Bill Gnaedinger, Director of the .\udio-Visual Center at the State College of Washington, has taken up duties as a Fulbright lecturer at the University of Oslo — in Norway, of course.

Paul Wagner, President of the Film Council of America, gave an exciting audio-visual demonstration of "why you should use modern tools of communication" at the October 4th luncheon meeting of the .Adult Education Council of Greater Chicago. The meeting launched Chicago's Second Adult Education Week. The latter part of September Dr. Wagner discussed plans for the American Film Assembly and Golden Reel Film Festival (New York City, April 4-8, 1955) at the monthly luncheon meeting of the New York Film Council. Newly-elected president of the Chicago Film Council is Theodore F. Lindgren, audio-visual director of the American Osteopathic Association. Other officers are Helaine Levin (American Dental .Association), Harlow Stevens (Encyclopaedia Britannica Films), and "Joni" Johnston (British Information Services). HOW FARES ETV: Not so well in L.A., where the educational television station has gone out of operation, according to newspaper reports, because it lost its wealthy sponsor. This sounds like a good argument for a community-supported station, like the first such in Pittsburgh or the one aborning in Chicago. WQED is in excellent shape, reports Norma Barts of FC.A, just back from a film programming assignment at the Pittsburgh educational TV station. As for Chicago, new Executive Director of WTTW (Window to the World), Dr. John W. Taylor reports the station will start some experimental telecasts next spring and expects to be on the air regularly in the fall of 1955. Dr. Taylor was formerly president of the University of Louisville, Kentucky, where he won fame for a highly successful adult education venture in "Neighborhood Colleges." Most recently he was witii Unesco in Paris. Wayne University's Educational Television Department has begun rehearsals for a proposed ten-week series on tlie Tarahumara Indians, aboriginal natives of Chihuahua, Mexico. Jack Spoehr, graduate student and ethno-botanist from Harvard University, will be narrator for the series. Wayne University expects to air the program over a Detroit network TV station. The Wayne TV Department has been in operation since 1949. Last year it presented seven series over various TV outlets in Detroit. The first of 1955 the Department will be greatly expanded and will be operating from its own TV studios on campus. Wayne's facilities will make up one of three TV studios forming Educational Television Channel 56. Film producer Avalon Daggett is on a three-month tour of the United States (Eastern Section) to visit audiovisual departments and to give public lectures with her three lecture films, Arizona Adventure, Mississippi Magic, and Louisiana Gayride. . . .
