With the granting ot a construc-tion
permit for North Carolina's
(irsl non-commercial television sta-tion
by the Federal Communica-tions
Commission. State College.
The Woman's College, and the
University at Chapel Hill have
launched a vast new enterprise
in educational service to the peo-ple
ot North Carolina—WUNC-TV,
Channel 4.
Television from the Consolidated
University will not take the air
until the fall of 1954. but already
the three institutions are beginning
to ready themselves for what many
believe to be the most significant
development In education since
the Invention of the printing press.
More than a million dollars has
been donated to provide the requi-site
equipment and operational
funds for WUNC-TV. "The fore-sightedness
and farsightedness of
some of North Carolina's leading
citizens and business organizations
have made this significant educa-tional
service possible. Through the
efforts of our three faculties, we
shall be able to take education to
the people of North Carolina In
a way which has never before been
possible", said Gordon Gray. Pres-ident
of the Consolidated Univer-sity.
Debt of Gratitude
"Our first debt of gratitude Is
owed to the Jefferson Standard
Foundation, which made possible
all of our early conferences and
experiments in television and now
is contributing to the equipment
and operational fund; our second
debt is to other North Carolina
broadcasters, who counselled Witt
us and encouraged us to build a
ti levitton station; and finally, we
are indebted to thoM generous
elllRIM and Organizations who arc
making possible the construction
of WUNC-TV and Its first two
years of telecasting, particularly
The Burlington Mills Foundation.
Mr. and Mrs. John Motley More-head
and The Fund for Adult El-ucalion."
Behind the Scenes
The University's move into edu-cational
television was made only
after considerable study. Last June,
shortly after the Federal Commun-ications
Commission made educa-tional
channels available, 150 deans
and directors of the three faculties
met In Chapel Hill for a 2-day
conference To give the present
picture of television, a group ol
experts—including the chairman of
the Federal Communications Com-mission
and the President of the
American Council on Education—
was called in to address the con-
Spanish Night Dials
Twirl South To Give
Varied Entertainment
A television screen over twelve
feet wide—this Is what Spanish
Nighters offer as more than ade-quate
competition for the tele-vision
room in Elliott Hall Every-one
is invited to the Library Lec-ture
Hall on October 22. when,
beginning at 7:15 p. m, the dials
will twirl to bring to the campus
of Woman's College an exciting
list of programs from Spain and
many countries south of the Rio
Grande. Let's take a look at the
schedule.
Mrs. Ligia Hunt will conduct
"Cow", featuring the superb voices
of Spanish 101 students.
Ronlna e» trull, produced by
Miss Cutting and starring Jean

gives her rendition of "Chapae-necas"
as the final number in thli
"Evening of Television "
ference and to serve as consultants
for the smaller groups.
Chancellor Edward K. Graham
of the Woman's College, presiding
at the opening session, set the mood
of the conference by saying: "This
il a seminar—not a rally."
The conference concluded that
television presented a challenge
and an opportunity; that It was
"desirable for the University to
own and operate a station"; and!
that there "was an excellent avail- j
ability of tprograml resources" in
the University.
Recommendation was made that
an All-University Advisory Coun-|
cil be appointed to make a detailed
study and specific recommenda-tions.
This was done.
Under the direction of the TV
Council, as it came to be known, a
of experimental television
programs was undertaken and a 92-
page study prepared. On the basis
of this study, conferences with
North Carolina broadcasters, con-sultation
with the presidents of
national networks, and the advice
of Governor Umstead's Commis-sion
on Educational Television, the
present plan of action was adopted.
Facilities for WUNC-TV
Facilities will Include complete
studios on the State College cam-pus,
The Woman's College cam-pus,
and at the University In Chapel
Hill In addition, a mobile unit
will produce on-the-spot telecasts
from experimental farms, legisla-tive
halls, sports fields, special

The Class of '54 went to the polls
■lay to choose the eight out-standing
wearers of the green Jac-ket
and top May Day participants.

of distinguished service to the Coll-:
ege. outstanding seniors who will
rate a full page In Pine Needles

Brown maid of honor.
The campus at large will select
other attendants to the queen in

Beginning with a chapel skit and
ending with a Faculty Talent Show,
Service League's annual Campus
Purse Drive, with agoal of $4.-
000. will run from October 20 to
October 29. During t his time, resi-dence
hall representatives will con-tact
students personally, asking
them to give as much to the Purse
Drive as they can possibly afford.
This is the only time during the
school year ulim students have the
chance to contribute to welfare for
needy persons In the Unfted States
and abroad. Including fellow stu-dents.
Hope To Reach Goal
For the past three years the goal
set for the Campus Purse Drive has
not been met, but this year Chair-man
Becky Freeman Ind the staff
hope that we can reach It, and per-haps
even surpass it. The total goal
of the 1953 Purse Drive Is $4,000.
and each hall has an individual goal
based upon the number of students
living In it.
Funds Distributed
All of this money Is utilized to
help persons less fortunate than
ourselves. Thirty per cent goes to
the foreign student "who comes to
Woman's College campus each year,,
for the purpose of furthering inter-national
understanding. Twelve per'
cent goes to CARE, which provides'
food, books, and medical supplies
to war-torn countries. Another 25
per cent is allotted to the World |
University Service, whose aim is
to improve students' conditions all
over the world, and which has al-

Dr Lyda Gordon Shivers, chair-man

on Evaluation, states that
the complete statistical analysis
will be available by December 1
This will consist of graphs, charts,
and figures Indicating relationships
between a students characteristics
and the ratings she tends to give
faculty. It will show such things
as qualities students consider es-sential
in an instructor in each of
the fields of social sciences, hu-manities,
and natural sciences; dif-ferences
in ratings given by fresh-men
and seniors; differences in
qualities expected by students of
different academic standing and
general faculty standing in relation
to what students would like to. ate,
as expressed on the rating ques-tionnaire.
Early reports show that the
