DIVERSE APPLICATIONS:
U' Colleges Experiment
In Clo sed-Circuit TV Use

City Panel Approves School Contract Talks
Public Housing Sites v.eu No Settlements

By WALLACE IMMEN
and RICHARD HERSTEIN
Television serves as a unique
teaching aid in higher education
today, and the University is pion-
eering in its use.
The use of a closed circuit sys-
tem in'the Law School, the zoology
department and especially in the
medical center have been greatly
expanded since the first sets were
installed in a medical school lec-
ture hall nine years ago.
The University operation, fi-
nanced almost exclusively by pri-
4vate grants and donations, con-
tinues to serve as a model for other

of professional quality. Of twleve
cameras in operation, two are
color; one is located in the studio
adjoining control center and an-.
other remote controlled camera
peers down onto the operating'
table in an operating room. The
black and white cameras are in-
stalled in various lo c a t ion s
throughout the medical complex.
Though the equipment is there,
live operations are seldom telecast.
This is because lecturers have
found that television's greatest ad-
vantage lies in showing minute
details to a large number of stu-
dents. Color, too is of secondary
importance since only about 30 per

al production and repairmen to!
keep the system in operation.
However, a strong stomach, asw
well as good reflexes, seem to bej
the time requirements of a good
technician. Sometimes during par-
ticularly "gorey" operations, TV
center technicians have fainted
and spoiled the tape.
Looking towards the future,
Judge predicts a relative leveling
off of the rate of use of television.
He explains that expanded use of
television will not occur because it
is already in use by all depart-
ments as much as they wish to
use it.

CRLT officials. The focus will be
on learning by doing, rather than
on tedious lectures on background

Under the direction of Prof.
George L. Geis, CRLT research
associate, workshop members will
be encouraged to write program-

tors failed to reach a settlement
before then.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Mary Ellen
Riordan, president of the Detroit
Federation of Teachers set today
for a teacher voteon the question
of binding arbitration.
At a rally of some 1,500 teachers
Friday in Detroit, she praised
teachers for "sticking together like
teachers have never done before."
"Give us your recommendation,"
shouted one teacher.
"We will discuss union matters
in a union hall," she answered,
She declined to predict the out-
come of today's vote. However, a
member of the teacher bargaining
team, predicted the proposal would
be rejected.
Teachers have been seeking a
$1,200 increase in pay, to $7,000,
and a 38-week work year. The
board has offered $6,400 (and) a
39-week year. Under the old con-
tract for a 40-week year, starting
teachers with a bachelor's degree
earned $5,800 to a maximum of
$9,500 after 12 years.
In New York City, Mayor John
V. Lindsay canceled an out-of-
town speech yesterday to be on
hand for a possible break in a
week-old teachers' strike which
has short-circuited classes for that
city's 1.1 million public school
pupils.
New talks between, the. Board
of Education and the 49,000-
member AFL-CIO United Federa-
tion of Teachers resumed in a
midtown hotel, with Vincent D.
McDonnell, chairman of the State
Mediation Board, present.
The teachers demand higher
pay, smaller classes, power to oust
"disruptive children," and a bet-
ter program for slum children.
They rejected an offer which the
board said amounted to $125 mil-
lion in pay raises over two years,
but did not include the policy
demands.
The board has kept schools
open, using supervisors and volun-
teers to fill in for the striking
teachers. Attendance by pupils
fell daily until it was about a
third of normal on Friday.

In writing their own materials,
participants will be expected first
to analyze the material to be
taught and write a sequence of
learning frames, or question-and-
answer units. Opportunities will
then be provided to test their
frames on the workshop editors,
and later on student subjects.
Feedback from these tests will
enable members to evaluate and
re-design their mateials for more
effective results.
