WXDT which is now WKDU-FM, com - menced operation with a full transmitter test at 1:30 a.m. last Saturday. The actual erec- tion of the transmitting tower and installation of the transmit- ter took place Thursday and Fri- day. Starting on the roof of Sarah Drexel Van Rensselaer Dorm, which is 138 feet above the ground, the WKDU engineering staff erected an 80 foot tower to a total height of about 220 feet above the ground. Transmitter tests have indicated that the sig- nal will have a maximum range of better than 15-20 miles. Good reception has been verified as by Charlie Pitts far as Media, Pa. and Burling- ton, New Jersey. WKDU has been striving to ob- tain an FM license since 1963 when the student administration of the station attempted to file an aiHJlication with the Federal Communications Commission for an open FM frequency. The ap- plication was rejected on the grounds of insufficient financial backing by the Drexel admin- istration. It took three more years for Drexel to commit the necessary funds, at which time the Board of Trustees authorized the filing of another FM applica- tion and the Student Activities Committee allocated a sum of money for the FM conversion. Unfortunately, by this time there were no available FM frequencies left, and WKDU was forced to find other means of obtaining a chan- nel. An arrangement was reach- ed with ^WPWT whereby WPWT would have use of the 91.7 MHz channel from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through F ri- day and WKDU would have use of the channel all other times. This shared channel arrangement is the first of its kind and studies of it. by the FCC and the Penn- sylvania Department of Education managed to delay approval of the application until February, 1971. With the transmitter now oper- ational, WKDU hopes to com- plete tests and modification of the studio soon and begin broad- casting early in September. WKDU will continue to cover Drexel sports, including home and away football, basketball and hockey, in addition to music. Also planned are public service pro- grams such as the “ Focus” series and expanded coverage of news of interest to the Drexel community, such as coming events, special announcements, news, and general happenings. WKDU now has the potential to reach almost the entire stu- dent body on a daily basis. More importiuit, the station now has a potential audience of nearly 2 million throughout the city and suburbs. Effective use of tliispo- tential will present to tJie public a dynamic view of the University just as WXPN at Penn and Wl^TI at Temple have done. This has been the worst year in the job market “ since 1949,” said Gerrald B. Fadden, Director of Graduate Placement. Mr. Fad- den should know, as every year his office places hundreds of grads in positions all over the country. “ We’re within striking dis- tance of last year,” commented Mr. Fadden. By September 1st last year, when the annual report was published, approximately 75 percent of the grads had return- ed questionnaires concerning their future. As the figures in the chart show, 68.7 percent of this year’s class have already re- turned their information sheets. “I say that by a comparable date” this year, he said, the figures will again be 75 percent. Mr. Fadden explained that he isn’t as concerned with figures and statistics as he is with in- dividuals. His schedule is clut- tered with appointments w ith grads for weeks in advance. Many companies, Fadden stated, “ couldn’t even justify the expense of sending someone out from the office.” According to F adden, the second business quarter profits looked good and he is hoping for an upswing in employment next year. *‘I don’t think it could get worse,” was how he summed up the year. The choice of jobs apparently is not there, nor is the broad selection that used to confront grads in previous years. Sal- aries, the director said, are “ holding their own.” The chart shows that of the grads who have returned their information sheets, 61.3 percent are now employed. This figure is valid as of July 19 and is constantly changing, as are all the statistics. Fulltime gradu- ate study has captured 15.8 per- cent of the grads, while mili- tary service has enticed 9.8 per- cent. There are 9.2 percent ac- tively seeking employment and 3.9 percent who are unavailable for employment at this time. By college. Engineering re- ports the highest percentage of reports returned (63.8 percent) and highest percentage of grads employed (63.6 percent). Science lists the largest percentage of students in grad school (36.4 percent). Bus Ad has the highest Larry Besnoff percentage of students going In- to military service (15.4 per- cent). The Home Ec college, with 30.2 percent seeking em- ployment, tops even that of Hum and Soch (22.2 percent). Science, with 7.8 percent, has the largest percentage of those who are un- available for employment.

