LOUIS, Mo. (AD The St. Louis University president said Saturday that laymen would be given control of the Roman Catholic school's board of trustees. Very Rev. Paul C.

Rein-ert, president of the university operated by the Society of Jesus, said 18 laymen of various faiths plus 10 Jesuit priests would compose the policy-making board under the reorganization plan effective June 1. Daniel L. Schlafly, former president of the St. Louis public school board and still a member of that board, will replace Father Reinert as chairman of the board of trustees. "WE ARE in the process of contacting laymen who might serve on the board," mipht he Methodist, Presbyterian or Jewish." Mr.

Schlafly is a Roman Catholic. "I will remain as president of the school," said Father Reinert. "And the institution will continue as a Roman Catholic and Jesuit university." The trustees, which set school policy and must approve procedures, presently are 13 Jesuit priests. "THIS MOVE is not connected with the announced secularization of Webster College in Webster Groves, said Father Reinert.

The board of trustees met Saturday to discuss the money problems which threaten to close the station. They declined to disclose details.

WCET has been seeking outside help since the city schools announced tentative cutback of its support, the station's biggest source of income. Station Manager Charles -Vaughan was in New York two days last week to apply for a grant from the Ford Foundation. Ford gave to WCET last year. The foundation is the nation's largest backer of educational TV (ETV). MEANWHILE, WCET and all other educational television stations in the country are keyed for Thursday's 'long-awaited Carnegie re-5ort on the ETV "money gap." The study may spring an answer for long-range Support for the; city's station.

A Carnegie Corp. com-mission will announce findings of a 14-month survey on the field's problems, 'growth structure and possible financial remedies. 'The dollar drought is ETV' "biggest obstacle. WCET, a pioneer station, 'faces the most pressing difficulties In the nation. r' AN ENQUIRER check to-rl a pinpoints conditions elsewhere.

An overall view in Satur-. day's Enquirer referred to BS MM Cleveland's WVIZ is not quite two years old, airs 50 more hours than WCET, begins regular color-casting In 10 days, will move to new studios this fall and already is looking for a second channel. Solid community support from key sources enables WVIZ to help support itself. In St.

Louis, KETC is reorganizing and is in the process of a $300,000 local capital Improvement drive. Business leaders play starring roles. But the community-backed station is not well off. KETC broadcasts no local shows. It owns no workable cameras or modern equipment.

After hard times, the station is fighting to regain followers. COLUMBUS is served by WOSU, whose call letters indicate the owner, Ohio State University. Some Cincinna-tians believe WCET should operate under a wing of the University of Cincinnati. WOSU, with programming similar to WCET, airs fewer hours than WCET, is not growing as fast and has no budget of its own. But WOSU does not worry about going out of business.

Cincinnati's station receives more than half its $300,000 income from school systems. Viewers and business together donate less than 10. Thir-. teen years ago WCET raised $250,000 to start out and saw financial ghosts on its screen almost immediately. Cleveland profited from "We broadcast in plant courses to 56 industries here in technology, management, letterwriting and business economics." Miss Cope said.

"From the beginning, we aimed to build excellence in all our programming. The result is $150,000 in national contracts for 1967. Some are business productions." She emphasized the benefit of "local underwriting. Companies with an image to build underwrite a series of ETV programs. They're allowed only a credit line at the end of programs (ETV has no commercials).

"WE TELECAST local sports this way, for example. The national show "French Chef" Is backed by Polaroid. It's a good image builder for the firms. The money comes out of their contribution dollars, not the advertising budget." WVIZ, also a UHF outlet on channel 25, has a budget over $500,000. WCET budgets $353,000.

Miss Cope said fewer than 50 of Cleveland receivers have Cincinnati area has about 40. This fall WVIZ moves from its location in a school to a new home with three studios. WCET has one large studio. Four 2500 megacycle channels, direct line beams are being added for school use. "When we bought our transmitter, we got color capability," Miss Cope stated.

"We broadcast the State of the Union address in color and starting February 1 we'll show color films regularly." THE STATION, which aired almost the same number of hours as WCET last April, is now up to 90 a week. WCET Increased from 51 to 60. before the present cutback. Miss Cope stressed the station gets help from its trustees when needed. "Yell help and tell them 16 Oz.

"We've been on our own two feet since the first year," said Miss Betty Cope, WVIZ general manager. Of that total, $250,000 came from the Federal ETV facilities act, passed since 1954.

Another $500,000 came during three years from business and foundations for capital outlays only. THIRTY EIGHT school districts in four counties add $1 per pupil per year for 300,000 students. Viewers donate $40,000. Such support generates a further lift from local productions by the staff of 32, twice WCET's size. Fingertip action what needs to be done and they'll do It," she said.
