Well Educated Are
Most Receptive To
Educational TV
Eugene The person' most
receptive to educational tele
vision is one who is fairly well
educated, capable of making
up his own mind and of in
fluencing others arid has a re
spected occupation. . .....
This is the conclusion of a
group of University of Oregon
investigators who have made
their first report in a tnree-
year study into the nature
and sources of resistance to
the use of television for educa
tion purposes.
The study is an effort to
find out why some have not
wholeheartedly accepted tele
vision, - radio and related
media for educational pur
poses; why there has not been
a more widespread student de
mand for these audio-visual
aids; 'and why there is not
more support and interest
shown by the general public
to use them for extending edu
cational horizons. ;
Start Study
Since there has been con
siderable evidence of the vir
tues of the media for educa
tional purposes, the investi
gators began their study with
the belief that a study or. ine
negative factors of indiffer
ence, resistance and rejection
is basic to the problem of ac
ceptance and effective utiliza
tion. ' .-
The investigators have 'con
cluded that the person who
most readily accepts educa
tional television is also , most
receptive to other forms of
culture and education, men
conclusions, however,- are
qualified by the necessity for
more detailed and analytic
studies.
The research is under the
auspices of the University In
stitute of Community stuaies
and is , being f lanced by a
grant from the U.S. office of
education under the National
Defense Education act.

Fate of Confessed
Killer Foreseen
By Psychiatrist
Seattle, Wash.-(UPD-A first
degree murder charge was to
be filed today against an 18-year-old
confessed killer
whose fate was foreseen by
a court psychiatrist two years
ago.
King County Prosecutor
Charles O. Carroll said he
planned to file the charge be
fore 3 p.m., EST, against
Michael A. Olds, who con
fessed he shot Mrs. Blossom
Braham, 38, a former dancer,
in a neighborhood grocery
March 28.
But M. A. Harmon, chief of
the state Bureau of Juvenile
Rehabilitation, said: "The boy
pulled the trigger, but the
whole sordid mess began the
moment he was brought into
the world.
Born Illegitimately
That was Dec. 23, 1942.
when Michael was born out
of wedlock to a 14-year-old
Seattle girl. Six months later
he was found by juvenile au
thorities to be "neglected and
undernourished" and was hos
pitalized. .
From then on he was a
problem of the state. He was
in and out of 17 foster homes,
Sometimes ,he ran away to
look for his mother, Laura.
He found his mother once
when he was 11. They met
by , accident on a bus. She
promised to meet him, but
never did.
When he was 16 he ran
away to Dayton, Wash., where
a 4-year-old boy told him he
looked like a tramp. Michael
lured the boy into an alley
and choked him into uncon
sciousness,, . - r .
Tried To 'Gas' People
Later he admitted stuffing
rags into the exhaust pipes
of cars "to gas the people."
"It Is doubtful that Mike
ever will be able to make a
better than marginal adjust
ment, for he has been dam
aged more than the human
personality can stand without
permanent scarring," report
ed Dr. Richard B. Jarvis, the
court's consulting psychiatrist,
when he was committed later
to the state Department of
Institutions.' ' ;
"He Is a living testimonial
to the inadequacies of our
system for handling deprived
children." . ; ' ,.
