RADIO AND TELEVISION

The University offers a broad and flexible program in radio and television leading to the Bachelor's and Master's degrees under the supervision of the Committee on Radio and Television. This work is based upon five goals: (1) To provide an opportunity for students to learn something about this vital medium which has such an impact on their lives, (2) to provide an opportunity for certain students to train for a vocation in the fields of radio-TV-film and related agencies, (3) to provide an opportunity for selected students to take advanced study with real specialization, (4) to utilize the medium in a constant investigation of ways in which it might be used to provide a better learning situation for the student, and (5) to broadcast selected programs of strong educational merit, intellectual entertainment, and general public relations value to students on the campus and to the larger public of the state of Kansas and the mid-west.

The University is a charter member of the Association for Professional Broadcasting Education. In addition, it holds membership in the National Association of Educational Broadcasters and the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System. The radio sequence has been fully accredited by the American Council on Education for Journalism.

An undergraduate student must take a "core curriculum" followed by additional courses in a special interest area. The four such areas are news, sales and management, performance and production. A student may also elect a "general" course of study above the core curriculum. It is recommended that a student interested in the first two sequences transfer to the School of Journalism at the Junior year; a student interested in the last two sequences should remain in the college. In either case, the major work is administered by the Radio and Television Committee. (The general major may be taken in either the College or School of Journalism.

All radio and television training is based upon a liberal arts background to the more professional courses of the field. Thus a student interested in television production is encouraged to take as much work in theatre and dramatic literature as possible. Following are two typical sequences of major study--one in production and the other in sales and management.

The University is well equipped to handle a training program in Radio and Television. Radio facilities consist of KDGU, the student station, KFKU (sharing time with WREN, Topeka), and KANU (FM). Laboratory facilities of television and film are housed in the basement of Hoch Auditorium, and consists of two television camera chains and double system sound recording for 16mm film.

Many students have the opportunity to gain valuable experience by taking part in the broadcasting activities of the Radio and Television area. They learn through such activities as announcing, writing, directing and acting in both live and filmed productions which are often broadcast by commercial stations.

KDGU is the first training experience for students. Transmitters are housed in seven dormitories and residents may receive the programs on their radios from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Friday. Any University student is eligible to take part in this broadcasting activity which is staffed by advanced students working under faculty supervision. Studios are located in Flint Hall.

KFKU, established in 1924, is an AM station, operating with 5,000 watts power on 1,250 kilocycles. The frequency is shared with WREN in Topeka. Currently KFKU is on the air from 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. and from 7:00 to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

KANU(FM), the most powerful station in Kansas, began broadcasting in September, 1952, with 35,000 watts of power at 91.5 megacycles. The station is on the air daily in the afternoon and evening. This station was presented as a gift to the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information by John P. Harris and S.F. Harris in 1950 in memory of their uncle, Fred M. Harris of Ottawa, for many years a member of the Board of Regents and at his death chairman of the Board. Studios are in the Engineering Experiment Station with the transmitter and tower located on University property southwest of the campus.

KFKU and KANU provide educational, cultural, and public service programs to listeners in homes, classrooms, and elsewhere in parts of Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Of particular interest are the "Jayhawk School of the Air" programs, designed for integration into elementary classroom work. The NAEB tape network provides programs from other campuses. News coverage is provided through press wire service and the School of Journalism. Quality recorded music is presented most hours of the broadcast day, and is supplemented by the broadcast of outstanding musical events originating on the campus.

The University currently prepares television programs in its own studio facilities for distribution to stations throughout the state. These programs are recorded on film. At time live programs are rehearsed in the television studios and taken to a commercial station for live broadcast.

This equipment is also used for experimentation in the continued development of techniques of good teaching. In such fashion the University pioneered the use of closed circuit television as a training device in its medical center in September, 1949. On November 29, 1951, color television was established in the center--the first such installation in the nation.

Program of Study. The student may elect to major in radio-TV-film either through the William Allen White School of Journalism or through the department of Speech and Drama (which is in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences). The programs of study are under the supervision of the Committee on Radio-Television-Film which is listed above.

The program through speech and drama is the most flexible in terms of required courses; it should be elected by those who are interested in RTVF production and performance, aesthetics, and film history. The program through journalism has two options and is more tightly structured; it should be elected by those interested in broadcast journalism, programming, sales, writing and management. Each program has its own core curriculum and set of requirements, as listed below.

The Graduate Program. A master's degree may be taken in RTVF, and it is possible to elect this field as a minor in the speech communications Ph.D. program or as one of the fields in the American studies Ph.D. Consult the catalog under the heading, "Radio-Television-Film."

