PAGE IVJELVE Prof's 'Monitor Show Aims at Basic Freedom Because he felt one of his 'basic freedoms" was being curtailed, a professor at the University produced a five minute spot radio program for Monitor, the National Broadcast ing Company's weekend radio program. Ted Richards, extension radio editor, whose hobby is to radio broadcasts, became annoyed recently when he felt one to listen to any radio station he pleases, was taken away by The program, which will be heard on Monitor sometime this weekend, shows how Russia and her satellites have restricted broadcasts of other nations from seeping behind the iron curtain by "jamming up" the transmit ting channels. Within 20 seconds after the transmitters of the Voice of America go on the air. Rich ards said, the Russian jammers go into action. These jamming transmitters broadcast right over the Voice of America pro grams, drowning them out com pletely with a shrill sound that can be compared to a sawmill operating in full blast. During the past two years, Russia and her satellites have erected thousands of these high powered short wave jammers to prevent anything but Soviet in `spired propaganda from reaching behind the iron curtain. The jam mers are so powerful that their signals cover the face of the world, Richards said. The program, which was made, to warn the people of America] of the serious threat to their rights, is strictly a one man oper-1 ation. Richards produced, direct ed, and tape recorded the pro-1 gram, and his voice is the only one heard during the proceedings.l The program opens with the sound of one of these jammers which Richards taped right off the air from his short wave re ceiver. Another off-the-air re cording lets the listeners hear a Voice of America station in California coming on the air. and then a few seconds later. the Russian jammers interrupt ' with their obliterating signal. There are so many of these Russian jammers in operation that Russian monitoring engi neers sometimes become confused at the location of the jammer. ,During the program Richards [ shows how these jammers iden- Itify themselves. Every 30 seconds, a morse code signal of one or two letters is broadcast over the jam ming signal. The jammer Rich ards taped from the air waves ,used the call letters AR. Radio Sofia, a Russian con , trolled system. relays the pro grams emitting from Radio j Moscow to North American countries. During one broad cast several months ago. the Moscow broadcast was acci dentally jammed by a Russian jamming station. To confuse the situation even ,more, Radio Sofia picked up the unintelligable mess from Moscow land retransmitted the program to North America with 100.000 watts lof power for two solid hours. wave right 56 to Compete In Spring Week Hatters Contest Fifty-six students have entered the Mad Hatter's Parade, accord ing to Judith 'Burns, parade com mittee chairman.

WSGA to Start investigation On Shorts Rule Women's Student Government Association Senate will begin fur ther investigation into the Ber muda shorts rule for women as stated in the WSGA. regulation booklet for this school year. Barbara Kinnier, WSGA junior senator, last night suggested that the ruling be extended to allow women to wear Bermuda shorts for dormitory lounge entertain ing. She said that there was a discrepancy in the ruling because women were allowed to wear Ber mudas in several places on cam pus as well "as in their rooms.

Com mittee members are Barbara Km nier, chairman, Mary Gemmill, Priscilla Doll, Mary Conrad, Suz anne Aiken, and Jo Fulton. - The ruling that is now in effect: was passed by WSGA Senate last year. It prohibits the wearing of Bermuda shorts or skirts above the knees for dormitory lounge entertaining, in dining halls, ad ministrative buildings, the golf • i course and in class rooms, unless the class is a laboratory or field trip and the instructor permits them to be worn. Prohibited in Terrace Boom Bermuda shorts and skirts are also prohibited in the Terrace Room and above the ground floor of the lietzel Union building. Women students, however, are permitted to wear Bermudas in the dormitory recreation rooms and in passing through the lob bies.

Peas-Belie Hotel, Bellefonte Panther May Be A black panther reported sighted by several Centre Coun ty residents and similar in appearance to the stone Nittany Lion crouched in the woods near Recreation Hall, may have migrated to this area from Ohio. Capt. Warren Askens of the Air Force gave the following explanation for the many panther stories circulated in the area for the past four years. A family of Mexican farm laborers came to Fostoria, Seneca County, Ohio, in 1948 to work in the sugar beet fields. They brought with them a pair of cougars which mated and bore a litter of three young. One of the young cougars was black or appeared so from a dis tance. In North America a pan ther is known as a cougar; in South America it is called aja guar; and in other lands such as Africa and India, a leopard is often called a panther. A puma and mountain lion are also some times called panthers, Cougars Turned Loose When the young cougars out grew their cubhood, the beet workers found the cats too much to handle and turned them lapse. Shortly afterward Seneca Coun ty residents reported sighting several panthers in woods and fields. An investigation by the county sheriff revealed the fact that the beetworkers had .re leased the cougars. Captain Aikens said his wife reported sighting one of the half grown cubs in the yard of her par ent's home in Tiffin, Ohio, in 1949. A trapper was hired by the county to capture or kill the cou gars in 1950. A search of two months failed to reveal any trace of the family of cats. Residents of the county no longer reported seeing the animals. Migrated to Pennsylvania Captain Aikens said he felt certain one or more of the cou gars migrated to the hills of cen tral Pennsylvania. Such a migra tion would be natural for a moun tain bred cat seeking his natural ' habitat, he said. Residents of Centre County reported seeing a black panther in the area for the first time in 1952. Several readers told of see ing the panther in articles pub lished in the Centre Daily Times. The' mystery remained un solved until Captain Aikens of fered his solution in an article appearing in the Centre Daily Times early this month. Cougars Not Dangerous Captain Aikens said he feels it is hardly possible for people to have mistaken a large black cat for the panther. The panther or cougar has a head which appears too small for its body and moves differently from the domestic cat. The cougars are not known to be dangerous to man, he said. In stanies have been recorded in which cougars have killed sheep but other instances have told of cougars sleeping near men camped outdoors.

Judges of the contest are Harold White, assistant professor of phys ical education; Donald Cook, 'Uni versity Placement Service; Ken neth Beate], assistant professor of art education; Marilyn Black, as sistant dean of women; and O. Edward Pollock, assistant dean of men. Proceeds of the Ugly Man con test taken in from penny votes will be put into three different funds. Formerly, all proceeds went to Campus Chest.
