Students Sign
Radio Petition
For Classics
Forty-two students have signed
a petition addressed to David R.
Mackey, faculty manager of Sta
tion WDFM, requesting that mu
sic broadcast over the University
station be "heavily weighed" in
favor of classical and semi-classi
cal selections.
The petition has been posted
on the bulletin board in Old Main.
It states: "We, the undersigned,
believe that the programming of
music over the new University ra
dio station should be heavily
weighed in favor of classical and
semi-classical , selections instead
of disc jockey and popular music."
In commenting on the petition
Thursday, Mackey said since one
of the purposes of the radio sta
tion is training staff personnel, a
balanced program has to be main
tained. However, since part of
this training includes determin
ing what listeners desire, he add
ed, such proposals must be con
sidered.

Cabinet Hears Chest Summary
Approximately $B9OO was raised
in the annual Campus Chest
drive, it was revealed in a report
to All-College Cabinet Thursday
night. The drive ended Nov. 5.
Student contributions totaled
approximately $5900 and faculty
contributions $2lOO according to
the report submitted to cabinet
by Richard Gibbs, drive chair
man.
Fifty-five percent of the stu
dent body as compared to 51 per-.
cent of the faculty contributed to
the drive according to the report.
The goal of the drive was 100
per cent participation by students
and faculty.
Much progress has been made
in recent months in advertising
and' publicizing the benefits of
the Penn State Book Exchange,
according to a report made to
cabinet by Ronald Lench, BX
treasurer.
Advertising began with a pro
gram designed to orient fresh
men to the profit-sharing system
now in operation at the BX,
Lench said. This system allows
each customer who turns in $5
worth of sales slips to, get $1
worth of merchandise free.
Lench said approximately 100
students have taken advantage of
this plan so far this semester and
total sales are slightly more than
this time last year.
The Used Book Agency, a com-
Yule Spirit
Threatens
Tree Study
A forestry research project 15
years in the making was almost
destroyed in a few. minutes
Thursday night when 17 tre es
were destroyed at the Stone Val
ley Experimental Valley.
The persons who cut down the
trees to get limbs for Christmas
decorations would have destroy
ed a Forestry department re
search project, Maurice K. God
dard, head of the department,
yesterday reported.
The project was a short dis
tance from the trees that were
destroyed. Goddard said he was
relieved to find it had , not bee ,-
damaged.
The monetary value of the dc
stroyed trees was slight, God
dard said. Last year a series
research projects was ruined be
cause of cuttings, he said.
Goddard appealed to students
not to cut the trees because of
the time and work put into the
experiments. The purpose of the
project is to determine ideal
spacing for tree growth.
The trees—too large to use as
Christmas trees—were cut down
and stripped ,of their limbs.
On campus, limbs were cu t
from 12 trees recently, Goddard
said. Several trees in forestry
plots behind Patterson Hall have
been destroyed.
Capt. Philip A. Mark of the
Campus Patrol yesterday said a
borough resident has had 12 trees
in her yard destroyed in the past
few years by persons seeking
Christmas decorations.
"If people think enough about
Christmas to have a tree," Mark
said, "they should have the good
grace to buy and not steal one."
ponent of the Penn State Book
Exchange, has made great prog
ress in filling the text book needs
of the student body, Lench stat
ed in his report. He explained
that 5000 books were handled this
semester as compared to 3500 last
spring and 1700 the previous fall.
Approximately $9lOO was return
ed to students whose books were
sold, Lench reported.
The major problem of the ÜBA,
Lench said, is to get more stu
dents to bring their books to the
agency. Looking towards the fu
ture, Lench stated the Penn State
Book Exchange is looking for
ward to moving into the new
Student Union Building where it
will be better able to serve the
student body because of the cen
tral location and the additional
store space.
Several recommendations , f o r
next year's student encampment
were made by Edgar Fehnel, en-
