DECEMBER, 1963 


Computer Study Released to FCC 

On November 5, 1963, the NAEB released its computer- 
devised plan for some 2600 assignments of UHF TV chan¬ 
nels. The study, for which funds were provided by the USOE, 
demonstrates the feasibility of using digital computer tech¬ 
niques for TV channel assignment. While there was consid¬ 
erable preparation time necessary, the actual assignment pro¬ 
cedure was conducted in a few hours. With the same basic 
data, subsequent calculations can be made rapidly and pre¬ 
cisely. Vernon Bronson directed the NAEB staff which con¬ 
ducted the study, and technical consultants were the Jansky 
and Bailey Broadcast-Television Division of Atlantic Research 
Corporation. 

Educational Media Council Elects

Industries Association representative, was named secretary. 
Margaret Gill, executive secretary of the Association for Su¬ 
pervision and Curriculum Development, was re-elected treas¬ 
urer. Retiring chairman Charles F. Schuller had served in

directors.

Kansas, Texas, Utah: "Alabama Not 1st" 

There was an item in the October Newsletter stating that 
Alabama claimed the nation’s first gubernatorial proclama¬ 
tion of a state ETV week, September 9-13, 1963. Keith Engar, 
director of radio-TV services at the University of Utah, 
writes that KUED enjoyed gubernatorial proclamations on 
two occasions—in 1958 and 1959—declaring a state educa¬ 
tional television week. Harvey Herbst, station manager of

KLRN-TV, southwest Texas, sends photos of proclamations 
by two different governors of Texas—February 11-15, 1963, 
and in 1961. Donald W. Hansen, director of radio at Wichita 
University, writes that this year, for the second year, the 
Kansas governor is proclaiming an Educational Broadcasting 
Week. 

Any Broadcast Sales Seminars? 

Donald W. Hansen, director of radio at Wichita University, 
is planning a broadcast sales seminar. The class, restricted to 
seven upper-division students, will be taught by sales man¬ 
agers of local commercial stations. Students will meet once a 
week for a two-hour lecture-discussion period. Each student 
will be assigned to a salesman from one of the stations, and 
will make the rounds one afternoon a week to observe pres¬ 
entation methods, servicing, etc. Hansen would like to hear 
from anyone else who has attempted this sort of seminar—and 
he is interested in both results and student reactions. His ad¬ 
dress : 1751 N. Fairmount, Wichita 8, Kansas. 

Bell System Presents Tele-Lecture Seminars 

Three prominent NAEBers participated in the most recent 
Tele-Lecture seminar on October 21. They were Larry T. 
Frymire, chief of Educational Broadcasting Branch of the 
FCC; William G. Harley, NAEB president; and Richard B. 
Hull, director of radio and TV broadcasting and of the Tele¬ 
communications Center, Ohio State University, and chairman 
of the NAEB Board of Directors.

discussion between educators and telephone company consult¬ 
ants. Each educator presents a short talk by phone from the 
city in which he is located. Then telephone company personnel 
located at various listening and participating posts continue 
the discussion. Other NAEBers who have participated in the 
two previous seminars are: Hartford N. Gunn, Jr., general 
manager, WGBH, Boston; R. Lynn Kalmbach, general man¬ 
ager, South Carolina ETV Center; and James G. Paltridge, 
statewide director of ETV, University of California.

INSTRUCTION 

► Radio programs, broadcast over WABE-FM, are being 
used to supplement the TV Spanish course for fourth-graders 
in Atlanta and Fulton County public schools. Short radio 
lessons review the vocabulary heard on WETV during “Nu- 
estros Amigos.” WABE broadcasts the radio programs in the 
afternoon and evening preceding the broadcast for classroom 
listening.

school teacher study guides this fall, after the original 6,000 
supply vras exhausted. 

► St. Louis University announces a complete self-improvement 
program of basic education over TV. Commercial KTVI broad¬ 
casts the courses in the mornings, and the educational station, 
KETC, broadcasts them in the afternoons. 

► This fall, for the first time, the Richmond, Virginia, schools 
used TV for the annual convocation of school personnel. Some 
1900 teachers, principals, supervisors, directors, and consultants 
viewed the program in sixty schools. Reactions have been 
favorable, with such comments as: “Could hear every word 
distinctly” (as opposed to difficulty in the large auditorium where 
convocation has traditionally been) ; “Enjoyed close-ups of the 
speakers and the feeling of intimacy such close-ups gave”; 


NAEB Headquarters: Suite 1119, 1346 Connecticut Avenue,

with the Pasadena (California) board of education for rights 
to distribute their televised course in conversational Spanish,

nationally televised “Parlons Francais” course in conversational 
French, which begins its eleventh year on TV this fall. 

