University May J
Have To Stop
Radio Service
The possibility that the University
of Nebraska will be forced to aban
don all its extension service activ
ities by radio is seen by A. A. Reed,
director of the extension service, in
the reassignment of wave lengths
recently announced by the national
radio commission.
In the redistribution of wave
lengths and broadcasting periods,
station KFAB, through which the
University broadcasts, has- been or
dered to divide its time equally with
KOIL. This means that the Uni
versity loses all its former broad
casting periods and is allowed these
periods instead: 9 to 10 a. m. Mon
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fri
day; 2:30 to 3 o'clock on the same
days; 8:30 to 9 p. m. Thursday.
Time and Expense Not Justified
But the time and expense in
volved in broadcasting in these pe
riods would not be justified, accord
ing to Mr. Reed, and unless a new
wave length is granted the Univer
sity by the national commiacicn, all
radio extension service will be
abandoned.
Tbe University has applied for
such a change in wave length. This
would allow its programs to be
broadcast over a different wave
length from that used by KFAB in
its own programs. The national
commission's revisions go into effect
December 1.
The University was one of the
first educational institutions in
America to turn to radio in its ex
tension service, and Prof. Maurice
H. Weseen was the first instructor
to give a credit course by radio. He
has been giving a combined radio
