THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, APRIL ?4,1957 THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 19~7 V WRITER, PRODUCER: Slote Claims 'Birds-Eye View' of 'U' By SARAH DRASIN "A real birds-eye view of a great University," is what Alfred Slote gets in his Job as writer-producer for the University television stu- ios. Slote Is a University graduate, Phi Beta Kappa recipient, major Hopwood winner, Fulbright schol- ar, novelist and teacher. His wife, Henrietta Slote, is also a major Hopwood winner, Fulbright scholar and novelist. "The activity at this studio Is simply amazing," he remarked. "During a week, one nas a chance to work with the Stanley Quartet, people from aerodyxamics or mathematics, a progra:. on psy- chological or healt" problems." "The scope of this job," he add- ed, "makes it a continually won- derful exp ience." Last August Coming here last August from three years of teaching English at Williams College, Slote noted that his job is a bit different from his last one. "University television Is an edu- cational institution," Slote ex- plains. "My job here is primarily to work with faculty and help them project to the television au- cience." "Trying to get a message across to a small class is a far cry from speaking to two or three million people which is often our ultimate viewing audience. I try to help them say what they want to say in the best way possible," he add- ed. "What we try to do here," Slote continued, "is to 'bring the Uni- versity to the people. There are many who just cannot come to college, but whom we can get to through television." Large Variety of Subjects Slote noted the large variety of subject matter he has covered since August. "I started out with a 15-week marriage series," he stated, "moved to the state capitol for another series, and we've just finished doing a series on France for which we traveled to the U.N. in New York." "We covereverything here from mother-in-law problems to guber- natorial problems," he commented smilingly. The University set-up is not a sending studio, Slote emphasized, but programs ae filmed and sent out to be used on educational or commercial stations. They are also used, he noted, as audio-visual educational aids. Students Play Large Part University students also play a large part in the studio opera- tions, Slote explained. All techni- cians, cameramen, floor assistants and junior production people are students. Every Monday and Friday, speech classes take over the studio. "So you see," Slote says, "the stu- dent also plays a large part in our operations here." "As far as quality goes," Slote continued, "speaking strictly as a newcomer in the TV field, I would say that the quality of our films is far superior to that of other college studios. I would even say that they are often better than network pro- ductions." With all this enthusiasm for Conference To Discuss Honor Plan The literary college Steering Committee will hold a conference to discuss the implications of the newly established Honors Council at 3 p.m. Thursday, May 2 in the Hussey Room in the League. Students and faculty members participating in honors programs are invited to the meeting. Three faculty members will de- scribe the function and aims of the Council. Informal discussion will follow. Students interested in petition- ing for the Steering Committee are also invited to attend. Deadline for the petitions is May 6. Kerr Takes 10-Day Trip To Thailand Prof. Kerr of the engineering college leaves today for a ten-day visit to Thailand. At the request of the Interna- tional Cooperation Administra- tion, he will help thex Thailand government prepare a combined research and training program in the field of nuclear engineering. The proposal will then be sub- mitted to the U.S. for support un- der the Atoms for Peace program. q member of the faculty advis- ory committee in Michigan's grad school program in nuclear engi- neering, Prof. Kerr will also sur- vey - thailand's personliel in scien- tific resources for work in that field. r iA I" e I I 11 MICHIGAN DAILY CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING RATES REAL ESTATE THE BUTTS & SWISHER REALTORS CO.

Slote, a Uni- versity gr duate, was a major Hopwood winner, Phi Beta Kappa recipient, and Fulbright scholar. television production, Slote admits that he has another love-writing. He has published two novels since 1953, "Denham Proper," a portrait of a family, and "Lazarus in Vien- na," a story of post-war Vienna. The latter has just been trans- lated into Spanish. The young author gained a great deal of experience here at the Uni- versity where he majored in Eng- lish, received his master's degree' and worked as a teaching fellow in English. As a major Hopwood winner in Buis Company J Makes Profit In First Week In its first week of formal op- eration, the Ann Arbor Transit, Inc., found itself "in the black," according to John W. Rae, com- pany co-ordinator. Although the margin appears small, there was a return of $21.95, Rae reported. This resulted after payments of more than $125 to each driver and a $189 payment on a bank loan. The company is still in need of stock subscriptions, Rae said, and checks are being accepted. These subscriptions are needed, he con- tinued, to enable the firm to re- duce the outstanding loan amount. Rae also announced that a cur- rent plan is in effect to deter- mine the extent of patronage on Route four which servs the ex- treme southeast section of Ann Arbor. A one-hour service during the day is being tried on that route. 1949, Slote studied with Roy Cow- den whom he termed, "certainly one of the finest teachers of Writ- ing in the country." Upon gradua- tion, he spent several years in Europe, one on a Fulbright schol- arship studying comparative liter- ature. "I had never really considered television writing and producing before," Slote states. "The only work I had done in this field was as a student here when I wrote radio plays as a sort of 'comic relief' from my 'heavier responsi- bilities'." "I certainly enjoyed it," Slote went on, "and Garnet Garrison, director of . University television, remembered me. He wrote and asked if I would be interested in 'this young adventure of educa- tional television', and I took the opportunity." . Greatly Worthwhile "It's certainly a far cry from teaching the 'Aeneid', or 'Paradise Lost', Slote noted, "and greatly worthwhile. But perhaps someday, even 'Paradise Lost' will find its way onto educational television." Slote leaned earnestly forward. "I believe very deeply that the University has a mission which they can fulfill through television - a mission of bringing good things to people." "Sure it has its limitations," Slote continued. "It's not going to solve all the problems of the world." "But," he added, "here is an opportunity for people seriously interested in idealistic rather than commercial writing. Here is an opportunity for people with a little culture, knowledge and good taste and a sincere interest in doing something worthwhile."
