* Workshop Grants-in-Aid * Research Grants-in-Aid Foundation Relations (handled principally by Foundation Re¬ lations Committee Chairman, Frank Schooley, with assistance and reports prepared by Skornia and other staff) * Reports and questionnaires (many sections fot reports are pre¬ pared by others, of course, and many questionnaires are as¬ signed or referred) Press Relations (providing materials and guidance on request for national magazine articles, such as the recent Reporter article, Reader's Digest, Life etc.) (mostly by Skornia and Hill) * Research Exchanges and Liaison with other Research groups Committee Relations with some of the following committees are handled by various individuals, depending on the problem involved, or the action or data required. For instance, tech¬ nical data for any committee would be supplied by Bidlack. Organizational Liaison (mostly Skornia with Chairman Broderick) Advisory Committee to the President of the ETRC (chan¬ neled by Skornia to Paulu) Associate Members Committee Engineering Committee (Liaison is principally through Cecil Bidlack) Program Grants-in-Aid Committee (principally handled by Hill except for policy) International Relations Committee (Chairman Sy Siegel handles far more of the load in this area than a committee chairman should have to) Membership Committee (except on knotty problems, these relations are delegated to our Traffic Manager, Margaret Enderby, and to Frank Schooley, who also handles voting on membership, for individual members) Professional Advancement Committee (and sub-committees) (generally Skornia and Hill, with Bidlack for engineering and technical) Public Relations Committee (liaison now handled principally by Harold Hill) Permanent Financing Committee (Harold Hill does most of the Headquarter work) Research Committee (principally Skornia) Television Development Committee (Skornia with Hill) Regional Meetings (Hill and Skornia principally with par¬ ticipation also by Bidlack) Convention Committees (both Hill and I serve here, as do Schooley and many others) Utilization Committee (principally Skornia, to date) Publications Committee (most of the work with this com¬ mittee is done by Schooley) ***** In addition to the regular on-going activities in¬ volved in the above (and the list is not exhaustive) there are many requests for “everything you have” on ETV or radio, several hundred letters a year from students, researchers and the general public, letters from a good many of our now over 1,300 members and some of the 2,000 or more additional staff mem¬ bers at their stations (we wish they would become in¬ dividual members!), requests for data on clearance, copyright, postal (and postal legislation) problems and various others which occur on a fairly frequent basis. Many of these have to be handled by all of us cooperatively, depending on the problem. Finally, I might mention the foreign journals, for¬ eign language correspondence, and other foreign re¬ search and other reports which I must handle, since there are no other linguists on the staff. When you consider also the several score days each year when three of us especially, (Skornia, Hill and Bidlack) must be “on the road” for meetings, conventions and other NAEB business sometimes for as long as ten days or two weeks at a stretch, and the fact that I teach one course the first semester of each year, I trust you understand even more why you will sometimes receive a reply from a person other than the one addressed. We believe you want delays min¬ imized and only in this way can we make sure that you get what you need as promptly as possible. I hope you all know me well enough to know that I’m not trying to impress you with how “busy we ire,” or “how hard we work.” That definitely is not the intention. The purpose is to give you a perspec¬ tive on what we do, which we’ve always been too busy to take time to give you before. I assume you could all draw up equally impressive lists for yourselves, for I know you, too, are busy—in fact, we too, often hear through different people from those we address at many of your shops. But if you write me, and some¬ one else answers, I trust you’ll now understand. That’s it! Thanks for allowing me to put it on this personal a basis. And thanks to non-member NAEB Newsletter readers for understanding this “house-or¬ gan” use of our publication on this one occasion to answer many queries at once. NETWORK NEWS —Bob Underwood The 1958 In-School Offering has been selected at a meeting of the NAEB Radio Network School Com¬ mittee in Chicago. The offering, together with audi¬ tion tapes, will be in the hands of member stations not later than Sept. 1 (Issue #35). The deadline for orders is Nov. 1, and actual distribution will begin with Issue #48 (Dec.l) . Twelve series comprise the new offering. All are brand new, there being no re-issues as in former years. A few of the areas covered in this offering are Com¬ munity Life, Social Studies, Poetry Appreciation, Citizenship, and Health and Safety. Also included is the first in-school grant-in-aid series, When Men Are Free, produced by station WHA, University of Wisconsin. This series deals with the concepts of de¬ mocracy and should be of great interest to all mem¬ bers. After hearing two sample programs, I can say that this series would interest adult audiences, too. The fall regular offering is in the finishing stages, and we hope to get it to the stations well in advance of the ordering deadline. This offering will be one of the largest ever made by the network, and we look for wide acceptance from member stations. Release of new grant-in-aid series will begin in the fall offer¬ ing; so you can see that there are some good series ahead. We hope you will like them. At this time we are checking and re-checking our tape inventory balances before sending statements to 4 NEWSLETTER
