Ligh s Out
Caused By
Consiruction
A combination of spring con
struction and old age caused cam
pus street lights to go off and
on with confusing irregularity
and the Old Main chimes to go
completely haywire during the
past five days.
Robert H. James, supervisor of
utilities, said last night that con
tractors digging for new build
ings have cut power lines. The
lines are buried only a few in
ches below the surface of the
ground.
A small gear proved to be th 6
toot of all evil for the chimes.
The gear, which is part of a small
motor actuating the chimes, was
stripped and: as a result the
chimes were chiming at all sorts
of hours. An official in the De
partment of Physical Plant said
the clock's mechanism is pretty
old and this probably accounted
for the stripped gear.
James said contractors have
been issued copies of plans show
ing where the lines are, "but
when you start digging, well ."
According to James, lights
could go out at any time and at
any Place. It is conceivable that
a student studying for finals next
week may find himself in the
dark literally, if not figuratively.
The trouble with the lights be
gan last Friday night when they
first went out. Students were sur
prised to find them on all day
Saturday arid Sunday. They were
finally - extinguished Monday and
then failed to come on as sched
uled Monday night.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON, we understand, is behind
students' unwillingness to change their paths—stubbornness, they
call it. Some have even asserted themselves by knocking out
sections of fence put up to keep persons off construction areas.

STATE COLLEGE. PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 21. 1958
Richard Schilpp, former station
manager of WDFM, said he "was
not aware of any definite, dead
line," when questioned last night
on Carmichael's statement.
Speaking at the fin al Senior
Class Advisory board meeting,
Carmichael explained that two
other groups are applying for fre
quencies conflicting with the 1400
band WDFM ,might utilize if it
converts to AM broadcasting.
Two stations are applying for
1390 and another for 1330 fre
quency.
Conflicting applications—if they
remain—would delay action by
the Federal Communications
CoMmission to such an extent
that, even if licensed, it will be
"three to four years until a sta
tion goes on the'air," Carmichael
predicted.
Carmichael said he doubts whe
ther the FCC would grant a li
cense to an AM campus
_station
when the pressure for new fre
quencies is so great. He said four
or five applications usually are
received for every available fre
quency. According to Carmichael,
if a campus station were to broad
cast only a few hours a day, the
FCC would probably rather grant
the frequency to a commercial
station,which would be on the air
most of the day.
Questioned as to this statement,
Schilpp said ,the FCC has seen
fit to give other universities AM
stations. Licensing "depends on
who's on the FCC board and
what influences are brought to
bear," said Schilpp.
Carmichael - said commercial
station groups generally exert
pressure against licensing of edu
cational AM stations.
Harold E. Nelson, WDFM fac
ulty adviser, said "pretty close to
100 AM, college stations have
been licensed by the FCC." Ex

FOR A BETTER FENN STATE
Cities
Scott,
PHILADELPHIA (W)— The Democratic
organization ticket headed by Mayor David
Lawrence of Pittsburgh rolled up command
ing leads last night in the Pennsylvania pri
mary election.
Philadelphia alone gave Lawrence a lead
of more than 100,000.
Lawrence claimed victory
shortly after midnight and his
principal opponent, Lt. Gov. Roy
Furman, conceded little more
than an hour later.
The whole organization ticket
headed by Lawrence and Gov.
George M. Leader, seeking nomi
nation to the U.S. Senate, had
margins that apparently would
reach at least a quarter of a mil
lion votes.
With 45 per cent of the state's
pr a cincts reported. Lawrence
held a lead of 234.000 votes
over Furman. And at this point
only one-tenth of his Allegheny
County stronghold was in.
There his margin was running
5 to 1.
Lawrence, four times mayor of
the Steel City and the state's
"Mr. Democrat," was unquestion
ably the big vote puller.
A 'lesser number of precincts
gave 77,552 to 29,731 for Clarence
Bowers of Reading in the race for
the party's U.S. Senate nomina
tion.
Significantly only a minor
fraction of Allegheny County
had reported. It was here that
Lawrence expected to ad d
greatly_ to his lead. Lawrence's
margin in 10 of the 1208 pre
cincts reporting in the county
was- 1353 to 301 for Furman.
The Philadelphia count in 1340
of 1566 was Lawrence 114,426 to
11,131 for Furman.
Philadelphia voters elected
Democrat Robert Nix to Con
gress, succeeding Judge Earl
Chudoff, another Democrat.
Nix, a Negro, defeated Repub
lican Cecil B. Moore in the race
to fill Chudoff's unexpired
term.
He also won the Democratic
nomination for a full term. Nix
becomes the first Negro congress
man from Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA'(/')--Arthur T. McG on

over Harold E. Stassen in their battle for the

McGonigle, 51, pretzel manu
facturer from Reading who was
backed by the GOP state organi
zation in his first try for politi
cal office, had 155,671 votes com
pared to 61,594 for Stassen with
2037 precincts of the state's 8887
reported. Livengood had only 15,-
654.
The McGonigle lead measured
up to 94,077, and included a
plurality of 62,872 compiled in
Philadelphia where 1.130 of the
city's 1,566 precincts reported.
In Philadelphia, where the GOD
organization flatly rejected Stas,
ten's bid for support, the vote
was 81,907 for McGonigle, 19,033
for Stassen, 4762 for Livengood.
In the GOP contest for the U.S.
Senate seat, organization-slated
Hugh Scott was far ahead of Wel
don Heyburn, the Stassen candi
date, with only 727 precincts re
ported.
Scott, a Philadelphia congress
man for 18 years, had 70,156
votes against 14,619. These fig
ures included none from Phila
delphia, where the organiza
tion turned in strongly for the
McGonigle-Scott ticket.
Outside of Philadelphia, where
Stassen in early returns had been
rrunning neck-and-neck with Mc-
Gonigle, the Reading businessman
started creeping ahead.
Only in a scattered handful
of western counties was Stassen,
three times unsuccessful in his
quest for the Republican presi
dential nomination, ahead. And
in those areas Armstrong,
Centre, Perry and Crawford—
the margin was slim.
Everywhere else McGonigle ran
ahead.
Livengood, never in the race
from the time the first precinct
reported, admitted defeat in a
telephoned statement to The As
sociated Press a half hour before
midnight.
"It would appear that the or
ganization has been victorious,"
j said Livengood. He referred to
McGonigle.
