Morrow was named champion Guernsey fitter and reserve champion Guernsey showman to qualify as the grand champion fitter. Graham Wins Award ingenuity- (Continued from page one) in the West Dorm area, would pick up the FM signals from the transmitter. change them to AM, and then send the converted AM signals over the West Dorm power lines, where AM radio sets in the area could pick up the station over the power lines. The first step was building the transponder. Scott and Richard son, with some technical assist ance from a graduate student named John Thomas, set to work early in the fall, designing and building - 'the transponder them selves. They had no model to re fer to, since the thing they were attempting had never been done before. Finally, by mid-January the transponder was ready. It was set up in the boiler room of Hamil ton, just below the post office. Experimentation began. West Dorm Gets Station The transponder worked smooth ly, and AM sets in the West Dorm area were actually picking up the station. But Scott and Richardson soon learned that station airlanes are more crowded than even Gra ham's store. WDFM was being crowded out and receiving inter ference from more powerful sta tions no matter what cycle fre quency was used. The result was loud humming and whistling in AM reception. Weeks of further experimentation followed before Scott and Rich ardson stumbled onto 640 cycles as the best frequency for the con verted AM signals. The reason was other stations on 640 cycles did not seem powerful enough to crowd out WDFM.. Sure enough, the two students found that as long as the trans ponder in the West Dorm area sent out converted AM signals on 640 cycles frequency, there was comparatively little inter ference. Interference Creeps In Scbtt and Richardson were con gratulating themselves and think ing at last their spare time could be used for something else, when bad news came. The transponder wasn't remaining on 640 cycles. Temperature changes in the boiler room were forcing changes in the cycles. Interference was creeping in again. The new problem was this— how to keep the transponder steadily on 640 cycles, in the face of both temperature changes and sudden shocks. It seemed unsur mountable.

Miss Graham was also the champion Holstein showman. Walter Winster, fifth semester dairy husbandry major, was the reserve grand champion fitter. Winster was also the champion Holstein fitter and the reserve champion Holstein showman. , Clarence Dryan, fourth semester animal husbandry major, was the only double breed winner of the day. He received both the Cham pion fitter and Champion show man awards in the Brown Swiss breed: Albert Celecki, fourth semester animal husbandry major, was the reserve Champion showman and Earl Berger, second semester ' dairy husbandry major, the re serve champion fitter in the Brown Swiss division. Jersey Division Champ The champion showman title in the Jersey division went to John Harris, sixth semester agriculture education major, and the cham pion fitter award to• Julius Klein, second semester hotel administra tion major.

The champion showman in the Ayrshire breed was Robert Eno, second semester dairy husbandry major, and the champion fitter ribbon went to George L. Hart man, fourth semester dairy hus bandry major. Scott and Richardson went, back to weeks of "monkeying around" as Scott put it. The final result was a type of crystal unit, so complicated that the layman could not hope( to describe it. Scott and Richardson hoped to use this crystal unit to hold the transponder's converted AM sig nals steadily on 640 cycles.At first success seemed unlikely. The crys tal unit itself was hard to control. But then, to their great joy, Scott and Richardson, could see the unit would be able to keep the tran sponder steady on 640 cycles.

LLEGIA - M STATE COUME PEMSYtVANIA Tkr-TiAity C Amendments Approved By Nittany By TED SERRILL Three amendments to the Con stitution of Nittany Council have been approved by a two-thirds vote of Nittany Dormitory stu dents. Results of a vote on the amendments were announced last night. A new system of electing Nit tany Council officers was provid ed for by one amendment. The amendment provides for the elec tion of council officers within one week of the beginning of spring final examinations. Officers shall be chosen by plurality .vote to serve one year or until their suc cessors are chosen and shall as sume office at the last regular council meeting. The amendment also states that the first council meeting of the fall semester shall be held with in one week of elections of dormi tory officers. Voting members of council shall be composed of its president, vice president, secre tary, treasurer, and presidents of the dormitories. All Nittany area' students shall be eligible to run for council offices. This amendment supersedes the system of electing council offi cers at the second meeting of the fall term. Under the old system, council officers also held the pres identship of their dormitories, and students were not able to run for council offices. The other two amendments pro vided for the formation of a rec reation committee and a social committee. The recreation com.z. mittee, which• takes the place of the Barons, a former social or ganization, shall work for the im provement and expansion of rec reational facilities and activities throughout the Nittany area, the amendment states.
