NAEB SCHOLARSHIPS AND
WORKSHOP GRANTS-IN-AID

We would like to bring to the attention of our readers
that two types of NAEB financial aid's are presently
available to qualified applicants.

The first of these consists of scholarships de¬
signed to permit persons active in educational broad¬
casting to increase their professional knowledge either
through attendance of workshops or regular academic
sessions. Because funds are limited it seems unlikely
that we will be able to help all who apply. However,
we nevertheless urge those who are interested to
submit their applications. All applicants will be
judged collectively.

The second category entails workshop grants-in-
aid intended to assist institutions planning to con¬
duct workshops. The specific purpose of these grants-
in-aid is to help institutions to hire outstanding con¬
sultants whom they might not be able to afford
otherwise, thus increasing the caliber of their fac¬
ulties.

It should be understood that these grants-in-aid
are not intended to completely finance workshops, nor
to help institutions which previously had no inten¬
tion of conducting one. Thus, if failure to receive a
are not intended to completely finance workshops, nor
application should be filed.

As in the case of the NAEB scholarships, the num¬
ber of applicants is likely to exceed the number of
grants we will be able to make.

Those interested in applying should write us a
detailed letter including the following information:
(1) who is sponsoring the workshop (2) when and
where it will be held (3) the purpose (4) the pro¬
posed budget (5) the staff involved (6) for whom the
workshop is primarily designed (7) whether or not
college credit will be given (8) how participants are
to be selected (9) the cost to the participants (10)

INTERNATIONAL ETY SEMINAR

“Community need” was cited by Hartford Gunn, gen¬
eral manager of WGBH-TV, Boston, as the major re¬
quirement for success of ETV in individual places.
Gunn spoke at the close of the First International
Educational Television Seminar, a two-day con¬
ference, sponsored by Boston University’s School for
Public Relations and Communications, Division of
Communications Arts.

“If a community has this need,” Gunn added,
“then organizing and financing an educational tele¬
vision station becomes much easier.”

He pointed out that his contention, that existing
TV stations reflect the needs of the people in the
area, has been true in many localities in the United
States.

In commenting on the financing of ETV in this
country, Gunn stated that 11 are underwritten by
public educational institutions, an equal number is

1

financed by the communities at large, while the re¬
maining stations are supported by state institutions
ahd statewide networks.

Other speakers at the meeting included Richard
B. Hull, director of radio and television, Ohio State
University, who gave a history of educational tele¬
vision from its start at the University of Iowa in
1932 to the present date; Dr. Harry J. Skornia, exe¬
cutive director of the NAEB, who outlined the history
of the NAEB and its contributions to the field of
ETV through grants-in-aid to stations, scholarships,
and conducting of seminars and workshops; and Dean
Max R. Goodson of Boston University’s School of
Education.

In his remarks, Goodson termed television as a
“promising instrumentality for increasing educational
power in our time.”

“But,” he warned, “there is one limitation — tele¬
vision will never replace the principal instrument of
education, the personality of the teacher, and we
should think of TV as enhancing the power of and
not replacing the teacher.”

The late October convention rush has prevented
President Burton Paulu and Executive Director
Harry J. Skornia from writing their monthly
columns. Their messages will be resumed in the
December Newsletter issue.

NETWORK NEWS

—Bob Underwood

Since a complete annual report of network ac¬
tivities was just given at the Convention, there is
little need for me to go into that subject any further
except to say that we are “in-between seasons” here
right now, sort of a lull before the storm of in-school
distribution and year-end summaries.

And it is a good thing we are having a lull: we
have had the flu or some variation thereof. First
Underwood, his wife and son; then Jesse Trump and
his wife; George Langberg, one of our student dup¬
licator operators, has been out twice recently due to
severe colds, once in the hospital. Between illnesses
George got married so he has had a busy month!
As of this writing, only George, Jesse’s wife and Un¬
derwood’s son are still under the weather. If you
haven’t been receiving many communications from
us during the past few weeks, this will explain why.

The 1958 in-school series are about to be distri¬
buted, but not too many of the expected orders are
in. Will you please forward them as soon as possible.
Remember, if your order arrives after we begin ship¬
ment you will be charged an extra dubbing fee for
back programs.

We were forced to send out another bulletin on
tape returns recently, and we are pleased to report
a good response. Convention work and staff illness
have prevented our working on the tape balance
sheets save for an hour or so. However, with the Con¬
vention being over and our health returned we now
hope to get the balance sheets out to you soon. In
the interval we expect to receive many, many returns.

Best regards to all from the staff.

DULLES COMMENDS ETV

Just prior to the opening telecast of the META
Board of Education television series “Spotlight on
Asia” Oct. 1 over WPIX, META received this greet¬
ing from Secretary of State John F. Dulles:

“During the past two decades Americans have
come to realize that our national security and the
security of like-minded nations can be achieved only
through cooperative international efforts. Our
government has played a leading part in bringing
about the present alignment of free nations dedicated
to the principles of international peace and order.

