University, WGBH Will Plan TV Programs for Next Year

The University will plan and participate in a service of educational television programs next year when WGBH, the Lowell Institute's educational FM station, expands into TV broadcasting.

To coordinate these programs and other University radio and television activities, President Pusey has appointed a ten-member faculty committee, headed by David W. Bailey '21, Secretary to the Corporation.

Members of the committee who will act as academic advisors are Crane Brinton, McLean professor of Ancient and Modern History, Edward C. Bursk, Editor of the Harvard Business Review, Frederick B. Deknatel, William Door Boardman Professor of Fine Arts, Herold C. Hunt, Charlest William Eliot Professor of Education, and Robert G. McCloskey, associate professor of Government.

Others are Alfred S. Romer, professor of Zoology and Director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Dr. David D. Rutstein, professor of Preventative Medicine, Samule A. Stoffer, professor of Sociology and Director of the Laboratory of Sociology and Director of the Laboratory of Social Relations, and Arthur E. Sutherland, professor of Law, and Bailey.

The committee has not yet decided what programs it will present next year, though it plans to schedule news broadcast of Louis M. Lyons, Curator of the Nieman Fellowships, and a pre-performance commentary on the Boston Symphony Orchestra by G. Wallace Woodworth '24, professor of Music; both are now heard on WGBH-FM. The faculty is also trying to arrange a new group of programs originating within each of the graduate professional schools and TV adaptations of University extension courses.

The date for the commencement of the broadcasts is still uncertain, but Bailey said yesterday that he hoped some University-organized programs would be aired during the coming spring term.

In addition to cooperating with WGBH the University will also participate in the CBS educational television program "The Search," next January. CBS has prepared a documentary film on the Center for Field Studies at the Graduate School of Education, and its analysis of education in 50 American communities.
