West Halls Rad
Presents Marath
Local television and radio
stations are helping to dispel
winter gloom on campus by
sponsoring activities and con
tests for their audiences. For
instance, WHR radio in West
Halls is in the midst of its
fifth annual record-request
marathon.
The records for this year's
marathon started spinning Sun
day, and will continue until 11
p.m. this Saturday. No more
requests will be accepted after
that time.
A WHR listener participates
in the marathon by picking a
song from the list posted in
Waring Hall. For a dime, WHR
will play the song at a time
requested by the person. Last
year there were over 2500 rec
ords requested.
WHR's Chief Engineer Rich
ard Weller said that, judging
from the number of requests
early in the week, "this looks
like the best year 7et."
, Recognition is given by WHR
to residence hall houses in
West Halls that compete in the
marathon. The house submit

presented with a plaque.

is the giving of a plaque to the'
first house to request 96 songs.
The winner is Sycamore House
in Thompson Hall. Weller said
that at times the University
Administration may doubt the
value of WHR, but the he thinks
"from the marathon, they can
see that the students do appre
ciate the service."
Money raised during the
marathon will be given to West

University Pilot Builds
Sopwith Camel Replica
"Hey, watch out there, Red
Baron."
Snoopy's Sopwith Camel is
almost ready to fly again.
After more than three years
of work, a full-scale replica
of the World War I biplane
is complete except for its pro
peller.
The plane is

Richard L. Day, research pilot
for the University's department
of Meteorology. H'e estimates
that from 2,000 to 4,000 hours
went into building his repro
duction of the 28-foot wing
spread model used by the Ca
nadian Air Force ace, Roy
Brown.
Brown was the flight leader
credited with downing Ger
many's Baron Manfred von
Richthofen, prototype of
Snoopy's combat foe.
A native of Washington, Day
became hooked on flying as
a boy, flew solo at 16 and was
earning his living as a pilot
by the time he was 21. He's
flown for non-scheduled air
lines, done mapping, photo
graphing, instructing just
about everything but crop
dusting.
He had restored several
antique planes before he got
the urge to try and build one
from scratch.
"I didn't choose the Sop
with Camel because of its
association with the Peanuts'
strip," he emphasizes. "I liked
its appearance, and its color
ful wartime history appealed
to me. I also didn't realize
quite what I was getting in
to."
Day has built almost the en
tire plane himself, right down
to the metal hardware. The
Conference Jan. 17
A one-day conference examining the criminal in the
community and in correctional institutions will be held at

The conference, open to all interested persons, is spon

Law Enforcement and Corrections and by the North and
South Central Area Council of the Pennsylvania Associa

A panel discussion about the lawbreaker in the com

one part of the program. _ _
Another panel composed of personnel from Pennsyl
vania correctional institutions will discuss lawbreakers
and delinquents when confined in institutions.
The sessions will be held in the Conference Center on
the campus from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is a registra
