- 8 - (2) ’’Since the first general reallocation of wave channels by the Federal Radio Com¬ mission we of KUSD have been associated in time division with TfllL and commercial station KFi'IF. The relations of all three stations in this matter have been thorough¬ ly ideal. All the managers have been honest and ooen in their mutual dealings with one another; and each one has tried to be fair and considerate of the interests of the other two stations. From our own experiences we cannot see why there should be any friction of any kind between stations associated as our three stations are. ’’However, we know that there has been trouble and that differences hard to adjust hove arisen. I think the F. R. C. has been trying sincerely to find a way to minimize the difficulties that they have had to adjust for some of the time-sharing stations. ' letter written to the commercial station in o^r time-sharing group confirms this oninion. "In trying to work out some rules to cover these time-sharine- adjustments, as in many other things, the Commission either overlooks or does not understand the unusual con¬ ditions that surround the college or university stations. It probably does not realize how many broadcasts, important to us and to our listeners, are dated bv persona who have no connection with the station. These dates are often fixed not lone- in advance by persona who are in no way responsible to the station or the school owning the sta- tion wishing to broadcast the event; and in some oases the date has to be changed almost at the time when the broadc st was to begin. Think of a basketball game when the visiting team fails to make connections somewhere on its trip, or of a football team that is ordered into Quarantine the day before the game on account of an epidemic that has developed suddenly and unexpectedly. V«e had a football game postponed for about a month in what was practically that way last year. ”It seems probable to me that if the actual facts can be eresented to the F. R. C. some way will be arranged to cover such emergency cases that cannot ^e adjusted any considera.ble length of time in advance* it least, I think it worth trying. "As to forcing a station into an expensive hearing over time-division, when no violation of the rules or general orders is involved, that is criminal, whether it is covered by law or not. The station that will do this is too mean to be respected by honest people and the Commission should find some means to prevent it. Professor Jensen’s remedy seems to me a good one.” It is quite encouraging indeed to note the active interest being displayed bv many of our members in the past few weeks. Many important problems are now before your /ssociation. Give us one hour of your time each week for the next eiaht weeks and conditions will be better. Mrite us your reactions relative to the many pending problems. VOICE YOUR SENTIMENTS. THE ASSOCI/TION IS DESIGNED TO SERVE ITS * EMBER- SHIP AND NOT TO DICTATE POLICIES. MAY ME HEAR FROM YOU /T ONCE.
