WASHINGTON REPORT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS 1346 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20036 Volume IV, Number 15_ October 15, 1963 NEW EDUCATIONAL FM RADIO STATIONS AUTHORIZED Four licenses and four CPs have been issued for new educational FM stations in the past two weeks. Those receiving licenses were: WIAA, National Music Camp, Interlochen, Mich. (Sept. 27) WSAE, Spring Arbor (Mich.) College (Sept. 27) KUNR, Univ. of Nevada, Reno (Sept. 27) WTSC-FM, Thomas C. Clarkson Memorial College of Technology, Potsdam, N.Y. (Oct. 4) CPs were granted to the following: Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., for new Class D educational FM station, to operate on 90.5 me, with 10 w. Univ. of Mo School of Mines & Metallurgy, Holla, for new Class D station to operate on 88.5 me, with 10 w. Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, la., for new Class D station to operate on 89.7 me with 10 w. Wisconsin State College and Inst, of Tech., Platteville, for new station to operate on 89.5 me, ERP 275 w, antenna height 115 ft* ADLER PROPOSES MODIFICATIONS IN 2500 me RULES On Oct. 3, the FCC invited comments to a proposal by Adler Electronics, Inc., to amend the rules governing ITV Fixed Stations so as to assign alternate channels with 6 me separation to a single licensee in the same area, instead of the 30 me separation between the 31 channels specified in Sect. 4.902 for such transmission. In its petition, Adler claimed that arranging assignments in each group on alternate channels would make possible a broad-band receiver capable of receiving several channels, thus saving the cost of a separate receiver for each channel. The Commission is particularly interested in actual experimental data on the necessary ratio of desired to undesired signals for interference-free reception when stations are operated on alternate or adjacent channels, and at other channel separations both with broad-band receivers of the type proposed by Adler and single channel receivers, also estimates of the probable range of costs of the different receivers. SENATE PASSES NDEA EXTENSION On Oct. 8, the Senate passed (80-4) H.R. 4955, the bill providing for a three- year extension of the National Defense Education Act, the Federally impacted areas legislation, and for an expanded vocational education program. As originally passed by the House, H.R. 4955 provided only for the expansion of the vocational program. The differences created by the Senate's addition of NDEA and impacted area extensions will now have to be resolved by a Senate-House conference committee. Normally it is necessary for the Rules committee to grant a rule before the bill can go to conference. Chm. Howard Smith (D., Va.) is known to oppose some of the expansions now contained in H.R. 4955; therefore obtaining a rule is expected to be a difficult matter