► More than 300 hours of classroom instruction are handled 
by CCTV at Indiana University this fall. Through a system 
arranged by the telephone company, students on the I. U. 
Indianapolis campus are participating in six courses originating 
on the Bloomington campus, and Purdue University students 
in Lafayette see three. Purdue teaches a course viewed in 
Bloomington. 

► WHA-TV, University of Wisconsin, announces that its most 
important major CCTV project so far began this fall when 
production and tape recording of a course in zoology began. 

► The University of Texas announces that during a single 
week this fall, videotape machines there are recording and 
playing back a total of 212 instructional and educational pro¬ 
grams. Five years ago, the total for the entire year was 190.

be aired during the week. 

► Among its National School Telecasts this fall, CBC is pre¬ 
senting a five-part series for high school students on Shake¬ 
speare’s “Julius Caesar.” The TV version consists of five half- 
hour programs, each presenting one act of the play. BBC 
produced the programs. 

GENERAL 

^ WFSU-TV-FM, Florida State University, had its first 
open house October 16. Schools in the county sent representa¬ 
tive groups to tour the facilities, and over 800 students came. 
Nearly forty members of the press and presidents of local 
civic and social organizations saw closed-circuit radio and TV 
previews. The open house is slated to become an annual event. 

► The Alabama ETV network’s original Birmingham trans¬ 
mitter, which was replaced last August, has been permanently 
loaned to the city’s vocational high school to permit senior 
students in the electronics department to gain practical main¬ 
tenance and operational transmitter experience. 

WFCR (FM), Amherst, has a new studio in the School of 
ducation at the University of Massachusetts. The station’s 
November program guide carried a questionnaire to deter¬ 
mine preferences and listening habits of its audience. Oper¬ 
ators of the station plan to originate more programs in the 
future from its four supporting institutions—Amherst, Mount 
Holyoke, and Smith Colleges, and the University of Massa¬ 
chusetts. 

► WTSC-FM, Clarkson College, Potsdam, New York, began 
operating in November on 2.5 watts—claimed to be the least 
power for any licensed FM station in the country. 

^ KFME, new ETV station in Fargo, North Dakota, received 
its Ampex videotape recorder a couple of months ago. The 
VTR was awarded by NET through a Ford Foundation grant. 
The station also received $10,000 worth of videotape from 3M. 

► In an article in the Los Angeles Times, it is reported that 
the Los Angeles ETV station will go on the air in May, with 
a test pattern. Actual programing is scheduled to coincide 
with fall school opening. NBC last month announced a 
$250,000 contribution to assist in construction of the station. 

)► KLRN-TV, San Antonio-Austin, announces that a number 
of its viewers have found do-it-yourself antenna kits of value 
in obtaining better reception in certain areas of the cities. 
Noyes W. Willett, chief engineer for the station, says his 
staff has tested the kits, available for about $5, and found 
them to be perfectly satisfactory. 

► The licensee name for KCUR (FM) has been changed from 
University of Kansas City to University of Missouri at Kan¬ 
sas City. 

► Plans call for activation of a city-wide ITV system in 
Rochester, New York, during the coming year.

Placement Office Needs Positions 

Some 250 persons who are actively seeking employment in edu¬ 
cational broadcasting have credentials on file at the NAEB 
Placement Office. Placement Officer Julie Hunt says that the 
number is increasing rapidly and that the range of candidates 
is wide—from technicians to station managers, and from re¬ 
cent college graduates to NAEBers with extensive broadcast 
experience. 

Currently “Positions Available” are not keeping up with 
“Personnel Available.” 

Institutional members can obtain a free screening service by 
listing openings with the NAEB Placement Office. Location 
preferences and minimum salary requirements are considered 
—and thus the institution is not bothered by Mr. X, who 
wants to work on the West Coast for a salary of $10,000, 
while the job is in New England at $7,500! Credentials of the 
screened applicants are sent to the NAEB institution to be 
examined leisurely. The institution then contacts the appli¬ 
cants of interest directly. (Candidates do not contact the in¬ 
stitution.) 

For further information on how the NAEB Placement Serv¬ 
ice operates, write Miss Julie Hunt, NAEB, 1346 Connecti.- 
cut Avenue, N.W„ Washington, D.C., 20036.