C o u rt rules pa. state a id la w v o id A Federal Court here ruled yesterday in a 2-1 decision that the 1969 Pennsylvania law cut- ting off state aid to college stu- dents involved in campus tur- moil is unconstitutional. The suit was brought by Haverford College here and Goddard College in Plainfield, Vt., and 12 students attending the two colleges. U.S. District Judge Joseph S. Lord 3d wrote the opinion, con- curred in by Judge John Biggs Jr., of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. District Judge J. William Ditter Jr., dissented. “ Deprivation of aid under the statute might cause tragic un- derdevelopment of human talent by prohibiting financial assis- tance to young people who might otherwise be affoixled the op- portunity to higher education,” wrote Judge Lord. The law required colleges to report the names of disniptive students receiving state aid to the Pennsylvania Higher Educa- tion Assistance Agency, which was empowered to cut off the assistance. Haverford was the first of 11 colleges across the country which refused to sign such an agreement with the state. The court struck down the por- tion of the law which barred scho- larships ^nd loans to students convicted of misdemeanors in- volving moral turpitude, and stu- dents disiplined for violating col- lege rules during demon- strations. “ We must look with careful scrutiny at statutes which visit drastic consequences on the class of persons sought to be regula- ted,” Judge Lord said in his opimon. “A suspension or expulsion from school may well be or is in fact more severe sanction than a monetary fine or brief confinement Imposed in a cri- minal proceeding.” The law, he said, violated the scholarship or aid recipients’ right to protection under the 1st and 5th Amendments to the Constitution guaranteeing free speech and refusal of self in- crimination. The State Higher Education Assistance Agency will consider an appeal of the court ruling. State Senator Wilmont E. Fleming (R-Montgomery), agen - cy chairman, called a meeting for July 30 to consider an appeal to the Supreme Court. Fleming said 27 students, who have been arrested or expelled for campus disorders, have been reported to the agency by 2,044 colleges throughout the country who are participating in the pro- gram. Another 176 were denied schol- arships and 188 were denied loans because of the refusal of 26 colleges to sign agreements to report unruly students, he said. f r » i- i. I fix = :

Starting a new trend in sum m er social life, the IF Council’s Casino Night Mixer was held onWed., July 14. F o r those in attendance, the atmosphere was one of appreciation for a night well spent. Music was provided by Edgar Murray, who has recently acquired a new female lead singer. The consensus on the music was one of excitement. Selections were played from Carol King, Seatrain, Elton John and Credence Clearv^’a te r Revival. How­ever, due to the light participation by the IF Com­munity, the financial aspects of this fund-raising event a re dubious. G reat thanJts goes to John Gregory, Vince Vitolla, the g ir ls from Pan Hell, Dan Bingaman and Dan Malcolm.

Last Wednesday night, July 14. while the TRL-lNGLE was going to p ress and the Greeks were panying at Casino Nite, three M,A.P. students were assaulted at 34th and Spring Garden S treets .

At around 10:10 p.m., Felton Governor W illiams, E rnes t Hicks and Manuel Jackson, presently living at Kelly Hall, were standing at 34th and Spring Garden S treets. According to Jackson, rwo kids about the same age walked up to them and asked if they lived in the neighborhood and weren’t in any gangs.

One of the s trangers then picked up a bottle, and tried to hit Hicks with it. said Jackson. All three began to run and the kid threw the bot­tle at Hicks.

“ The cat had a big board ," related Jackson. “ He dropped the board ,” and pulled out a knife, Jackson stated, while W illiams ducked and was nipped in the back. He was treated at the Drexel Health Cen­te r and released.

Will they return to the same spot? Yes. “ We’re going to be cautious,” explained Jackson.

August 4th — Rally at JFK Plaza to com m em orate the banb- ings at H iroshima and Nagasaki

October 13th — National Mor­atorium Day

November 3rd — NATIONAL STUDENT STRIKE

November 6th — Massive r e ­gional ra ll ie s throughout U.S.

With applications up over 40^ from 1970, the Peace Corps is taking advantage of this happy trend and, departing from its usual Septem ber-June re c ru it ­ing schedule, will begin conduct­ing intensive drives on school campuses beginning this month.

“ With increased requests from 58 host countries, sen-ed by the Peace Corps, for academic skills and to fill w in ter/sp ring pro­gram s, we are now engaged in sum m er activities a t t h o s e schools with sum m er school en­ro llm en ts ,” said Jay Clark, Phil­adelphia Peace Corps re p re ­sentative and fo rm er Volunteer from S ie rra Leone.

