Sener Gives Views On Educations! TV In Sacramento Speech
William Sener, head of the department of telecommunications, expressed his views on educational television before the first meeting of the Citizens Advisory committee on Educational Television at Sacramento yesterday.
Sener told the committee that he was convinced control of any California Educational TV network should be in the hands of local communities.
Warns Them
But he warned of the danger in letting local educators have full control or of letting local service clubs monopolize programming to promote their own organizations.
He said he believed the days of "mass audiences” in TV were declining and that serious thinking should be done about “selected audiences.”
Sener suggested the possibility of special programs for attorneys, dentists, carpenters, or other professions. He also recommended that educational programs could be sold to commercial stations if properly produced.
No Secret
He told the committee that public education classrooms will “no longer be a secret” if California sets up a TV network.
The “philosophy of modern teaching” may have to be defended when it becomes known to the general public througn TV, he said.
The 30-member committee, which was appointed by Gov. Earl Warren, discussed the problems and impact of educational television all day without reaching major decisions.
Governor Warren addressed the group briefly, saying that politics must be kept out of educational television.
No Politics
“The last thing I want to see done is to set up an agency that would have political implications,” Warren said.	•
|
“Under no circumstances should any person use It for personal agrandizement or to promote his own political advocacy,” the governor said.
Warren also told the policy-setting committee that he did not want to see educational television competitive with private enterprise.	\
“It must get into the field of entertainment or any other field which rightfully belongs to commercial television,” Warren told the 30 committee members.
Bill Introduced
In answer to a question, Warren said he could not now appraise the attitude of the Legislature toward putting up the cash to get educational TV started but he told the committee if it came up with a “reasonable” program "it would carry great weight with the legislature.”
Assemblyman Francis Dunn (D-Oakland) has introduced a bill to lend 55,000,000 to local districts to construct and equip educational television stations.
Harrison T. McClung of the National Citizens Committee on Educational Television told the group nearly every family ln the nation would have a TV set by 1960. He said Americans now are spending one-third as much for TV sets as for automobiles.
Trovet Bookmart Sales Total 150 After Two Days Operation
Out of 672 books taken in, 150 of them have already been sold following the second-day operations at the Trovet bookmart, said President Bob Hallberg.
The bookmart, a non-profit book agency, located in the service office of the information building, is set up like a supermarket. It is designed for those students wanting to buy and sell books.
“Evening hours for the benefit of University College students have not been worked out yet.” Hallberg said.
The bookmart, open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday-through Friday, will close Feb. 19.
Prices are set by prospective sellers. If the book is sold. 10 cents is charged to help the mart cover its operational costs. If no buyer is found for the book, it is returned to the owner and no charge is made.
Trovet members not on the mart committee are asked to stop in and help relax the “swamp” condition.
'Salty and Direct' Approach
Critics Praise Artist
Keith Crown Jr., assistant professor of fine arts, has 35 oil paintings on exhibit in a one-man showing at the Pasadena Art Institute.
Sun and sea views from his Manhattan Beach home are the subject of many of the 35 oils by Crown. He also deals with crowded beach scenes, amusing subjects from his own kitchen such as the burners of the gas stove or an open refrigerator.
Won Medal
In announcing his exhibit the Pasadena Art Institute said:
"An eventual aim of every serious artist is to create an adequate and particular visual language. Keith Crown's speech is salty and direct, his vocabulary fresh and devoid of cliches. . . . The speech ofr his statements have come after*many years of formal training and of earlier meticulous, often detailed, line and brush work.”
During World War II Crown was a regimental artist with the 25th division which fought at Guadalcanal. New' Georgia and Luzon.
He was awarded the bronze star for exposing himself in an advanced position in order to paint a terrain picture for General MacArthur of a section of ground which could not be photographed from the air properly.
The exhibit will be shown until Feb. 18.

He will speak of the negroes as, “Hewers of wood and carriers of water at a time when the nation so greatly depended upon just such service.

Drafted! How to Get Out?
Egyptian student Mahmud So-hagi, recently inducted into the Marines against his will, said he registered for the draft on the advice of the counseling service.
He registered with a local draft board last April 29 and protested his induction on May 22 because he wasn’t a citizen. He was in the country on a visitor’s passport at the time.
Sohagi is now waiting for the State department to rule whether or not he will remain in the Marines. His case was referred to them when he was picked up by the Navy shore patrol for overstaying leave granted after boot camp.
Don’t Report
The Egyptian consul in San Francisco, who he visited during his leave, advised him not to report back to duty, Sohagi said.
Members of the counseling service yesterday denied that Sohagi received any draft registration advice from them.
“To our knowledge there is no evidence that Sohagi consulted any gf the international students alvisers provided by the university,” said Mrs. Dorothy Zech, foreign-students adviser.
There is no question, however, that Sohagi did not know about the counseling services although international students are taken through these offices upon their arrival at SC, she added.
Not Consulted
Albert F. Zech, counselor of men and student military adviser, said “that the whole thing is unfortunate, but at no time did he ever consult me. I finally looked him up last week and got his side of the story.”
Dr. Zech hopes that in the future all students, both American and international, with military problems will consult him first, and fellow students second.

Draft to Call Teenagers
by United Press
WASHINGTON—Selective Service said yesterday that “many”
19-year-old	youths will be drafted this month to meet the Army’s manpower needs and that “most boards” will take some younger men in March and April.
A spokesman said local boards have been ordered to “try to take
20-year-olds,	but will call younger men if necessary.” He made clear the boards would not be able to fill their quotas without dipping into the ranks of youths 19.
The Defense Department has asked selective service to supply 53,000 men a month in the February-March-April period. All will be assigned to the Army. The Selective Service spokesman could give no estimate of the total number of 19-year-olds which will have to be taken.

Regents of the University of California at Los Angeles yesterday took two additional steps to bring to an end a long-standing controversy within the university over the so-called “loyalty oaths.”
The regents’ action at a meeting on the Los Angeles campus was taken as a result of the university’s “loyalty oath” being declared invalid by the State Supreme Court because it was superseded by the State’s Levering act, which requires a loyalty declaration from all State employes.
