NAEB BUSINESS MEETING HELD AT COLUMBUS Representatives of nine member stations met in a "work session" on May 4, during the Annual Institute on Education by Radio, and discussed numerous questions which can most effectively be handled by such a group. Members represented were WOSU, WSUI, WHA, MAD, WCAL, KFKU, W1XAL, WILL, and WBAA. President H. B. McCarty presided and directed discussion on these pointer Definition of Objectives of Association? Members expressed the desire to maintain the objective of improving facilities controlled by institutions, and to en¬ courage wider radio activities in institutions having acess to private stations. Recording Equipment: The Associations transcription equipment has been circulating among members. It is available to any who wish to use it. The hope is to have this machine demonstrate what can be done, and to encourage stations to secure their own equipment. Several member stations already own their recorders. Difficulties of operation were discussed, and Mr. Menzer ex¬ plained the need for intelligent handling to get uniformly good results. Radio Dramatic Guild? The plan and proposal for a national organization of student radio dramatics activities devised by the University of Florida, and sub¬ mitted by Major Garland Powell was considered. Sponsorship by the NAEB was suggested. While representatives agreed upon the desirability of local radio dramatics groups, there was no general enthusiasm for a national linking because of the formal organization entailed. Several opposed it on the basis of a loss of control over the activities by the stations. Most had worked out local plans which are functioning satisfactorily and hesitated to disturb them. The majority opinion was that, as an organization, the Association should not foster such a national organization but that members wishing to have their players groups enter such a venture should be free to do so. It was believed that with such definite plans and details as Major Powell had ready, it would be possible to find a nucleus of groups to affiliate themselves in a larger body. 1957 Convention Plans: Three member stations invited the Association to hold its 1957 national convention with them. They were WESG, Cornell, represented by Mr. Chas. A. Taylor,* WBAA, Purdue, by Mr. Clarence Dammon; and WILL, Illinois, by Mr. Jos. F. Wright. It was decided to select a meeting place and a date by letter survey. The reply sheet is being sent to all members. The President will appoint a committee on arrangements. McCARTY ADDRESSES INSTITUTE spoke in behalf of the Association on It was a concise, vivid picture of the radio field. In analyzing the situation he dug to the roots of a sore-spot which socially minded people declare needs attention. A copy of the complete talk will be included with the June News-Letter. H. B.
