Purdue University S TAT ION W B A A LAFAYETTE. INDIANA July 30, 1968 Mr. Ken Clark Project Director Radio Programs for the Disadvantaged National Educational Radio 1346 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 Dear Mr. Clark: "We are very interested in the 19 6 8 Urban Broadcasting Work¬ shop to be held at American University. We would like to have more information on the Workshop through this newslet- ter in the hope that we can plan and sponsor such a work- / shop next summer at -Purdue/ _ . _/ WBAA's contribution to programming for the disadvantaged is in the planning stage at present. We are working on the programming ideas with the Purdue University advisor to black students and the chairman of the local Human Relations Council. These people have told us they are.exhausted by discussion of- the problems of being a Negro in Lafayette or elsewhere. They have "asked that we present programs that will give solutions to the problems. However, we can¬ not, in whatever programming we present, limit our defini¬ tion of "disadvantaged” to mean "Negro." Lafayette has a small Negro community but a much larger group of very poor people* For this reason we are interested in program ideas with a broader base. Specific problems that seek solutions include home owner¬ ship, buying on credit and the training of what are presently the unemployable. We are also interested in putting city officials on the air with the opportunity for anyone to. call in questions, problems and comments. We are planning future meetings with members of the Human Relations Council to begin work on some of these programsiaeas, and hope¬ fully, many others. Sincerely, Jane Root THE VOICE OF PUB9UE JR/cc
