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.
