Likes To Garden
Gardening, as evidenced by her
varied indoor plant life, is Mrs.
Walker’s primary interest. While
visiting Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
three years ago, she selected a
small cocoanut palm tree, a poin
settia bush, an orange tree, and
other tropical plants for her liv
ing room garden. Today they are
still growing and blooming.
Mrs. Walker prefers reading to
watching television, and especial
ly likes T. S. Eliot and Emerson.
Interested in art, and representa
tional painting, Mrs. Walker mod
estly calls herself “an amateur.”
MRS. WALKER is “first a
homemaker."

University Searches
For AM Frequency
An AM frequency search is now being conducted to de
termine whether or not the University can take definite step*
toward establishing a student AM radio station.
Talk about the station was in the air last spring when
All-University Cabinet made an investigation and recom-
mended the action. ,
Since station WDFM was first
broadcast in 1953 on an FM band,
students living on campus have
been unable to receive It with
AM radios. WMAJ, the State Col
lege AM station, has been the
only strong station on campus ra
dio dials.
Engineers Conduct Search
The frequency search is being
conducted by consulting radio en
gineers in Washington, D.C. and
will take approximately three
months.
If a frequency is available on
which the station can operate, the
University can then officially sub
mit an application to the Federal
Communications requesting the
AM station.
President Eric A. Walker ex
plained at Student Encampment
that there is a slim possibility of
finding an available frequency.
Even if one is found, he said, the
field is so crowded that the FCC
may not allow the station to be
established since it would only
be part-time.
Station WDFM began Oct. 1 to

Temporarily, a larger WDFM
audience can now hear national
and campus news, music, person*
aity interviews, special events,
and religious programs produced
by students.
The proposed AM station would
be student operated from the stu
dios of WDFM. Futiher plans
cannot be made, however, until
the results of the frequency
search are available.
The appointment of an inves
tigating committee, composed of
WDFM representatives and mem
bers of the administration, was
recommended at Encampment to
explore the practicality of a
closed-circuit station on advanc
ing the present work on trans
ponders in the event that a fre
quency cannot be found.
