ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY BROADCASTING STATIONS BULLETIN Office of the President Columbus, Ohio December, 1930 Many things are happening in the development of education hy radio, and the space of this bulletin v/ill be devoted to reporting the more important items that have come to our attention, ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE MEETS The National Advisory Council for Radio in Education made financially possible a meeting of a special committee including- Prof. Beaird, of WNAD, Prof. Griffith, of V/OI, Prof. Jensen, of WCAJ, Armstrong Perry, of the U. S. Office of Education, and your president, R, C. Higgy, of \VEAO. This group met in Chicago on December 10, and drafted recommendations to be included in a report to be sent to college presidents regarding the difficulties being experienced by college stations, and suggestions for overcoming these difficulties. 3'ore information will be given in a later bulletin when the report has been prepared. FEDERAL RADIO COIY.USSION GENERAL ORDER NO. 97 Many stations are having difficulty in meeting with the requirements of this Commission order which specifies a minimum of 75%o modulation. While such action may be justified, from an engineering standpoint, the time limit of January 31, 1931 is rather severe on college stations as appropriations to purchase equipment require time to secure. It is to be hoped that the Commission v/ill grant exten¬ sions of time to college stations showing the necessity for adequate time in order that they may maintain their power ratings and provide new equipment that will give better service. No definite rules v/ill be followed by the Commission in determining- 75% modulation, the final decision to be made by the opinion of the Commission*s engineers. Prof. Jensen, of WCAJ, and Prof. Griffith, of WOI, may be able to give information in regard to the procedure to follow in making equip¬ ment changes to comply with this order. THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION* S RIGHTS IN RADIO This committee was established by the Chicago conference of October 13, 1930, and called by U. S. Commissioner Cooper. It will meet on December 30 for the first time in Washington. Your president will represent our Association. The two motions passed by this Chicago conference are here given for your information. "The Conference on Radio and Education, meeting in Chicago, Monday, October 13, 1930, recommends that the Congress of the United States enact legislation which will permanently and exclusively assign to educational institutions and government educational agencies a minimum of fifteen (15) per cent of all radio broadcasting channels which are or may become available to the United States. The Conference believes that these channels should be so chosen as to provide satisfactory educational service to the general public.”
