From THE NEW YORK TIMES September 21, 1952 EDUCATION NETWORK Magnetic Tape Recordings Link Seventy Stations By'VAL ADAM A new kind of nation-wide radio network put together with magnetic record¬ ing tape is being nurtured by the National Association of Educational Broadcasters* Seventy stations participate in the network, all non-commercial, the vast majority operated by schools, universities and boards of education. Their aim is to serve and inform the public with programs above quiz show caliber. The -N.A.E.B. has been around formally since 193b, but its tape network came into existence less than three years ago. In the beginning one of its members begged &6Q0 from Cooper Union here for the purpose of buying magnetic tape, recording the school’s forums and putting them on the air. The taped program was broadcast by one educational station and then rushed to another, a process repeated over and over and known in the trade as "bicycling." The circuit completed, the tape was returned to New York, the sound '’wiped' 1 off, an¬ other Cooper Union Forum recorded, and the same piece of tape sped on its way again. Thus was bom the N.A.E.B. tape network. Its operational level has climbed since then, the crowning achievement to date occurring last Sunday with the debut of “The Jeffersonian Heritage'’, a thirteen- week series highlighting the ideas of Thomas Jefferson and underscoring their timeli¬ ness and pertinency in 1952. Grant The program is broadcast here on Sundays from 1 to 1:30 P.M. by WNYC, city- owned station and a member of the N.A.E.B., whose director, Seymour N. Siegel, is president of the association. "The Jeffersonian Heritage," with Claude Rains»playing Jefferson, is one of four series of programs to be produced and presented by the N.A.E.B. through a & 300,000 grant from the Ford Foundation’s Fund for Adult Education. It was directed here by Frank Papp, a producer formerly with N.B.C. The other series will include "The Ways of Mankind," a study of human behav- jv; "International Understanding," which deals with people suffering under Communist subjugation, and "Public Affairs." Headquarters for the tape network operation was originally at WNYC, but in January, 1951, it was moved to the University of Illinois at Urbana and placed under the guidance of the Division of Communications. From this point seven and one-half hours of taped material is mailed weekly to irember stations. Many of these programs are produced by the individual affiliates and offered to the network on an exchange basis.
