Student AM Station: A student press fund, accumulated several j’ears ago through four senior class gifts, may be the solution to the main drawback of a new student AM radio station—money. AIJ-University Cabinet will hear a recom mendation tonight to seek reallocation of this $28,000 fund m order to finance a non-com mercial radio station. The cost of such a station has teen estimated at the most, $30,000. The press fund would be a logical source since it is unlikely that the Board ot Trustees would approve use of student fees or state appropriations for the station. To use the money for a broadcast station, a poll would have to be made of the contributing classes, and then, if a majority of those who reply say ‘'yes." the reallocation would be sub ject to the approval of the Board of Trustees. In 1948, when the fund was begun, the selling point was: “Save money for student publica tions!" At that time, apparently little thought was given to the enormous cost of setting up a printing plant and the problems its operation would involve. The press fund has been lying dormant since the first gift because the cost of a worthwhile press would be in the neighborhood of $109,000 to $150,000. Even if a press were established, problems would arise in maintenance and per sonnel, especially during the summer months and vacations. Moreover, it is doubtful whether a press would be able to print The Daily Col legian and LaVie, the publications of the great est cost and which would profit most in savings. In the future, a press may be feasible if the money is available and the problems can be solved.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA How to Finance It The class of 1951. though surrounded by cries for a student press, thought a radio station im portant enough to give $7OOO to start station WDFM. Now, since an AM frequency is known to be available, the University has the opportunity to apply for an AM license from the Federal Communications Commission. The advantages of this station would be numerous. It would serve as an immediate link among 13,000 students, it would generally stim ulate student interest in campus affairs by pub licizing activities and events and it would at tract more students who intend to make radio and television a career. By becoming a center of activity and an outlet for student talent, it would also strengthen the journalism, speech, drama and music curriculums. WDFM now is speaking into an almost "dead mike." Instead of students, its audience is made up chiefly of townspeople. Penn State is one of the few colleges and universities in the country without a strong student station. The question is: Would four classes, who visualized a printing plant for the University, reconsider the designation and would the Board of Trustees approve the change? In view of the situation, we feel sure that if the members of the classes of '4B, ’49, ’5O and ’52 had their choice between a student press and a student station today they would select the radio station. The Daily Collegian joins with the staff of WDFM in support of a reallocation that may, in time, place a “live” student station on all cam pus radio dials. Gazette _ Today ALPHA TAU ALPHA, 7:30 p.m..

Interpreting the News Ike's Neutral Zone Tied With Germany Associated Press News Analyst President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s reference yesterday to the possibility of a neutralized zone in Europe is tied direct ly to the question of German reunification, whether or not he intended it that way. At two points during his news conference the President was asked about different angles of proposals made during the current disarmament discussions; in London. j Discussing the limited Russian acceptance of the principle of his two-year-old “open skies” propos al, he said it was being consideredj jvery carefully, and that any agreement might lead to some thing better. , Regarding last yeaifs pro posal by Anthony Eden for a neutralized zone in Europe, he said test arrangements along such lines might also produce something and would be con sidered sympathetically. The President’s idea is that if agreements in limited areas can be enforced, then it will be pos-j sible to broaden the areas and; I end the arms race, Russia has already made the neutralization of Austria a peg for proposals to extend a neutra lized zone from the Adriatic to the Baltic. But Russia wants to include a Germany reunified by means which would give the Com munists a chance to take over the whole country. She also wants a troop with drawal arrangement which would remove British and American forces from the Con tinent, while Russian forces would remain in easy striking distance of Western centers. THURSDAY. MAY 9. 1957 'meet me at the chapel'?" By J. M. ROBERTS Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany, already embar rassed by Britain’s decision to re duce her forces in Germany while he is fighting for rearmament, will not be helped politically by the neutralization talk. Russia wants negotiated reuni fication which would produce a coalition of East Germany’s Com munist leaders with Western dem ocratic leaders, the type of coali tion which the Communists have always been able to take over in the long run. Many Germans just want re unification. on almost any terms. Adenauer's Socialist op ponents are against rearmament anyway, and that fits into Rus sian agitation for a neutralized Germany. In the long run, disarmament in Europe or anywhere else will de pend upon solution of the Ger man problem.. Tonight on WDFM <l.l MEGACYCLES 6:50 6:55 7:00 :5o .
