? REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONCERNING THE MEETING WITH DR. CLIFFORD
# ERICKSON, DEAN OF THE CHICAGO CITY JUNIOR COLLEGE AND PAST DIRECTOR OF
THE EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION PROGRAM FOR THE CHICAGO JUNIOR COLLEGES.
Dr. Erickson was employed as a consultant to the Junior College
District of St. Louis - St. Louis County, Missouri for the purpose of discussing the possibility of entering into an educational television program with Television Station KETC. The following points were discussed:
1. Educational Facilities Laboratory, New Rochelle, New York
This laboratory is sponsored by the Ford Foundation and gives grants in the development of architectural plans to meet new educational problems. It is possible that we might apply for such a grant as it relates to the planning of our campuses for the use of educational television.
Dr. Erickson suggested that we might work out a program which would lead to the granting of some $50,000 to be paid to consultants in the field of architectural planning for both open and closed circuit television. Although many of our programs, in fact most of them, would be taped at the Television Station itself, it is still conceivable that we would want certain facilities on campus whereby tapes could be made.
In addition to this, we would want to have consideration given to the wiring of our building for multiple channel use. This kind of development at the early stages would prevent unnecessary backtracking once the building was completed.
2. Administration of the Program
It was agreed that the courses, content and selection of teachers, as well as the production of the content, must be the responsibility of the College itself. This was agreed to by all present, including,
Dr. Erickson, Mr. Boyd Fellows, Director of Television Station KETC, and myself.
It was further agreed that the Station responsibility would include, the provision of facilities, the direction of the program, much of the art work, all of the mechanics, etc. Dr. Erickson emphasized that a clear-cut delineation of responsibilities must be made prior to any agreement. There was no disagreement among the three of us on any of these points.
3. Public Relations Period
It was emphasized by Dr. Erickson that there should be a period of i. time devoted to public relations which would inform the public of the educational television programs to be scheduled, If this is not done, it is highly probable that the credit part of the program
; £ | will fail.
It was suggested that a series of telecasts introducing the College to the community be commenced in the Spring Semester. These telej casts might include such items as: progress reports, introduction
[, of certain stafjF members, discussion of curriculum development,

- page 2 -
^ ^ policy decisions, etc. However, it was also pointed out that in this introduction of staff members and use of staff members, that no commitment to teachers be na.de
which might in the long run prove to be misleading.
Over and over again, it was emphasized that successful television programs in the field of education demanded outstanding teachers, and that each teacher who would be used on a television program, should be given a period c-f tryout, where he could see himself, and those responsible for the program could,also, see him in action, before commitments were made.
4. Selection of Teachers
Each teacher, who is selected for educational television should, as previously noted, be auditioned on closed circuit T.V. Those teachers to be considered, should be given a thorough in-service evaluation of their work and that, where possible, this same type of evaluation would be made available to other members of the teaching staff. It v/as found that in the past certain teachers thought they could do the job and found they couli not. In other cases, teachers who proved to be imminently successful, were frightened of the possibility. In other cases, teachers who thought the whole television idea was simply a device to downgrade education, found otherwise.
Dr. Erickson suggested that one of the best ways of finding teachers who could do the job adequately, was through recommendations from peers. In many instances, die most outstanding television teachers did not apply themselves buc were recommended by fellow teachers.
5. Contract Between the Statior. and the College District
This contract would be developed in several parts as follows: a. Indoctrination period which would probably be the coming semester and, perhaps, summer, b. Auditioning c. Instructional Presentation d. Promotional Telecast e. Remaking and Up-dating f. Repeating a Telecast g. Art Work and Staging of Facilities
It should be agreed here which the College or the Station is responsible for, in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

