NAEB Newsletter (July 1958)

NEWSLETTER NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS VOL. XXIII, NO. 7 URBANA, ILLINOIS JULY, 1958 SCHOOLEY NAMED NAEB PRESIDENT Frank E. Schooley, Director of Broadcasting at the University of Illinois, was named President of the Association by the Board of Directors at a special meeting in Chicago June 25. Schooley will fill the un¬ expired term of Burton Paulu who resigned (see story below). According to the NAEB by-laws, “Vacancies that may occur on the Board of Directors and/or elected officers by any cause shall be filled by the Board of Directors for the unexpired term.” Schooley, who served as NAEB President in 1944 and 1945 and again in 1955 and 1956, will serve until January 1, 1959. The President for 1959 will be elected at the convention in Omaha this fall. One of Schooley’s first official acts as President was to name the nominating committee which will present the slate of officers to be voted on at the convention. Graydon Ausmus, WUOA, University of Alabama, was named chairman of the committee. Serving with Ausmus will be Edward W. Rosenheim, Jr., University of Chicago; Henry Chadeayne, KETC, St. Louis; William Harley, WHA-TV, University of Wisconsin; Edwin Adams, University of Washington; Earl Wynn, WUNC, University of North Carolina; and Mrs. Dorothy Klock, WNYE, New York. PRESIDENT PAULU RESIGNS TO STUDY ABROAD Dr. Burton Paulu has announced his resignation from the presidency of the NAEB in order to continue research in European broadcasting. A grant from the Fund for the Advancement of Education makes possible a year’s study in the United Kingdom and in Europe. Provided a sabbatical leave from the University of Minnesota where he is di¬ rector of radio and television broadcasting, Dr. Paulu and his family will leave in September. A teaching obligation at the University of South¬ ern California this summer created circumstances necessitating an immediate resignation, according to Dr. Paulu, although he said that he will remain avail¬ able to consult with his successor and help the as¬ sociation in every way possible upon his return in 1959. Dr. Paulu has spent considerable time abroad, first with the Office of War Information in 1944 and 1945 which led to his doctoral dissertation on the Voice of America. A Fulbright scholarship for the academic year 1953-54 provided him with a year’s study in London during which time he gathered data for his book, British Broadcasting . His present travel grant will permit continued study in this area of in¬ terest. Dr. Paulu has served the NAEB in a variety of capacities: he was elected as secretary three times, vice president twice, regional director once, and pres¬ ident twice. Although pleased with the study op¬ portunities made available to him, Dr. Paulu ex¬ pressed his regret at leaving the presidency before his term was completed.
