- 6 - RADIO *S CHALLENGE Recent statements bv two men with widely different interests in radio make an interesting stud^. Their backgrounds and points of view are very unlike. David Sarnoff, President R. C. A: n I regard radio as a force comparable to steam or electricity, and not merely as an instrument or enter¬ tainment business. New services are being created in the laboratory. Its greatness lies ahead, and. not behind.” (American Magazine, May 1936) Professor Arthur Lloyd James, Consultant in Speech, British Broadcasting Corporation: •’America is a large country and has room for many radio systems. You may possibly find time in the near future to develop alongside the present system a non-commercial svstem devoted exclusively to culture and education.” (Broadcasting, April 1, 1936) FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS KWSC, Washington State College, Pullman, Washington The F. C. C. on April 3, 1936, granted KWSC an increase in power to 5000 watts, daytime hours. WHA, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin The commission on March 27, 1936, granted WHA‘ S application for 5000 watts power, d.aytime • WHA, a work project providing for the addition in Radio Hall of five offices and one studio was approved in Washington on March 19, 1936. Money for the materials wa,s provided through the state Emergency Board. WHITHER BOUND? ’’The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” So spoke Disraeli! Taking it to ourselves, our own stations, our own situations—are we sure exactly what our purposes are? How can we progress without having certain goals definitely set? To attain our ends a sequence of steps usually is necessary, and this should be planned, carefully. Perhaps that ’’next step” is a power increase, more help, a new studio, additional equipment, additional hours, or something else which you see a definite need for. Whatever the steps toward your goal may be, work in that direction. Where will your station be two years from now? Will you be able to look back to 1936 as a year in which, under your leadership, definite progress was made or will it be a year of marking time? You can guide the pen in writing the answer! FAVOR MADISON FOR 1936 CONVENTION In response to invitations to hold the 1936 convention of the N.A.E.B. at the University of Wisconsin, Professor K. L. Ewbank, chairman of the WHA advisory committee, has received replies from ten member stations favoring accepting the invitation. Those reporting were KFDY, KFJM, KOAC, XUSD, KWSC, WESG, WCAL, WHAZ, WILL, WSUI. No other meeting place has been proposed. The matter will be discussed, and perhaps a definite decision made at the N.A.E.B. meeting at Columbus on May 4. If you have any further recommendations, pass them along.