6. Costs
Chicago is now paying $22,500 per month for ten months, a total of
$225,000. This includes the use of educational television for two semesters, with a total of 52 one-half hour programs per week. These programs are broken down as follows: a. 15 of the programs per week are live and are tape recorded at the same time. The other 37 programs are all taped. b. The cost includes four promotional telecasts before each program. c. About one in 50 of the programs have to be redone and this is included in the costs. d. Certain other mechanical problems which have not yet been worked out with the station, but which are now in the process of developmental definitions. So far there has not been any particular problem between the station and the junior colleges, since both have been working these out throughout the past five years and there is a great amount of goodwill which takes care of some of the minor problems.
7. The unit cost for television education was considerably higher at first, amounting to $750 per full time student where the regular program at that time was costing about $540. However after four yeai
% s, the costs about equalized, and during the past year, the cost of educational television on the credit program was less than the regular day program.
This did not take into account the large number of people who were viewing the programs and were not interested in college credit.
This is considered by the Chicago people to be their bonus program, and really is in a large measure a public relations device and an adult education device. Students may view these programs without cost. It is exactly the same thing as students taking adult education courses for their own benefit where credit is not of interest.
8. The credit television students are treated identically with the regular students. This applies to registration, testing, admission requirement fees, etc. Non-credit students may, if they wish, purchase all related materials, such as, the books which are developed to go along with the television broadcast.
9. Chicago has experimented with the use of these television programs in the classroom itself. It was pointed out that this requires
; very careful scheduling, and, in general, has consisted of two television broadcasts for one discussion period. These are for
=;,; the three hour classes. For those classes having more hours, hi ^^' a similar ratio has been adopted.
> ) 10. Dr. Erickson recommended that if St. Louis is interested in moving
';; into this, that a very careful calendar be developed in which the faculty would be involved and in which a definite decision will be made to go into educational television. If the faculty knew that v i ' •

- page 4 m this was going to happen when they came on to the staff, it would solve a lot of problems that Chicago had to face.
Dr. Erickson recommended that the St. Louis Junior College faculty be used as much as possible, but that no commitments be made until faculty members were definitely able to do the type of work involved.
If the in-coming faculty members knew that they might be used in educational television, it might also make a difference in the type of employees recommended for the district. A very important point emphasized was that we should start with our strength and not with anything that we did not consider top rate, in order to get the public to accept this program, and the faculty, as well, the programs must be outstanding.
It was suggested that, perhaps, we might bring someone down from
Chicago, either on a year*s leave or on a commute basis to put on our first programs. The discussion here took the line of the advisability of having one program scheduled this coming spring and, maybe, three or four for the coming fall. That, certainly, the spring program, if scheduled, should not be made a part of our own staff, but should be an import again, perhaps, from Chicago.
I am convinced that this is a very good recommendation, and that we might consider it. This has been discussed with Mr. Fellows of KETC, and he is enthusiastic about seeing us start a program this coming spring. It was suggested again that before we did such a thing that we might use the latter part of the fall semester for a series of promotional programs.
Again-it was pointed cut that if we felt;the spring, was too soon, that we might use the spring semester for promotional telecasts, bringing the junior college before the public, and all aspects of the college program and save our one, two, or three television programs for college credit for the fall semester.
I know that Mr. Fellows is interested in what we might do this coming summer, and we might consider this from the standpoint of helping students accelerate their programs academically during the summer months.
11. Types of classes were discussed and it was pointed out that we could divide them into two parts: one, the basic education classes which are required courses in the sciences, English, etc.,and two, the elective courses which would include such subjects as cultural, business, technical, etc.
Dr. Erickson said that the basic education courses were the breadand-butter courses and that we should start out there. That the elective courses, too often, did not go over as well as the basic courses because students did not have to have them. But once your reputation was made, then you could move into the cultural area.
He contradicted himself a little here when he suggested that one of the people wo might bring down from Chicago was an outstanding man in the humanities, and could do a great job in this area. Naturally, this would be a cultural course, and could be introduced as a promotional course, perhaps, explaining to the citizens of St, Louis

- page 5 what we could do in educational television.
12. Chicago has not had any problem in accreditation since they have kept the North Central Association advised, and he suggested that if we move into this area, that we ?.<