The Physical Plant and Facilities. The television and film studio is equipped with vidicon camera chains, film and slide chains, videotape recorders, and both silent and sound 16mm film cameras. There is extensive equipment for single and double system editing, with full capability for mixing multiple sound tracks. Station KUOK is a carrier-current radio station, student-operated, b roadcasting programs to campus living areas. Stations KANU(FM) and KFKU are the University radio stations which carry programs to the people of Kansas. Students begin their radio work on KUOK and may continue with work at KANU or KFKU, especially in the areas of writing, news, documentary and production. Advanced students have the opportunity to produce programs on the local color cable system of the city and others are recorded for use on area stations. Advanced students also participate in the production of films which may be seen on television and elsewhere.

(Note: By this time there was also a separate catalog for the Graduate School. The RTVF section was on pages M86-87, and is copied below.)

Radio-Television-Film

Committee in charge of the program: Professors James Dykes, Bruce A. Linton, Chairman; Associate Professor Peter Dart, Assistant Professors Glenn Price, Leon Smith

Graduate work in radio-television-film leads to either the master of arts or master of science degree. Through coursework and thesis or final intensive project, it is possible to take a general program or to emphasize a specific area such as broadcast journalism or documentary film production.

Prerequisites for Graduate Standing. In addition to some undergraduate work in radio-television-film (or equivalent professional experience) the student should have a strong background in the liberal arts. Undergraduate academic experience normally would consist of an introductory course in history and theory of broadcasting, performance, writing, and laboratory experience in radio, film and/or television, as minimum requirements. Candidates who do not have an undergraduate degree in radio-television-film will be required to take undergraduate courses in radio-television-film which will not apply toward the hours required for either the master of arts or master of science degree. Therefore, a student with an undergraduate background other than radio-television-film could be in residence at Kansas University for two years. This is especially true if the candidate chooses to pursue the master of science degree.

Individual candidates may elect to emphasize film production as part of their degree programs; however, no student should come to the program primarily to "make films." The radio-television-film program is designed for students interested in the academics of broadcasting and mass communications.

The choice to pursue the master of arts degree or the master of science degree may be made during the candidate's first semester of graduate work, or as the candidate is enrolled in Radio-Television-Film 300 (Research Methods in Mass Communication). The candidate's program of graduate courses must be approved by his adviser and by the committee in charge of the program.

Further procedural requirements pertaining to schedules, comprehensive examination, etc., are outlined in the departmental pamphlet "Procedures for Graduate Students in Radio-Television-Film."

Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts. All candidates must complete:

(1) 30 hours of graduate work including:

RTVF 300 (6 hours) Research Methods in Mass Communication

RTVF 333 (3 hours) Broadcasting, Film and the Public

and either

Spch 178 (3 hours) Advanced Television Production and Directing

or

Spch 275 (3 hours) Advanced Film Production

(2) A written thesis; a thesis proposal must be approved by the committee in charge of the RTVF

program before enrolling in RTVF 340, Thesis. The candidate must have a grade of

A or B in RTVF 340 in order to graduate.

(3) An oral examination.

It is recommended that the master of arts program be taken by all students interested in (1) a general program, (2) communication research, (3) eventual teaching, or (4) eventual work toward a PhD. degree. The candidate for the master of arts degree may be required to take other courses as part of the graduate program. Such courses would depend on the thesis topic and on the candidate's undergraduate or professional experience.

Requirements for the Degree Master of Science. All candidates must complete:

(1) 32 hours of graduate work including:

RTVF 300 (6 hours) Research Methods in Mass Communication

RTVF 333 (3 hours) Broadcasting, Film and the Public

Spch 178 (3 hours) Advanced Television Production and Directing

and either

Spch 275 (3 hours) Advanced Film Production

or

RTVF 306 (3 hours average) Special Problems in Television and Film Production

(2) An intensive project; a written proposal for the intensive project must be approved by the

committee in charge of the radio-television-film program before the candidate enrolls

in RTVF 339, Intensive Project Seminar. The candidate must earn the grade of A or B

in RTVF 339 in order to graduate.

(3) An oral examination.

The candidate's program of graduate courses must be approved in writing by his adviser and by the committee in charge of the radio-television-program.

It is recommended that the master of science program be taken by all students interested in: (1) specific techniques and advanced knowledge in planning and preparation of advertising campaigns, news, documentary, or dramatic programs; non-theatrical motion pictures; and television or film production; (2) a degree leading to pre-professional work in commercial or educational television or film.

The following courses apply to the program. (All radio-television-film courses which also carry undergraduate credit are listed as either journalism or speech and drama; the graduate-only courses are not listed under journalism or speech and drama, but they may be taken by students in these departments if they have the proper prerequisites.
