 GENERAL INFORMATION
 The curricula in Radio and Television are designed to give each student a broad
cultural background and to train for specialization according to individual interests and
aptitudes. It involves training in the fields relevant to that end with the student se-
curing his basic education from the program of the University College and his specialized
training in the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, or
the College of Engineering. The three general categories of activity involved in radio
and television are:
 1) technical operation
 2) commercial activities
 3) programming and production activities
 Since the demand for persons thoroughly trained in radio and television has been
steadily increasing, the curricula are organized to acquaint the student with all the
aspects of program preparation and production, and with the organization and man-
agement of a radio station. The University of Florida has unusual facilities, equipment,
and staff for the teaching of radio and television. The broadcasting studios, of which
there are two, along with an auxiliary studio, are all of floated, soundproof construction.
A ten channel console, acetate and tape recording equipment, direct lines to the local
radio stations for broadcasting purposes, are all available for student training. In ad-
dition, a practice studio and equipment for research purposes are available to graduate
students. Students are also encouraged to gain experience at Radio Station WRUF.
 A Committee on Radio Education administers the curricula. By means of tests,
conferences, and other devices this Committee advises and assists students who are in-
terested in the field.
 METHOD OF REGISTRATION
 The student who wishes to register for one of the programs of Training for Radio
and Television is to report to the Chairman of the Committee on Radio Education

adviser will assist the student in outlining his program and will recommend the courses
for which the student is to register each semester.