,eep Dr. Norman Burns, Executive Secretary of the North Central Association continuously advised of our progress. I
13. If we. are interested in working with Chicago, he suggested strongly that our Board adopt a resolution and send it to Chicago's Board for consideration; that this resolution might be a request for assistance in getting our program started; and to have Chicago release on leave, or, perhaps, on a commute basis during the year, for two or three days a week, several people who are experienced in the field of educational television.
He further suggested, that if we do this, we pay the Chicago system and not the teachers concerned, so that the teachers would not lose their rights within the Chicago system itself. If we employed someone on a commute basis, it probably would be on a per diem which would cover a salary renumeration as well as expenses.
14. We discussed again the scheduling of these courses and the final decision/emphasized the need for promotional and descriptive broadcasts of v/hat we are, and what we are doing. The summer then might be devoted to the preparation of the fall program, whether this bje from our own staff, or from the Chicago area. However, emphasis, again, was made on the need for experienced personnel for the first programs this coming fall.
It v/as generally agreed that we would be safer if we did not plan to launch our own program until the fall of 1964.
15. Considerable amount of discussion concerned itself with the administrative help needed to put on this type of a program for the community. Dr. Erickson emphasized that the secret to the success of educational television was in the care with which it was planned, the care with which the college chose a producer who could produce television programs, and that this was essential if we were to go into it at all.
He cited several instances of failures in educational television, and he is convinced that all of these were due to the inability of the college to understand the importance of highly competent personnel in production as well as in teaching.
This producer should be selected by the administration,'.and should be a member of the college staff. He should have experience in broadcasting, and in working with people. He should have been a teacher. He should understand teachers and teacher problems.
In addition to the producer who would work directly with the teachers and with the television station as our program developed in size, we should, also, have a person to administer all of the details of the educational 3erios. The administrator would work in the field of

- page 6-
^P curriculum development, and should have experience as a coordinator, should have a philosophy of a junior college educator, should be creative, and should really be a public relations person selling this whole concept, not only to the community, but to the staff.
Chicago has had two people in this area of production and administration. Dr. Erickson has been the man in administration, Dr.
Chasow has been the man in production. Since Dr. Erickson has now been appointed head of on^ of the Chicago Junior Colleges, Dr.
Chasow has become the administrator, and they have now employed another person to act as producer.
Dr. Erickson suggested that if we go into this, we need the administrator first, and he should be someone who can, not only administer the program, but could act in the capacity of producer. If we could not find such a man, then he would go along with the idea of getting a producer, since of the two choices, the producer is fundamental if we are to put on first rate programs. In other words, the emphasis, over and over again, was on first rate television programs which could only be put on by a producer who understood what he was doing,and how to work with the teachers involved, and, also, how to work with the television station.
Dr. Erickson mentioned that the administrator, when employed, should also be someone who could work in research and follow-up studies.
Chicago has grown to such size that they now have someone in research^ as well as, in the other.two positions.
Several institutions were mentioned where producers might be available, since these colleges and universities do have programs training people of ..this type. The institutions mentioned were: a. The University of Michigan, through their Department of
Speech, headed by Dr. Edward Stasheff. b. Michigan State University, and the person mentioned there was Dr. Colby Lev/is. c. Indiana University , and the contact person was Dr. Ole
Larson.
The previous comments were all covered during a morning session of three hours. Following this, we had lunch with Mr. Curtis, who is Chairman of the Board for Television Station KETC. We then adjourned to the Station itself to further discuss some of the points. The final conclusions for the spring semester are as follows: a. Introduce the Junior College to St. Louis, its staff, its objectives, its curriculum and its plans. b. Consider the possibility of offering one course in educational television, not necessarily for credit but simply for an introduction of what can be done. This would be

Specific objectives should be set up for all of these television programs, and the faculty should be included in the development of these objectives. f. A very heavy public relations program is necessary if the educational television offerings are to be successful. g. The producer should be employed as soon as possible, and should spend at least one week in Chicago working with the Chicago
Junior College people. h. A letter should be sent to Superintendent Willis of the Chicago
Schools for his consideration of the loan of a television teacher djk to help launch our program.
I&F television soon.
I Dr. Erickson would, naturally, like a copy of this letter. A letter might also mention the possibility of obtaining canned programs, and what terms we would have to work out with Chicago for either a loaned teacher or a canned program,

This is for information of the Board members and for members of the administrative staff of the District.
It should be the topic of discussion at an early special Board Meeting, so that we would know whether or not to persue this matter much further.
There is not too much time to argue about it if we are to do anything this coming spring semester.
