This policy is retro active to cover all living retired academic employees* 30. XJ1 m The following report of the Special Committee on Television is presented with the endorsement of the Administrative Group: It is the unanimous opinion of the corcmittee that the development of television as. a medium of mass communication confronts Michigan State College with the obligation to train students for employment in the field, and with interesting opportunities to improve its educational services to students and to the people of Michigan as well. It is recommended that steps be taken immediately to develop an energetic program of activity in television at Michigan State College. It is the opinion of the committee that the follow ing activities, as a minimum, should be included in the overall program: Lease on Catherine' Black ^ouse renewed for one year. Emeritus rank approved for retired academic personnel - Report of special Committee on Television A. Teaching 1. In engineering (Department of Electrical Engineering) 2. Television production (Department of Speech, Dramatics and Radio Education) S. Research 1. Television as a classroom and laboratory teaching medium, and audio-visual a i a. 2. The techniques of p r e s e n t a t i on by t e l e v i s i on C. Extension 1.- Agricultural and home economics 2. Adult education generally D. Public Relations •The committee agrees that the beginning should be a modest one, and that planning^ should be sufficiently flexible to enable us to adjust to new technical developments. Specific recom mendations to accomplish the results considered to be immediately advisable are: A. Construction of a modest TV studio. After an examination of all available space, the committee recommends the remodeling of a space on the fifth floor of the Electrical^ Engineering Building at a cost of approximately $5000. This space is easily accessible, would provide room for one small live studio and control room, would make available for cooperative use some equipment now in place, and would lend itself well to research in the" use of television as an audio-visual aid. Disadvantages include lack of facilities for makeup and scenery and prop construction. B. Purchase and installation of equipment sufficient to operate a production center, and to make film recordings for release over other than local commercial stations. Cost of such equipment is estimated at approximately $9^»625. plus installation costs, purchase of viewing receivers, etc. Total cost would approximate $100,000. All this equipment would be essential if we were to attempt television transmission. To place a TV station on the air would require the expenditure of an additional $70,000 to $80,000, it is estimated. C. Preparations to apply to the federal Communications Commission for a television broad casting license as soon as the current ban on new applications is lifted. These prepara tions would include preparation of required forms, and discussions with FCC engineers. D.

The research projects listed above would be particularly valuable to our staff and faculty members who are almost totally unfamiliar with TV techniques.
