Eastern viewers will be pleased to hear the New York Board of Regents has planned a state-wide network of 11 educational TV sta- tions in which the resources of schools, colleges, libraries, mu- seums and art galleries would be used to provide special programs for children and adults. The plan will probably cause great controversy among those who believe in offering pro- grams that will "sell" easily and readily, which usually means subordination of the public welfare to the sponsor's welfare. However, it should serve to unite and give hope to those who believe communication media have a responsibility to give the public something more than the aver- age low grade inanity which oc- cupies a majority of the TV in- dustries time. A PROGRAM which has become increasingly more polished and in- teresting is "Introducing Poetry," heard from noon to 12:30 p.m. to- day over WHRV. It consists of a panel reading and discussing the works of ma- jor poets, both ancient and mo- dern. On the panel are three regular members; Prof. Marvin Felheim, Prof. Herbert Bar- rows, and Prof. William Stein- hoff, all of the University Eng- lish department, and also one other guest member who is an authority on the particular poet under consideration. Today the panel will read and unravel the mysteries of T. S. Eliot's poetry. Aside from being enjoyable this program is also an excellent way of painlessly pick- ing up a little knowledge. HENRY MORGAN has come up with a new TV show. You can never accuse Morgan of being stagnant. .this program, never- theless, has "old-type" skits and includes the usual line-up of co- medians, singers, and of course Girard. This program seems better suit- ed for television than his previous "talent scout" show. It's good amusement at 8:30 p.m. Friday on WWJ-TV. Union To Provide Sunda y Studyhall The Union will open Rooms 3- KLMN and 3RS as studyhalls to- day and next Sunday, according to Mark Oscherwitz, '53, Union staffman. Oscherwitz said that the move was made because of thehSunday closing of the General Library, *Rose Marie Reid * Sea Nymph .

Film rights had to be red. The problem of sound rding had to be solved. Mu- * * * a sic had to be written, and musi- cians recruited to play it. Ed Chudacoff, Grad., with ex- perience drawn f r o m writing scores for several campus drama- tic productions, as well as a num- ber of other instrumentaleand vo- cal compositions, agreed to write the background music for the film. At the moment, he is composing it for a seven piece orchestra, to be conducted by Ed Troupin. AFTER CONSIDERABLE search via letters, Hampton finally locat- ed the owner of the copyright on Kafka's story. It was thought at first that the 'rights were still with the Kafka estate in Czechoslova- kia, but they were eventually found to be held by a New York agency. An agreement was arrived at. .Paul Lohmann, sound engi- neer of radio station WPAG, of- * * * fered to tackle the job of get- ting accurate sound recording. Since he began working, the problem has shown itself to be one of the most difficult in- volved in the whole production. If production can be completed before the end of the semester, "Metamorphosis" will have its world premiere here within a month. If not, work will continue, and it will be released in the fall. "If we manage this," Hampton said, "it will be the first time a university group has ever done anything on this scale, though it is the universities which offer the finest opportunity for the exer- cise of student interest in films: ideas, enthusiasm, and a tremend- ous range of talent, along with complete freedom from the fami- liar restrictions of commercial films." Music Manuscripts To Be Exhibited The autographed manuscript of the first song published in the United States will be one of the features of an exhibit of rare mu- sic manuscripts to be held to- morrow at Clements Library. The exhibit, which is sponsored by local radio stations, is designed to outline the history of American music. It will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to noonrand from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow only. Radio Clinic Set For Tomorrow A radio broadcasting clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to 5:20 p.m. tomorrow in the Union Ballroom. More than ninety program di- rectors and station managers will attend the meeting sponsored by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. Programming, radio music, sales, copyrights, and other phases of broadcasting will be discussed. Medical Men To HearTalk Phi Rho Sigma, professional medical fraternity, will honor the late Dr. Roy Canfield with the third annual lecture in his mem- ory at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the second floor amphitheatre of the University Hospital. Giving the lecture will be Dr. Paul H. Holinger, a professor at the University of Illinois College'j of Medicine.
