Office of Executive Secretary- University of Illinois Urbana, Illinois June 1, 1938 HOW ABOUT A SELF -APPRAISEMENT ? Dare I, your humble servant, suggest that perhaps NAEB members should give more ser¬ ious consideration to the general practice of repeatedly asking the FCC for special favors, especially when they request permission to operate on less than minimum schedule? In a recent FCC release it was noticed that four educational stations were asking for permission to remain silent or reduce number of required hours of opera¬ tion. We believe members should be jealous of their present positions and more ag¬ gressive in their actions and operations. MASTER RECORDS FROM INSTANTEQUS RECORDINGS At Columbus a number of members expressed interest in master records made from in- stanteous recordings. The Starr Piano Company, Richmond, Indiana, can make them at a reasonable cost. R. C. Higgy advises that the Clark Phonography Company, 2l6 High Street, Newark, New Jersey, also makes master records and pressings. We hope to have more complete dope for the July 1 letter. IMPROVEMENTS AT WOSU Our hats off to Higgy et al at WOSU. Three or four years ago a new Western Electric transmitter, this spring a new steel tower, groundwork, and transmitter location; and now a new studio and control room. Not only that, Higgy says they are expecting to build a wing, extending their building to the east, to house offices and relieve generally crowded condition "as veil as provide for expansion, necessitated by the Ohio School of the Air programs which we will have charge of next fall." Then to top it off, Higgy says "new speech imput equipment is being installed in the old studios as well as in the new one during the summer." Higgy has just completed a field intensity survey of WOSU, using the vertical radia¬ tor antenna. A little later he will have maps available for any NAEB member inter¬ ested. Says Higgy: "Briefly, we have extended our coverage through the use of this new tower, a signal of 500 microvolts per meter now existing at 110 miles and which formerly existed with the old antenna at only 75 miles. Of course, there has been no change in power, although we installed complete new speech imput equipment in the transmitter room, including an RCA limiting amplifier." SOLVING THE RADIO EDUCATION PROBLEM Did you read President Arthur G. Crane’s article in BROADCASTING of May 15 th? Here Dr. Crane, president of the University of Wyoming and chairman of the National Com¬ mittee on Education by Radio, outlines his plan for the improvement of educational radio programs through co-operation. Turn to page 4l of that issue and read it. You’ll be interested, too, in pictures of members Joe Wright, Elmer Sulzer, Allen Miller, and Miss Judith Waller of NBC as seen in the hills of Kentucky.
