- 3 - temporary, shorter appointments. Ken will be responsible principally for riding herd on radio projects for the Cen¬ ter. I think an announcement appears elsewhere in this Newsletter regarding conclusion of a contract with Milton Mayer for a series of European interviews, following the pattern of his earlier VOICES OF EUROPE. This series is financed from a grant by the Center, as recommended by the NAEB, to the University of Chicago. The University’s Radio and Television Office, under the direction of Ned Rosenheim, will be responsible for the checking and editing of these programs. The Center meeting was a good one with some thirty-five people in attendance. It was a great shot in the arm to see the success beginning to be achieved by what a few years ago was a little band of sometimes discouraged pioneers in an area in which realization was hard to come by. I believe ETV is now a reality and a dynamic movement. The calls that will be made on the services and energies of the Center, the JCET and the NAEB will not be lessened by this growing status and stature, however, no one can rest on his laurels yet, if any. The next meeting at Columbus was the NAEB Board meeting. I believe President Frank Schooley will report on this more fully in his President’s Page to Actives and Associates. In passing, however, I might call attention again to the Region I meeting, hosted by Art Weld, being held at Syracuse University’s Sagamore Lodge, May 4 and 5, which Cec Bidlack and I shall be attending before this reaches you. From there I go on to Washington for a Conference on Elementary Education, where I shall be representing you to the best of my ability. The Region V meeting is now planned for Denver, under the leadership of Henry Mamet, on June 14 and 15. Tentatively Region IV is scheduled to meet in Minneapolis June 21-23, with Burton Paulu as host. Dates of the Region VI meeting are yet to be announced, although it is scheduled to be held before the end of June. Regions II and III are scheduled for meetings during the 1956-57 fiscal year. These regional meetings do more than anything I know to make possible an intimate ex¬ change of ideas and acquaintances. I hope you will all try to attend your regional meeting when it is held, in order that your viewpoint may find its way into the thinking, structure and projects of the NAEB.
