KU, K-State Press Plans For Educational Television
By LEE ANN URBAN
The University and Kansas State college are actively continuing plans for educational television on their campuses.
R. Edwin Browne, director of radio and head of the KU television committee, said color is especially suited to educational television and will be included in the plans.
The schools submitted a bill to the Kansas Senate Ways and Means committee last year, but it did not reach the floor for a vote. The committee on educational television for Kansas has almost completed a system to send to the Legislature again this year.
The committee met regularly this summer and added representatives from Kansas teachers colleges at Hays, Emporia, and Pittsburg. The KU Medical center, which soon will expand its television facilities, also was included.
The Medical center was the first school in the country with closed circuit educational television for daily use in medicine. The program was begun in September 1949, and later became the first with color television for the same purpose.
KU filed with the Federal Communications commission for a construction permit June 1, 1953. Because the FCC requires an adequate financial showing it has not vet acted on the permit. If the Legislature grants KU the funds this year, construction will start immediately.
The KU station would broadcast on channel 11—one of the channels reserved by the FCC for noncommercial educational television.
At a meeting of the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce in Topeka
"We recognize the great potential value of television as an instructional medium; we recognize the need for a unified program of educational television in Kansas; and we commend the five state colleges and the colleges' television committee for progress they have made."
this summer, this following resolution was made:

The Studio theater was started by Thomas Shay, a former speech instructor, in 1951. Mr. Shay wrote his doctoral thesis on the first year of the Studio theater. The Studio theater has expanded since that time. This year it moved into the radio office in Green which is used as a theater office and for costumes and makeup.
The Studio theater uses student directors sometimes and hopes to do original shows written by students. It is for students who are interested in and want to work in dramatics. They do all kinds of productions, Nathaniel Eek, director, said, "The sky is the limit, you never can tell what we are going to do."
The University. Players was begun in 1905 and has changed its
The Studio theater presents six productions a year. About half are bills of one-act plays and the rest three-act plays. The next production will be three one-act plays, an excerpt from "Spoon River Anthology," by Edgar Lee Masters; "27 Wagons Full of Cotton," by Tennessee Williams, and "Moonshine," by Arthur Hopkins.
name a dozen times since then. It supports the Studio theater not only actors but with technicians. The University Players gives only production which is completely run by students. Its melodrama is organized, directed, and produced by students.
This group also does the University road show. With the exception of a few years, the road show has been presented since 1919.
Allen Crafton, head of the speech and drama department, is advisor of the University Players.
After two false starts, the Radio and TV Players organized under KFKU. It was originally organized to provide programs for the Jayhawk School of the Air.
Last year it transferred to KDGU with a new adviser, Lymn Osborne, assistant instructor of speech. The organization gives students experience in radio. The members do live and recorded shows, from love stories to comedy, for KDGU.
This group conducts a workshop once a month to acquaint the members with all phases of radio, such as acting, producing, directing and engineering.
