NAEB Newsletter (February 1, 1963)

an interview with Dr. Philip Lewis, director of the bureau of instructional materials for the Chicago schools. ^ Joseph Sagmaster, director of broadcasting for the Univer¬ sity of Cincinnati, writes that NAEB Radio Network use of programs of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra has made big radio news in Cincinnati. The publicity has included a congratulatory editorial in a Sunday Cincinnati Enquirer. Some 60 NAEB stations have ordered the series for which University of Cincinnati’s WGUC was awarded an NAEB grant-in-aid last year. y WHA-TV, University of Wisconsin, aired 21 live programs in five days during the Christmas season. Bruce Westley is conducting a research project in connection with the Christ¬ mas programing. ^ KQED, San Francisco, last month sent out announcements to its viewers that it would be able to carry the East-West NBA All-Star game January 16 only if every interested sports fan sent the station $1 to offset costs of the telecast. ^ Chicago’s WBEZ was recently awarded a “special citation for outstanding service to education and the community through the radio medium” by the American College of Radio Arts, Crafts and Sciences. The award was based on the over¬ all scope and quality of the station’s program schedule for 1962. ^ Indiana State College’s new FM station, WVIS, is being constructed this winter and will be on the air starting with the first semester of 1963-64. Transmitter power will be 250 watts with ERP 310 watts; frequency 89.7 meg.; antenna height 172.5 feet. ^ The University of Minnesota reports more than 3,000 stu¬ dents enrolled in nine courses conducted via CCTV. CCTV instruction has been greatly increased this year in a vigorous program of experimentation and appraisal, states the Staff Bulletin in the December 1 issue, one-fourth of which was devoted to the CCTV program. ^ Coverage of 85% of the state is anticipated by the end of 1963 by the Alabama ETV Commission.
