G.I. on TV

Dartmouth College has been chosen one of 26 leading colleges and universities to participate in an educational television project, sponsored by the CBS Television Network, which will begin in September. The program, entitled TheSearch, will take the form of a weekly series of presentations and will dramatize higher education's cultural and scientific contributions to the American scene. Dartmouth's part in the program will feature the Great Issues Course and is tentatively called "Great Issues A Course to Make Students Aware of Global Cross-Currents of Thought." Each special program will be filmed at the individual college or university.

On the local scene some strides have recently been made toward the realization of television in the North Country. President Dickey with several members of the College's Television Committee attended a conference called by New Hampshire's Governor Hugh Gregg in Concord last month to discuss the possibilities of educational television in northern New England. Shortly after this meeting, which included State officials, university presidents and television consultants, the Federal Communications Commission granted permission to Mount Washington TV, Inc., recently the applicant for a television broadcast station on the top of Mt. Washington, to conduct signal tests on a temporary basis from the summit the results to be presented to the FCC. Sensitive TV signal recording apparatus installed in a station wagon will be driven into many New England communities, Hanover among them, where measurements will be made of signals transmitted from Mt. Washington.
