Mass Communications Earns New Emphasis for '70 Closed Circuit TV, New Paper Advisor Key Change David Wise, Larry Mullette and Bob Duven work on the micro- phone and boom. These studio instruments are essential in closed circuit television produc- tion. Right: The central point of all taped programs is the video tape recorder. Working with it are lab assistants, John McDaniels, Kip Conley, Gene Carson, Mark Beazer and Scott Litchfield. New electronic facilities and a new publication advisor marked a revised mass com- munications emphasis at Shadle in '70. A twelve-man student crew operated the three-channel closed circuit TV system, in which live and taped pro- grams are circulated to the classrooms. This enabled the teachers to maintain a class- room atmosphere and avoid traveling to different loca- tions. Three students worked evenings at KSPS-TV for ad- ditional experience. The system was completed for the second semester. Mr. Ted Clark, Closed Circuit TV Coordinator, feels that the program is very promisingg providing new benefits for the teacher and the student body. With the arrival of Mr. Kent Jones as journalism instruc- tor and newspaper advisor, a proposed program would re- quire only a semester of journalism before working on the Hl-LITES or the SPOR- RAN. Eventually journalism I! will be a course in elec- tronic journalism. The em- phasis would be on television journalism - for example the writing and production of news. Mr. Kent Jones has stated that, Hopefully journalism can be an exciting experience as the mass media has be- come such an integral part of our life.
