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.
