N-A-E-R NEWS LETTER National Association of Educational Broadcasters Madison, Wisconsin — September 22, 1937 CONVENTION REPORT ISSUE URBANA MEETING REFLECTS OPTIMISM FOR FUTURE The Annual convention of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters, held at the University of Illinois on September 13 and 14, indicated that members are more than ever convinced that their cause is right. Interpretations of recent developments lent encouragement to all in planning for future growth. Jos. F. Wright, Director of WILL, and his assistant, Frank Schooley, arranged programs of immediate interest to educational broadcasters. A need felt in past years was filled by providing two sessions dealing with the engineering aspects of radio. TREASURER BRACKETT COMPLETES LONG SERVICE B. B. Brackett of KUSD, for many years treasurer of the N-A-E-B, in a letter requested that he be relieved of that office for the coming year. Poor health and doctor’s orders for a rest have forced Mr. Brackett to reduce his activities. It was with regret that the Association accepted his resignation. As one of the founders of the organization, originally known as the Association of College and University Broadcasting Stations, Mr. Brackett has always been an earnest and tire¬ less worker for the cause of educational radio. The Association wishes him a speedy recovery to good health. DELEGATES VISIT W-I-L-L AND CAMPUS Members in attendance at the convention had the opportunity to see the Illinofe campus in a bus tour. Stops were made at the WTLL studios and at the transmitter site on the farms at the extreme southern end of the campus. Frank Schooley served as guide on the tour and in his best announcing style called off the points of interest as the bus jogged along. The WILL studios $re in a small building on the campus used entirely for radio. It is beneath the oid antenna towers. The second floor consists of a music studio, an announcers booth, and an operators booth. The first floor includes a reception room, central control room, and an adjacent studio. The new station house is very attractive and large enough to accommodate the more powerful transmitter now being sought. Over it rise the new 325 foot masts of the directional antenna system. NOW-A NEW SECRETARY-A NEW ADDRESS Frank Schooley, of V/ILL at the University of Illinois, Urbana, has been chosen to serve as executive secretaryJbr the coming year.' After this all notes for the news-letter, and all material for the exchange packet are to be sent to him. In this, the final news-letter by your former secretary, we want again to appeal to members for their cooperation in making these services possible. Unless everyone helps in the gathering of news and printed specimens the secretary can do little. Make it a habit to contribute regularly. 1937-38 is an opportunity year for educational broadcasters. Do we have our plans laid for making the most of it?
