Editorial on page four
The first broadcast of station
WDFM Sunday night, was termed
successful by David R. Mackey,
faculty manager. He pointed out,
however, that several technical'
details remain to be ironed out.
The station went on the air with
program tests and will continue
a daily broadcast schedule on that

basis until its license is approved
by the Federal Communications
Commission.
Approximately 5000 students
are now able to receive the broad
casts on FM sets. Eventually,
transponders which convert the
FM waves to the AM band will
be installed in dormitory units.
Mackey said yesterday that the
transponders are now on order,
and it is hoped that they will be
received in the near future.
There was some doubt as to
whether broadcasting would be
gin Sunday night, pending the ar
rival of a set of couplings from an
Erie firm. The couplings are nec
essary to connect the coaxial ca
ble with the antenna on the roof
of Sparks.
However, equipment arrived
late Saturday afternoon and was
installed Sunday morning by staff
engineers so broadcasting could
begin on schedule.
According to Mackey, the sta
tion had to be prepared to broad
cast Sunday because the construc
tion permit expired at that time.

schools.
In existence for two years, the
scuttle was established by the
Interfraternity Councils of the
two universities. It is to be award

On Latin Tour
President Milton S. Eisenhower’s discussion of his recent
goodwill mission to South America at the third Liberal Arts
lecture will be broadcast over Station WDFM at 8 tonight.
Dr. Eisenhower, who will speak in 121 Sparks, traveled
20,000 miles in South America during the summer as a special
ambassador of the United States.
His three-fold mission was to
express the conviction of this
country that sound economic,
military, political, and cultural re
lationships are necessary to the
common future of the U.S. and
Latin American countries; to ob
tain a perspective of those condi
tions which affect relationships
between the countries; and to con
sider what changes in U.S. poli
cies might contribute to the de
sired unity.
Dr. Eisenhower was accompan
ied by John M. Cabot, assistant
secretary of state: Andrew N. Ov
erby, assistant secretary of the
treasury; Samuel W. Anderson,
assistant secretary of commerce;
and W. Tapley Bennett Jr., dep
uty director of the Office of South
American Affairs, Department of
State.
Gone a Month
The mission left Washington on
June 23 and returned July 29. In
those 36 days it held friendly and
informative discussions with gov
ernment officials a. d industrial,
labor,' educational, and agricul
tural leaders of 10 republics in
South America.
Dr. Eisenhower was born in
Abilene, Kan. He received his B.S.
degree in industrial journalism
from Kansas State College in 1924
and did graduate study at the Uni
versity of Edinburgh, Scotland,
while he was U.S. Vice Consul at
Edinburgh from 1924-26.
He became assistant to the U.S.
secretary of agriculture .in 1926,
and then director of information
in the U.S. Department of Agri
culture. In 1942 he was appointed
by the President as director of
the War Relocation Authority and
then associate director of the Of
fice of War Information.
Well-known Educator
He was President of Kansas
State College from 1943" to 1950,
when he came to the University.
He has served on national educa
tion commissions, including the
Association of Land-Grant Col
leges and Universities of which
he was president in 1951-1952.
He was chairman of the U.S.
National Commission for UNESCO
for three years and was a mem
ber of the UNESCO executive
board in 1946.
This year he was appointed to
the President’s committee on gov
ernment organization. In 1952 he
was the recipient of the Horatio
Alger award. He has written arti
cles for several national maga
zines and is the editor of many
publications for the Department
of Agriculture.
and exuding confidence, has put
in a tough weekend since arriv
ing last Friday.
Churchill, too, although he has
taken a few minutes to ease his
bones in the bright midwinter
sunshine, has worked at what for
most men of his age would be a
killing pace.
French Premier Joseph Laniel
dropped out early with a lung in
fection, and his foreign minister
has been doing both top French
jobs. Only about two weeks ago
Bidault collapsed while address
ing the French national Assembly
in Paris. He quickly recovered.
An indication of success was the
close liaison between the British
and American atomic experts in
drafting the speech Eisenhower
will make to the UN General As

hearing Thursday before Guy G.
Mills, justice of the peace. The
evidence presented at .the hearing
sustained charges brought by Don

to fall and cut his head. This oc
curred when Ryan followed Whig
ham from a borough taproom after
Whigham had exposed a “wad of
money,” Benner said. Ryan fled
after Whigham fell, Benner said.
