Kipling, Bimi , a dramatization "The dramatic program of the Department of Speech is, of course, experimental, We are frankly trying to discover the best vehicle for broadcasting purposes. At the same time we are concerned with giving best from the various types of dramatic litera¬ ture to the listeners of WSUI. To that end plays from various periods of the drama, as well as representative authors have been selected. "Speaking only for myself, I am convinced that plays with a strong plot broadcast more easily, or more successfully from the point of view of the average listener, than do those which attempt to discuss the ills of society. The talkative play, as is the case with all full length plays, must be cut to an hour or less. This means that the story can be made to stand out in bold relief, often time making the broadcast version as strong, if not stronger, than the usual production. "It is probably true that the precise form of the radio drama has not been discovered. If this is true, it means that in time all broadcasting stations will write, or use, plays written especially for broadcast purposes." FROM PROFESSOR J. C. JENSEN, DIRECTOR AND ENGINEER, RADIO STATION WCAJ, NEBRASKA V S'SLEYAT T UNIVERSITY, LINCOLN: "Congratulations on your special bulletin for November 5 , I am passing it on to our Expression Department and hope that they will get a number of suggestions from it. "In reply to the request of Mr. C. M. Koon it seems to me that the Office of Education at Washington could do some constructive work by bringing more generally to the atten¬ tion of teachers in the public schools the various educational broadcasts which are available by radio, and also by cooperating with the broadcasting stations themselves in working out a schedule and outline of courses which would be desirable for school purposes. "Our continuity Collegiate Fantasia* is beginning to attract considerable attention. This fdea may be worth passing on as it has become a regular feature with our station. The continuity parts are carried by the negro janitor, his little girl ’Sugar,’ a green freshman, a sophisticated sophomore coed, and a junior who is president of the Dramatic Society at ’Midwest University’ where all the scenes are laid. These char¬ acters provide the introduction and also introduce elements of romance and local color, while the dramatic club gives rehearsals which the audience hears, and the glee club and quartet sing. As you see the purpose is to hold the interest of the radio audi¬ ence. "Our new 500 watt transmitter is covering the territory beautifully and we were heard on a recent Monday evening in Monterey, Mexico. "The Commission has returned our application for increase in power on the ground that it conflicts with general order Nn. 102. The Commission granted an increase of 20,000 watts to another Lincoln station recently, and maintained that this did not affect the quota of the state or z one. "Are you selling any advertising time this year? One of the newspapers carries a story from the University of Arkansas to the effect that they have taken on a number of commercial accounts recently. We are tempted to do likewise as a financial ex¬ pedient.”
