INSTALLED in these quarters is the complicated collection of cameras, control equipment, lighting fixtures, and telecasting devices necessary to get a program from the studio floor or film surface to viewers' living room screens.

Other key men of the operation are Miles Reed and Hal Diecker, producer-directors for KOOL; Bud Lilly, executive producer director for KOY; Walter Styles, engineering supervisor; and Cliff Miller, chief engineer.

Sports got the station off to a fast-moving start last night along with Abbott and Cos-tello, Platter Panorama, and two movies. From the sports world came professional and college football highlights, boxing, wrestling, and football scoreboard reports. ppiiplpllllililliilli 1 CP! ere at last NEW YORK (AP) Actress Eve Arden is Just a funny schoolmarm to most television viewers and radio listeners, but to teachers she's a champion for their profession. Statuesque Miss Arden, Connie Brooks of "Our Miss Brooks," explains it this way: The cracks on the show about low teachers salaries and equipment shortages are regarded by teachers as a big help in making the public aware of the plight of the nation's school system. "The constant pin-pricking we do with humor draws she related during a stopover here en route back to Hollywood from a European vacation with her husband, actor Brooks West.

"I do believe this prepares people for legislation that helps teachers." AND ALTHOUGH the prime purpose of the show is humor. Miss Arden said she believes it also serves another serious purpose. "It helps children to realize that teachers have their own problems outside the schools." Meanwhile, she declared, there have been no objections from teachers because of the comic and often ridiculous situations in which Miss Brooks becomes involved. And she has received a number of PTA and other citations for her portrayals. On the other hand, she continued, many teachers write, "how true to life Osgood Conk-lin (Gale Gordon) is just like our principal." Miss Arden said the program appeared to have a wide appeal beyond teachers it evokes nostalgia among older people, pupils like to compare their own teachers with Miss Brooks, and pre-school kiddies watch to see what school will be like and just for laughs.

ALTHOUGH SHE'S perhaps the best known schoolteacher in America, Miss Arden never taught school professionally. "But when I was in grammar school at Mill Valley, Calif, by the time I was in the seventh grade I had substituted for the teacher in every grade, including the seventh," she related. Besides, Miss Arden gets plenty of professional advice from her school teacher fans who bombard her with mail, so if she begins to act un-school-teacherish, she'll hear about it and fast.
