A permanent plan for *alternating elected class and All-
University officers was unanimously approved by All-Uni
versity Elections Committee last night and will be recom
mended to Cabinet as an amendment to the Elections Code.

TV Rooms
In Sparks
Number 18
A new distribu ion system for
television facilitie, in Sparks was
installed during the summer,
bringing, the total of rooms with
receiving sets to 18. •
The seven rooms in use last se
mester had a seating capacity of
approximately 600, and the 11
rooms added to the circuit will
seat 350 persons.
At present all
,the rooms are
not used for television classes, but,
if the need would arise, nearly
1000 students could take a tele
vision course at the same time.
Third Type Tested
The new distribution system is
an expansion_ of the equipment
testing phase in the television ex
periment. The system is the third
type to be tested in the experi
ment.
James Raleigh. a -project engi
neer, -listed the following -advan
tages of the new system::
Standard Units Used
1. Standard television receivers
can be used,• instead of those
which have to be modified and
changed.
2. .Two programs can now be
sent at the same time. This would
be necessary if two television
courses were given at the same
hour.'
3.The picture and sound ar e
broadcast simultaneously instead
of separately, as in the old sys
tem. -
Twelve new receivers were ac
quired in order to equip the rooms
added to the circuit. They_ are 24-
inch sets and the newest type
available.
The new system gives a "very
satisfactory picture," Raleigh said.
