TWELVE RECEIVE NAEB SCHOLARSHIPS Summer scholarship grants totalling $1,975 have been awarded to twelve persons as part of the NAEB’s program to improve qualifications of edu¬ cational broadcasting personnel. This is the second group of recipients selected' for 1958 summer NAEB scholarships. Nine other grants were announced in the May Newsletter. Grants for both groups were awarded primarily on the basis of the contribution to educational broadcasting likely to result from attendance at the summer sessions. Of the recent group of scholarships, seven supply funds for summer study in workshop or academic ses¬ sions and the remaining five grants provide for a four-week period of in-service training at commercial television stations. Recipients of the scholarships are: Martin P. Busch, representing the State Univer¬ sity of South Dakota, who will participate in the Northwestern University-NBC Internship program. Alexander J. Buttice, of Hofstra College, N. Y., to attend New York University’s summer workshop in television and radio.

MANAGEMENT SEMINAR PLANNED FOR AUGUST Plans are underway for the second NAEB Educa¬ tional Television Station Management Seminar to be held August 24 - 27 in Madison, Wis. A grant from the Ford Foundation provides the NAEB with funds to defray transportation and living costs of all ETV station managers attending. The seminar program is being arranged by the TV Management Committee headed by Richard L. Rider, WILL-TV, University of Illinois. Although the program is still tentative, general areas that will be considered include,: financial mat¬ ters such as budgets, fund raising, and increasing ap¬ propriations; implications of national legislation; the role and future plans of national organizations such as the JCET, the NAEB, and the ETRC; relations with faculty, teachers and other talent; and the re¬ lationship between televised instruction and general educational programming. NBC BECOMES FIRST NAEB SUSTAINING MEMBER The National Broadcasting Company is the first Sustaining member of the NAEB. NBC had for many years supported the Association for Education by Radio-Television with an annual contribution of $100. With the merger of the AERT and the NAEB, the network transferred its support to the NAEB, with whom it has had a long and friendly relationship. Sustaining membership is open to any individual, organization or corporation (not eligible for mem¬ bership as an Industrial Associate) wishing to foster educational broadcasting through the NAEB. RADIO PIONEERS! How many NAEB members or station staff mem¬ bers have been in radio and/or television for twenty years or more? With an idea in mind of forming a “Pioneers’ Club,” we’d appreciate your letting us know if you qualify. JULY, 1958 7