It is not enough, however, that this task be dele¬
gated entirely to government officials in Washington
and our representatives abroad. To be meaningful
and to reflect our national aspirations the fashioning
of a better and peaceful world requires the active
participation of responsible Americans of all ages. But
before there can be participation, a firm basis of
understanding must exist. To this end, it seems to
me that educational television focussed' on Asia
provides valuable service to us all by bringing be¬
fore us some of the fundamentals of knowledge of
Asian history, culture, and human values with the
vividness of sight and sound. This will lead to firmer
mutual understanding. It will thus help the free
world’s collective security efforts in Asia, and increase
the unity and determination we all need in the great
task of waging peace.”

On the initial “Spotlight on Asia” program on
Pakistan, His Excellency Mohammed' Ali, Pakistani
ambassador to the U.S., discussed his country’s prob¬
lems and future.

PROGRAM EXCHANGE URGED

Sixteen members of Boston University’s 1957
International Seminar on Radio and Television joined
in a plea for increased exchange of programs and
transcontinental radio and television networks at a
press conference held for them at the University Oct.
15.

These 16 experts are among the 30 radio and TV
experts from 25 countries who came to Boston Uni¬
versity in June for the start of the four-month semi¬
nar.

Many of the seminar members had never seen
television before they came to the United States.

Although some of them felt that United States
television is too commercial, they all agreed that com¬
mercial television is responsible for the great tech¬
nical progress of the medium. Several said educa¬
tional television tends to be stuffy, too obviously ed¬
ucational.

Miss Enoh Maria Etuk, broadcasting officer from
Nigeria, believes that each station should have some
education, some information and some entertainment.
Educational TV and radio in this country, she said,
are too technical, too blatantly educational and not
sufficiently entertaining.

Miss Thetis C. Frantji, head of the General Broad¬
casting Section in Greece, stressed the cultural ad¬
vantages of TV. “It is bringing the theater and music
to many people who would otherwise not be exposed
to them.” But, she added, “TV came to the world
too early, before we had fully realized the potential
of sound.”

The TV picture is\so captivating, she said, that
people may not think enough about what is being
said.

The seminar is under the sponsorship of the In¬
ternational Education Exchange Service of the United
States Department of State. During the seminar, the
foreign TV and radio experts inspected network
studios, observed stations in New York and spent
several weeks individually observing radio-TV op¬
erations throughout the country.

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

The U.S. National Commission for UNESCO’s plans
for Human Rights Day on Dec. 10 are in final form
and materials for assisting in the observance of the
day are available free of charge for distribution.

This year, as in years past, the President of the
United States is expected to issue a proclamation
calling attention to the anniversary of the adoption
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(1948) and asking all Americans to join with the free
nations of the world in celebrating it. In addition,
the governors of the 48 states are being asked to is¬
sue similar proclamations. Last year, more than 20
governors did so.

The emphasis this year will be on educational
institutions, teachers and other groups concerned
with education in order to lay the groundwork for
a widespread and effective observance of the 10th
anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration in
1958.

Materials for the promotion of Human Rights
Day, including posters, suggested radio spot an¬
nouncements, flyers, and wall charts suitable for class¬
room use, may be obtained by writing to the U.S. Na¬
tional Commission for UNESCO, Department of
State, Washington 25, D.C.

FCC ACTION

FCC Examiner Hugh B. Hutchison has recommend¬
ed approval of the Puerto Rican Education Depart¬
ment’s application for a new TV station at Mayaguez.

The education department, which operates WIPR-
AM-TV at San Juan, plans to use channel 3, a com¬
mercial facility, as an additional educational station at
Mayaguez.

f The trustees of the Louisville (Ky.) Public Lib¬
rary have applied for a noncommercial educational
TV station at Louisville. The station would operate
on channel 15, reserved for education.

TV STUDENTS VERSUS
CLASSROOM STUDENTS

Research during 1956-57 has shown that for students
of equal college aptitude the achievement of TV en-
rollees was equal to that of classroom students in the
same subject, according to Clifford G. Erickson, as¬
sistant dean in charge of TV education at the Chicago
City Junior College.

When taken as a group, the study revealed, TV
students did better on examinations and earned
better marks than the daytime classroom students.

Erickson attributes this to the fact that the former
were older, more mature, and as a group, of higher
college aptitude. College aptitude was measured by
a test administered to TV and classroom students at
registration time.

Plans are presently in progress for a second year
of experimentation in televised higher education
through the College’s station WTTW-Channel 11.
The 1957-58 experimental design will be refined to
control more of the factors which might affect re¬
search results. The TV students will be compared
with evening classroom students rather than day
students as in the past year. This will make for more
equivalence of age, maturity and motivation.

From the two groups pairs will be selected, match¬
ing each TV student with a classroom student. These
pairs will be equated insofar as possible on age, col¬
lege ability, sex, previous training and employment
load. The achievement of the pairs will be compared
by subject based on pre-tests, mid-term quizzes and
final examinations.

NEWS OF MEMBERS

GENERAL

Seven new noncommercial educational stations have

► The Indiana University Radio and Television
Service will be host to 75 high school radio broad*
casters at a two-day “do-it-yourself” broadcasting
clinic Nov. 1 and 2.

