They will be avail able during the regular health center hours, 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 4 p.m. Although the epidemic may he several weeks away, these shots do not have any preventive ef fect for two weeks, Glenn said. For this reason, immediate innoc ulation is stressed, he said. The illnesses of this year seem to be of a more prolonged nature than those of the epidemic in 1957. This would further compli cate crowded hospital conditions normally present during an epi demic, he said.

Already, 15,322 high school students have sought application blanks to the University, an in-1 crease of 38 per cent over the' 11,094 figure of a year ago.

"All these young men and wom en are qualified students. They could all profit from an invest ment in higher education. Failure Ito provide them with opportuni ties for a collegiate education represents a failure to develop our most valuable resource— "brainpower," Walker said. Dean of Admissions Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter said "letters of in tent" have been mailed to 2649 of the 7400 early applicants. Most of this group are in the first fifth of their high school class.

Last year at this time, only 2368 such letters had been issued. - Bernreuter said no admission will be final until March 1.

Originally, the Univer sity was assigned channel 48 on ultra high frequency, hut it cannot be used because of the terrain and the cost of converting receivers. Channel 3, when in operation. would enable the University to exchange programs with Pitts burgh's educational channel, WQED. It would be a beginning step (toward the state system which was turned down by the state (legislature. But operating Chan nel 3 is still just an idea with many problems to surmount be !fore it becomes a reality, Carpal- Iter said. FCC regulations do no; permit establishing a channel within 170 (miles of a channel on the same ;frequency. This would mean the University would have to set up its broadcasting tower near Clear field and four micro-wave relays would have to be installed in or der to reach the campus. The cost of setting up these relays is prohibitive, Carpenter said. However. if the University can get a 20-mile reduction in the necessary space between its tower and other stations, the broadcasting tower can be put on Rattlesnake Mountain near Black Moshannon State Park. If the petition passes the FCC, a building would still have to he converted for broadcasting, the plan would have to pass the !Board of Trustees and the money Ito carry out the project would (have to be found In the immediate future, the 'University plans to begin tele casting courses to the Altoona .campus, but whether this would !be feasible for other campuses :has not been determined.
