Part of the cast of The Kansas City Story, Dr. Charles Hunter m the control room at the right. L we 6,660 MIAAJAOIQ f The Radio Workshop of the University was started in the fall of 1944. Under the direction of Dr. Charles F. Hunter, assistant professor of Eng- lish Language and Literature and director of Radio, the Workshop included a course in the principles of radio. The radio students had ample opportunity to put into practice much of what they learned in class through the actual broadcasts the Workshop presented on local stations. The students wrote many of the scripts and were the source of talent. One ten-minute program, aired every Friday night, gave, in skit fonn, the latest campus news and gossip. It saluted special groups and organizations at the University, such as the returning veterans, the dental students and the University News. The scripts were written by committees from the class, aided by Dr. Hunter. Another series, presented the third Sunday of every month, was a fifteen-minute documentary salute to the various organizations of the Council of Social Agencies of Creater Kansas City. Several of those scripts were published and made available to social agencies throughout the country. The Workshop also ran a thirteen-week series, The Kansas City Story, dramatizing the work of the various departments of our city government. Still other programs were done from time to time. During October, five shows were done for the War Chest campaign. In class, radio students made recordings of their voices and heard transcriptions of some of their broadcasts. They also practiced using the micro- phone, Wrote scripts, and aided in the production of some of the programs. All this was in addition to study of the general field of radio broadcasting. The Workshop is housed on the third floor of the Administration building. Besides an office, it includes a newly installed studio and control room. The large studio was built by well qualified acous- tical engineers with advice frorn an expert radio technician. It is equipped with fine microphones, monitoring equipment, and playback turntables. With ample funds to back it up, the Radio Workshop is planning increased expansion with the possibility of an PM station after the war. New courses will be added and new programs developed.