The clinic is designed to provide practical in¬
struction and guidance to Hoosier high school stu¬
dents who are operating their own school broadcast
stations.

Members of the University department will in¬
struct in announcing and production techniques,
newswriting, sportscasting tape-recording techniques
and technical problems.

The clinic, under the direction of Prof. George
Johnson, stems from a 1949 conference on educational
broadcasting at the Indiana University. At that time
the late Wayne Coy, then chairman of the FCC, an¬
nounced the creation of “electronic blackboards” by
the Commission — the allocation of low-power (10
watts) FM broadcast channels for use by schools for
educational purposes.

New Albany High School was the first in the
country to set up a station. It was followed by the
Louisville (Ky.) Public Library.

Presently there are 11 such stations operated by
high school students and administrative staffs in
Indiana.

► A University of Miami-sponsored' seminar, aimed
at teaching local ladies engaged in civic work how to
behave in front of the TV camera, was held in the
studios of WTHS-TV.

During the seminar, a group of TV experts, headed
by Vernon Bronson, director of the station, showed
attendants the role of community organizations in
WTHS, how to plan programs with simplicity and
effectiveness, how to prepare and display material,
how to budget time and money for low-cost produc¬
tion, and other methods of good television.

► “There will not be enough air time to meet the de¬
mand for televised in-school training 10 years from
now,” Dr. John W. Taylor, executive director of
WTTW, Chicago, told his audience at a luncheon
meeting in the Chicago Club. The meeting was a
part of the educational TV station’s 1957-58 fund
drive whose goal is $340,000.

TV TECHNICAL TIPS

—Cecil S. Bidlack

On September 19, the FCC amended Part 3 of its
Rules and Regulations to permit remote control op¬
eration of AM and FM transmitters (Docket 11677)
including non-commercial educational FM stations.
All stations may be operated remote control regardless
of power or whether directional or not. Since 1953,
the FCC has permitted remote control operation for
AM and FM stations using not more than lOkw and
omnidirectional antennas. The Commission has not
changed the rule requiring a first class operator to be
in charge of stations operating with a power in excess
of lOkw and with directional antennas. Applications
for remote control will be considered on a case to case
basis and the applicant will be required to show that
transmitters and directional antenna systems are
stable and in proper adjustment. Information sub¬
mitted on stability will be obtained from an analysis
of operating logs over a one year period and must in¬
clude an outline of the maintenance practice of the
station and the policy to be followed after remote con¬
trol authorization.

*****

On October 2, the FCC adopted Docket 11896
which deletes section 3.182 (c) and the first sentence
of footnote 1 to the table contained in section 3.182
(v) of the rules. These sections, commonly called the
“unique service” rules, provided that when it is shown
that primary service is provided by any station be¬
yond its normally protected contour, and primary
service to approximately 90% of the population of the
area, between the normally protected contour and the
contour to which the station serves, is not supplied by
any other station or stations carrying the same gen¬
eral program service, the contour to which protection
may be afforded will be determined on the facts in
each case.

Comments opposing this action were filed by
WBAA, WILL, KOAC, KWSC, WOI and NAEB,
stressing the importance of protecting the program
service rendered by educational radio stations beyond
these station’s normally protected contours and sug¬
gesting that if any action is called for the rules should
not be abolished but should merely be clarified.

In deleting the rules the FCC stated that present
provisions were too vague and indefinite to be of as¬
sistance in filing and processing of applications for
new and' improved standard broadcast facilities, that
there was no satisfactory criteria for determining
what constitutes the “same general program service”

and that the “unique service” rule is an unsatisfactory
allocation tool and should be dispensed with. The
FCC also believes this amendment will encourage the
establishment of more uniform, fixed allocation rules,
thereby fostering a more effective AM broadcast ser¬
vice throughout the country.

EDUCATIONAL RADIO SERIES
A HIT IN MILAN

A series of radio programs intended for the purpose of
teaching American students about Italy has turned
out to be a real hit in teaching Italian students about
the United States, according to Miss Marie C. Scan¬
lon, supervisor of radio and' TV, WBGO, Newark,
N. J.

The switch occurred, Miss Scanlon explained,
when an Italian exchange teacher, Dr. Renzo Pivetti
of Milan, became enthusiastic about a series of broad¬
casts over WBGO. The series, called “Ecco ITtalia,”
traces the adventures of a fictitious American high
school girl as she travels around Italy with her Italian
relatives.

Dr. Pivetti returned to Italy with a tape recorder

and two programs of “Ecco ITtalia.”

Soon afterward he wrote Miss Scanlon that the
tapes has been played again and 9 /gain in schools and
families with a terrific success^ahd that his audience
wanted' more programs.

The Columbia Civic League, an Italian-American
organization in Newark, contributed tapes for the
recordings and the entire series of 15 programs was
sent overseas to Milan.

In another letter Dr. Pivetti writes that the
American highschool girl has gained “increasing sym¬
pathy to your country and the ideals it represents.”

“Ecco ITtalia” won First Award at the Institute
for Education by Radio-Television at Ohio State Uni¬
versity in 1955. It has also been offered for distri¬
bution by the NAEB.
