-7- casting can be an important instrument in the dissemination of information, opinion, discussion and interpretation essential to the solving of today’s complex problems. Radio can also offer, and on a vast scale, meaningful cultural experiences to the listener. To this kind of radio broadcasting, the NAEB and KUOM are dedicated. On the following page, we call your attention to some of the outstanding NAEB programs you will hear during the coming quarter. To the interested listener, they will bring rich rewards in stimulating thought and high in¬ spiration. WOSU Also ’’Plugs” NAEB The January program bulletin of the Ohio State University Station WOSU also devotes much space to the tape network. The WOSU story begins: WOSU now broadcasts over six hours of NAEB programs each week. These programs originate among the seventy-five NAEB tape network educational stations, British Broadcasting Corporation, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Cooper Union, Twentieth Century Fund, Lowell Institute, Rocky Mountain Radio Council, commercial stations and networks, and university sponsored conferences like Ohio State’s Institute for Education by Radio and Tele¬ vision. NAEB tape network disseminates outstanding radio programs produced by the above listed resources by means of magnetic tape recordings. These programs are not intended to entertain. They provide information, opinion, discus¬ sion, and interpretation needed to help solve today’s complex problems. Cultural broadcasts such as the best in music and drama also are scheduled. CONNECTICUT TALKS WITH SOUTH DAKOTA VIA FM Two members of the Stamford, Connecticut police department were recently tinkering with their fifty-watt FM receiver when they suddenly found themselves party to a conversation with the Great Plains. The New Englanders normally find their radio contacts within a radius of twenty miles of Stamford but at 11:18 on the morning of December 16 they kept hearing ’’South Dakota” and ”Minnesota” and descriptions of weather so cold it made them wonder if the temperature was not lower than 20 degrees right there in Stamford. Morristown, New Jersey, and Ithaca, New York, crackled into the chit-chat too. This was not so unusual for Stamford, but the Western stuff was strictly new. Peculiar atmospheric conditions presumably combined to vastly increase the range of the little set. No names were exchanged, but the two New Englanders insist they were talking briefly with members of the sheriff’s office in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and with police authorities in Worthington, Minnesota. They have a clear, slightly shivery recollection that the temperature was said to be minus 13> in Sioux Falls and minus 20 in Worthington, a figure much more frightening to men from Con¬ necticut than it is to those from Minnesota I Morristown and Ithaca were equally surprised, although none of the Eastern listeners recorded more than the fact that small talk about the weather was exchanged. But, as the local policeman put it, ”If it was twenty below where you were, what would you talk about?”
