TV in review
By Rick Du Brow HOLLYWOOD UPI—How effective would any of the three major television networks be if they were not interconnected on a coast-to-coast basis, and were unable to schedule programs on a uniform time-table? Hie answer is so obvious that It requires little elaboration. They would collapse quickly as business, distributing and production organizations because of an inability to register sufficient Impact to remain major. How, then, can anyone expect the planned non - commercial public television service—whose nucleus is the national educational video system—to succeed in a major way unless it is interconnected? The answer here, too, is obvious. It will not succeed in a major way, with national impact, unless there is a basic system of interconnection. The difference, however, is that while the commercial networks are solidly entrenched in their present method of operation, the public television service almost certainly faces defeat in its hope for national interconnection, unless a miracle occurs. The hearings on public television cannot help but illuminate how forces are aligned. First of all, the Carnegie Commission report has won instant favor over the Ford Foundation proposals with the commercial broadcasters and their allies because they do not want any part of competition with noncommercial video. Some cynics at the networks have suggested that commercial television would like a public affairs competitor because it would mean that the so-called do-gooders could relieve the three big networks of having to devote much time to documentaries, news and the like. This, of course, is so much patent nonsense. They don’t look forward to overall competition, period. When the Carnegie and Ford plans were first introduced, the networks issued cautious statements welcoming the public television idea. They wore undoubtedly honest statements, and they could hardly knock do-gooders, but they also subtly made clear they wanted to brush off Ford’s Ideas of interconnection and pave the way for Carnegie’s emphasis on beefing up local non-commercial television. The formal hearings on the public video plans cannot help hut indicate even more strongly the antipathy among commercial interests toward interconnection of non-commercial television on a big basis. As it stands now National Education Television has no real national Impact to offer the top talent Furthermore, it is poor beyond belief—and a lack of interconnection is a large reason. Any businessman with com-
mon sense knows you cannot expect too many people to give up what they are doing profitably in Order to improve the public lot There must be realistic enticements to attract top talent journalistic as well as theatrical. And that is one very big reason Why interconnection is the only way public video can truly succeed as a major operation, sad Why commercial interests are against it
Summer time is reading time
Now that summer vacation is here, this might be a good time to begin a new reading program and discover for ourselves the pleasure to be found in the fascinating world of books. Many of us when starting on a vacation trip, slip a few paper-back books into the suitcase to read on the plane or at odd times during the journey. Or, if we cannot take a trip around the world, we may find that books for arm-
chair travel provide a pleasant substitute. This recalls a rhyme which seems appropriate at this season: “O for a book and a shady nook, Either Indoors or out, With green leaves whispering overhead And bird songs all about. So I may read there at my ease, Both of the new and old. An enthralling book whereon to look Is better to me than gold.”
The General Federation of Women’s Clubs has sponsored a national honorary society, Epsilon Sigma Omicron, which is intended to encourage women to read systematically. In Indiana this reading program is administered in cooperation with Indiana University, which compiles and distributes lists of suggested reading. Any woman who wishes to participate may purchase one of these lists from the Extension Division of Indiana University. For each book read a given number of points are assigned (usually 10 or 15). A review of each book is sent to
the Extension Division. When 140 points have been accumulated, the University awards a certificate. After four certificates have been earned, the reader becomes a member of Epsilon Sigma Omicron, and is eligible to wear the pin. If on the average you read and review just one of the suggested books each month for 10 or 12 months, you would in all likelihood be eligible for a certificate. Many of these books may be found in the Public Library. The reading lists cover a wide range of subjects—includ-
ing art, music, drama, literature, travel, biography and many other topics. For example, one who is interested in gardening may obtain a list of books on this subject. One list issued annually consists of outstanding books published during the past year. The courses are suited to women with all degrees of education and varied interests. If there are ten women who wish to read for credit, they may form an E. S. O. Reading Group as pledges. Groups may be formed as part of an already established club. If there
are not enough member* to form a group, individuals may read independently. Anyone who wishes to have further iiu formation about these reading programs may send a stamped self-addressed envelope to P. O. Box 363. Greencastle, Ind. Books will broaden our horizons, and reading will give ua an insight into other live* !R addition to our own. It la true, as the verse says: “Books are keys to wisdom’* treasure, Books are gates to land* *f pleasure; Books are friends. Coma, 1*1 us read!”
