The Federal Communications
Commission has authorized several
commercial stations to experiment
with broadcasting with four channels, but not five.
Schneider started wiring In December, but had done almost
year's research before.
The multiplexer is mounted on
seven chassis. It contains mote
than CO tubes, 77 filter capaciter.i.
and over 300 feet of wire. T1t
longest wire Is not over 12 inches.
This week Schneider Is making
the preliminary test. Next wek
will come the final test when all
seven chassis will be hooked up t )
a transmitter.

By ALLEN SOUTIIALL

Commercial radio stations are
always trying to get In more news,
music, weather reports, time
checks, and commercials.
Despite their best efforts, listeners still call the stations about one
or the other.
John Schneider, jrraduate student In electrical engineering, has
possibly solved their problems
with a "five channel single sideband multiplexer of frequency
modulation."
In other words, five separate
programs can be broadcast at the
Fame time by one station.
"This way," said Schneider, "'five
times as much intelligence can be
broadcast with the same number
of stations."
Each of the five channel" would
be separate and only one channel
could be received by the average
set.
Schneider, who also daes research work at the VS. Public
Health Service Hospital, said that
from all indications this would be
the first time five channel multiplexing has been done.

These things, plus a lot of others,

It has been quite a year, but what
will prr.bably be remembered moct
Is "We want a holiday!"
No matter how diligently official

how it Is skimmed over In future

The students listened

About 7 p.m. a swelling roar

When the smoke cleared, It was

Speculation Is still rampant as
to who Is enrolled in what col!cio,

The next preregistration was

all the great expectations are within grasping distance now.

Are Our Media Too Mass?
Tlie Alumni Seminar's topic "Communications 19C0 Seeking a Balance
Between Freedom and Responsibility" touches upon one of the vital
subjects in today's world.
Tlie growing complexity of every
phase of modern life requires a more
extensive and intelligent analysis of
this life by the mass media.
But are the mass media doing
an effective job?
This question in turn poses another question.
Does the public allow the mass
media to do a more effective job?
The problem of whether a medium
shall be free and more responsible lies
mainly with the publics which support it. If these publics do not demand
a responsible free press, then one will
not be provided.
Why doesn't society always demand this responsibility? Because
people do not demand the truth or
do not want to know the truth. Many
prefer to live in their isolated orbits
of existence not wanting to think for

fear this thought might disturb their
mediocre existence.
Why don't the media provide a
responsible dissemination of truth
even though the public does not demand it?
Communications is a business, and
like all other businesses, it wants to
make money. They cannot do this
by printing or broadcasting what the
public does not want to read or hear.
A few areas of the media have
and are printing the truth and provide outstanding examples of responsibility. But these media are few
and are read only by a select public
one curious and intelligent enough
to demand the truth.
Thus there is a vicious circle-pub- lic
demand equal mass media production and vice versa.
Until the American public or the
mass media can realize that only
through a demand for free and responsible mass media will they attain them.
Until then mediocrity shall continue to breed mediocrity.

An Editor's Opinion
Why Criticize?
By BILL NEIKIRK
Kernel Editor

There has developed amongst
campus publications a tradition that
the editor sit down, wait for some
sort of divine revelation, and write
a farewell editorial to the school
which summarizes his feelings about
it.
More times than not, the edi-

torial is more diabolical than divine
and usually spumes over with such
sentimental and maudlin drivel that
it is repugnant to any mature person.
It normally is suitable to be buried
in the nearest dunghill.

Finals For Seniors
Because of a University Faculty
ruling passed earlier this year, Monday's graduating class will be probably the last in UK history which
escaped final examinations. Next
year, Commencement will be held
nine days after finals are finished, and
seniors will be required to participate in "dead week."
Now there is a considerable
amount of good sense in the Faculty
ruling because many professors pour
the meat of their courses into the
final week or so of classes and then
summarize it on the final. A senior
misses much of this under the present
system.
But there are, of course, misgivings. We believe much of the glory
(And, after all, aren't graduation
ceremonies merely pompous?) of
Commencement will be dulled bedelay.

Many of the faculty members will

not be processed faster after final
exams, degrees given quick approval, and Commencement held at
the end of final week. Perhaps an
earlier deadline for senior grades
could be set up to speed the process.
As it is now, most seniors have
to take finals, anyway. Professors
usually have not given enough tests
to give an accurate grade by the final
two weeks of school, and seniors are
made to take exams on the material
taught up to that time.
The result? Seniors get four or
five final examinations thrown at them
within the space of two days. It is
obvious that "dead week" far surpasses this sort of treatment.
So we are in favor of seniors
taking final examinations along with
the rest of UK. However, we do believe that the administration and faculty should consider holding Commencement a little closer to the end
of the semester.
Or, perhaps we could follow the
practice of some universities and mail
diplomas if Commencement loses its
meaning.

Before the year began, I told
myself I would never resort to glori-

Kernel in a final article simply as a
parting gesture of peace on earth,
good will toward men. I see no reason to apologize to those criticized
during the course of the year.
