Joiner, associate dean of the University of ichigan Law School, says that TV is giving a big assist to the law school in training better lawyers with more profes¬ sional responsibility. He was reviewing the first year of op¬ eration of the CCTV link between the circuit court and the law school; this was described in the July-August, 1962, NAEB Journal. ^ KBPS (AM), Portland (Ore.) school station, celebrated its 40-year anniversary in March. ^ The University of New Hampshire has received $14,900 from the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories for antenna research. ^ In a recent statement before the North Dakota House of Representatives, W. Ferron Halvorson, director of educa¬ tional communications for the state department of public in¬ struction, said that North Dakota “. . . is one of the few re¬ maining areas in the United States where some VHF chan¬ nels are still left. Perhaps our state is the only area remaining where there could be an educational television network of VHF channels entirely. . . ^ A press release from Wayne State University says that that institution’s Television Theater is the only locally pro¬ duced dramatic series in Detroit.
