may still contact the club at 202 Engineering
Unit E behind Sackett Building or by calling
865-7231, club treasurer Bruce McKee said.
To use the service, McKee said students
should call and leave the name, complete
address, and phone number of the person to
receive the message. The message will be
sent as close as possible to its location by
shortwave radio and completed by telephone.
A reply will be taken if desired.
"We can get messages delivered by radio
the same day in the states," club president
Steve Fine said. "Although it can take a day
or two to get it delivered by phone."
The Christmas season is one of the more
popular times to send messages by shortwave
radio, but the free service is offered year
round, Fine said.
"We sent 600 messages last Valentine's
Day," Fine said. "And in the past two days
we've received about 100 requests." He said
this is the tenth year the club has been
offering this service.
The Radio Club has about 40 members, Fine
said, and membership is open to anyone
interested in shortwave radio. Club meetings

Along with contacting other stations, club
members learn how to operate the radio using
generators for power. Amateur radio clubs
throughout the country participate in this

OTIS plans apartment fee survey
In an effort to better explain apart
ment fees to student renters, the
Organization for Town Independent
Students is looking to the apartment
owners and managers for some an
swers.
OTIS is developing a fee survey
that will be sent to area apartment
owners and managers. The survey
should be sent before Christmas, said
OTIS advisor Charlene Harrison.
The fee survey is a relatively new
idea which was considered during
Fall Term, Harrison said. The idea
was a combined effort between OTIS
and Harrison.
OTIS is gathering information
Penn State 'Boo
Owned and Operated by The Pennsyl
about different apartment fees to
help both landlords and tenants, Har
rison said. The survey covers a num
ber of areas, including pet fees,
parking fees, application fees, lost
key and lock replacement fees. Ques
tions on the survey ask the amount of
the fees, how prevalent the fees are,
and how frequent they are. The main
focus of the survey is on cleaning
fees.
For example, Mark Heavey, chair
man of the OTIS consumer commit
tee, said many students do not know if
they are required to clean their apart
ments before moving out. Instead,
they may assume the cleaning fee
