NAEB Newsletter (Feb 1957)

Purdue’s experimental set-up allows about 600 stu¬ dents in seven courses to receive CC instruction at two campus locations. One highlight on Saturday was Ned Rosenheim’s “New World” discussion program, a Conference pro¬ gram item, treating a complex subject - Technology and Communications — a roundtable on “Monitor” which you heard Sunday, January 27th. A bad cold prevented Dick Hull’s attendance and the help of his prepared talk for the closing session. An unprepared but just as helpful message was given by past-president Schooley. Region III, already the largest in NAEB, emerged from the Conference stronger than ever. Talk of a Region III network, more frequent meet¬ ings and unilateral program exchanges were heard everywhere. H. B. McCarty has agreed to put on tape his keynote speech which headquarters will dis¬ tribute to region members. The newcomers expressed sincere appreciation at getting to meet the old timers; and the oldsters radiated confidence in the future in light of the splen¬ did young people present at this Conference who ap¬ peared ready, willing and able to carry on the work of NAEB. —N A E B— MEMO FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR By Harry Skornia Because so many things are occurring just at deadline, this month’s report will be very brief. Undoubtedly we shall be able to provide a longer column next time. As this is written, we have had relatively few reactions to the changed form of the Newsletter. We hope you like it, and we will continue to im¬ prove. One way to improve is to have news from you, so please keep it coming — along with any suggestions. Another way is to be sure your staff members have access to the Newsletter. Do you route your copy to all who might profit from it? The principal event of this period', since last month, is the Executive Committee meeting held in sub-zero Minneapolis January 10 and 11. Origin¬ ally scheduled for Chicago, the meeting-place had to be changed because there were absolutely no hotel accommodations available due to the furni¬ ture and automobile shows. Minneapolis, with President and Mrs. Paulu’s hospitality, turned out to be. a good choice after we finally got there (by train, with pockets full of unused airplane tickets). I shall leave discussion of the results of this meeting to your president. Briefly, committee membership was discussed (advisory to the pres¬ ident) , together with problems of goals, support and projects for the next year — problems which could not wait for the meeting of the full Board at Columbus in early May, in connection with the IERT. I personally, was very well pleased with the meeting and believe much was accomplished. Committee appointments by President Paulu ap¬ pear elsewhere in this issue. DIRECTORY CHANGES p.
