NPA-E-B NEWS LE.TTEP National Association of Eduoational Broadcasters Madison, Wisconsin — March 21, 1936 NAEB MEETINGS AT OHIO INSTITUTE The annual meeting of the Institute for Education by Radio will be held at Col¬ umbus, May 4, 5 and 6. On Monday evening there will be a closed meeting of the NAEB members who are in attendance* Among the topics to be discussed are the for¬ mulation of a more definite policy and statement of objectives, convention plans, facilities, the Federal Radio Education Committee, transcriptions, and other problems which concern those present* The general session on Monday afternoon will be arranged by the N.A.E.B., and President McCarty will preside* All members who can get away for the Columbus Institute meetings are urged t© be there. Each year this affords an excellent opportunity to keep abreast ef de¬ velopments in the techniques of educational broadcasting. Practical problems in script writing and production will come in for considerable attention this year, according to advance information* Will you be there? 1936 MEMBERSHIP DUES COMIN G IN Treasurer B.B. Brackett reports that memberships for the current year have been received from the following stations: WESG, WEv j, WCAC, KOAC, WILL, KFJM, KFDY, WBAA, KWSC, WHAZ, W r SAJ, WSUI, WOI, WTAW, WCAL, WHA, KUSD, WHAD, And KFKU. If your station isn't listed, check up on the matter now* Some directors have complained that their institutions are unable, under regulations, to pay for their memberships. Others, under similar restrictions, have managed to handle it. The answer seoms to be "Where there's a will, there's a way." NAEB TRANSCRIPTION LIBRARY Our goal of a recording machine for the use of members in transcribing out¬ standing educational features is within short reach of realization* Carl Menzer, WSUI, is heading up a committee to make final tests, financial ar¬ rangements, and plans. It is expected that within a month the project can be com¬ pleted and service started. Now, wise use of a recorder and the building of an exchange transcription library mil require careful planning. So far, there has been little response to the invitation in the February News Letter calling for suggestions. What are your thoughts on tho matter? Depend upon it, recording quality will be excellent. None of this tubby, scratchy stuff we've had in the past from instantaneous recorders. A machine such as we hope to acquire has been in use at WTIA for several weeks, with gratifying re¬ sults. Transcriptions for broadcast are being made and used regularly. Programs which have been recorded and broadcast include talks, dramatizations, and a 14 min¬ ute record of the University Concert Band of 80 pieces. Planning a Transcription Exchange will be one of the subjects for consideration at the Columbus meeting of NAEB members. Meanwhile, let's have your ideas for de¬ velopment of this promising service.
