Hull, Workshop Chairman. "These men, and those representing over UO other institutions and school systems have practical problems of television station management for which the Workshop hopes to provide some of the answers," said Hull* "The Iowa State College Staff, including WOI-TV, is prepared to pass along our experience in programming, engineering, finance^ and management to do what we can to get educational television rolling in the least possible time." Special Consultants Invited In addition, consultants have been invited from outside the ISC campus to supplement the local staff presentations.

The Workshop is sponsored by Iowa State College, the only educational institution now operating a television'station, in cooperation with the National Association of Edu¬ cational Broadcasters and the Joint Committee on Educational Television* The idea for the Workshop developed from the speech of Chairman Paul A. Walker of the Federal Communications Commission urging educators to take immediate advantage of those channels reserved for non-commercial educational television.
