n-a-e-q nd/vs letter National Association of Educational Broadcasters Madison, Wisconsin — December 5, 1936 WASHINGTON CONFERENCE - DECEMBER 10-12 L The NAEB is one of the sponsoring agencies of the First National Conference on Educational Broadcasting- to be held in the capital city next week. An im¬ posing array of topics and speakers is listed on the program. President McCarty and Secretary Engel assisted in the formulation of plans for the sessions. Both will attend the conference and participate in sectional meetings. Mr. McCarty will speak on the problems of the station director. The sessions are planned in cooperation with the U.S. Office of Education and the F. C. C. Proceedings of the Conference will be published by the University of Chi¬ cago Press (5750 Ellis Ave., Chicago) and may be obtained on special advance subscription for $2.00. It is hoped that many members will be able to attend these sessions. Con¬ ference headquarters is the Mayflower Hotel, Washington. REBROADCAST NETWORK FOR EDUCATIONALS ? The possibility of exchanging programs between educational stations in the middle west is being discussed by W0I and WSUI engineers. According to Direc¬ tors Griffith and Menzer, the Iowa stations W0I and WSUI could form the hub of a direct rebroadcast network which might include KSAC, WHA, and WILL. These stations can be heard by the Iowa stations. The hook-up might be extended to other stations if tests showed it practical. The hook-up might be used only for special programs and at times when atmospheric conditions were favorable. Member stations interested in the possibilities of such a plan are asked to check on the reception of other educationals and the quality of the signals for rebroadcasting. DECEMBER EXCHANGE PACKET Still some member stations have not sent to the Secretary copies of bulle¬ tins, programs, forms, scripts, or other pieces for exchange purposes. If this service is to be continued every station must cooperate. The next packet will go out on December 15 — that gives you time to pack up your pieces now rind send them aldng. 1937 MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN Treasurer Brackett reminds us that it is time to look to our 1937 member¬ ships.
