- 3 - FCC CHAIRMAN CCff GIVES U. S. EDUCATORS A WARNING AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY MEET A Last Chance The Federal Communications Commission is giving American schools a secondh¬ and possibly last-chance to use radi o._ FCC chairman Wayne Coy issued the warni ng July 30, in a speech prepared for delivery before the second annual conference 1 on radio in education, Indiana University . He said the commission is giving education its second chance now, offering new static-free, high-fidelity FM bands. Despite "general rejoicing" then the offers were made, he said he was disappointed with what has happened since then. Coy said? "There are now only 17 non-commercial education FM stations in operation. Ten more are under construction* There arb only four applications pending." He praised radio station WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky, for "Making radio ( history" through its cooperation with the University of Louisville. The station is broadcasting a college course for credits, the first time this has been attempted. Said Coy:—"There is a school that will never suffer from over¬ crowding. That professor’s class can double, triple, increase a million-fold, go up to 50-million listeners and he can reach them all as easily as he does a handful of students in a little classroom* "There will be no wear and tear bn the campus. No light bills. No coal bills. No living accomodations for students," Radio For Schools Coy said use of radio by schools would " pu t American education 25 years ahead" of its sc h edule ._ But he said schools, overcrowded and under-staffed. are not taking advantage of this modern method of teaching. Said Coy:—The school system without radio must go the way of the little red school house* The ivory to we r must make way for the radio tower." Coy said that in t he earl y days of radio, few schools took advantage of offered wave lengths and permits. Only 34 today have standard stations.
