in. R NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS Radio Hall, U.W., Madison, Wisconsin November 12, 1946 NAEB CONVENTION The 1946 Convention of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters was held at Michigan State College on September 30 and October 1 in East Lansing, with Robert J. Coleman, Director of WEAR, as host. This was in keeping with the practice of holding meetings at the home-cities of members of the NAEB. President Frank Schooley presided. Meetings were largely informal in nature with ample time provided for the free discussion of problems common to educational broadcasters The non-commercial educational FM band currently reserved was the subject of considerable discussion. Members were urged to make known their FM plans and get started "with their applications, lest the FCC conclude that insufficient interest exists on the part of education institutions to warrant holding the facilities. The question of what types of agencies should be eligible to receive assign¬ ments in this band was discussed at length. A resolution on the matter addressed to the FCC was passed. Station activity reports, followed by questioning, brought out many program ideas which could be adopted elsewhere. A tour of the WEAR studios and transmitter site revealed a modern, growing station which apparently is aware of its opportunities and alert to the needs of its listeners. A banquet was held at the Hotel Olds, in Lansing. No speeches were authorized, but----or perhaps as a result--—a most enjoyable evening was spent. Highlight of the meeting was the presentation to Treasurer M. I. Griffith of a pen and pencil set in appreciation of his many years of faithful service to the Association and his continued interest in the affairs of the organization.