Clark, who will be on the Drexel Campus, in the G reat Court, Tuesday, July 27, and Wednesday the 28, continued, “ this is our f irs t attempt at “ off season” recruiting. We are looking for 312 different s k i l l s - we know the people are o u t there — we simply have to ex­amine and d irec t our attention to ever>- m arket. Summer schools, we feel, rep resen t good re c ru it ­ing grounds.”

Since its beginning, 10 years ago, the agency*s volunteer ranks have been filled from the campus commumt>’. Recently, and as a resu lt of host country requests, Peace Corps has added skilled trades[)eople a n d m id -c a r e e r professionals to its recruiUng efforts. Still the college degreed Volunteer continues to form the backbone of the Peace Corps, according to Clark.

During the drive at Drexel, Peace Corps will be seeking Volunteers with degrees in A r­chitecture for Togo, Physical Education f o r Venezuela, Ag Journalism and Auditor for Bot­swana, AB G eneralists , with an in terest in mechanics, to work on well building in Chad — or to teach English as a second language in Korea.

India is in need of Ground Geology degrees — Swaziland wants Radiology Specialists — Afghanistan seeks a n u rse /m id - w i f e , along with Accountants,

Guidance Counselors, Chem is­try-, Math, Physics and Biology m ajors. These m ath/sc ience m a­jo rs are also' sought for p ro ­g ram s in F iji . The Dominican Republic needs BA degrees in Business Administration and ac­counting to w o r k with credit unions and coops.

Newman to move aug. ]by Larry Bensoff

There is iui “ excellent ch:ince” that the Newman C enter will move into its new facilities at the co rne r of 33rd and Chestnut Streets by August 1. F a th e r Joseph Sikora, the Catholic Student Religious Ad­visor said, “ We’re planning, hoping to get In.” O riginally the huiUi" Ing was to be ready by Septeml^er 15.

This will probably be the f i r s t tim e that a Drexel related building has goneupaheadofscheule . “ We w ere lucky...we beat every strike ” explained F a th e r Sikora. “ We hope to be going full blast in Septem ber,” he stated.

They have been renting the ir p resen t building located at 219 n 33rd S treet, from Drexel. The building was supposed to have been knocked down, said F a th e r Sikor, but Drexel managed to get an ex­tension from the Redevelopment Authority (RDA) for two to three y ea rs . No one seem s to know if anyone will move into the old fa. c ilities when Newman moves out. When asked about a local nmior F a th e r Sikora replied, “ it seem s as though the A fro-Am erican So­ciety, (AAS) is going to lease i t . ”

story by dave shifer

The people w ere saddened and b itte r . Another m urderer had lived long enough to laugh at the system, and prove once again, as it had been proven all too often, that violence was the way of the land.

“ We the people deeply re g re t the death sentence reversal of R ichard F . Speck, who was convicted of m urdering eight student n u rses in cold blood in Chicago in 1966. We feel that the Supreme Court of the United S tates has made a grave e r ro r in rev e rs in g h is sentence to die in the electric chair, and remanding his case to lower courts for fu r th e r proceedings. We believe it to be perfectly evident that it is im possible to r e ­open the case of a man who was convicted of killing the nu rses , one by one, without reason or motivation.*’

It would not have happened in 1966. But now it is five y e a rs la te r , and the flaming hatred and contempt has died away with the g ir ls . Reason lies buried in eight g raves, and no one cares to dig up the past.

morality & conscience

“ We rea lize that in defense of the reversal, you, the m em bers of the Suprem e Court, have cited the 1968 decision holding that persons op­posed to the death penalty could not be excluded automatically from ju r ie s in capital cases. How­ever, no technicality of law will e ra se the record of the h o rro r that was committed in the southside Chicago apartm ent building where the eight women were brutally sla in by a man who was apparently devoid of humanity. The m orality of Richard Speck's artions will not be changed by the judges of the Supreme Court, by any other man on this Earth, nor by tim e o r space. Morality and conscience may be the only fac to r higher than law which governs Man - - but Richard Speck was governed by neither m orality , conscience or law.”

national apathy

Perhaps the question would have been easie r to answer in another time period, when human

the s L t ? 'completed

a ' L Z " . *"'• b i t ra thera regression, actuated by various social Instabl-llUes and promoted by the human race’s eternal des ire to return to Mother’s womb.

