CULVER, KFMX TO raffiSRS of NORTHFIELD, MlN^ THE ASSOCIATION OF COLLHCtS AND UNIVERSITY' BROADCASTING STATIONS (and a special request mailing list) Many interesting letters have recently been received at this office. In this bulletin several, which I believe will prove of interest to our members, are quoted. If you have any suggestions regarding the problems discussed, please write to this office, and they will be included in future releases to Association members. FROM MR. W. L., IiADDHRLY, ?ROGRAl''l DIRECTOR, STATION KOAC, OREGON STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, CORVALLIS, OREGON: *’I have your special bulletin of February 24, contain¬ ing the suggestion that each member of the Association prepare a statement on the Seven Points listed by Professor Jensen. Furthermore, that the statement be filed with Federal Radio Commission and our representatives in Congress. ■'On June 15, 1927, Vire were assigned to a frequency of 1110 kilocycles with unlimited time. In a general reassignment of frequencies on November 11, 1928, we were given unlimited time on 560 kilocycles and this later ^ras voluntarily changed to 550 kilo¬ cycles which''Was better for our purposes. "As I said in a previous letter, we now hold an unlimited license on 550 kilocycles "Under these circumstances it seems to me that we are not justified in complaining of the treatment that we have received at the hands of the Federal Radio Commission. I am referring, of course, to our oim station. "Of course we feel that we should not be required to operate 12 hours a day to hold our unlimited license and that rule 151 of the new regulations of the Federal Radio Commission should exclude from its provisions stations like ours (this is a new rule to take the place of general order 105). In other words, ¥/e feel very keenly that our present unlimited license should be available to the state of Oregon for developments in the future and that it is unreasonable to require us to broad¬ cast 12 hours a day in order to hold that license. However, this is quite aside from the purposes behind Professor Jensen’s suggestions. Our stateirant on those points would indicate that in the matter of assignment, time and power we have received fair treatment. "Perhaps you have read the article by Director Maris of this institution on ’Is a R. dio Budget Justified?’ Copy of Education b'.’' Radio, Volume II, No. 4 T^hich carries this article is enclosed." 'ANOTHER LETTER FRQEvf FIR. KiADDIP--LY REL'..DS AS FOLLOWS: ’’Thank you very much for the 3opies of the radio plays 'rji Ohio Enoch Arden’ and ’The Underground Railroad’ supplied through you by WSuJi). "Through the National Collegiate Players at this institution we have made some progress in the last few weeks in presenting radio plays and we certainly would like to be put on the mailing list to receive additional manuscripts of this sort that
