Page 2 ,Vw we W A 'Y aoaewaful Unlimited horizons, - we have seen only a glimpse of them through the opening of the magic door called television. Vast unexplored continents of knowledge and diver- sion lie before us, ours to discover at the flip of a switch. As a possible means of mass education in current events and the fine arts, a medium like television has never before been produced. Recognizing this fact, the Federal Communications Commission has fostered a plan for the allotment to educational institutions of one-fifth of the avail- able television channels. lf this plan is adopted, the educational potential of television will undergo an unprecedented increase, ln La Crosse we have as yet seen little of this new medium, but the value and influence of television have already made themselves felt, Acknowledging video's future significance as an educational instrument, we have chosen television as the theme for our i952 Booster.
