Prior to this a great amount of preliminary planning and investigatory work had been done. The former director of General Extension, Dr. Marion B. Smith and the Dean of the University, Major Fred C. Frey had directed preliminary studies. Dr, J. V. Brouillette, director of the General Extension Division together with two acting directors of radio, Miss Charlotte Searles and Miss Fora Landmark conducted the research and made all preliminary preparations for FCC application. The late Dr. Uilliam B, Hatcher lent the project his warmest support. Uhy Frequency Modulation? The University chose to construct an FM station rather than an amplitude modulation station because FM is the newest and finest form of the broadcast art, LSU feels that FM is superior to ordinary radio; it will in 5 to 8 years, to a large extent, replace radio as we knew it now, FM high fidelity with its capacity for authentic reproduction of music and its static-free characteristic were important considerations. * •.:<*** ***** TTTYC-FM FET rr 0RIC FLAMMED SOON OF FASTERM SEABOARD Plans for an Eastern FM network to emphasise educational and public service programs are being developed by Seymour Siegel, director of UHYC, Few York City municipal station. The proposed network is to be purely an "off-the-air” operation without actual physical connections. The Continental Fetwork, now in operation, uses the same method for some of its pick-ups. The non-commercial, public service network, keyed by Station URYC, will have coverage in 3 or 4 Eastern states. The City of Few York is expected to further participate through the City Education Department 1 s Station, UFYE-FM. The Rational Association of Educational Broadcasters (F-A-E-B) will cooperate in the development, and will have an announcement on further extension of the net¬ work in an early Fewsletter, Nearly all of the F-A-E-B AM stations, notably those in Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Uisccnsin, and Indiana are in the process of planning.,, constructing or operating.