‘‘The issue is not whether Richard Speck is guilty or innocent, for indeed, he has been fairly n e d and convicted of murder, but ra ther whether

a niere technicality may blind us from the horror o he reality. There are many people who seem to trea t law as a game - there must be winners and losers . It is your duty, s irs , to make certain that the winners are not the m urderers, so that there might be less lose r-v ic tim s.”

law of society

Was the law originally written for the victim? Or was it written for and by persecuted people who were soley interested in protecting the rights of the accused?

“ Finally, we maintain quite bluntly and honestly that the country has no need to keep a m ass mur­de re r alive. He is a menace to the health and wel­fare of the people. He has no regard for life o r law. He has taken from the people, and we refuse to feed him for the res t of his life while serving a life imprisonment sentence. If he is allowed to live, he will no doubt be paroled at some future date, and he will take from the people again. Society gives to the individual only if the individual gives to society; if the individual takes from society, society takes from him .”

Take. Take. Take.Take. Take. Take.He's got it. Take it.Hail Capitalism!

“ We, the member judges of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, have heard your plea and have come to a decision. We believe that another reversa l of the sentencing of Richard F. Speck, convicted m urderer of eight women, would not be in the national in terest, and would only serve to em barrass the Court as well as the nation. We further state that it would prove harmful to national security if foreign powers discovered these proceedings. Have faith in us. We are your leaders. Do not doubt us, and the national security will be maintained. We now act to classify this case “ top se c re t ,” and further public discussion of this case is prohibited.”

A technicality saved the day again. But in the final analysis, a ren 't we only fooling ourselves?

Suppose for a minute that all objects in your environment not produced directly by nature were removed, and all that was left were those things composed of naturally occurring m aterials, totally unprocessed. D i s m a l ? Let’s see — you’ll probably be standing in the middle of a field or forest, pretty much naked. Aside from your memory of what was there a minute ago, you would be faced with the problems of s u r v i v a l - f o o d c l o t h i n g , she lte r — and development, and very little else.

Compromise. . .That is man in his natural

state. Now suppose we were to effect a com prom ise between that situation and man’s present state: how much technology would we allow?

Food is generally most de­licious and nourishing in i t s natural state, so allow a garden o r farm area for growing food. Maybe a stick to break up the soil with, too.

Clothing depends on the area of the world. F o r our “ tem per­ate” climate (20 degrees to 90 degrees typically we would need furs or skins of some description. Is it any wonder early man grew up in more tropical zones?) Al­low the capture and killing of enough animals to provide cloth­ing. Weapons are needed, now, so maybe we'll le t you have a club and a knife of so rts .

Shelter. Not many people can

stick with a cave for too long, so allow the technology neces­sa ry to build a crude house — pueblo o r teepee or mud shack.

Energy. F ire is a s tart, but 120 A.C. is more convenient and useful. How to produce it? Unless somebody can suggest a simple l i g h t to electricity converter which can support a system, it looks like no TV tonite, kiddies.

Lifestyle!

What this leads up to is this — man is to exist in harmony with nature, he must shed the luxuries of modern “ civilized” life a n d accept a more modest existence. Perhaps furs and a mud shack and a fire a re too much of a change, but some change must come about, and it will most likely be pretty d rastic . We have de­veloped past the point of reason­able return, and our hope lies not in sm all actions to help the present situation (such as glass recycling) but in actually chang­ing the basis of our life style. We must go back to a more agrarian, sim plistic life; and by the way, there is a benefit other than sav­ing the earth — in reducing our consumption of unnecessary goods and serv ices , we will c lear more time for intellectual de­velopment, the fourth basic ne­cessity of man. For the only r e ­source we have not yet fully ex­ploited, the human mind, will be the most fully utilized in the future.

Both M iller and Lit s ta rted at their respective posi­tions two years ago and accord­ing to Coach Brown, “ are ex­trem ely mature and have already dem onstrated exception leader ­ship potential.”

Miller is a 5»10-l/2»' 185 1b. offensive halfback from Bishop Kenrick High School in N o rr is ­town, Pa. He already has picked up over 500 yards on the groundand is “ our most consistent ru sh ­e r ” commented Coach Brown.

Lit is a 6’1” 2351b. defensive lineman who is a native Phila­delphian and attended Valley Forge Military Academy. Ac­cording to the coaching staff, “ Paul definitely has P ro -p o ss i- b il itie s .”
