NAEB Newsletter (August 1, 1963)

radio programs for in-school use, 13 TV and 9 radio pro¬ grams for public relations, and 76 TV programs for adult education. These programs were presented during the 1962-63 school year over local commercial stations. ^ The University of Hawaii and the East-West Center co¬ sponsored a festival of music and art of this century in May. ^ The Indiana University radio and TV service announces that 31 of its ETV shows are currently being shown over the ABC station in New York City. The four series are being aired over commercial WTTV, Indianapolis, also. Titles are: “The Way of the Woman,” “America—Great Issues, Great Speeches,” “The Sense of Sight,” and “A Matter in Doubt.” ^ February, 1964, is the date by which Santa Clara County (Calif.) hopes to be on the air on Channel 54. Plans are to start out with kinescopes, filmed series, and slides with local live announcements. Then in the second phase, plans call for microwave links between the transmitter site and the produc¬ tion facilities of San Jose State College and other ETV pro¬ ducers, and also for installation of a videotape recorder. Dur¬ ing the third phase, addition of a mobile TV camera truck is called for. Organization plans name the county superintendent of schools as station manager, with a director of programing, director of utilization, and chief engineer directly responsible to him. The county board of supervisors has approved an outlay of $210,000 to finance the project. Now the county is awaiting approval from the FCC to use Channel 54. ^ Beginning next fall, Boston University’s two radio stations, WBUR-FM and the closed-circuit WTBU-AM, will utilize common facilities and a single student management staff will coordinate the programing and personnel of both stations. ^ The University of Southern California’s School of Jour¬ nalism and Department of Telecommunications will jointly offer “Introduction to Mass Communication” as a required course in their respective curricula. Teachers of the new course will be Dr. John M. Kittross, associate professor of telecommunications, and Dr. William S. Caldwell, assistant professor of journalism. ^ According to a survey, the New York University professor who faces a WCBS-TV camera to deliver a Sunrise Semester lecture is addressing this composite viewer: a mature woman who rises early in the morning in her suburban home, who owns and reads many books (her preference: non-fiction), whose education and income considerably exceed the average, and who has owned a TV set for at least six years. The pro¬ file is based on 1,134 replies to a questionnaire mailed to 3,200 persons.
