McMullan Brothers Win on TV Quiz Show
By Byron Klapper
KU ballad singer Jim McMullan and his brother Ed, both Long Beach N. Y., seniors, were three time winners this summer on the national television show Video Village.
JIM McMULLAN was chosen for the Video Village show when an executive of the CBS television network heard him sing at the City Center Ballroom, a nightclub in New York where people come to dance or just relax and listen to music.
The McMullan brothers won three of the "quiz game" shows which netted them a total of $400 in cash and an additional $400 gift certificate at a New York department store before being defeated.
The KU ballad singer was discovered while singing a solo with his guitar and a 9-piece band accompaniment.
The McMullan brothers were asked to audition for the television show, at which time they competed with about 50 others who played a mock version of the game.
BOTH MCMULLAN BROTHERS were chosen and they made their first TV debut at 9 p.m. Aug. 19, New York time.
The Video Village program is a quiz show that is played similar to the game of "Monopoly."
When asked how it felt to appear on a national TV show, Jim McMullan replied:
"I was surprised at how calm I
Council Proposes Educational TV
TOPEKA — (UPI) — An educational television network could be set up in Kansas for $6,752,877 and operated for two years for an additional $710,000, a legislative committee council was told today.
A team of consultants hired last February reported a statewide network could be operating within 18 months after appropriations are made for it.
The 109-page report recommended a network of six transmitters, suggesting they be located at Topeka Chanute, Garden City, Grainfield Hutchinson and Lincoln.
Regulations of the Federal Communications Commission require 190 miles between co-channel transmitters, the report said, which would make it necessary to move certain channels from locations to which they are now assigned, in order to fit them into a statewide network. The report said applications for permission to move the channels to the six suggested locations would have to be submitted to the FCC.

HIS FIRST RECORD which was made last year, had "Sylvie" on one side, and "I Get So Jealous" on the other.
"I was asked to audition for three Broadway musicals," ballad singer McMullan said, "but I had to refuse them so that I could complete my curriculum in architecture and graduate this year."
When asked about his plans after graduation, whether he will go into architecture or show business, McMullan answered:

BARBER SHOP
"I think that while I'm still young I'll give show business a try first. I still want to sing and act and travel I've have to settle down and mellow before I can do architecture justice," McMullan said.
AT THE UNIVERSITY Jim had the leading role in Eugene O'Neil's play, "Desire Under the Elms." He did a number of ballads at last year's Rock Chalk Revue, and sang ballads at the Poetry Hour in the Kansas Union.
