rental of history, chemistry, and psychology courses to augment or replace those now being used. ^ “Success in Supervision’’ is a corres- pondence-with-television course developed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and WET A, Washington. Emphasis is on home study and correspondence aspects, and the TV programs provide clarification. After its current use in Washington, the course will be available to educational and commercial stations throughout the coun¬ try. ^ WQED, Pittsburgh, has announced an increase of 54,390 students receiving ITV this year over last year. Rhea Sikes, direc¬ tor of school services, cited several reasons for the increase: WQED’s switch to maxi¬ mum power in December 1964, the growth of cable companies, and the initiative of a group of educators in one county who wanted ITV, and installed a $15,000 trans¬ lator. ^ A new CCTV system links the Univer¬ sity of Texas law school with five district courtrooms, and feeds trial proceedings in¬ to a special TV room on the campus. This is believed to be the first such installation in the South or Southwest; law schools at the universities of Michigan and Minneso¬ ta already have similar hookups. GENERAL ^ WQED, Pittsburgh, will undertake a 5 million dollar project for construction of a new building and for program and per¬ sonnel development. Announcement of the plans followed notification that the Richard King Mellon Charitable Trusts is granting WQED a million and a half dollars over the next three years. This is the largest single gift ever made to any ETV station, and will insure that WQED qualifies fully for the matching grant program of the Ford Foundation. ^ Simultaneously with a long-expected merger of radio and TV with general ex¬ tension and agricultural extension at the University of Wisconsin, Donald R. McNeil was named chancellor of the new unit. ^ November was proclaimed Educational Television Month in San Antonio and Aus¬ tin, Texas, recognizing KLRN-TV. ^ Miami University’s WMUB-TV is op¬ erating under increased power, with about the same range as most area commercial stations. A new antenna and transmitter give the station an effective radiated power of 200.4kw. ^ Commercial radio and TV stations in Knoxville, Tennessee, are paying for line costs so that educational WUOT-FM can carry the New York Philharmonic Orches¬ tra broadcasts live from New York each week. ^ By February 1, WCNY-TV, new com¬ munity station in central New York, ex¬ pects to be programing about 40 hours a week of both in-school and general com¬ munity fare. By September the schedule calls for 65 hours per week.
