THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA H ruby Describes Czech Life By CAROL KUNKLEMAN Most students familiar withl the college entrance tests and' fees required to attend a Uni-1 versity, but how many wouldt like having their family back ground or political reliability 1 1 . questioned in order to go to! college? According to Peter Hruby,l youth program editor of the; Czechoslovakian desk of Radio l ' l Free Europe, students applying [ for entrance into Czechoslovakian! universities are screened with! these very questions. "By 'politically reliable' is, meant that the student must bel able to be silent concerning crid ticism of the government," Hruby: said. His parents must be party workers of Communist back ground. Applicants whose par ents are teachers or doctors are not eligible, Hruby said. In Czechoslovakia, children at tend elementary school until they are 14 or 15 years old. The next level of education is the gymna sium, which corresponds to the last two years of our high school. College students are approxi-' mately the same age as their; American counterparts, Hruby, Bright idea with a glowing future TELEPHONE&ELECTRONICSW said, and they attend a university for four years. Hruhy was on campus yester day and the day before, inter viewing students in the College of Home Economics. He plans to use the taped interviews on his program. "My purpose is to show how young Americans live and study, to let a true picture of your culture," he said. He has also visited Columbia, Harvard and the University of Chicago. Czechoslovakians do not get a picture of "reality" through their radio stations, he said, because only the unpleasant side of Amer ica, such as executions, political fights and social problems are re ported to them.

The dial of our compact STARLITE* phone, for example, utilizes an entirely new source of light that marks a milestone in visual communications. Called PANELESCENTn (electroluminescent) it produces light without heat, has no bulb to turn on and off, and costs less than 1C a year for electricity. Pioneered and developed by the Lighting Products Division of our subsidiary, Sylvania, this dramatic new light opens up almost infinite product possi- bilities in sight communication, Already it is being used for clock faces, radio dials, auto instrument panels and road signs. And, through the development of an ingenious "cross-grid" design, electroluminescent panels are now capable of reproducing alpha-numeric "read outs" for electronic computers. This achievement, in fact, may one day lead to "flat wall" TV. It is another example of the way General Telephone & Electronics coordinates the scientific and engi neering leadership of many divisions in order to make communications progress on all fronts. ization which has been formed to erase this concept, lirtiby said. Programming includes news broadcasts as well as special pro grams on labor unions, farming methods and American customs, he said. Besides these programs, Pres ident John F. Kennedy's Peace Corps will help prove to Euro peans that "Americans can use their hands for hard work." Hruby said. Through the corps the American image will be greatly improved abroad, he said. Hruby, who began broadcast ing for Radio Free Europe while a student in Paris, said that to day many foreign students go to Prague for an "indoctrination program." PAGE FIVE
