Read Emerald Classified OSBA Office Located In Eric W. Allen Hall By Travis Cavens Emerald Feature Writer Situated in room 310 of A lion hall is the office o£ Robert K. Summers, assistant profeasor of journalism and secretary-man ager of the Oregon State, Broad casters association. Summers, who teaches radio arid television classes, also is paid by OSBA to conduct the joint business of its approximately 50 commer cial radio and TV stations. He aids in such projects as setting up statewide radio net- i works to broadcast the annual Shrine football games, the high school basketball tournaments and the state championship play offs. The recent live broadcast of President fcisenhower’s Mc.Nary Dam dedication spech through out Oregon, Washington and Ida ho was made possible by OSBA, At this years Oregon State Fair, OSBA sponsored the state wide talent contest which sent three teenagers from Albany, Ore., to appear on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour show in New r York. This (rvfrt was partially responsible for drawing the larg est crowd m the history of the fair. Approximately 3,0<K) more people attended than last year. Summers believes that having the offices of OSRA on campus gives his radio and TV students a more direct contact with profes sional broadcasting. He hirnself has had 15 years of practical experience, having worked in numerous stations throughout the United States. Summers stated that the big gest challenge OSBA and the other 43 state: broadcasting asso ciations in the nation now face is the need “to secure right of access to news sources and es tablish equality of treatment as members of the press.” He feels that it is unfair to let news papers report hearings, commit tee meetings or senate investi gations, and not let radio and TV do likewise. OSBA was organized ,-n 1940 and is one of the few associa^ tions in the nation which has a paid secretary-manager. Welcome Students ! Come in and get acquainted with us.
