MEETING FOR COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS The first NAEB conference dealing with university and college administrative problems as related to Tele¬ vised Instruction has been scheduled for August 24 - September 4 at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind. This conference, exclusively for college and uni¬ versity representatives, should not be confused with the July seminar for teacher-training and station per¬ sonnel. The Conference on Televised Instruction will pro¬ vide service to colleges and universities interested in learning how to integrate closed or open circuit TV into the total instructional program of the institution. Delegates named by college administrators will study and plan the coordination of instructional TV methods for the entire institution. It will also provide the opportunity for some now active in the broadcast field to exchange information and ideas. This conference is also the first NAEB-sponsored, self-supported meeting. The NAEB Board of Di¬ rectors has made available sufficient NAEB funds to underwrite traveling and living expenses of the conference leaders. No honorarium will be paid. In¬ stitution administrators will be urged to send' repre¬ sentatives to the meeting and to pay for them a $100 tuition fee, plus their traveling and living expenses.
