A E B ms NEWSLETTER NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS 14 GREGORY HALL NAEB COMMITTEES ANNOUNCED President Burton Paulu has announced the NAEB committees for 1958. In making the announcement, Dr. Paulu pointed out that all chairmen have been contacted and have consented to serve, but problems of secretarial help and time made it impossible to inquire of each committee member whether or not he or she was willing to serve. It is assumed, there¬ fore, that committee members are willing to accept these assignments unless Dr. Paulu hears from them to the contrary very shortly. President Paulu also called attention to the re¬ structuring of the television committees, stating that this was done in order to make the greatest possible use of NAEB television members in bringing all of of the NAEB skills to bear on television problems. With minor exceptions the television committees were restructured along the lines recommended by the former TV Development Committee. Committee appointments for 1958 are listed on page 7. NAEB REGIONAL DIRECTORS ELECTED E. A. Hungerford, Jr., director of operations, Metro¬ politan ETV Association, New York City; William Harley, program director, station WHA, University of Wisconsin; and Robert Schenkkan, director of radio-television, University of Texas, have been elected directors of NAEB Regions I, III, and V respectively in the mail election just completed. An¬ nouncement of the results was not possible earlier be¬ cause the first round of voting, for all Regions, re¬ sulted in a plurality only, whereas the by-laws re¬ quire a majority. The resulting run-off election at first resulted in a tie in Region V, causing still further delay.

Massaquoi. GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT —Burton Paulu I have attended a great many meetings of the NAEB Board of Directors since first becoming an officer of the Association in 1949. By all odds, however, the best of these were the meetings at the St. Louis con¬ vention on October 28, 29, and 30, and in Chicago on December 6, 7, and 8. These sessions were devoted to the basic problems of educational radio and television broadcasting. This fact is important in itself, since it is always easy to lose the “grand design” among the minutiae. But what impressed me even more was the way in which the Board concentrated on the overall problems of educational broadcasting, and never on those of the NAEB alone. At the St. Louis meeting we became very much aware of the recent emergence of new problems in educational broadcasting. We also realized that it would be impossible to discuss these adequately during our short time together: too many routine matters were pressing for action; furthermore, the Convention itself was at hand. Accordingly, we de¬ cided to hold a special meeting in Chicago on Decem¬ ber 6, 7, and 8. There the Board of Directors was joined by other NAEB members chosen to make the session widely
