Donovan, com mittee chairman, said recently. Donovan said' that the commit tee has held its initial - meeting to review the constitution generally. He _ added that the, group would meet again to finish its study before going over the document with representatives of the maga zine. -- The constitution was submitted by the editors'of Froth, the humor magazine- which lost its charter Oct. 23. .

R. - Carpenter,- direc tor of the Division of Instruction al Services, said last night. THE UNIVERSITY will serve as the link between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. An application for an ETV station using Channel 69 (Ultra High Frequency). is al most completed and will be sub mitted by the University to the Federal Communications Com mission within the next few weeks, Carpenter said.' In .Pennsylvania, the Depart ment of_ . Public Instruction au, thorized a formal request to the FCC recently for the reservation of five additional ETV channels for the Commonwealth. There are presently four state ETV stations —two in Pittsburgh and two in Philadelphia. • Two of the five - requested chan nels in the state are* in central Pennsylvania. They are Altoona and Clearfield. / EVENTUALLY the stations in these two towns will be apart of a three-station ETV network in the state, of which the Univeisity would be the core, Carpenter said. These additional ETV, stations, as they are established throughout the state, will not necessarily be linked to the inter-state chain. The transmitter for .the Uni versity's ETV station will prob ably be located at. the summit of the Tussey Ridge- mountain just beyond Pine Grove Mills, Car penter said. Because most of the people in this region do not have UHF re ceivers and could not get educa tional programming from the Uni versity on their TV sets, coopera tion will be sought from local cable companies. LESLIE P. GREENHILL. associ ate director - of the division of Instructional Services, said yes terday that- signals from ETV broadcasts can be picked up by transformers and relayed into cable systems, enabling viewers to receive programs on VHF re ceivers. Letters have already been sent to many of the cable companies in the local area and favorable replies have been received from many. DO YOU KNOW ..?
