Students each week produce one 15- minute and three half-hour shows, telecast via kinescope over six com¬ mercial TV stations in the state. Missouri is another leading univer¬ sity with a full-scale TV department, and operates a commercial station at Columbia, KOMU-TV, affiliated with all four major networks. Missouri students can take bachelors’, masters’ and doctors’ degrees in speech or journalism with emphasis on TV. One of the first university-owned TV stations is WOI-TV, operated by Iowa State College at Ames, la. This, too, is a commercial outlet where ap¬ proximately 400 students each year assist in the production of live pro¬ grams. Advanced students work for pay as part-time assistants on the station’s various staffs, and produce five telecast courses each week. Indicative of TV departments in big city universities is that at Columbia, in New York. Columbia has joined with NBC to provide students with courses in all phases of TV program¬ ming, production, publicity and writ¬ ing, taught jointly by university and NBC personnel. Although Columbia does not own its own studio, students have a chance for workshop instruc¬ tion at NBC’s studios in Radio City. Supervising the courses for NBC is Edward Stanley and for Columbia, Erik Barnouw, associate professor of dramatic arts and a former NBC script editor.
