NAEB NEWS LETTER......._ A t N 8 T ELECTRONICS WONDERFUL Page 4 June I , 1945 The General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York, has announced the DEVELOPMENT OF A SO-CALLED ELECTRONIC "SMELLER. H It IS DESIGNED TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF HARMFUL MERCURY VAPORS WHICH MIGHT BE INJURIOUS TO THE HEALTH 'OF WORKERS. This is nothing new to our transmitter staff. They claim they have been LISTENING TO AND LOGGING ELECTRONIC SMELLERS FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. H1GGY ENTERTAINS YOUR EDITOR AT WOSU Late last February your editor found himself in Columbus with an Illinois BASKETBALL TEAM WHICH LATER THAT EVENING WAS GOING TO TAKE A TERRIFIC DRUBBING. Said unfortunate incident not having yet happened, your eoitor in high spirits called upon and was royally entertained by one Robert HlGGY— DIRECTOR OF WCSU, PROF. OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, AND A DARNED GOOD ENGINEER NO MATTER HOW YOU FIGURE IT. He SHOWED ME a STUDIO LAYOUT WHICH HAD BEEN OUTGROWN BY THE TREMENDOUS EXPANSION OF WOSU BROADCASTING ACTIVITIES AND THEN MADE MY MOUTH WATER BY POINTING OUT THAT THEY HAD VERY HIGH PRIORITY ON THE CAMPUS POST WAR BUILDING PROGRAM FOR A $<50,000 STUDIO BUILDING. As IF THAT WEREN * T SUFFICIENT HE POINTED PROUDLY TO A PROGRAM SCHEDULE THAT WAS FULL OF FINE LOCAL FEATURES PLUS NETWORK AUGMENTATION FROM C8S, MUTUAL, AND BLUE.

Today WOSU is on the air an average of 72 hours a week, with a wide VARIETY OF BROADCASTS—MUSIC, DRAMA, NEWS, FARM INFORMATION, LECTURES FROM UNIVERSITY CLASSROOMS, A REGULAR SUNDAY AFTERNOON FORUM. TWO MAJOR ACTIVITIES OF THE UNIVERSITY STATION ARE THE "OHIO SCHOOL OF THE A|R% BROADCASTING PROGRAMS FOR CLASSROOM USE IN THE SCHOOLS OF THE STATE, and the “Radio College*', broadcasting courses in languages, social sciences MUSIC APPRFCIAT I ON, AND OTHER SUBJECTS FOR ADULTS. Ohio State's electrical engineering department began to experiment in WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY. By l9<3 THE UNIVERSITY HAD A GOOD STATION WHICH, DURING THE FLOOD OF THAT YEAR, WAS ONE OF THE few ways Columbus had of keeping in touch with the outside world. The Ohio State broadcast of April 20, 1920, was the first to be made from central Ohio, and it was heard over a radius of 120 miles—exceeoing all EXPECTAT » ONS.
