The following story of the Uni
versity of Nebraska radio Btation,
written by Robert F. Craig, 24, Law
27, announcer, appears in the" De
cember issue of The Nebraska
Alumnus just issued:
"This is the University of Ne
braska at Lincoln; the voice of the
Cornhusker."
Since the inauguration of the larg
est radio broadcast program of any
educational institution in the United
States the "call of the Cornhuskers"
is becoming a familiar sound to the
ears of radio listeners in all parts
of the continent The University
of Nebraska ia now following an ex
tensive educational and musical
broadcasting schedule from especial
ly equipped studios using radiophone
KFAB (340.8) 1000 watt station at
Lincoln. The studios were formally
introduced to the radio public on
September 23, 1925. Since that
time the University has been "on the
air" five times daily, four days each
week and special periods are some
times filled on the odd days. .
The bulk of the programs are
broadcasted from the main studio in
the southeast corner of the Adminis
tration building on the second floor.
The studio is thoroughly modern in
construction with excellent acoustic
properties and is well equipped with
microphones, musical intruments and
other paraphernalia necessary for the
broadcasting of programs. A mo
dern sub-studio has been erected in
Ag. Hall on the campus of the Col
lege of Agriculture. Programs from
the Ag. studio are controlled from
the announcer's station on the main
campus. During football season the
games were broadcasted from a spe
cial sound-proof booth erected in
the press box of the Memorial Stadium.
Ij Many Acknowledgements
Hundreds of Nebraska "grads"
I ! have acknowledged the programs
from the University studio since the
' new broadcasting system has been
. in operation. "Fan letters" have
been received from every state in
, the Union. A score of Canadian
I listeners have enjoyed the Nebraska
programs on the air and one card
I has been received from the south
' east corner of Cuba. The range of
.station KFAB in the early evening
hours is extensive and due to careful
i station management and efficient
i operators the programs have been
reported clear with no fading when
; ever heard at remote points,
i The plan of broadcasting programs
is ambitious and in keeping with the
modern trend of communication.
Through the University of .Nebraska
Studios the listeners are receiving
the finest type of educational pro
grams worked out for variety and
timeliness. Musical talent of thjc
highest type is available from the
student body and among the accred
ited instructors to the University.
Each program is carefully prepared
after careful experimentation and
testing the efficiency of the micro
phone in the reproduction of differ
ent types of music and dramatic
work.
Special Education Program!
Special emphasis is laid on the
arrangement of education programs.
From the College of Agriculture spe
cial courses are broadcast without
credit. These "Farming by Wire
less" periods at at 10:30 in the morn
ing on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes
day and Friday and at 8:05 on Mon
day and Wednesday evenings. The
majority of morning periods are de
viated to Home Economics lectures
for the benefit of the housewives.
Fall, winter and spring bring new
varieties of problems to the farm
dwellers and the agricultural pro
grams are molded accordingly.
"Three . o'clock each afternoon
brings the listeners in contact with
English, political science, sociologi
cal and art and music talks from
the University studio.' These sub
jects will be varied from time to
time as each department in the Uni
versity is to take its turn in the
preparation of the mid-afternoon
educational periods.
Tuesday evening is "University
night." The studio is on the air from
8:05 until 10:30. Music and dra
matic work is the order of this pro
gram which is designed purely for
the entertainment of the listeners.
Early in November a radio corres
pondence course was established with
an allowance of two hours extension
credit for satisfactory completion of
the work. The course is conducted
by Maurice Weseen and a substan
tial number of students have accept
ed the radio method of gaining in
formation and education. The musi
cal entertainment is furnished from
a variety of sources. Students and
faculty are utilized for the studio
musical programs while the band,
orchestra, glee club and quartet are
worked in for he larger ensemble
numbers.
An office force is maintained in
the preparation of the programs and
in responding to the "fan" letters
which flood the studio at the rate of
thirty to fifty a Tiay. During the
day announcer "T. C. D." talks to
"Mike" in the corner station. "T.
C. D.' 'is Theodore C. Diers of
Seward.
To Prof. A. A. Reed of the Uni
versity Extension Department goes
the credit of establishing an educa
tional feature of great value to the
high school students. Under hi3
direction a special high school con
vocation has been established at 1:15
consisting of five minutes of music
and a ten minute talk by some
speaker of value to students. Eliza
beth Tierney of the School of Fine
Arts is in charge of the musical num
bers. Gives Weather Report '
Weather reports, road reports and
special announcements find their
way to the world of interest about
9:S0 each morning. At this time
news of interest about the Univer
sity, student ' activities, athletic
events and faculty news is detailed
to the listeners.
The old Nebraska University sta
tion WFAV has been relegated to the
use of the Engineering college for
experimental use only.
KFAB is being used by the Uni
versity of Nebraska through the
Nebraska Buick Automobile Comp
any, and through its 1000 watt trans
mitter, alumni of the Cornhusker in
stitution will have no trouble in get
ting in touch with the Alma Mater
any Tuesday evening of tho year.

ment. Acknowledgements from tho
