WESTERN STATE ACTIVITIES According to a report from Walter G. Marburger, chairman of the committee on Radio Education at Western State Teachers College, the institution concluded its season on May 27 and will continue in the fall over WKZO, Kalamazoo, Michigan. In his letter he says:- "Durmg the year we have put on 64 broadcasts using 112 students, 40 faculty members and 8 others not connected with our college. In addition to these about 25 others have assisted in writing manuscripts, coaching, etc. Four of these broadcasts were entirely from sound recordings and two others were in part recordings. We have used a recording of our school song to introduce and close our programs. We hope to acquire better recordmg equipment by fall.” KFDY DENIED SPECIAL BROADCAST REQUEST A report from the F.C.C. Broadcast Division dated June 1, includes this item: KFDY So. Dak. college Denied special temp. Auth. to operate Brookings, S. Dak. from 8 to 9:50 PM, CST* May 24 and 51, in order to broadcast special concert by State College Military Band, and from 5 to 4:50 PM, CST, June 7, in order to broadcast program commemorating the 25th anniversary of Agrl. Extension work in So. Dak. Action taken 5/22. When a request for afternoon time for a broadcast of that character is denied how can some of the programs on the air be justified? DOES IT MAKE US VULNERABLE? Under the present radio set-up educational stations are obliged to play the game according to rules not designed primarily to fit their needs. Neverthe¬ less we must conform to the practises in force - or be subject to such criticism or prejudice as may follow. In the past it has been the custom for some educational stations to be off the air during the summer. Some still recess with their institutions. F.C.C. reports dated June 1 list six such authorizations. In some cases the commercial stations with which hese educational stations share time take over the extra hours, thus strongtuning their claims to full-time operating rights. The problem within the institutions is a very real one. Limted budgets sometimes make it impossible to carry on during the vacation period. The sign- off is in most cases not because of choice. Be that as it may, every effort should be made to use to good advantage the maximum facilities granted by the F.C.C. Only in this way can .an adequate defense be arranged in case of an attack, or additional facilities be secured. (Special attention is called to the talk by NAEB President H. B. McCarty which is attached to this news-letter. It is a pertinent reply to the question "Why the Educational Station?")
