System Links Farmer And Expert
A unique communications
system being installed by
the University Agricultural
Extension Service will es
tablish a direct link be
tween Nebraska farmers
and agricultural experts at
the University.
The system is the first of
its type in the nation and
is expected by Dr. John L.
Adams, director of the Uni
versity Agricultural Exten
sion Service, to begin op
eration by Dec. 1.
INSTANT ADVICE
Under the new plan the
farmer is able to obtain in
stant advice from the Col
lege of Agriculture or the
Northeast Experiment Sta
tion at Concord directly
from his farm, Adams said.
The system, called the
Agricultural Extension
Communications System,
will be introduced first in
12 northeastern Nebraska
counties.
The area will be covered
by 12 mobile units operat
ing from ETV towers at
Norfolk and Mead.
EASILY SPREAD

use these towers, the sys

Mr. MacDougall, General Merchandise Manager for Nebraska Bookstore
states that "during the past year over 200,000 paperback books have been
purchased and shipped to the Lincoln, Nebraska location. This is in addition
to the normei large stock maintained in the paperback gallery, upper level
of the store. Thousands of these books are shipped to other stores through
cut the country. However, a large portion of these books are retained and
made available to the University of Nebraska students at greatly reduced
prices of 19c, 39c and reductions as hgh cs 75."
A sale is now in progress with thousands of books available at 39c each.
These books represent a fair number of the 43,300 paprback book titles
now in print.

easily throughout the state,"
Adams said.
The operation is now in
"installation of hardware"
phase, Adams said.
The system is an attempt
to "string together" the
county agent, the area ex
tension specialist and the
state specialist, he said.
Communication between
these specialists and t h e
farmer is now conducted
by telephone or mail.
Adams said that the tele
phone was too expensive
and mail was too slow.
The program is financed
by both the state and fed
eral government for $41,
000. FURTHER ADVICE
Under the new system
the farmer with an agricul
tural problem will first con
sult the county agent. If
the agent needs further ad
vice he will first contact
the Northeast Experiment
Station and they in turn
may contact the experts at
one of 12 stations at the
University, Adams ex
plained. Adams noted that Illinois

Budget
The expansion of the Uni
versity's closed circuit
television system has been
stalled as a result of a 90
cut in requested funds from
the 1967-69 budget, accord
ing to Jack McBride, direc
tor of University television.
The cut was made in the
Budget Committee of the
Legislature, leaving the
closed circuit operation with
about $25,000 of the $250.
000 it requested.
University television had
hoped to use the requested
funds to add several chan
nels for simultaneous use
and additional cable and re
ceivers to serve additional
classrooms. Instead, pro

gramming "will be limited
to the same amount done
last year," McBride said.
Currently, closed circuit
television is used to teach
some sections in economics,
elementary education and
electrical engineering and
in several Teachers' Col
lege projects.
"We had over 30 other
academic departments who
requested closed circuit pro
gramming," McBride said.
"Because of the cutback we
won't be able to satisfy any
of them."
But in 1965 as interest in
the program grew, it was
decided that closed circuit

The 1967 budget request
would have expanded the
cable system developed a
year ago, when the NU

that it provided a cable sys

is one of three major op
erations carried out by Uni
versity Television.
The largest is the opera
tion of Channel 12 (KUON
TV), which is a public ser
vice outlet for both the Ne

ion' Commission and the
University of Nebraska.
Also, it provides network
control services for the
Commission, performing the
scheduling and switching
functions to make Channel
12 programming available
to other stations and to the
statewide ETV network.
So make it a point to meet Alcoa's
recruiter. He's a confidence man
you can really trust.
