- 8 - "For the first time in the history of the station, WNAD is sponsoring under the auspices of the Norman Chamber of Commerce, a series of farm group programs. Of course this feature is greatly expanded by agricultural stations, but coming from the state university for the first time, it is proving of great interest to our radio audience. "We have some very novel developments in our International Relations group program which we sponsor regularly over the station. These programs of course are under the supervision of the International Relations group of the University of Oklahoma. We shall be very happy to give details to a program director over the country as to the manner in which we have stimulated more interest in this work this season. "Another very popular introduction this year is the Survey of English Litera¬ ture course presented regularly over the station coming under the immediate super¬ vision of our Department of English of the College of Arts and Sciences. We shall be happy to supply details relative to this course to any interested group. "For the first time we have introduced the WNAD Radio Book Club this season. The plans we use are similar to those perfected by Griffin and his staff at Ames, and WOI has been quite helpful to us in introducing this feature to our radio audience. To say the least, it will cause state-wide interest in book review, book reading, etc. 'We have presented this season regular feature programs under the auspices of the Oklahoma Educational Association and the State Department of Education of Okla¬ homa. These programs have been presented in panel discussions as well as regularly rehearsed skits. This feature is a great help to the station as it gives us addi¬ tional leads among our co-workers in the state in developing other fields of work. "The most novel introduction that we have ever made in our work is a regular weekly feature entitled 1 1nside stuff This is under the immediate supervision of the School of Journalism and the State Association of Newspaper lien. Every week an outstanding newspaper editor or an individual quite prominent in the field of journalism, is brought to the University campus by the School of Journalism, and a formal 45-minute address is presented to all the journalism students in joint assembly. Immediately following this person is interviewed by some outstanding personality of WNAD. We have a stack of very complimentary comments from the press of this state relative to this feature. You can see that it gives the University some valuable contacts among a group of business and professional men who are in a position to mold a great deal of public sentiment. #
