the week. His approval would change-the name to The Pennsyl vania State University. The petition may arrive today, he said, but if it does not, it will be delayed until Thursday by the Armistice Day mail holiday. He reassuringly stated, however, that he would take final action at the “earliest possible date.” Judge Walker’s approval be came the final step Friday when the Council passed the petition. It had been formally presented to Common Pleas court on Oct. 26 by the College’s ' attorney, Roy Wilkinson Jr., and Walker for warded it to the council. The petition grew out of action by the College Board of Trustees who felt that the College had reached a stage in its develop ment where such a change of name would more clearly foster the work of the institution. It was felt that the College had long been a university in terms of size, academic standards and program, organization, and func tion. Normal recognition of that fact would properly identify it for all persons interested in or af fected by its services. Bus Council Elects Young President Gerald Young, seventh semester accounting major, was elected president of the Business Council last night.
