- 5 * '’Personally, I believe that the presentation of radio plays offers one of the finest methods that a university station can use for teaching by radio. w We have two professors in the College of Agriculture who are presenting quite regular¬ ly a lesson in agronomy, which they "broadcast in dialogue form. One appears as Profes¬ sor Ed. and the other as Farmer Herb. I am inclosing a sample”. Mr* Harold G. Ingham, Chairman of the Radio Program Committee, Station KFKU, University of Kansas, Lawrence, recently sent to this office several announcements relative to their future programs. Among these were samples of information on a series of discus¬ sions on compulsory unemployment insurance, etc. Vie were quite interested in noting the printed announcement of rules and regulations supplied to members of the University Faculty and students who assisted in providing programs for KFKU. I am listing below the announcement which sets out in detail regulations governing their broadcast. "To Members of the University Faculty and Students in Music and Other Departments Who Are Assisting in Providing Programs for KFKU* "We are very grateful to all of you who are assisting in providing the radio programs this year. The broadcasting is regarded by the University as a very important work and your part in it is a distinctly worthy service,greatly appreciated. ”The experience of the N.B.C. and other broadcasting organizations has shown that radio listeners as a rule are impatient of long numbers, either addresses or music, and are very insistent that programs shall begin and proceed according to advertised schedule. "Because of these considerations and some others which may be apparent, the station is compelled to ask its contributors to observe certain procedures, as follows: 1. Program contributors should be at the station at least ten minutes before the advertised hour for broadcasting* Strict observance of this request will save the announcer many anxious moments. 2. Faculty members responsible for musical programs should furnish the names of those appearing on each program at least one week in advance * , and the numbers to be presented at least two days in advance. 3. Every address offered must be written in full and read into the micro¬ phone, not rapidly, and with clear enunciation. The address should be timed to occupy approximately 10 minutes--12 minutes should be the limit. •'. Similarly, no musical number should exceed 12 minutes in length. 4. Copies of each address should be in the hands of the program director at least one week before the date of performance. Advance publicity will be sent out to the press unless the author especially requests that it be withheld. 5. Care should be exercised not to use in any talk a quotation including profanity or questionable language of any kind; also to avoid con¬ troversial subjects such as partisan politics, religion, prohibition, etc. 6. It is necessary to make sure that no advertising or publicity propa¬ ganda is included in any talk. ”We are sure that our contributors will appreciate the necessity oF observing these simple regulations and we wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your cooper¬ ation.”
