SPECIAL BULLETIN Release Date December 17, 1931 TO MEMBERS of THE ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY BROADCASTING STATIONS (and a special request mailing list in addition to members) Some weeks ago your attention was called to the radio course in music appreciation sponsored by Station WLB under the auspices of the General Extension Division of the University of Minnesota. A number of communications have been received relative to this announcement and for those program directors and managers who have not as yet asked for this bulletin I would advise that you get in touch with the University of Minnesota at an early date. FROM MR. H. B. SUMMERS, PROFESSOR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING, KANSAS STATE COLLEGE OF AGRI¬ CULTURE AND APPLIED SCIENCE, MANHATTAN, KANSASs "With the cooperation of the radio staff of the College Broadcasting station here at Manhattan, we are planning to offer next semester a course in Radio Speaking and Announcing. As a part of the work, we want to give our students as wide a background as possible of information concerning policies and types of programs in typical stations throughout the country. With that end in mind, I am taking the liberty of requesting as much information as possible, along the lines suggested below: First - Tvpes of program you use - as much in detail as possible with approximate percentage of total time given to each. Second -Any information available as to preferences of your listen¬ ers for different tvpes of programs enumerated. Third - Your station’s policy with respect to topics and material for radio discussions - what subjects are barred, etc. Fourth -Your station’s policy as to censorship of material for broadcast - whether advance manuscripts are required, etc. Fifth - The extent to which you present programs of an educational nature, and specific types of programs of this type most used. "I should likewise appreciate information on these additional points, unless you do not care to make such information public. First, as to the ownership of your station second, how it is financed; third, any newspaper tie-up; fourth, rates charged for advertising program; and finally, size and assignments of your studio staff. y 'In addition, I should like to have copies of programs of typical broadcasting days; any available printed material concerning your station and its broadcasting policies; and finally, to be placed on your mailing list for material of this type issued in the future. W I shall be very appreciative of any other suggestions you may care to offer concern¬ ing material for use in our projected course. Do you know of any work of this kind done in other schools, and can vou suggest any published material that would be use¬ ful to us?" No doubt many of the program directors have already supplied Mr. Summers with the information he has requested. Those of you who have not assisted in his work shoud send him material at the earliest opportunity. I am today sending him copies of all bulletins we have released from this office and in this he can find many helpful sug¬ gestions that will assist him in his work.
